Shoeboxed, Box and DropBox
Thanks to John Byers from Byers Media http://www.byersmedia.com for the heads up on Shoeboxed. Shoeboxed http://www.shoeboxed.com/ It is similar to Expensify, which I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. It allows you to digitize and track your expenses. Like Expensify, there’s a free option and several tiered services. Other great tools: Box http://www.box.net/ Box lets … Continue reading
Google Places
OK a couple of weeks ago I mentioned QR codes with a promise to say more later – well it’s later. It’s a little later than intended but I got mixed up with a great vacation in the West of Ireland and a week back home for work. (For a great refresher or demonstration of … Continue reading
Magic Jack
First I know many of you will appreciate the humor in the fact that schools in Dublin have been closed today and tomorrow due to snow. Less than 2 inches of snow! Second since in Dublin I’ve been trying a new online phone service called Magic Jack: http://www.magicjack.com Magic Jack is a piece of equipment … Continue reading

Happy New Year! I wanted to start the year off with a Byte with the hope that it would keep me on tracking for weekly (not sporadic) updates for 2010. This site is a month too late for me (now that we’re in Dublin and our house is occupied in MN) but I thought it … Continue reading

I suspect that everyone is coming at it with very different levels of experience and expertise. Here is the presentation I’m going to use. I think I’ll also mention the Minnesota … Continue reading
Coax people to your site
Today someone asked me how to drive traffic to their site. I know I’ve written on this before but I thought that if I came up with a list of 7 things to do that Byte readers might find that to be interesting too. So here it is: 1. Give them a reason to visit … Continue reading
fax to email
OK I know I’ve been terrible with the timely bytes this summer – I’m going home on Thursday and that should help me get back on track. In the meantime… Someone asked me about email to fax and fax to email options last week. I haven’t tried any of these – and most of them … Continue reading
Skype forwarding
I know I’ve talked about Skype http://www.skype.com before. I’m not the biggest user at home – but I love it when I’m in Ireland. My new favorite thing is that I can forward my Skype phone number to a landline (or cell phone). So my Twin Cities number now rings through to the house where … Continue reading
