This week I decided to add two more handsets to my vtech ip8100 base.

The manual for the handset ip811 explains how to add the handset by entering the Base Id, however what happens if you have old handsets to add to your base or if your handset is not automatically asking for a base id?

I found some information on the Vonage forum:

However I tested another way of doing it without having to power down the base.

Just press on the “Sel” button on the handset and the “Enter Base ID” message will come up. At this point just enter the Base id and press “Sel” again. Your handset should come up with the new Handset number.

That is it! You are done.

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

The other day I stumbled into this cool website.

It offers a “free” swing analysis tool. I mean “free” because you get the  tool that shows you various swings from (what I believe) are good golfers. If you want the analysis part you need to purchase a yearly subscription.

It is very useful for those times when you need to see a good swing in slow motion and control it at your own pace. Sure you can go to YouTube and watch many swing videos but with this tool you can actually control the pace and pause on specific parts of the swing.

I hope you like it. Here is the link:
