Computers are in our homes, at our work, whether they are used as a necessity or for entertainment they are simply everywhere. This is not a bad thing but consistent use of a computer can come with undesired side effects, namely eye strain. I know only too well the pain that can be encountered when your eyes simply need a rest from the strains of looking at a monitor for hours and hours everyday. The eye is like a muscle and like any other type of muscle in the body it needs resting, also when you stare at your monitor you blink less often which can contribute to eye strain..... read more

One day I decided I wanted to learn to play the piano so I went out and bought a midi keyboard (a M-Audio Keystation 49e), a handful of piano for beginners books and a sustain pedal. A year on and I can proudly say I can't play a thing, the reason being that learning to play the piano (for me anyway) is in reality very boring and time consuming.

We at My Marketing Assistant LOVE our crisps, a few of our favourites are Pickled Onion Monster Munch, Smoked Ham and Pickle Brannigans, Prawn Cocktail, basically anything other than Ready Salted. Sitting at the top of this very large list of favourites would be Worcester Sauce Tangy Twiglets, they're not only healthier as they have been baked rather than fried, but each little twiglet stick would create a zesty explosion in your mouth.

Unfortunately, due to unpopularity and failing sales, Jacobs decided to discontinue this flavour of Marmite, in a word... gutted!.... read more

I've been using Dreamweaver for many years now and it's always been my favourite web development application, never have I felt the need to change over to one of the many other WYSIWYG editors out there. I believe this is due in part to the fact I have never had a problem using it... until today..... read more
