Freeview guide not working when viewed from a computer.

Yesterday during the day, channel 9 and associated channels didn't appear in the online Freeview TV guide. This wasn't obvious until later. Last night channel 9, Gem and Go, were absent from the TV guide. This was quite unusual.

Today the Freeview online guide is showing no channels at all.

I've found often with technology, if something happens over the weekend, the situation doesn't get fixed as you think it should. I suspect this is because there's only a skeleton crew available to handle problems.

If you need a TV guide the guide in the TV appears to be working. In addition you may wish to try another site such as https://au.tv.yahoo.com/tv-guide/.

Google's Search Magic Revealed - spam

I've received quite a few emails to different email accounts with the subject "Google's Search Magic Revealed".

I've not seen that particularly spamming message and thought it was a change from the regular SEO marketing spam I receive.

Checking the IP address the email was received from, indicates the email used Google's servers which I felt was strange. You would think Google would be one of the most advanced companies in detecting and stopping spam.

If you receive emails from people you don't know it is best to delete them.

If you want to have your business seen think about using JustLocal. JustLocal doesn't use any of the undesirable marketing tactics to promote businesses.

Australian Dictionary - The preferred Australian English spelling for Microsoft Office on Windows and Mac OSX.

Australian Dictionary - The preferred Australian English spelling is available for Microsoft Office on Windows and Mac OSX.

Isn't the Australian Dictionary provided with Microsoft Office good enough?

The answer is for many people it isn't. The standard dictionary includes many secondary spelling variations which are often considered incorrect in Australia. For example, the word summarize with the 'ize' spelling is included as well as the preferred spelling summarise.

Why does it matter?

Because there are two spelling variations for a word it is possible to include both spelling variations in a single document. This for example can happen easily when copying and pasting text from multiple sources. Many people, including those in tertiary education, believe the secondary spelling variations with 'ize' are spelt using American English. Of course this isn't right, but since they don't know better, students get their work marked as incorrect. The same is true for many people in business and if you're applying for a job, or writing a report, your choice of a spelling variation could make a considerable difference.

There are also dozens of errors the preferred Australian English spelling files for Microsoft Office fix.

So if you'd prefer to produce consistent documents using the preferred Australian English spelling, get a copy of the files today. Visit www.Australian-Dictionary.com.au.
