I am a tech geek, I guess, and I love gadgets. Actually, I love free stuff and everything which has something to do with the internet and communication. No wonder I got hooked on voice over IP because this brings all of this together.

Dear Skype,

a while ago I wrote a blog post titled Skype not working on windows 7 64 bit. Since then 3 comments have stated the same problem – and I have still found no answer to the problem. In addition to that I would like to show you some related search terms from last month that complete the picture. I have removed the search terms that relate to Skype in a different sense (than: “It’s broken!”).

Please Skype. Fix Skype for Windows 7 64 bit!

Videos are amazing.

In fact with all the digital communication channels, I believe that video is the most satisfying, because it comes as close to real human interaction as possible, being apart. In my business and personal communication I totally rely on Skype Video chat.

Update: Prezi now had a iPad App

The iPad got one problem: It can’t “do” flash.

Not anymore (okay it’s not perfect, but it works!!)…

Alright…just do the following:

1. get an iPad (yeah!)
2. install the teamviewer app (http://www.teamviewer.com/download/iphone.aspx)
3. install the teamviewer programm on your computer (http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx)
4. start the programm on your computer
5. log in with your iPad
6. Enjoy Prezi on your iPad

Okay…let’s be honest – no moving stuff, nothing fancy – BUT IT WORKS!

I recently got an iPhone. I’m very, very happy to have an iPhone, and I am already seeing how this is changing the way I consume information.

That’s really!! easy:

Just use that code:

<code>
<script src=”http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js”></script> <script type=”text/javascript”>// <![CDATA[
new TWTR.Widget({ version: 2, type: 'profile', rpp: 10, interval: 6000, width: 'auto', height: 300, theme: { shell: { background: '#333333', color: '#ffffff' }, tweets: { background: '#000000', color: '#ffffff', links: '#4aed05' } }, features: { scrollbar: false, loop: false, live: true, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: false, behavior: 'all' } }).render().setUser('martin_m').start();
// ]]></script>
</code>

Replace “martin_m” with your own username.





Lot’s of people ask me: “Martin, how can I create online surveys?”

I mostly answer: “Use Google docs!”. That is quite something, because I also sell online surveys at a service, but then Google docs is even better than the program I use (although not as sophisticated). So if you want to create online forms…use Google docs and your survey will be online within 5 minutes. I am not joking!

So in order to show you how to create online forms I have made this instructional video, revealing how easy it really is. If you need help, just comment on this post and I’ll help you figure it out!

Yeah!
