http://soho-life.com/blog It's all about business in the Small Office Home Office and a bit of blogging on the side Sun, 21 Feb 2010 23:13:07 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Put it this way. If the phone was ringing would you let it just ring out, thinking you’ll answer it tomorrow? Email is another form of communication but unlike the phone can’t make the urgent sound that demands you answer it immediately.  So it amazes me how many business people (including ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2010/02/22/if-the-phone-was-ringing/ This is a laugh! Just got this email with an attachment which no doubt has some script installed in it.  What makes it so funny?  Well, apart from the obvious things like not addressing it personally to me (I don't even have a NAB account), spelling errors, etc, it talks about ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2010/01/21/nab-phishing-alert/ Thank you to all the readers this year who have helped make this blog worth writing.  I know my posts have been less than in past years but I expect if you know what's taken place in my life you'll know that's not unexpected. I'm hoping to pick things up ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/12/08/and-now-for-something-special/ Then this useful tool might just help sway your thoughts to what you should and shouldn't be participating in.  I thought it very interesting to watch and it will probably open a few minds and eyes. http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/12/03/in-a-social-media-tug-of-war/ I've just had a liberating moment - well, more than a moment, quite a few minutes really. But I feel like I've just freed up some of my time and will most likely fill it with something else. What am I talking about?  My Google Reader. It had become too full ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/11/26/when-something-needs-to-give/ My husband and I have recently shifted to the country from suburban life.  It's still a suburb of Melbourne but an outer suburb amongst the hills and bushland. It's beautiful and we look forward to many years here as we head towards retirement and grand-parenthood. While I do run a virtual ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/11/11/keeping-it-local/ I noticed in my spam filter two messages that are supposed to be from the Australian Tax Office telling me about a Tax Refund. I don't believe for a moment that they would contact me that way - I still get mail direct from them or via my Accountant, however ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/09/30/beware-the-tax-office-scam/ I forgot to check the amount of webspace available for a multi-user blog before upgrading it and the thing has crashed.  I had to backtrack to find out what I did when a similar incident happened earlier in the year.  And then I remembered.  I had to get it restored ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/09/06/doh-did-it-again/ You are viewing a blog - a series of articles or posts that make up the blog.  This particular piece you are reading is a post or blogpost. One of my pet peeves, although only little, is people who ask about writing blogs when they actually mean posts or articles. It's just ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/08/12/blog-or-post/ I received two of these letters this past week and was shocked to receive bills I wasn't expecting. They were for my trademarks and I couldn't recall having to pay bills of that size before. It worried me and was unplanned/unexpected. Needless to say, research online shows that there are warnings ... http://soho-life.com/blog/2009/08/04/beware-the-trademark-scam/
