So, the pigs have finally risen against their human oppressors and have fought back with the thing that humans fear the most.

The sniffles.

Whilst you have all been enjoying your bacon sandwiches and ham and cheese pasties, the pinky, muddy animals have been plotting to infect us all with a cold so bad that even doctors will have to stay in bed!

In the event of an all out Swine Flu Pandemic, I present the definative Survival Kit to help protect your family from the evil green bogies and head colds that threaten our civilisation.

1. Face Masks
The surgical face mask has already become a best seller on all of the Amazon stores all over the world – just see for yourself! This leads me to believe that people think that a simple piece of cloth that slowly cuts off circulation to your ears and actually causes more warm condensation around your mouth and nose and increases risk of infection is going to save us all. If you don’t have a spar scarf around the house to tie round your face like a football hooligan – get a box of face masks.

60 pcs Disposable ear-loop surgical,FLU,face mask. $10.72

2000 Pcs Medical Ear-loop Respirator Face Surgical Mask $199.00

2. Nasal Spray
Nothing stops the world better than the onset of a massive sinus headache that threatens to prevent you from leaning over to put your socks on. The parachuting of Nasal Sprays by army helicopters will keep the pounding ache at bay – at least until you can get to the shops for some Obais Oil or to the Sauna.

AFRIN PUMP MIST- ORIGINAL NASAL SPRAY 1/2 OZ.-2 PCS NEW $7.99

500mg NASAL EASE NATURAL ALLERGY POWDER SPRAY 200 DOSES $14.99

3. Chicken Soup
Nothing prevents the onset of flu and cold better than mums chicken soup. This is certainly the reason why the human race was never wiped out before by diseases like the black death and the plague. Tuck yourself up with a nice bowl of soup, put on that DVD of Mama Mia you were bought for christmas and sweat it out!

4. Body Bags
There may come a time where a loved one, lodger, neighbour or wife might have been overcome by the Swine Flu and you will need to get rid of them before they either turn into a Zombie or start to smell like the bottom shelf of the fridge. You will most likely be required to bag up the body, drag it into the street and wait for someone from Freecycle to come and collect them – to resell on eBay (like all Freecycle people do).

5. Antiseptic Spray
Before bed, after brushing your teeth, you will be required to go through the intimate cavity spraying of a cleansing spray. This spray will burn skin, but will also prevent germs from spreading across the “invisible line” in the bed you share with your partner – and it will also do a great job on getting rid of any limescale in your bathroom at the same time.

6. Ear Thermometer
“Hello? Battersea Dogs Home” or “nanoo-nanoo” are both some of the pranks you can play whilst jamming a very uncomfortable ear thermometer in… your ear! I think they actually read the status of your brain and transmit it to the alien mothership – but that’s just my weird opinion!

Yet again my kids have moved onto something new.

They have ditched the Bakugan and Gormiti Series 2 characters and have now gone on to the new Chaotic Trading Card Game.

The game is actually quite clever and is sure to be a hit with older kids.

The idea is that you buy some cards to play the game “offline” but you can also play on the internet with cards too. Each card has it’s own unique code printed on the bottom – all of which are unique. When you enter the code into your account on the Chaotic Game Com website, it adds that creature, power, ability or attribute to your “army”. You can then use those creatures to battle online against others round the world.

The actual mechanics of the game are complicated, with various attack positions, magic cards, abilities and field cards that give a player extra attack bonuses or advantages.

There is also a cartoon that is on one of the satellite channels. The actual animation and design of the cartoon is rubbish though – compared to the Pokemon cartoon or the Bakugan cartoon. Shame.

I think that playing the game on the internet will be the best place to start if you are interested in getting some cards. It is quite nice to know that the small investment into the cards will allow my kids to play when ever they want. The massive pile of Yu-Gi-Oh cards they have between them never got used in a real battle.

Chaotic Cards are available in the shops now!

Well,

It seem that even though Nintendo has managed to block the majority of the flashcarts or homebrew devices in their new version of the amazingly popular Nintendo DS device, called the Nintendo DSi – there are already some flash card devices out there that will work on this new model.

I think Nintendo may be going the “way of the wii” or PSP where firmware updates may be forced on people to allow them to play the latest games – but will also update the firmware to the latest version with more patching against the software pirates and DS homebrew community.  Cards like the M4 which are so popular that Nintendo had to get legal rulings to shut down their production in Japan and China are used, in conjunction with a MicroSD card to download ROM images of the games off of the internet and then played on the Nintendo DS.

At the moment, the only card that can do this on the new DSi model is the Acekard 2i.

You download the ROM images, drop them onto the memory card, put it in the DSi and play the games!  Wifi gaming is supported, as is game saving and built in cheat file support.  It remains to be seen how the new set of games for the DSi will work with this new device.  There have been no games so far that allow for usage of the new front facing or rear facing camera on the DSi.

I am pretty sure the only place you will be able to get one of these Acekard 2i things is on eBay.  Let me know how you get on!

What is GEOBans?

GEOBans is a mod for the popular Build A Niche Store software that allows you to create unlimited web based stores that show eBay auctions to your visitors.  When your visitor clicks through to eBay and buys something – eBay pays you a fraction of the profit they get from the sale of the item.

Out of the box, Build A Niche Store allows you to only target the auctions from one eBay store at a time and you must choose if you are targetting eBay.co.uk or eBay.com when you install the software.  The only downside to this is when a UK shopper visits your US auction site.  Will they want to click through?  Probably not.

GEOBans overcomes this limitation by getting the details of the visitors IP address and determining which country they are from before showing them auctions relevant to their location.  So US shoppers see items from eBay.com and UK visitors see items from eBay.co.uk!

It could not be simpler!

GEOBans is easy to install and apply and only costs $20!

Note: You must already own the Build A Niche Store software to use the GEOBans mod. Buy Build A Niche Store.

See the documentation on how GEOBans works and how it is implemented here before you buy:

http://www.megatao.com/GEOBans Mod ReadMe.pdf

Using GEOBans on my 6 Build A Niche Store sites has allowed me to triple my eBay partner network income with only 5 minutes work per store!  What will it do for you?

I have had quite a few hits on my previous post about Bakugan Battle Brawlers, the latest craze to cross from Japan and make the playground buzz and my wallet empty.

If you are starting to play Bakugan, the best option will be to get hold of a Bakugan Starter Pack. This pack contains:

6 Bakugan
6 Metal gate cards
6 Ability cards

This is enough for you and a friend to start your own battles and learn he rules of Bakugan Brawling.

My kids are totally obsessed by this game at the moment and one of them even managed to get himself a White Pyrus Dragonoid, which we have never seen before! We are now working on swapping the doubles they have with their friends to make a complete set.

New Bakugan

With the new series of the cartoon due out at any moment, there will then be a new series of Bakugan to buy, swap and own. Where will it end?

Bakugan Brawler

My kids have plenty of toys to play with – actually, probably too many.

After the Pokemon Cards, Match Attax football cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Gormiti series 1 and Gormiti series 2 have all passed the playground craze stage, they are quickly onto the next thing.  This of course leaves a mighty pile of these items in bedroom drawers, cupboards and boxes.  It drives me mad.

The latest craze they have been obsessing about is Bakugan Brawlers.

For those out of the loop, Bakugan are small plastic sphere shaped creatures who, when rolled onto a “Bakugan metal gate card“, pop up to reveal their full form and do battle with the opponents Bakugan.  This is a game played with a few opponents who each have their own Bakugan, each trying to capture the gate cards in the middle of the arena and become the winner.

The Bakugan can also be different strengths and have ability cards too which are played to make the creature stronger, or cause your opponent some hardship during the game.

This new game, which is still in it’s infancy in the UK has the usual “must have” factors that kids love.

• Collectible cards.
• Different creatures with their own names and abilities.
• Creatures that belong to different “elements” or “types”.
• A cartoon featuring children playing the game and battling with their Bakugan.

The creator of Bakugan has hit on another great craze which the kids love!

eBay Geotargetted link script

As an eBay affiliate, one thing that always annoyed me with making links to eBay on my blog or website was the fact that they were links to items or search results for only 1 country. Making links to eBay UK and eBay US on the same page is timc consuming and just a hassle.

So thats why I made the eBay Geotargetted link script!

What with the eBay script do for me?

The script allows you to link direct to the eBay search results for a product using a common URL standard – but it will also detect the location of your visitor based on their IP address and then send them to their nearest eBay store!

This means that US visitors get to view products on eBay US (www.ebay.com) and UK visitors get to see items from eBay UK (www.ebay.co.uk). The same goes for other visitors from different countries.

You get to post 1 link to eBay which contains your eBay Partner Network campaign ID and the script does the rest!

Your eBay cookie gets dropped for the right country and will send your eBay Partner Network profits soaring!

Examples:

When you buy the script, it comes as a file called go.php so to activate the links, you FTP the file to the relevant place on your domain and then from your blog or website, link using the following URLs:

http://www.yourdomain.com/go.php?xbox+360+GTA4

The xbox+360+GTA4 part is the product you are searching for. Just change it to what you want to search for, separated by + and the script will do the rest.

The link will send the user to their nearest eBay store and show them a search result for “xbox 360 GTA4″.

Custom CustomID field

The eBay partner network has a method of allowing you to track where your customers come from by using a field called CustomID. By default, the eBay Geotargetted Link Script takes the URL of the page that the link was clicked on, takes out the messy HTML code and tags and inserts that as the CustomID – up to a maximum of 256 characters.

If you want to use your own CustomID field instead of the referring URL, you can manually enter that information into the go.php file too.

Extending the script further

If you are comfortable with editing your .htaccess file on your hosting provider, you can add this line to further extend the capability of this script:

RewriteRule ^go/([^/]+)?$         go.php?$1 [QSA,L]

This means that any requests to http://www.yourdomain.com/go will be sent to the go.php file, along with the search parameters too. Heres the same Xbox 360 example we used earlier, but with the .htaccess method turned on:

http://www.mydomain.com/go/xbox+360+GTA4

My script even recognizes the need for SEO friendly URLs, so the following link will work too:

http://www.mydomain.com/go/xbox-360-GTA4

You can also rename the go.php to what ever you want! Make the relevant name changes to the line in the .htaccess too (if you want to use that method) and the go.php script becomes something more powerful and unique to your site:

http://www.mydomain.com/shop/xbox-360-GTA4

(file renamed to shop.php and .htaccess method with friendly URLs)

http://www.mydomain.com/recommends.php?xbox+360+GTA4

(file renamed to recommends.php and not using the .htaccess method)

http://www.mydomain.com/link/xbox+360+GTA4

(file renamed to link.php and using the .htaccess method)

For these examples, we would need to change the .htaccess as follows:

RewriteRule ^shop/([^/]+)?$         shop.php?$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^link/([^/]+)?$         link.php?$1 [QSA,L]

Installation

1. You will need a host that supports PHP and you will also need FTP access to your domain to upload the file.

2. Purchase the eBay Geotargetted Link Script

3. Unzip and upload the 3 files via FTP to the root of your domain or blog:

go.php
geoip.inc
GeoIP.dat

4. Open the go.php file in a text editor and enter your 10 digit eBay Partner Network campaign ID into the line as follows:

$campid = "1234567890";

5. If you want to add your own customID, enter it between the quotes in the line as follows:

$customid = "";

See above for more information on the CustomID field and its usage.

6. Save the file – and start linking!

This script works great with the Wordpress aLinks plugin by the way! (The aLinks plugin developers site is down at the moment, but you can grab the plugin here).

Testing

The eBay Geotargetted link script also allows you to perform testing and debugging too so you can make sure that it is going to do what you want.

To enable this, edit the go.php file and change the line as follows from a 0 to a 1:

$debug = 0;

Save the file and test a link and you will be shown a page similar to the following, showing debug information:

eBay Linking Script

You are from GB - Therefore I am sending to you eBay GB

And am using this link: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=1234567890
&toolid=10001&customid=xbox-360-page&ext=xbox+360+gtaIV&satitle=xbox+360+gtaIV

Multiple Scripts

You can also run multiple scripts on your site if you need to use more than one eBay Partner Network campaign ID.

Just save the file as something else and change the script accordingly.

This would be a good way to perform “split testing” or have a site where more than one author could link to eBay using their own Campaign ID.

BUY!

This script is available to buy for the amazing price of only $9.99!

I liked X-Files, I like LOST and Heroes – but Fringe just does not float my boat.

Here I can tell you how to write your own episode of Fringe by combining several of the key elements in each episode together to create your own amazing masterpiece:

Opening credits:
Think of something weird that can happen.  Ensure that someone dies (you will need them later so they can be communicated with).  Perhaps consider that the death may be caused by someone else who then disappears.

Preamble:

Either:

a: Cut to Dr Walter Bishop and Peter Bishop having a discussion about something unrelated to the plot.  Insert some surreal random humorous comment from Walter and perhaps throw in a line or 2 about Peters childhood.  They get a call from Dunham about a new “odd death” that they can help with and run out the door to help.

Walter: “When you were a boy, you used to read stories about windmills…”
Peter: “Yeah. I remember”.
Walter: “Windmills… They remind me of a project I once ran in my lab to do with making an alternative power supply for the military from Bananas”
Peter: “Bananas!?!?”.
Walter: “Oh yes Peter.  Surely even you can see the similarity between the Windmill and the plight of the Banana growers of Africa.  It reminds me of a project I once did in my lab….potassium!  Aha!”

or

b: Show FBI agent Olivia Dunham (in bed alone looking sad and tired) getting a call in the early hours of the morning from Broyles to attend the “strange death scene”.  She also picks up Walter and Peter on the way.  Add some comedy lines as Walter cannot sleep and is annoying Peter etc..

Dunham: “No.. I wasn’t sleeping….  Ok I’ll be right there.”
Walter: “Can we stop for some Bananas?”

Plot:

1. Walter takes the dead body back to his “lab” and calls his assistant by the wrong name (again).
2. Cut to Broyles talking to Dunham about the Pattern and how they have seen this type of unusual death before in 12 other locations around the world – but have come up with no leads and no way of telling how it happened.  They had their best FBI scientists on the case and found nothing.
3. Walter examines the body and makes a correct diagnosis and cause of death within 2 minutes.
4. Walter reveals he has “worked on this project before or something like it” when he was younger (possibly with a colleague who has now “gone bad”) and needs to find his old case notes.
5. Case notes are found and Peter and Walter find the name of the person who is causing the deaths.  Dunham contacts her mate, Charlie, at the FBI who turns up information within 2 minutes that they have previously not been able to find, no matter how hard they tried.
6. Dunham grabs coat and runs out of Bishops Lab and goes after the bad guy.

Conclusion:
Dunham finds the bad guy (possibly add Peter into the chase scene).

Either:

a: The bad guy gets killed and can tell them nothing.

or

b: Walter gets to communicate with the dead through the use of some garden wire, a car battery and some bulldog clips on Peters nipples to get the information they need.

Finish with Dunham and Broyles having a conversation in the FBI office.

Dunham: “So you think this has something to do with The Pattern?”
Broyles: “I don’t know.  Here.  Let me show you this file we found on the body of the person that died in that accident at the beginning of the show.  It links pieces of equipment used to cause that accident to a top secret project run by Massive Dynamic.”

Then you can segway the whole plot into something created or managed/designed/owned by Massive Dynamic.  Perhaps finish with sexy office vixen Nina Sharp at Massive Dynamic discussing Agent Dunham’s “progress” with an unknown other to tie the whole series together.

Nina: “She is showing quite a lot of progress.  Is it time to bring her in to the company?”
Other: “No.  Not yet.  She is only just at the tip of the iceberg.  She doesn’t need to know more yet…”
Nina: “Can we stop for a Banana?…”

Sub Plots to include:

• Something to do with the piano that is in Walter Bishops lab.
• Include a reference to the mental hospital Bishop was in.
• Include at least one line from the Cow that Bishop keeps in the lab.

And that concludes my How to write a Fringe episode tutorial!
