| Support is not an annoyance | 2012 05 | 2012/05/22 NickBarron | |||
| - Kerio's recent support changes have caused some customer backlash. I am sypathetic to some of these complaints, but I also see the necessity of the change and think it actually can be good for everyone. - | |||||
| It was a good run | 2011 12 | 2012/04/25 TonyLawrence | |||
| - It was a good run - expect far less activity here - | |||||
| Let's NOT have an email discussion about this! | 2011 08 | ||||
| - This is a less than ideal way to truly have a discussion. If Bill replies to me and I reply to him and then we have to get Stephanie's input and she and Bill l have a little side conversation, things get messy, confused and hard to follow very quickly. There are better ways to handle this. - | |||||
| How should you price an e-book? | 2011 08 | ||||
| - I originally priced my books at $14.95 with discounts for multiple purchases. The sales were fair - I sold a little less than 300 copies at those prices. - | |||||
| Working on weekends | 2011 07 | ||||
| - For me, working on weekends is about being able to choose when I work, not how much I work. I honestly could not say with any confidence how much I work, but I do know that I almost always work when I want to and (more importantly) do NOT work when I don't want to. - | |||||
| Business reasons for using Kerio Connect | 2011 07 | ||||
| - I thought that I would take the discussion away from the technical aspects of the software and focus on the business side of things. - | |||||
| Google Plus One Buttons | 2011 07 | 2011/08/20 videoproduction | |||
| - I've recently added Google Plus One Buttons to pages here. I used to have other buttons - Twitter, Facebook "like" and even some others if we go back far enough. - | |||||
| Helping my sister-in-law with Gmail | 2011 06 | 2011/06/02 TonyLawrence | |||
| - I'd rather send pictures or a move than take control of their computer. They can refer back to what I sent over and over again. - | |||||
| 401K for sole proprietors | 2005 12 | ||||
| - In the U.S., many employers offer 401K plans, but until recently, a sole proprietor could not set up their own tax deferred plan without a fair amount of complication and paperwork. That's changed, but there are still many resources on the web that will tell you that you can't have a 401K without incorporating. - | |||||
| SpamCheetah as it stands today | 2011 03 | ||||
| - SpamCheetah is a greylisting spam control technique and it is more of a spam blocker rather than a spam filter since it really does not filter anything. - | |||||
| Snarling Panda (Google Big Panda update) | 2011 03 | 2011/03/25 TonyLawrence | |||
| - Google 'Big Panda' algorithm change disrupts many web sites, causes bitterness and confusion - | |||||
| Three Computer Repair Books | 2011 03 | ||||
| - This is 162 pages, well written, with good humor and full of practical advice for the person starting out on a shoestring. - | |||||

| Working at home: Vipdesk | 2009 05 | 2012/05/03 TonyLawrence | |||
| - I was researching "Work at Home" opportunities for a possible upcoming article when I came across VipDesk. Unlike so many work at home solicitations, this is actually a legitimate outfit with a pay scale well above minimum wage ($14/hour and up plus benefits). The work could actually be very interesting for the right sort of person: Vipdesk offers a "concierge service" to well heeled clients. That is, the person working at home is a general resource for the client - they might make dinner reservations, travel arrangements, track down hard to find items and so on. - | |||||
| Job Satisfaction and Self-esteem | 2006 07 | ||||
| - A Literature Review of the Relationship Between Job Satisfaction and Self-Esteem - | |||||
| Product Review: Staples One Touch Stapler | 2005 12 | 2011/08/26 anonymous | |||
| - Staples One Touch is junk - | |||||
| Preventing Discrimination | 2006 04 | 2011/06/17 BigDumbDinosaur | |||
| - America is a nation of immigrants. The cultural diversity of America is what makes this country so unique. Recognized worldwide as being the land of opportunities, the United States continues to attract many people from all over the globe. Immigrants come to the United States searching for the American dream. People believe that America is the place that allows them freedom and opportunity for all. In order to prevent discrimination against legal immigrants, the government of the United States created some specific laws. The purpose of this paper is to define laws protecting against national origin discrimination, explain actual court cases, and educate Human Resources managers on how to avoid national origin discrimination. - | |||||

| Rolling over Quickbooks to New Year | 2011 01 | 2011/01/06 TonyLawrence | |||
| - Quickbooks has no rollover feature, so data files keep getting larger - | |||||
| Life is not Fair | 2005 12 | ||||
| - From a secular point of view, it would be surprising if life were fair: fairness is a human concept and a human invention. - | |||||
| Keurig B-60 for the Home Office | 2009 07 | 2010/05/31 TonyLawrence | |||
| - I have been eying Keurig Single Cup coffee makers for some time now. - | |||||
| Retainers | 2005 12 | ||||
| - I suggest setting the retainer amount approximately equal to a third of what you'd ordinarily expect to bill in a year. So, if your typical client uses twenty hours of service, set the retainer to be equal to six or seven hours, and discount their hourly rate approximately 33%. - | |||||
| Make money by answering questions? Probably not! | 2011 02 | 2011/03/07 TonyLawrence | |||
| - These are sites where people post questions and others post answers. The resulting pages carry Adsense advertising and there is some method of sharing revenue with either those who provide the questions, the answers, or both. - | |||||
| Setting hourly rates for Consultants and service providers | 2005 12 | ||||
| - If you are doing anything that includes an hourly or daily rate, you may be unsure of where to set your price. - | |||||
| Setting Project Exit Criteria | 2005 07 | ||||
| - Ever notice how easy it is to get INTO a project, and how hard it is to get OUT of one? - | |||||
| Tired and stressed | 2006 01 | ||||
| - Greedy employers demand more and more while offering less, and even those who would like to offer reasonable working conditions are themselves stressed. - | |||||
| Motivation Through Job Recognition | 2004 12 | ||||
| - One of the most important requirements of a leader is the need to motivate employees to be more productive and help them achieve their goals. - | |||||

| Hard Times | 2010 02 | 2010/02/24 BigDumbDinosaur | |||
| - Hard Times: I know times are really tough for many people. Here in America, we have incredible opportunities to succeed, but our social safety net has a lot of big holes in it - you can fall right through to complete disaster. If you do fall, it can be very hard to move back up, but I fully believe that the best way upward for many of us is self employment. - | |||||

| Friends with Benefits | 2009 11 | ||||
| - Excellent book on social media marketing: Aaargh! OK, I'll read the damn thing, I thought. Maybe there's enough fodder here for a scathing review - tear the skin right off the authors and roast them on a spit! That'll teach that publisher not to send me junk when I don't want it. I sat myself down on the couch and started reading. - | |||||
