Learn Spanish Tarifa

This may be a shameless recommend but here goes.  If you are visiting Tarifa Spain and you fancy learning Spanish as an extra activity, please try Learn Spanish Tarifa .  They have private tutors who will meet you anywhere, e.g. in your home or in a bar or cafe.  It is much more fun than going to a stuffy classroom in a school and more time flexible.  They focus more on practical and conversational Spanish in a face to face environment.  They also provide document based homework exercises to practice key areas.  Ask for Sofia on 608725418 as she was the teacher I had.

Movistar promotion song

Had a song stuck in my head but I couldn't find it.  Heard it in the Movistar store on their TV promotional display.   It also plays on the Movistar TV box promotion channel. Eventually heard it and it was Burn it down by Linkin Park.  The bit they sampled was only the introduction of the song but I am glad I now know what it is!  Linkin Park - BURN IT DOWN (Official Music Video)

Camel feet

Went on a kitesurfing downwinder in Morocco with this company. It was great, got picked up in 4x4 and did really hardcore off road stuff. They provided all the food and drink and accommodation. Kitesurfing equipment was provided and they followed us down the coast of Morocco while we were sailing. The price was great considering how well they looked after us. Pete is a great bloke too, funny and always a good laugh. 10/10!

Are humans getting dumber??

so i used to be able to access my internet banking on the move from any computer terminal in the world using just my memory to remember my password. now i have received my wonderful "secure key" from hsbc. this handy little device means that i will no longer be free to access my bank account any time i want but only when i remember to have the device with me. but hey...i can hang it on my car keys! so handy, i can't imagine it getting scratched or broken hanging on my key chain. sorry for the sarcasm but why would i need to carry a little computer around when i have a big one inside my head? and what if i need a secure key for every website i frequent? what about one for my email account?

Tarifa land rover

The Tarifa Landy Club is going great. Antonio is fixing more Land rovers due to word of mouth, and helping me get my Discovery 300tdi in shape. We put on some dislocation cones and a new bumper the other day. I am going to order some cranked trailing arms and a new master cylinder next. John is back from England with his newly modded Defender. Pete has bought some land rovers for Morocco overlanding which are in the shop. Meeting new people all the time and realising how many 4x4 trucks there are around here.

Conveyancing case management

Since statustrax closed down we have started using conveyancing case tracker. it seems much more comprehensive and easier to use. It also seems to do a lot more, like accounts and stuff. So hopefully we can save money on some of the other software we currently use

Statustrax replacement

Aparantly Statustrax, who provide online conveyancing case management software, are closing down at the end of 2010. An alternative solution for an online case tracker can be found at Conveyancing case tracker (CCT). We are still waiting to see if CCT can import data from Statustrax to make it easier for customers to switch. Statustrax have offered to provide customer data in MS SQL format.
