Last night I watched an interesting program on Bank Cards by Hannah Fry as part of her Science series called 'The Secret Genius of Modern Life'. I see there is even an episode called 'Electric Car' which might be extremely interesting for technology enthusiasts like myself.

Calendar for May 2023

Created a quick video on some of my tools I am using in 2023 for WordPress Website Development. This year is the year of Blocks, so hoping to learn more about converting clients to the new Block Themes.

Here is my video:

This looks like a great support tool for those who care about their parents or grandparents and need some alternative way of monitoring or keeping a track of them. Was recommended by a friend this morning:

INT'L Homepage - Life360 Life360 is on a mission to bring families closer with comprehensive safety and coordination features for life at home and on the go — all in one place.

If your business is using Pastel, which most South African businesses do, then there is a great backup cloud solution which you may or may not know about, it is called IronTree: https://www.irontree.co.za/

What is nice is that there newer package allows for 100gb of data to be backed up to the cloud. I recommend this for any small to medium size business that has certain files or folders they are extremely worried about loosing in the case of a hardware failure, theft of an entire computer / laptop.

At the end of the day, it is your choice, however I think the pricing for this and the options they offer are very reasonable for any entrepreneur / small business / medium business.

Data management and Business Continuity solutions - IronTree With IronTree’s cloud backup and business continuity services you can be confident that your data and systems are always safe.

I am using Affinitiy Designer 2.0, was trying out my luck with converting a photo into one of those colouring in images, this is the result of me converting an image of our cat into a colouring in image.

Using this photo, I was able to ask Midjourney (https://www.midjourney.com/) to create me a 3D cartoon character and so this is what they managed to produce from it. AI is alive and seems like it is going to be full steam ahead in 2023.

I have always known that users who have purchased Microsoft Office 2016 or later from Makro, Incredible Connection or any other reputable company - usually had to download their Office product from the internet. What is interesting is that anyone with a valid Microsoft Office 2016 product key and DVD-ROM, could go here and get a downloaded copy as well: https://setup.office.com/downloadoffice/

They do require you to enter a valid product key. Thought I should share this info with you in case you ever find yourself in a situation where you would like to use this Office product on a newer laptop that does not have a CD/DVD-ROM.

Setup Office or Microsoft 365 Sign in with your Microsoft account and enter your product key to get started. For help, go to office.com/support

To all my clients who have ever had a Telkom email account, please remember that when you cancel your Telkom ADSL, the Telkom people usually cancel the Telkom email account as well. I have had four clients who have experienced this within the past year. Rather either setup your own domain or else get a Gmail account as soon as possible and notify your clients of the change of email address.
