Hey all. On my travels, i've discovered an excellent site for would be photographers to earn some money from their shots (or artists earning from their paintings). It is called Redbubble, and i've recently started an account with them.
Basically, if you think your digital shots are worth showcasing and earning a bit of money from them, you can upload and sell your photographs on this site. They take care of all the printing and delivery. You just set the markup price and upload your shots.
Take a look at Redbubble here.
You also have an opportunity to showcase your work through any websites or blogs that you may have. As an example, you may view my products through a widget bellow.
Basically, anyone can purchase your products in the form of postcards, canvasses, prints, posters, etc. They pay the base value + the markup (your take home pay).
If you want to purchase your prints, you just pay the base value.
If you would like to know what the prints turn out like, Redbubble has added a buyer's booth. Individuals who have purchased and liked the products upload the images. Worth checking out.
So far, everything looks interesting and is an excellent idea. Let me know your thoughts.

Winning ebay auctions
Afternoon all,
The other day, I was bidding on ebay for faulty laptops in order to refurbish and sell on. Now, I found a couple of good spec laptops going for a decent price of around £70.00 (devided in two, that was roughly £35 per machine), an excellent bargain. The only trouble was, I bid too early (about a minute before the close) and I ended up missing the boat.
The next auction, I ended up winning the laptop by bidding as the timer reached 5 seconds to the end. Now this led me to thinking that you can win your item, and drive down the price a bit by being a little patient. Wait for around 5 seconds to the end and then bid. You may have more success that way.
I don't claim to be an ebay expert or anything, it's just an observation that i've noticed.
By the way, drop me an email if you are interested in any laptops that have been refurbished. I won't have a huge stock, I only buy and refurbish a few at a time and then quickly sell on.
Unitl next time.......

Outlook Express
I was in the docklands today, having been asked to deal with an outlook issue. The issue was relatively easy to repair, in fact, there was almost nothing to it.
Emails could be sent and received, yet outlook flagged up an error. The email that was sent remained in the outbox and did not drop into the sent emails folder, causing the email client to resend the mail later when 'send / received' mail was clicked.
I must admit, it took a little while before I realised what the issue was. Basically, the sent emails folder was full. Once some of the emails in the folder was transferred to other folders on outlook, the issue was resolved!
Now, suppose you have a full inbox? then you wouldn't be able to receive any emails until its cleared, flagging up an error. The same is true, as noted, with sent emails. If you have the outlook client installed and you use it for emails, make a point of keeping these two folders maintained, moving important mail to selected folders.
Email me if you would like more information on this.
until next time.
