Virus Alert - Beware of Greeting Card Emails

June 30th, 2007 by Mike Sparr

Recently there has been a string of Greeting Card emails from GreetingCards.com or BlueMountain.com and they are fake.  If you click a link in the email, which looks real, it will direct you to a blank white page that states they are trying out a new browser feature and if it doesn’t appear to click the link.  It tries to run an executable file (.exe) which is a malicious virus.

For safety’s sake, you may want to delete any greeting card emails you receive right now unless you know who it’s coming from (it should say their name and not ‘a family member’ or ‘a friend’).  Safe surfing!

Montana Job Posting Site - Free

June 27th, 2007 by Mike Sparr

Please visit: www.montanaworker.com and spread the word.  I’m getting feedback that more businesses are using the service and benefitting.  Many applicants have been called in for interviews and now word is spreading throughout the state.  The service is free.

We wanted a simple yet effective way to centralize our online recruiting as we begin to grow our team at Goomzee and decided to share the technology with all businesses.  The way I see it, the more businesses using it, the more qualified applicants we can also attract so it’s a win-win.  We have no plans to solicit donations nor sell advertising, just free jobs posting service for Montana businesses and online resume storage for all.  Enjoy and tell others!

Flushing local DNS on a Mac

June 27th, 2007 by Mike Sparr

Sometimes a website moves from one host to another but you have to wait a day before you can see it.  Well not anymore.  If you have a Mac, simply open up the Console program and type the following:

sudo lookupd -flushcache

You will need to use the sudo command as this needs to be run as root.  Simply enter your administrator password (assuming you are an administrator on your machine) and you’re done.  Close your browser program and then open the program again and try the address and it should appear, and on the new server.  :-)

The Funded

June 11th, 2007 by Mike Sparr

Recently a friend and advisor turned me onto a site I had not yet heard of called TheFunded.com.  It includes contacts and reviews for thousands of investment funds aimed and providing fuel for entrepreneurs who have or are seeking funding.  There’s some very insightful reviews and you have to take everything on a case-by-case basis but I’d recommend checking it out if you are seeking outside capital and have or are lining up meetings with investment firms.
