afinder — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:33:50 +0000

Calculating age in years from a date of birth is a pretty simple thing to do. Here is a function for you to do it.

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;
}

Horse Riding Holidays

afinder — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:59:07 +0000

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.

Windows 7 in Australia

afinder — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:15:26 +0000

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..?

Simple SEO Tips

Some may say – there is nothing simple about search engine optimisation. However, whether SEO is easy or not really depends on the particular website. In most cases SEO is not difficult as long as sufficient time and effort is invested into the project.
1. Create webpage titles related to targeted keywords.
2. Make your meta description unique for each webpage.
3. Use most important keywords in webpage name or URL.
4. Use cascading style sheets (CSS) rather then tables.
5. Add H1 tags preferably towards the top of each webpage.
6. Implement breadcrumbs functionality on your website.
7. Analyze your targeted keywords using Google suggest.
8. Implement the sitemap as text links.
9. Put CSS and JavaScript into external file.
10. Describe your images with the use of the alt tags.
11. Make sure your site logo alt tag contains your keywords.
12. Avoid automatic directory submission.
13. Find quality links to your website. Not easy.
14. Don’t use same anchor text in all your inbound links.
15. Use deep linking to many webpages on your website.

Google Chrome Leads the Way

afinder — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 22:40:44 +0000

Google Chrome is turning out to be a godsend. Currently, we’re finding it more stable than Firefox 3; less buggy than Safari for Windows; and simply nicer than IE7.

Thanks Google.
