I registered this domain www.48hourplan.com at 12:41 GMT on 20 Dec 2006 - it was number 1 in google for “48 hour plan” by 04:58 GMT on 22 Dec 2006. Under 48 hours!
Now that is progress!

Just a quick thought. We have a saying in the UK that goes something like this:
Everything comes in threes.
Well first off I had to upgrade the forum
http://ttyc.co.uk/ because there was a security upgrade and you just can’t not do those ones. Why? Because when the forum designers put up on their site that there is a security hole they also tend to tell you exactly where. The hackers love it.
Secondly the server where
http://carpetdog.co.uk/ is hosted started to register a huge surge in CPU usage - It looks like someone was running a spambot that was sending out a million emails or something. Hopefully they will be caught and have their arses chewed.
Thirdly some tosser posted a ton of irrelevant crap on the
http://diggup.co.uk/ site. What do these people think lots of visitors are going to have a look for burberry hats - BLOODY CHAVS.
Therefore I didn’t get a chance to do some work for my eBay project.
We had a great mentor brainstorm at
http://give-me-some.info/about/easyprofit. You really should check it out. Just one of these calls is well worth the pittance they ask for. The members are mainly friendly too ;-)

Imprisoned by the apartheid regime for 27 years
He has made such an impact on the whole world simply by wishing to be treated as an equal.
Andrew Barrett, Bedford
I have visited South Africa. I have spoken with many who lived through apartheid. The fact that I encountered everywhere a philosophy of looking towards the future rather than being bitter about the past is largely, I believe, because Mandela set the example.
Anna Lindsay, Cambridge
He is living proof that one man can make a difference.
Kathy Hansen, Sunderland
He inspired other Southern African (Namibian and Zimbabwean) people to continue to struggle to end the evil system of apartheid; he kept his standards even under the oppression of prison life, befriending his jailer, encouraging his comrades, educating, learning, and refining his skills and wisdom. He still inspires the world in the fight to end poverty and other struggles such as that of the Palestinian people in the hope of ending their oppression/occupation. He is above all a warm, forgiving and open human being.
Patricia Bryden, Edinburgh
Labelled a terrorist, he experienced harsh racial hatred and discrimination and was imprisoned for more than 25 years for his political views. Yet, on release, he did not seek revenge; he showed his statesmanship, good grace and humour, and did not reject the white minority that had held millions of his fellow black countrymen as almost non-citizens, almost slave labour. What humility and generosity of spirit. If we are to bring about any form of harmony between the peoples of this planet, he is our role model. He is a giant of a man who humbles us all.

Well after about a month of searching, downloading and installing all the free ones (mostly after a lot of tweaking) and trying out all the demos for membership site software - I’ve made up my mind…
It was quite an easy decision…
aMember Pro
aMember is a flexible membership and subscription management PHP script. It has support for PayPal, BeanStream, 2Checkout, NoChex, VeriSign PayFlow, Authorize.Net, PaySystems, Probilling, Multicards, E-Gold and Clickbank payment systems (complete list can be found here) and allows you to setup paid-membership areas on your site. It can also be used without any payment system - you can manage users manually.
aMember Pro also supports integration plugins to link with third-party scripts databases (like vBulletin, Invision Board, you can see complete list here). aMember is a perfect membership software for selling digital subscriptions and downloads, and it can be used for other applications as well.
Well done aMember Pro!
