<title>Sunbird and Google Calendar</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I often have people wondering where I am. You know &mdash; Revenue Canada, bill collectors and the ex.</p>

<p>No, seriously though, it's more like business associates, clients, friends and family.</p>

<p>Last year I tried using an email notification that I sent out to my clients. This worked well, but there is always someone who misses receiving the message. This year I decided to use a calendar. </p>

<p>I learned that <a href="http://www.google.com/calendar">Google has a service</a> you can sign up for that allows you to publish a calendar. Besides a public calendar I also wanted a private calendar, and preferably one that wasn't on the Internet. <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/">Sunbird</a> was the answer. Using <b>Sunbird</b> I can create a private calendar and a public calendar and if I want to, I can view them both at once. See the image below:</p>

<div align="center"><img src="http://homebusiness-websites.com/blogimages/cal-01.gif" width="400" height="291" alt="cal-01.gif 400x291" border="0"><br><i><span style="color: brown;">The blue entries are public and<br> automatically published to my Google calendar.</span></i></div>

<p>The public calendar integrates with my Google calendar, and anything published in Sunbird automatically updates my calendar in Google. As well, if I am someplace other than in my office, I can add things to my Google calendar and the next time I open Sunbird in my office, it will already be updated from my Google entries.</p>

<p>Once you have signed up for the Google calendar you can copy the code to put it on your site so it displays in your site template. You can see mine <a href="http://homebusiness-websites.com/calendar.html">here</a>.</p>

<p>You can find instructions on how to set this up <a href="http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/usage.html#top">here</a>.</p>]]></description>

<title>Internet Explorer Security Woes</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols who writes for eWeek, said in a new article, "<a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1943473,00.asp">Why Is Anyone Still Using Internet Explorer?</a>":</p>

<blockquote>"OK, how many times must Internet Explorer be ripped open like a hot 16-year-old in a summer slasher movie before people finally get it: IE is not safe. Period. End of Statement." </blockquote>

<p>Well... if you read the article, you may be asking yourself that very question.</p>]]></description>

<title>I&apos;ll trade you this paperclip</title>

He would trade something small for something bigger, and keep trading up until he got something he wanted. He claims he wasn't very good at it. Now he is trading a paperclip for a house... well, sort of....</p>

<p>The game is called <i>Bigger and Better</i>. He thought about this game when he decided he should have a house, but can't even afford a down payment.</p>]]></description>

<title>Can We Make a Deal with Aaron White?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I was reading an <a href="http://halifaxherald.com/NovaScotia/490426.html">article from the Halifax Herald</a> this morning about a gentleman, Aaron Glenn White, who owes  $30,000 for 30 convictions of driving a car without any insurance or license. He claims he only tries to drive to get to work or get groceries. In the small town of Bridgewater, police officers recognize his vehicle and pull him over and fine him every time they see him.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>AOL is offering free TV shows to watch on your computer. </p>

<blockquote>"It will allow consumers to stream full-length episodes from favorite series such as Welcome Back Kotter, Sisters, Beetlejuice, Lois &amp; Clark, La Femme Nikita and Growing Pains free and on-demand on the Web. Along with full-length episodes,..."</blockquote>

<p>This is probably something that you don't want to get caught doing if you are not self-employed. And those os us who are self employed can probably find more productive things to do through the day. Still if you would like to know more about it just go to <a href="http://television.aol.com/in2tv">http://television.aol.com/in2tv</a>.</p>

<p>It is only available for Windows&reg; XP, 32 bit or 64 bit operating systems. So for those of you who don't use XP, don't trash your TV just yet;-)</p>]]></description>

<title>Why do some people bother buying?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" src="http://homebusiness-websites.com/images/first-cover-small.jpg" width="225" height="245" alt="first-cover-small.jpg 225x245" border="0" hspace="6"> I am the author of the product to the left which is a series of tutorials that show someone <a href="http://homebusiness-websites.com/1st-homebusiness-website.html">how to use NVU</a> and some other free programs to build and attractive, functional website. The biggest problem faced by people wanting to start something of their own online is not understanding how to put it <u>all together</u>. On newsgroups and discussion forms you can often see posts from people looking for help. But the topic covers a broad range of knowledge, and it isn't something that can be answered in one reply.</p>

<p>A reason for a refund I issued today was because the customer said:</p>

<blockquote>The templates, I have them already free from the internet.</blockquote>]]></description>

<title>Let&apos;s have a laugh</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After being married twice, divorced twice, and involved in numerous other failed relationships, I think I am at the point where I am qualified to offer the <em>worst</em> possible relationship advice imaginable. No doubt about it! If you have a great relationship with your spouse or significant other, I'm sure I could help you sour those warm fuzzy feelings. And to top it off, I think I would like to be paid for this invaluable service.</p>

<blockquote>"Dr. Robert H. Coombs, Professor of Behavioral Sciences at UCLA, conducted a review of more than 130 published empirical studies measuring how marital status affects personal well-being. He concluded that scientific investigations, conducted from the 1930s to the present, "attest that married people live longer and generally are more emotionally and physically healthy than the unmarried." Coombs specifically looked at the areas of alcoholism, suicide, morbidity and mortality, mental illness and self reports of happiness."</blockquote>]]></description>

<title>Man beaten to death on Edmonton bus</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I was reading through my news feeds this morning when I came across a story, <a href="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060303/edmonton_beating_060303/20060303?hub=Canada&s_name=">Edmonton man beaten to death on transit bus</a>. I spent 20 years of my adult life in Alberta and find it appalling that Ralph Klein can brag about his 7 billion surplus this year, dole out his "Ralph Bucks" checks to every man woman and child, but continues to let this type of thing happen.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>An <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2006-03-01-caller-id_x.htm?csp=34">article</a> on USA Today reports about <strong>Caller ID spoofing</strong> and that...</p>

<p> <blockquote>"spoofing websites are used by people who buy stolen credit card numbers. They will call a service such as Western Union, setting Caller ID to appear to originate from the card holder's home, and use the credit card number to order cash transfers that they then pick up."</blockquote></p>]]></description>
