Okay, so we know Google Translate has been around since mmmm forever, but sometimes you just want to transliterate – i.e a word directly without translation. Check out
http://www.google.com/ta3reeb/ or http://www.google.com/intl/ar/inputtools/try/
Both are Google driven and run English to Arabic direct transliteration – however you can do pretty much any language. Pretty cool huh.
Happy Transliterating.

Okay … now I was requested by my nephew to “chip” his PSP 3000. So I followed a beautifully documented guide from mark fixes stuff check his dummy guide Dummies Simple step-by-step Guide to installing PSP Custom Firmware CFW – www.markfixesstuff.co.uk. Very comprehensive indeed – all credits to him.
So these are the summary steps:
Note: This will work on ANY PSP.
Step 1 – updating to latest firmware – Skip to Step 2 if you already on 6.60:
Upgrade your PSP to version 6.60 by downloaded the firmware from Sony’s official site here or EBOOT.
Once downloaded, create a folder named “PSP”. Within the “PSP” folder, create a folder named “GAME”. Within the “GAME” folder, create a folder named “UPDATE”. (Folder names must be in all uppercase letters).

Step 2: – Installing GOD
Download file 6.60-God-VI-Updater and extract onto the memord card. Folders are already defined for you in the zip
Step 3: – Run
Run the GOD updater from GAME
Note: This is only for information purposes, I don’t encourage piracy – if you like the game buy it.

So I’m back in the South African job market and that means lots of people in the interviews asking “How much are you looking at?” or “What’s your CTC (Cost to Company)?” After extensive research I found Career Junction did an excellent summary – Review http://www.careerjunction.co.za/cji/exec-pdf/CJI_Executive_Summary.pdf.
Also check out their salary scales here or for IT here.
I also cross reference with www.payscale.com – for IT Business Analyst check out this
So that’s the market average value, go out and make it worth it …
All the best …

So, a client of yours says they like a site, and we should model something similar.
If the site is on WordPress I use http://www.wpthemedetector.com/ to extract the theme, and plugins running. This gives me a good idea of where to start.
Give it a try.
Happy theming …
