Effective learning and improving memory and study skills

At the moment I am interested in improving my learning ability, there are lots of tips and tricks around, but what I would like to discover is a systematic and scientific approach. I'm sure there has been lots of work done towards this, but at the moment it is not very easy to find or access. The other question is how to measure if any particular approach is effective. Research around brain game type training systems is still quite sketchy.

What can Jesus teach us today?

Are you good at something? Maybe you have mechanical aptitude, are good with numbers, or music, writing, talking, business, sport, art, problem solving or something else? These are all gifts from God. I'm taking the position here that this is self evident. If you are having trouble believing that God exists, then there might be other things you need to look into first, but perhaps as you learn more about Jesus teaching and how you can learn to be a better person (not just a better person but the best person you can be), you might acknowledge the divine wisdom his teaching contains.

Using GeoIP with Magento and Multiple Sites

The GeoIP database and API from MaxMind provide an easy way to determine country and region from an IP address. This can be used on a website to determine which country a site visitor is from, to provide them with a tailored experience, or to direct them to an alternative website.

Combined with Magento's multi-store capabilities, this can be used to provide the most suitable currency, language and product selection automatically.

Scarborough Walk for Water 2010

What could be more basic for human existence than food and shelter? Clean safe drinking water! Unfortunately 884 million people around the world don’t have access to clean drinking water.

When I was confronted with this issue I decided to do something about it, that's why I'm organising the Scarborough Walk for Water.

Please support our Walk for Water either by donating, or by joining in and getting others to sponsor you.

Update: (Nov 2010)

Thank to those who took part and those who sponsored. We raised about £3000 (short of the £4000 target, but not a disappointing result).

Peter James Jazz

It has been my pleasure to develop the website for pianist and composer Peter James. If you have heard his music you will agree that he is an extremely talented musician.

The website was actually launched a few months ago, but I have just got around to adding it to my portfolio. The website is built using the Drupal content management system with the Ubercart additions for e-commerce functionality.
