This is just a short post to keep you up to speed with what I am personally doing regarding to this site. If you don’t follow my Twitter feed, I am currently at crunch point at my first year at Uni (one year all ready, WOW). In the next 4 weeks I am having my final year exams, which I need to pass. As a result this blog will have to take a back seat.

I would like to say hi to a new sponsor on this site Clean My Mac. They offer an app designed to clean up your Mac and get it squeeky clean. Although you can get free apps which do the same thing, you may be interested in a paid app. Try the program out see what you think.

This is a quick post to say “Hi” and “Thanks” to iShowU for sponsoring this site. As it is customary I am going to give a little bit of background about the product. iShowU are the creators of the very popular screen capturing program. You set the program going, and it will record everything on screen. Very useful for screen casts and anything to do with showing people what is going on your Mac. I have used this program before although I have not used the recent versions (I have no use for the program at the moment).

I all most forgot to say Happy New Year to every one. I was too busy having such a good time, that I forgot to Thank everyone who has visited this site. I like to say thanks for every one who has commented, had a question, or just contributed to the site in some little way. Its always fun.

Its the beginning of the month, this means I will have a couple of advertiser joining this site. This time round I would like to welcome Accountz. This is an accounting application that you can use to keep track of all of your finance needs. I haven’t yet tried this app out, but has been featured in MacWorld so it is probably a decent app.

Last night should have been something really enjoyable for this site. I was featured on Digg. I should have been enjoying the large amount of traffic and clicks on my advertisers adverts. But sadly all was not to be enjoyed. I suffered the dreaded downtime. Until last night I had 3 months of perfect uptime. This post is to say sorry if you tried to access the site and you found it was down.

If you are a follower of my Twitter feed, I have mentioned iLoveMacApps a couple of times. This new website is all about Mac applications. Since Mac apps are a big part of the Mac community, there is hundreds of great applications out there I decided that it would be a good idea to dedicate a site towards them.

New advertising sponsors seem to becoming thick and fast on MacTricksAndTips. This is good for the site since I can continue to support the hosting and bandwidth costs, as well as pay for food to keep me fueled. Anyway, I would like to welcome ActionGear, they offer a Mac program designed as a light weight task management system. It is like to-dos in Mail but on steroids. ActionGear and myself are trying to organise a giveaway for a couple of licenses of this product. That should be appearing in the next couple of days.
