George Aspland of eVision wrote an article on “A Step By Step Guide To Effective Online Article Marketing” which was posted on Search Engine Land.

Key points to his articles:

  • Submitting to article directories does not mean effective article marketing

1099 For Goods

Posted on April 23, 2011 by admin

I don’t know what the lawmakers were thinking when they drafted the health care bill but sometime next year, businesses are required to file a 1099 for goods or services if those services go over $600.  I can understand filing 1099 for services, but for goods?

Anyway, here is a good article on this: http://smallbusiness.foxbusiness.com/sbc/2010/10/19/tax-rule-change-causes-big-small-business-ruckus/

HyperTerminal in Windows Vista and Windows 7

Posted on January 14, 2011 by admin

Hyperterm is on of the programs that was not included in the WIndows operating system after Windows XP.

I know that in this age of IP, serial communications or modem communication is less utilized but there are still legacy programs that require the use of terminal programs.

Looking for alternative solutions, I tried to look for a way to find out how to get it for Vista or Windows 7.

So to summarize, I found out that you need two files: Hyperterm.exe and hyperterm.dll. Hypertrm.exe is located in “C:\Program Files\Windows NT” and hypertrm.dll is located in “C:\Windows\system32″.

Just copy these two files and you should have HyperTerminal back. However, the problem is that when you try to save a hyperterminal entry, you’ll get a session ID error.

The solution to that is to make sure you have [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ht_auto_file\shell\open\command] registry key with a value of where the location of the Hyperterm program location. So if you copied the hyperterminal program to C:\Program Files\HyperTerminal\, the value of the entry should be “C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperTerminal\HYPERTRM.EXE” %1. Take note that you should not put quotes on %1.

That’s all there is to it and you should be able to use Hyperterminal in Vista or Win7.
