Spice up your Web Building

Advantages: Easy to use, useful for both beginners and experts.
Disadvantages: None

...Having owned my own web page for around 18 months, and it being totally built on the much-maligned “Microsoft FrontPage”, I thought I’d give another program a go. So upon searching through my computer magazine disks, I came across a Trial version of a nifty little web editor called “Namo Web Editor 4” on a disk from Internet Advisor (May issue, if anyone’s interested) and my first thought of it are, it looks a very decent editor, with lots of useful tools and options. I’m by no means a expert on web editing software, although I do have a reasonable knowledge on building web pages, and as I said I am so used to using “Microsoft FrontPage” so using this was program was a bit confusing at first, but I’m getting there. The program is very adaptable, by this I mean not only...

Review of VERITAS Storage Foundation For Windows Server Standard/Web Edition 4.0 Licence

WEBS (2003)

Advantages: Some good actors and some decent kicking actions.
Disadvantages: The list goes on - Story line, Monsters, Consistency, Logic.....

...said some meaningful thoughts (cheesy as heck though); which was along the line of 'Just imagine all the history that has gone on in this building, and it is all going to be destroyed'. I should just gave up on the film at that point but I was hoping this B-movie can prove why it still exist on the shelves. They discovered a bolted door and curiosity has got the better of them, as they managed to open it. The room was fill with electrical machines, and being nosy electricians meant they have to fidget buttons. Fidgeting buttons lead them to open a portal to the parallel universe (Ooohhh). Arguments and boisterous pushing and shoving caused Dean and Jones to fall into the portal, to a nice modernised Chicago?.with webs! It is night-time in the New Chicago, without anyone in sight. The fact that it is so clean with webs would make...

Review of Charlotte's Web (DVD)

A tangled web!

Advantages: great read, good suspense
Disadvantages: none

...I have been reading books by the author Joy Fielding for as long as I can remember. Her books can best be described as psychological thrillers and in most cases I have been on the edge of my seat from the moments I have picked the books up. 'Charley's Web' had a slightly different feel to it though and although I enjoyed the book very much I did not really experience the usual tension until towards the very end. The book is about a character called Charley Webb who is a somewhat provocative journalist for a Florida newspaper. She writes a weekly column that often provokes and shocks her readers which consequently leads to a lot of interesting emails and letters. Most are complaints but alongside all her regular post, she receives a letter from Jill Rohmer, a convicted child killer awaiting execution on Death Row. She wants Charley to...

Review of Charley's Web - Joy Fielding

A web of friendship and love

Advantages: An endearing, wonderful film with a great message
Disadvantages: It made me cry :-(

...I love animals; I carried out my year 10 work experience in a veterinary surgery, but decided it wasn't for me when the staff tried to comfort me after a puppy died...I cried for over an hour. I am one of those weird people who would much rather give my money to an animal charity than a human charity. I trust animals more than I trust more humans. I know that they will not tell my secrets to others, tell me I am getting fat or that I can't do this or that properly. In a way I could be compared a lot to Fern in the film. When I saw this film advertised in the cinema I knew it was going to be a sad one. As a child at school we did a project on E.B White's book, Charlotte's Web. We made clay animals and the teacher read a chapter each day. As a child it was one of my favourite books and I was shocked and disappointed when my partner...

Review of Charlotte's Web (DVD)

For all web users

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...For anyone using the net this will be a very helpful and interesting read. Very simply written, no complicated computer language so it’s easy to understand, so much so that my Mum could even understand it. The magazine is designed into very simple categories all which are useful. For example, the ‘Workshop’ section contains pages on how to build a web page, it explores ISP’s, even explains what ‘History’ means and helps you organise your favourites and other folders and generally get the most out of your computer. I did find the page on uploading and downloading files very helpful. I love the Readers and Hints pages..why because ordinary people write in with some simple or complicated problems and they are given advice. The good thing is that they are often common problems and tips are...

The Wonderful World of Websites

Advantages: Useful web sites
Disadvantages: may be boring

...I keep reading about people's favourite websites and that made me think which my favourites are. Getting it down to 10 may be difficult, so in no particular order here goes! 1. www.dooyoo.co.uk I joined 3½ years ago and admit I write in fits and starts, now I am retired I do have more time to write and more time to holiday, which is one of my favourite sections to write on. I have always exchanged my points for Amazon vouchers but decided to try for cash this time. I think the payment is very good at present, much better than rival Ciao, but this seems to have encouraged churners which is disappointing. I think there should be a limit on the number of reviews per day. 2. www.ciao.co.uk I joined ciao as my younger daughter suggested it was a way to make money! That was back in 2003, I don't know how much money I have made, but...

Get Web Wise

Advantages: Lots of helpful information relating to the internet
Disadvantages: none

...This magazine describes itself as the no-nonsense guide to the best of the net, and at the current price of 99p I decided to go for it. After reading through it I am a little wiser about some of the mysteries of web site building, WAP, the best way to send e-mail attachments and quite a lot more. It seems to be aimed at those of us with some knowledge of web use, but not enough to be totally self reliant when it comes down to technical information, and I count myself as just such a person. There are reader’s hints and tips page, a letters page where the star letter writer gets £25, and a section which will be of interest to many which gives the latest news and reviews of Online Games! Inside you will find the results of an online shopping test, where ten of the best-known retailers in the High Street were put to the test...
