How would you like your computer to read the displayed text for you ?

Maybe the web page tutorial your viewing doesn’t have an mp3 or a video version and you need to do some task. Whatever the reason, you may want your computer to read the entire site or even the selected text only.

If that’s what you need, download Internet Text Speaker here.

It’s a totally freeware with no commercial version.

Very handy and functional, get it here.

Computer’s usb ports have been the most notorious source of computer viruses, malware, spyware and other forms of computer infections.

How would you like to prevent users from using your company’s usb ports?

Download USB Blocker here.

The software has a freeware and commercial version. The market version has log-reporting function and other advance feature, but the freeware version does what it basically needs, and that’s to block usb ports on selected computers.

Or the better question is “Did You need it?”.

Google had become so big that many of its tools are so practical and functional, and Google Desktop is no difference.

I just installed the Google desktop today, and there is one specific feature I got impressed with. It’s its function that enables me to lunch a window where I can type any word I wanted to search online. The search window will appear after pressing the “control” key twice, very handy for persons like me who like to stay with the keyboard.

I’m always trying to avoid using the mouse as much as I can, so having a search textbox appearing after pressing a key is exactly what I needed.

Before, I was using chrome since its address bar also functions as a search textbox. Chrome eliminates my need to lunch another tab for google.com just to type my search keyword. With the Google Desktop, it had made my online life a lot better.

Had you used Google Desktop too ?

One of the key points I learned online about creating a site or blog is to carefully select you own niche. Your selected topic will then be your basis in writing your articles.

The purpose is to have a specific group of audience which will become your loyal visitors. I’m a programmer and I bookmarked some sites as my online resource for my programming projects. Having a specific niche in gaining loyal visitors could be true, but it’s not applicable for some people.

Then came Guerrilla Blogging, the bloggers’ term for blogging anything. It’s no surprise that wordpress’ nature enables bloggers to add categories, categories with no relation to each other.

These tools really are made for people like me who wants to write anything. I don’t want to be restricted with any niche, I want my thoughts to fly-free and blog when I felt writing.

No niche, no bars, no restrictions.

Guerrilla blogging, those for our kind.

Are you one of us?

Download Guerilla ebook at macuha.com or at zdiaz.com, the ones who just defined what im doing.

With the launch of Google’s chrome, the browser indeed is becoming the battle field on the race to dominate the internet world. That’s why browser’s developers need something unique to get users’ attention.

And here….

Introducing the WYZO browser !

You may ask, so what’s with it?

The WYZO browser is called the “media browser”, extracted from its own self definition “Wyzo is an awesome new browser that focuses on optimizing your online media experience”. The most interested functionality of this browser is its FireTorrent feature, in which you can download torrent files without the need of any bittorent client. Pretty amazing huh?

Though WYZO browser is still on its infant years. It only have its American language support. Available on Windows and Mac, but the site said that they are now working for Linux OS. And that the FireTorrent is only available for Windows, but they posted that it will we available for Mac after two to three weeks as of the date of this post.

Other features are the 33 customized search engines and its various wyzo skins.

A multimedia browser, why don’t you give it a try…..

It’s true that having more content could increase your traffic realistically, the more content the more you put on search engine’s database.

It may be appealing to some knowing that you can post at least an article per day, but in most situations, it’s very unideal.

I personally never commit myself to create a post everyday, instead I’m gauging myself on post per week. If you are using Google reader to receive your rss feeds, you can see there that every feeds are measured for post per week and not post per day.

Be aware that you have a life meaning that you have various external commitments, and being on your computer to create daily posts is impractical. If you would commit on daily post and if you miss a single day, you would feel guilty which would leads to various implications.

I post only when I feel the need to, if I have something valuable to say and not because I’m just trying to reach quotas. This makes my blog as a friend and not as my master.

So, do you blog everyday ?

When Im still a student I was looking on ways for online income. The first thing I got bumped upon were the online surveys. Wherein they would ask you to register, and after registering they will provide you with survey forms from different companies and each survey will earn you money. But registering needs registration fee, of course, that’s the catch.

They posted various testimonials from different persons which makes the program more tempting. I was about to take the bait, only later to come to a site that teaches me how to earn sure, decent and hard-earned money online.

The first program that was introduced to me is “Google Adsense” by Lisa Irby of 2createawebsite.com. I can’t remember how I exactly downloaded her adsense ebook entitled “Untold Adsense Facts”, but I remember reading it at home. It’s like I saw angels descending from heaven as I uttered my first response “This is exactly what I’m looking for!”.

You can download her book here.

I tried to register a two letter domain name today, only to be surprise that it’s not allowed. I emailed godaddy.com’s support team thinking that my session was just having a problem. Only later to find out that registering a two letter domain name was not allowed. The reply email advised me to register a three letter domain and see if that’s available.

“Thank you for contacting Online Support. One and two letter domain names are unavailable for registration as they are reserved by the registry. You would be able to try a three letter domain name and see if that is available. I apologize for any inconvenience.”

It’s a little surprising since I saw a two letter domain name which was sold for 13,850,000 U.S. dollars. The two letter domain name is yp.com bought by the yellow pages company (YellowPages.com). yp.com is included in the top ten most expensive sold domain names, see it here.

I googled around about the matter only to confirm that two letter domain names was reserved for the registry.

The confirmation from other sites about the restriction and the yp.com being sold out is a little confusing.

Buying a domain name is not a habit for me though I had some domain name I bought to use or sell later, but being restricted from having a two letter domain name is a little disappointing.

But are you wondering the two letter domain name that I’m trying to register? It’s do.me, as you can see here, sex.com was sold for $12.5 million, some site even said that it was sold for $14 million, so who wouldn’t have a thought of selling something near from that?

But what the heck, I still have my stuffsfor.me and createandmarketyourwebsite.com domains, anyone interested?

Have you ever used a password ? If you do, then this article is for you. Let me tell you the connection of passwords to our life.

We use password on our online accounts, documents, banking transactions and other login information that needed to be secured. With these, password had become a necessity to everyone’s life. Have you heard the line “Tell me your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are” ? Now I will tell you “Tell me your passwords and I’ll tell you who you are and who your friends are”.

On my previous job, I developed web applications that ask for user login information. The user’s username and password let the system know what features and restrictions should be load up on each user’s session. I maintain the system’s source code and of course the database where the entire passwords were recorded. I then concluded that our passwords mirrors our deep personalities, sometimes our long desire in life, our frustrations, nouns that are meaningful and other memorable things that defines what we are.

Before, I never gave much attention what password is and its connection to our life. But since that day, the idea of password grabbed my respect and recognition, simply because they are what we are, partly.

Are you having a confusion from choosing between underscore and hyphen characters for you url ?

It’s a common practice that using characters to separate joined words on a url makes your web address more presentable. With this they modified freemp3downloads.com to free-mp3-downloads.com. Neat isn’t it? But not to the underscore fanatics.

The underscore-character-fans wants to use the underscore character in replace to the hyphen. Saying that underscore was more likely to mimic the blank space created by the space bar. Not like the hyphen which blocks the eye flow with it sitting at the middle part of the line.
Now let’s start talking about this two things, when to use and when no to.

It’s true that hyphen can separate url neatly and properly, have you seen the site experts-exchange.com ? Can you imagine what would happen if it doesn’t have a hypen on it ? Some may mistakenly read it as expert-sex-change.com, now have you realized the importance of separating words on your url?

But again, we are back to the original question, should it be hyphened or should underscore do it?

Honestly, it’s either. For your domain name, use hyphen, but for your web pages, you can use both hyphen and underscore. Let’s create some examples.

For your domain name: www.your-domain.com and not www.your_domain.com. Here’s why, you want to take your visitors to your website as quickly as possible, most keyboard needs to hold the shift key while hitting the hyphen key in order to produce the underscore character. That means additional keyboard stroke, additional problem of fool-proofing your site.

Conclusion: If you need to separate your domain name’s words, use only hyphen.

Do not worry you can still use underscore character on your url. If you are separating your url’s words, you can use underscore if you’re doing it on your webpage. With this, your url will then become: www.your-domain.com/your_topic_for_today.htm .

Here’s the logic.

If your url already consists of webpages, then fool-proofing it may not be a big issue. Because no one is expecting anyone to type it manually. Webpage-consist url is normally too long for it to be memorize by anyone, so there is no need of fool proofing it since no one is more likely to type it. Users usually bookmark the webpage since its too long for him to remember.

Let’s recap, url – domain name must only contain hyphen, and for url – webpaged domains can accept both hyphen and underscore characters.
