Some CMS programs have an issue when you try to put specific code within the site. Joomla is one of them. If you try to put ads in a content page with the “script” tag in them, the tag becomes garbled enough that your ad doesn’t show.
Adsense
There are a couple Adsense options that I’m aware of. continue reading…
Today I made the switch. I’d been considering moving to WordPress for the last week. First, I’m going to tell you how I switched, and then I’ll tell you why. continue reading…
Power Supply Review
Fortron Sparkle FSP/SPI – ATX-400PN
400W ATX 12V 20/24 PIN 120MM Fan
P4 AMD Ready OEM w/Noise Killer
P/N: ATX-400PN-B204
After a few changes in our home network, namely the addition of a computer acting as a file/print server, I was in the market for a new power supply unit. The computer already had a power supply, but it was the typical no-name type included with a cheap case. I was looking for a quality PSU with a low price tag attached – not always an easy feat. After some searching, I came up with the Fortron ATX-400PN from NCIX.com. The regular price was a little over $40, and the sale price was $37.98 CDN. continue reading…
A bios flash gone bad can kill your bios. Yes, sometimes you can create a boot disk that automatically reflashes it, but sometimes it’s fried.
So what do you do if you’re in this situation? ABIT will send you one for free. continue reading…
Usually when there’s talk about computer power supplies, the main concern is one of the following:
Rarely is the efficiency a big concern. However, it should be. continue reading…
UPDATE: I eventually abandoned the site. Interest wasn’t terribly high (turns out there are numerous other options out there), and it didn’t really take off the way I’d originally hoped. Write-up is still here for anyone interested, but keep in mind the actual site is gone.
Last night, I decided to start up another website. This one was going to use a subdomain redirection script. I registered xyURL.com, found a script, and finally today finished setting it up on the site. “What’s a subdomain redirection script?” you might ask. Quite simply, it’s a script that automatically generates subdomains on a website and allows those subdomains to point at various URLs. These scripts in particular allow a user to register a subdomain, and then point that subdomain to one of their web pages or web sites. In my case, someone can register http://username.xyurl.com and have it point to their own website. continue reading…
Two days into Chitika, and I was faced with some pretty discouraging results… Adsense was performing very much the same – quite surprising, as I expected a 50% drop. I was faced with perhaps a 10% drop. Chitika on the other hand was not performing… at all. That’s right, much to my surprise, there was 0 revenue. Yes there were ad impressions, and no, not one click.
Reasons? Well here are a few possibilities that went through my mind…. continue reading…
The first web host I ever used was CanadianWebHosting.com. It wasn’t for me, rather my father’s site, and we were looking for a Canadian-based web host for his small business. They offered domains for $15/year, and 100mb monthly storage / 5GB montly transfer for about $5/month.
A couple years later, I was looking to obtain my own domain name and web space for a small site. continue reading…
Background
Most of my sites use Adsense, but as wonderful as Adsense is, it’s not perfect. For those who don’t know how Adsense works, it’s a form of “contextual advertising”. What happens is Adsense scans the content of your web page, and provides ads that are targeted to the user, based on the content of your page. That’s what contextual advertising is all about. Really neat idea actually.
Except there’s a problem… Sometimes Adsense guesses wrong. continue reading…
A few years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night. I was in my bed on my back, my eyes were open a slit, and I couldn’t feel myself breathing. Try as I might, I couldn’t move or really do anything for that matter, except for coming to the conclusion that I was dying. I lost consciousness, and somehow woke up the next day.
A few months later, I had gone to bed early, and woke up not long after having fallen asleep, and again in the same situation. I couldn’t move, didn’t think I was breathing, and this time, there was also loud ringing in my ears. It got louder and louder, and then I again lost consciousness, but woke up soon after, completely fine, although a little worried about what might be happening to me.
As it turns out, I suffer from Sleep Paralysis. continue reading…
