    So how many of you 'wing it' without using an accountant?

    I know when I was self employed it was 'cheaper' paying an accountant to maximise my savings than it was to try and do this on my own :-)

    can i track down the owner of a IP address?

    Why not get a programmer to write a javascript to sniff the IP and display a message to visitors from that IP? Give them a bit of a surprise! Again - if it's a shared IP then you might surprise the wrong people. Rob

    Property crash not even 3rd way done

    I think 99.9% of estate agents give the .1% a bad name ;-) They work for the SELLER not the buyer and operate accordingly - they are not a mutual interest transaction mediator! The seller of course wants a quick sale at the highest price and how do they know the buyers intentions? For all...

    can i track down the owner of a IP address?

    Default Will changing from .com to .uk domain cost me my PR and backlinks

    What currently happens to the .co.uk ? You say it's parked but do you use any sort of forwarding to the .com address? Rob

    Giving VOIP priority of our bandwidth???

    Keith, It may also be worth you checking with your broadband provider to see (if) what 'traffic shaping' policies they employ at different times of the day. It's pretty normal for them to throttle or unthrottle different services. Heres an example...

    help! re: drumming up work

    Fear of loss is one of the greatest motivators. Heres a trick I employed while getting a locksmith launched a few years back - and it worked so well I've tweaked it for a number of clients businesses since. You'll need to travel about for this one a little but it will get you more qualified...

    Forcing staff to buy your products

    well it's one way of getting sales up I suppose! As for the legal side, I can't see how they could force them to buy anything they weren't contracted to buy. Got a link to look at? Rob
