Port Forwarding is really useful for home users. I wanted ports forwarded through my router to improve my utorrent/p2p connection and allow remote desktop sessions from locations outside my LAN (ie anywhere on the internet).

I had been struggling to set up my router; I had found useful information on portforward.com and was considering using the PFconfig application which they sell for $29.95, however I had read several reviews and although the software seems OK the backup support (for if the software cannot solve your problem) was reviewed as poor.

From a comment I read on a review I found a link to PCWinTech who offer a free tool which does basically the same as PFconfig. I downloaded the tool and followed the steps and still no forwarded ports

I noticed that the forums were active, and that Shane (the forum admin) was offering one-on-one help for free. I dropped a note in the forum, and the very same day Shane contacted me to help fix the problem. We spoke first on the forum, and then by MSN. Shane directed me to download teamviewer and took control of my computer whilst I watched. Shane logged in to the router and located the problem; the router firewall was blocking traffic from the internet to my LAN.

Shane asked for nothing in return for his help; I would like to say a big thanks to him, and to his wife who wanted him to go to bed as it was 11pm!

Mostly In life I’ve been lucky enough to be in one of two situations:

• Plenty of time but no money
• Plenty of money but no time

I’ve recently realised that building a house and getting married means I have no time and no money hence I’ve got to sell some stuff. Many of you Reading this will know me and know some of the stuff I’ve got (online and off). Feel free to make me an offer if it’s something you like.

One thing I have more of than I will ever have time to develop is domains and websites. I’m a bit of web kleptomaniac… buying websites and domains is so much more fun than selling them. As I’m working offline these days I don’t have time to do any development (I struggle to keep up with maintenance) so watch out and grab yourself a bargain.

I’m going to start small and sell some of my low value stuff. As there is a lack of a decent web marketplace I will be selling the really cheap stuff on digitalpoint (no cost, but probably loads of hassle) and other stuff on sitepoint/flippa (expensive fees, especially as they offer nearly no service).

I figure I will probably list stuff here on my blog for a couple of days before posting on the marketplace to give people I know chance to snipe stuff.

Ok, so I’m sat in the airport bored waiting for a connection and I notice Google once again spreading FUD. Encouraging average web users to label legitimate email that they have requested but no longer want to receive as spam is totally irresponsible. Way to go Brad Taylor ‘Gmail Spam Czar’ – you should be ashamed.

EDIT: Wow… over a year since I last posted.

Awful lot of people finding this site by searching for Glastonburrows, the charity music festival held in Leyland. I attended in 2006; I’m still waiting for my teeshirt that I paid for! Hippy has probably been wearing it for the last two years…

About time you lot registered the glastonburrows domain too, someone will sooner or later. Hope the weather was good for this years festival and everyone had as much fun as I remember having back in ‘06.
