Buy cheap books online
Chris 
The other day I stumbled upon a great website to buy cheap books online.
Bookish.co.nz is a site that will compare something like forty four online bookstores when you search a title or author and show you who is the cheapest.
If you are trying to get a more hard to find book which isn’t available in New Zealand, it might surprise you to know there are other places at times cheaper than Amazon!
To buy cheap books online, try visiting www.bookish.co.nz.
ITIL Foundation certification
Just this week I sat and passed the ITIL Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management exam. What the hell does that mean?
ITIL is short for ‘Information Technology Infrastructure Library’ which is a set of best practice guidelines for an IT department to deliver better service to their organisation.
Some IT departments are known for not being very customer friendly or responsive when they are called upon and ITIL improves all this when adopted and implemented.
Most of the really big organisations that exist have pretty much adopted this approach to IT. Microsoft is one huge example.
I guess it was a bit geeky of me to find it interesting 
It’s basically business customer service principles where your customers are the internal organisation rather than external.
The course lasted for three days with an exam held on the final day which I’m stoked to say I confidently passed. Now I just need my special piece of paper and pin badge to arrive in the mail.
Find out more about ITIL at the official ITIL website.
SEO certified
Today I passed my SEO certification exam at Expert Rating. So what does being SEO certified actually mean? It means you understand how websites rank in search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.
I’ve understood how SEO works for sometime but had nothing to officially show for it which was part of my decision to get SEO certified.
My SEO example
For a laugh, a friend of mine suggested I try and see if I could get my site to rank in Google for “hottest guy in the world”.
As you can see from this image, my site chrisyong.net is currently sitting in the third position out of 1,490,000 results according to Google, I took that snapshot today.
Besides this, I also have several other websites with first page Google rankings
