I finally started the brand new competition blog Comper Blog!

This blog will have information about competitions from all over the internet, specifically dealing with the best of the free-to-enter competitions on the internet.

Please pay my other site a visit and see what you think, maybe you can win something!

I have done this because I want to keep this blog as a personal blog where I share ideas of what I am doing on the internet and also to link to changes and other interesting stuff from my other blogs.

This is the reason why I have taken the ads down as to be honest, they were generating the odd few clicks here and there but I’d much rather have my personal blog ad-free for the time being and continue to update it about what I am doing on the internet.

This leads to the question;

Why did you change your theme too?

Well, I actually wasn’t intending on changing the theme but when I attempted to remove the widgets from the sidebar they wouldn’t disappear so I changed the theme and hey presto!

I like the new theme anyways

One last issue to raise and resolve is the question of;

Will there ever be ads on FerrariDave?

Never say never. However, at the moment there will definitely be no ad widgets within the sidebar of FerrariDave – if I am reviewing a particular product (ebooks etc.) that I have previously purchased then I might have an affiliate link within the post but other than that there will be no ads.

I will be blogging on here when I update each of the sites and also when the site is released fully. Below is some details on each of the sites I am planning on starting soon.

Technology Blog

Yes, I am well aware that the technology blogging genre is pretty crowded at the moment and it probably will be quite difficult to get into the market at all as a new start up. However, as I love talking about and using technology, I thought it was only right that I had my own blog on it where I could publish my own views.

The blog itself will also hopefully be host to latest technology news (with my take on it), technology reviews and other interesting stuff.

Time will tell as to whether this will be a success at all, I’m giving it a good go regardless!

Comping blog

Comping is a word used to describe the art of entering competitions, something which I like to do on a regular basis, hell, it’s great getting stuff for free!

The blog itself will talk about different sites to find competitions and also different types of competitions available. The blog itself is pretty specific and I do not know immediately a blog dedicated to competition entering. The blog will host its own competitions and also feature more interesting competitions I find during my own competition entering.

Adult blog

Now, I’d rather not go into a great deal of detail about this particular site on this blog as I don’t feel it immediately appropriate talking about adult sites in great detail on my personal blog.

All I will say on the subject is that this blog will be talking about different adult sites on the internet and also be bringing some of the best free stuff to its readers.

I can confirm you will never ever see a link to my adult blog posted on this blog, guaranteed as I would prefer to keep this blog completely separate from any graphically adult material.

And the above just about sums up what I have in mind at the moment, I am getting started now on one of these and whenever there is any updates on them they will be posted on here.

I often have a look on RegTransfers to have a look see what’s available for my name/initials etc. and also to have a little dream about plates such as:

Which, when I last checked was going for in excess of £300,000 ($491,000). Now, will I buy a new house or a number plate… hmm…

When I have been browsing the RegTransfers website, I came across a section that they call Naughty Plate, where there is a large selection of number plates that could be perceived as being naughty. I have picked out some of the best ones in my opinion and detailed them in this post.

Orgasm (ORG 45M) – there’s definitely no mistaking this number plate, people would be able to spot this one from a mile away! Price: £150,000 ($245,000)

Penis (PEN 15) – another number plate which is pretty impossible to spot the meaning behind. RegTransfers had (or still do) this number plate on one of their promotional Smart Cars. Price: £99,995 ($164,000)

Bossy Fucker (BO51 FKR) – Although this one may be a little more difficult to distinguish straight away, it’s still a pretty neat plate nevertheless! Price: £7,995 ($13,000)

Orgy (ORG 7) – this one, I think, is also pretty obvious. Would look really impressive sat on the drive next to ORG 45M! Price: £7,995 ($13,000)

Kinky (K11 NKY) – this one is another really obvious plate, pretty self-explanatory! Price: £32,500 ($53,000)

Love Sex (LOV 53X) – I think this plate could easily apply to the majority of the population, but who’s going to be daring enough to have this one on their car? Price: £11,795 ($19,000)

Viagra (V14 GRA) – Again, this one is bound to catch a few eyes, however, I dread to think what people may think if a guy has this on their car haha. Price: £60,000 ($98,000)

69 XXX (69 XXX) – This one I would imagine most people would pick up on straight away! Price: £54,990 ($90,000)

Pimpin’ (P11 MPN) – This particular plate would look great if you had a car full of girls at the time (or I suppose if you have a car full of girls on a regular basis, although I suppose that may mean that you are in fact a pimp!). Price: £11,790 ($19,000)

So there you have it, my round up of some of the best naughty registration plates that are currently for sale. Hopefully I will buy a few of these one day, again, when I’m a millionaire haha.

Do you have a great number plate, naughty of otherwise? Contact me and let me know!

Now that the majority of us are now on Facebook or one of the other similar social networking sites, it was inevitable that there would most certainly be an iPhone app created to access the site while you are on the move.

I of course am on Facebook, hence why I have the app on my iPhone.

Facebook on the iPhone is particularly useful for me as not only does it allow me to quickly update my status or post a new photo quickly, but I can also do the following:

• Check new friend status updates
• Read any notifications that I have
• Act on friend requests
• Read inbox messages and reply to them

Basically everything that you can do accessing your Facebook at home on your computer, you can do on the iPhone application. Which is pretty impressive as Facebook on different mobile phone platforms tends to be a more basic version with limited functionality.

I more often than not use Facebook on my iPhone to access different friends’ profiles whilst on the go. I find this particularly handy when certain situations arise when I am out with friends. For example if a certain person (who is not with us at the time) was to come up in conversation and someone has seen something on their Facebook or has some rumour on that person, this can be quickly verified by checking up on their Facebook.

The same applies if someone in the conversation doesn’t know a particular person that we are talking about, a quick search on Facebook can bring up an image of this person. This could mean that the other person involved in the conversation may recognise the person we are talking about once they have seen a photo of them.

All in all, the Facebook app for the iPhone has pretty much everything you would need from Facebook while you are on the move, as I have said, the app has nearly everything that you can access by visiting Facebook on your home computer.

Since purchasing my iPhone 3G about 12 months ago, it has become one of my most used pieces of technology.

I have always used my mobile phones a lot for sending silly amounts of text messages to my friends, however, the iPhone now means that I do a lot more than just text on my phone and thus probably wastes more of my time – some of this time spent on my phone though is productive, as you will find out through some of the stuff I have installed.

‘Apps’ as Apple call them (as I’m sure most of you are aware), are small pieces of software that runs on your iPhone and allows you to do a numerous amount of different tasks such as play games, listen to radio, make to-do lists and much, much more!

However, downloading apps can be very addictive, with there being so many different apps on the market, there is something for everyone and everyone seems to have to have a huge selection of apps installed on their iPhone. With new apps being released every day, there is so much to choose from.

In this series of blog posts, I will be detailing all of the different apps I have on my iPhone at the moment and also the very reasons why I have them. This series should never run out as I have five pages of apps on my phone right now and I get more every week.

The first in the series is the Facebook app for iPhone, this will be posted very soon after this blog post.

Premiership footballer Michael Owen must be feeling the pinch like the majority of us as it has been revealed by the Evening Chronicle that he is to sell his Ferrari.

Former Newcastle United star has just finished his contract with the Magpies and is now in talks with Manchester United, however, he has obviously realised that his next contract isn’t going to be quite so lucrative.

The Ferrari 599 is currently up for sale on Auto Trader for a price of £150,000. The description on Auto Trader from Lawton Brook Ltd. states that the car was previously owned by ‘an A List celebrity’.

Now I’m sure the majority of people browsing the internet have probably heard of Flickr before, however, I’m sure there are still loads of people who have never been on the site.

I just wanted to post about Flickr and the reasons why I am a Pro subscriber of the photo sharing website.

Introduction

As I have just mentioned, Flickr is a large community dedicated to the sharing of both images and more recently, videos. These images and videos can be commented on, favourited and posted into different groups.

There are several reasons why I specifically use Flickr and no other image hosting site on the internet, and this is because of the amazing features it offers, some of which I will go through throughout this post.

Uploading

It is so easy to share your images using Flickr’s image hosting and your own user pages. The images themselves can be easily and quickly uploaded to the site using Flickr Uploadr which handles the process very efficiently and allows several photos to be uploaded at once.

However, I not only have Flickr Uploadr installed on my system but I also use it in connection with Picasa, making use of the Flickr integration that allows you to select one or more photos or videos from Picasa and transfers them across to the Uploadr and takes the photo descriptions and tags with it.

This to me is definitely something that makes using Flickr so much easier as this tool is so simple and effective, something which is pretty much non-existent on other photo hosting websites whereby to upload your media you have to use the upload forms which often make it difficult to upload several images at the same time.

Comments

The ability to comment so easily within a photo page really impresses me and is one of the main reasons I love Flickr. There is a real feeling of community on Flickr and comments are generally helpful and informative and if you build up a list of contacts on Flickr a lot of them will also comment on your images.

Getting comments on your photos also gives you an idea of what other people think about your content that you have submitted to Flickr. People often give you comments on how you could improve on a similar photo in future, this advice to me is perfect as it gives you several opinions of people who are seeing your photos for the first time.

Tagging

Tagging is also an integral part of the way in which Flickr functions and allows people to find very relevant images very quickly. The above screenshots is a list of tags which I have used for the following image:

Flickr is very very huge when it comes to tagging photos, the amount of tags currently in use on Flickr is colossal. However, when they are used correctly they are perfect and allows users to search and Flickr will bring up the most relevant images according to your search terms.

Groups

The above screenshot shows a list of groups which I have submitted the earlier photograph into. Now groups are used to promote your images to people that might be interested in your particular photograph.

The images that are submitted to a group can be found in the group’s photo pool and people with interests similar to the photograph you have submitted, and that are registered to the group will be able to see your image and click through to it when they visit the group pages.

A function which Flickr also recently implemented is the group invite tool, whereby group administrators can invite other people’s images to their group. This is very functional as it means that no longer does the creator of the image need to find a group that they hadn’t thought of.

Conclusion

Above is the main features of Flickr that I find most useful and also the features that make Flickr stand out from the crowd when it comes to image hosting and also image sharing.

As I said in the first blog post of this new blog, I am seriously looking to start some websites at the moment and do some stuff with affiliate marketing and such like.

I’m pretty much open to give anything a try when it comes to making money online as this is what I’d really love to do. The first thing I have signed up for is Certified Cash Club.

Now, I’m usually pretty sceptical when it comes to purchasing eBooks and other similar sort of step by step guides from websites, however, I did a bit of research on this particular eBook and the reviews I have been reading around the internet suggest that this is a great guide.

The thing that swung the decision for me though was the 60 day guarantee – If you don’t make thousands in 60 days, you get your money back!!

I thought that was pretty impressive considering it is a low price to purchase to start with, and if the eBook itself has pretty much no risk, what have I got to lose?

As I am just beginning to read this now, I can’t really comment yet, but as I progress through the eBook I will be updating this blog on how it is going. Can’t wait? Why not download it yourself, risk free:

Certified Cash Club

The 28th of June was my Mam’s birthday and as it was her 40th birthday I thought it was only right that I bought her something special to mark the occasion. However, I had pretty much no idea what to get her.

Whilst browsing about the shops, I decided that I would buy her a Nintendo Wii for her birthday, something with she has been thinking about buying for some time now. In the end, I ended up spending a bit more and buying a package deal that included WiiFit.

Now I’ve never ever had an urge to go out and buy the Wii and WiiFit as I never truly believed that it would be worth purchasing, and never imagined the gameplay and fitness software to be that good.

I was wrong.

After playing on it a few times today, I can confirm that some of the stuff on there is quite challenging and also fun at the same time.

I can’t imagine anyone getting super fit using the WiiFit, but I would think that the average person could lose a little bit weight using the system. Especially those that barely exercise before using the Wii as the WiiFit has fun built into exercising, making the tasks much more enjoyable, rather than a chore.

So all in all, well done to the guys at Nintendo, my Mam is happy and I’m impressed
