Bamboo floors are environmentally sustainable being harvested from controlled bamboo forests which take one tenth of the time to grow as traditional hardwoods. Make sure you ask whether the flooring you’re about to buy is manufactured using non-toxic glues and water based coatings in a waste free environment. Some cheap products use cheap manufacturing which inevitably involves cutting corners and using toxic chemicals.

public int CalculateAge(DateTime birthDate)
{
// cache the current time
DateTime now = DateTime.Today; // today is fine, don’t need the timestamp from now
// get the difference in years
int years = now.Year – birthDate.Year;
// subtract another year if we’re before the
// birth day in the current year
if (now.Month < birthDate.Month || (now.Month == birthDate.Month && now.Day < birthDate.Day))
–years;
return years;
}
We often work on websites where a client’s product will get us thinking that we’d like some of that.
One such recent website has been Globetrotting. They offer horse riding holidays around the world. Now, I’m not a horsey person but some of the photos on the website are just awesome. Go visit the site and have a look for yourselves. Each location page has a different slideshow to help you pick the location that you like the look of best.
Do yourself a favour and DO NOT install Windows 7 if your broadband provider is Bigpond (Telstra).
Currently, a lot of the Telstra modems do not have compatible Windows 7 drivers. Sure, there are workarounds for people with a bit of technical knowledge but for the average Joe it’s not a good idea. Also, it would be nice for places like Harvey Norman to tell people who are buying new computers about the problem. What could be worse for the man off the street than buying a new laptop for his kid as a Christmas present only to find out that it doesn’t work on Christmas Day..?
