 My Blackberry...Details to Follow
|
|
Whenever I embrace a new technology, I jump in feet first and immerse myself in that technology. My Blackberry Curve is no exception.
Hardware Add Ons:
· 4 GB Micro SD card (I have almost filled it.)
Software:
· Weathereye (Current, short and long term forecasts) http://www.theweathernetwork.com /mobile/weathereyebb
· Poynet (Search from current location, businesses and movies. Then you can map it.)
http://www.mypoynt.com/
· Assistant (track credit card and bank account balances and transactions and more...) http://www.pageonce.com/
The first five account you track are free. To track more accounts, the
cost is $9.99/year. The price dropped! It did cost $4.99/month!
· Beyond411 Search (just as the name implies...)
http://thebogles.com/berry/beyond411
· Opera Mini Browser (Better internet browser than the Blackberry one)
http://www.opera.com/mini/download/blackberry/
Stay away from YahooGo.
This app caused my Standby Mode to stop waking up. I needed to do a
hard reset (take the battery out) to get my Blackberry to wake up.

Printers and Printer Cartridges
|
Printers
- I do not buy multi-function, all-in-one printers. If the scanner breaks,
you throw the whole thing away. I sacrificed a little office real
estate for a small flat bed scanner. This gets more use from me than
the scanner that cannot scan a book page withoutripping the page out.
- Canon is the brand I go with. HP charges the most amount of money possible for the least amount quality product.
- If the cartridge is not clear (you cannot see the ink level), I do not
buy the printer. I use my eyes to determine when to replace a
cartridge, not the program provided by the vendor trying to sell me
more ink.
Printer Cartridges
- Cartridge World is the place to re-fill cartridges (www.cartridgeworld.com). No more ruined tri-fold brochure paper when using Office Max/Office Depot/Staples replacement cartridges.
- Cartridge World makes it right. If their cartridge does not work, they replace it or refund your money with no questions asked.

Do You Own Your Domain Name?
|
Do you have a website for your business?
You would think you own the website name (domain).
Think again!
Go
to www.whoisnet/whois/"your website name" and see who owns your
website. My client found out the owner was her PR firm. She asked me if
$200 /year to host her website was reasonable. I thought that I could
find a better deal and when I started the process to move her to
another web hosting company, I discovered she did not own her domain.
If she does not own the domain, she cannot move to another web hosting
company. Will the PR firm change the ownership to her or will legal
action be necessary? Take the time today to see who owns your domain.
