Over the last few weeks the "My Tradesman" website has gained a lot publicity! It's a great idea in our opinion and for those who may not be aware, here is a little insight into the idea behind the website's objective. My tradesman was designed to allow people who have used services from our everyday tradesmen to give their reviews of the services received and allow everyday people like ourselves to be able to make a better informed decision about the tradesmen we hire to carry out our jobs, for example:
Appliance Repairers, Bricklayers, Pavers & Concrete Specialists, Builders & Carpenters, Cleaners (carpet, windows, general), Electricians, Flooring Contractors, Furniture Movers, Gardeners/Landscapers/Rubbish Removers, Gas Fitters/Heating Contractors, Glass Installers & Repairers, Joiners (kitchens, bathrooms, renovators), Painters, Paperhangers & Plasterers, Pest Controllers, Plumbers & Drainlayers, Roofing & Spouting Contractors, Window Furnishings (Curtains & Blinds)
This idea has spread like wild fire through out New Zealand and being a website that is free of charge has claimed a lot of attention with a lot of people, who are now taking advantage of the website.
If you are interested so far with this idea feel free to click the following link:

Came across a few 3D images a couple of months ago and just remember about them after checking out Wikipedia.
For those interested checkout Wainuiomata 3D Images (unfortunately the author has closed this album).
Remember when we would only imagine what it would be like to look down on home and to think with online tools like Google Earth and zoomin.co.nz shows how far we have come.
While your at it has anyone checked out Google Moon? if you zoom in too much be prepared to "smile".

Last year I posted an article on the site about Google Earth. For those of you that may not be aware, Google Earth is an application enabling users who have the right hardware, to navigate around a 3D generated "earth" on their desktop.
Google Earth combines satellite imagery to allow exciting views of the world from a click of your mouse. Recently Google Earth has updated its databases with higher resolution satellite imagery of New Zealand, so now you can see a birds eye view of your house! How about that?

The title says it all! If you have wanted some ideas about what to get up to around Wellington, this is well worth a look. For events, courses and activities from arts & entertainment to recreation and also for the kids.
The website is a vision of Recreation Wellington, a business unit of Wellington City Council, who encourage Wellingtonians to 'feel great' by enhancing well being and healthy lifestyles through the provision of quality, accessible and affordable recreation opportunities.
Check out the website Feeling Great (website no longer exists).

Are you up for a spontaneous chat with someone? Check out this concept! Pretty simple idea really. iMeep is a new service which randomly pairs you with another individual from around the world, to instantly have a one-on-one conversation. You are asked to 'SHARE' your chat for others to view and add to their favourites.

While going through my daily routine, reading through some of my emailing lists, I found this cool new online street map service for New Zealand, called Zoomin Maps. It's based around the same technology found in google maps, offering features such as:
- Find as you type for street name, your search is narrowed down as you type
- You can pan the map and zoom in, directly in your web browser
- You can switch between street map and aerial modes (With high resolution satellite imagery)
Click the logo below to visit the site.

Paint.NET is a free image and photo manipulation program designed to be used on computers that run Windows 2000, Windows XP, or higher. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.
Originally started at Washington State University as a senior design project, and intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.
At Ynui Technology, we love Paint.NET 
and can see that it has great potential, it currently sits somewhere in between Photoshop and MS Paint, yet is easy and intuitive to use (and it's FREE!). The program can be downloaded from the Paint.NET website. You will need the Microsoft .NET Framework installed first, if you haven't already got it installed.

Mozilla Firefox is a free, alternative web browser to Internet Explorer. It has been around for a while now, and has gained a lot of popularity lately. "Faster, Safer, Better" is Firefox's new tagline, and it definitely lives up to that name. Ynui Technology highly recommends users should at least try out Firefox, we know you'll love it.
Why should I switch from Internet Explorer, and why Firefox?
There are many reasons to switch to Firefox, but the number one reason is spyware. You may or may not have heard of spyware, but this is the number one problem on the internet today. To put it short, spyware is advertising software that installs on your computer without your knowledge and bombards you with popup advertisements.
Internet Explorer has a history of security flaws that often allowed spyware to install automatically on a users computer without their knowledge. This makes the infected system run very slow, crash a lot, and constantly generate popup advertisements.
Firefox offers the following features:
- Tabbed browsing (Most people find this a very useful feature)
- Built in popup blocker
- Built in google search
- Much faster than IE
- Supports extensions (Install extensions into Firefox to enhance it's functionality)
- Better standards support (The Ynui site actually works better in Firefox than IE)
- Improved security against spyware and viruses
Why not give Firefox a go. You've got nothing to lose, Internet Explorer remains on your system, so you can go back any time. However you may not even want to go back, after you have tried it.
Note: Firefox will prevent new spyware from installing on your system, however if your system is already infected with spyware, this will need to be cleaned out as well. We can help you remove the spyware from your computer.
