"thats great news, over 2 thousand page views, many thanks people.
I will promise to keep adding new things going into 2011 as I have been neglecting the site on favour of twitter as its quick on the move to keep up to date but blogs are brilliant to educate and train/inform people and help you out with your apps issues."

Happy New Year for 2011
Happy New Year fellow bloggers and tweeters as this year draws to an end I wish you all health wealth and good fortune and fun for the coming year 2011.
I have had many challenges over 2010 and many memorable moments during my travels.
January was quietish but Feb I popped over to Amsterdam to deliver Excel training to a corporation I have worked with before, this was a good laugh as I had a mixed bunch of Dutch, English, Italian and Belgians on the courses.
My work has taken me far and wide across the UK, only recently down to Stonehenge for a few days work teaching Windows basics and Excel stock order systems.
Many a trek to Milton Keynes now completed I am actually starting to remember the islands !!
Manchester is imprinted on my brain aswell now.
Birmingham sees my company more than most and we are moving offices with one client I work with to new facilities which will be good.
So good luck all and enjoy your PC experiences in 2011.

mass emailer for Excel

install the add-in and away you go, it really works !!!
I had this a few years ago and its just as good now

Spotify for instant access to millions of tracks
Playing with http://www.spotify.com/ allows you to search and listen to tons of tracks via its friendly interface.
Imagine you have your iTunes Library but suddenly there are millions of tracks to choose from, thne you have Spotify.
OK after your trial period runs out of about 20hrs then its £6 or so per month but that wouldnt even buy you 1 CD at todays prices.
I searched for a lot of stuff and it nearly always came up with the goods, The Hurts, Vampire Weekend, Elvis, Beatles, Ultravox, Sisters of Mercy, whatever !!!
You can tag them as favourites and create groups of tracks to play whenevr you like.
ENJOY !

iTunes Remote Control using your iPhone
Wow, this is fun.
I can control my iTunes application on my PC and listen to my favourite tracks, search, change the volume, pause, listen to Albums, Podcats, Playlists all via my Apple iPhone.
Download the FREE app from the App Store called "Remote" and then connect to your Library remotely.
Within seconds you will be able to crank up your speakers and listen to any of your iTunes Library via the phone.
I can see this developing so with blue tooth speakers downstairs I can easily listen to my favourite music via the iPhone, Awesome !!!

BACKUP
Note:
Make sure you backup your user files on a regular basis, I had a crisis call from the family after pictures were deleted by mistake in Picasa, luckily the recycle bin came to the rescue as they had been deleted also from the Camera card.
