The Truth


Perceptions and the Reality of Life

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

A few years ago, I experienced what I can only now best describe as a downward spiral in my life and everything (and I mean everything) was going wrong. People close to me were dying (and they did die), my work was not serving my clients’ real needs nor myself in terms of personal satisfaction, my financial outlook was dim, my relationships were almost non-existent (I was arguing with people most of the time and distancing people), and everything I tried to do went wrong and everything I had was going wrong or breaking down.

Being a logical thinker and solutions orientated, I tried to work out what was going wrong but the things that were going on in my life simply did not make any logical sense and when I pushed myself to find a solution or explanation for what was happening and how to resolve it, I couldn’t and kept finding myself at a virtual brick wall but I strongly believed that there was a truth to what was going on that I was not seeing.

How to Convert Audible .AA File Format to .MP3 Format.

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

I recently purchased Joe Vitale’s Attractor Factor (2nd Edition) from Audible.co.uk with the intention of using it on my Sony Walkman which plays MP3 files.

To download the audio I had to install Audible’s Download Manager and Media Manager which I found a bit strange as I thought MP3 audio files were MP3 audio files and could simply be downloaded and used as one desired.

After downloading the file I found that this was not the case. The download was one huge 92MB file with a .AA extension. Having worked in software development for over 25 years I was quite surprised to come across a file extension that I had not seen before. And before you ask, I did not get excited about it, just surprised.

Value Your Permanent Links (Web Page Addresses)

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

I recently changed the way that WordPress (which runs this blog) creates page names of all the pages that it generates.

The new page naming convention will be better for me in the long term as when I now update a Post and especially its date, only the year is used in the name.
