New Theme – Best Ever!

New Theme – Best Ever!

I’ve been through many WordPress themes over the last 4 years, but the one I added last night is definitely the best ever!  It’s very clean and simple to use, and more importantly, very, very fast even with all my many plugins and tweaks running.
The feature I love the most is the featured posts carousel, [...]

Launching Otaku Gadgets

After taking a minor break from blogging in 2008, I’ve been working even harder than ever in 2009.   What has really spurred me on has been the success of Windows 7 News, that I run jointly with Martin from gHacks.  Having an official blogging business partner is great as two brains are better than one, [...]

Migrated To New Server Over The Weekend

I’ve had to move servers again and the migration was completed over the weekend.  I’d like to thank my new hosts WiredTree for a very professional move, which had no major hiccups.  Already users should see major speed improvements on the site, which will increase over the coming weeks as we tweak the server.

When Should You Remove Ads From Your Site?

When Should You Remove Ads From Your Site?

I’ve read many blog posts advising as to when aspiring bloggers should add banners to their sites.  In my opinion the advice given in most posts that you should only add adverts once you’ve got an established readership is wrong.  A good blog should always be attracting new readers, so why should new readers be [...]

How To Make Quick And Safe Bucks Online With Forex

95% of new investors fail the forex game. That’s a fact. The average bloke jumps into the market with a $10,000 investment hoping to hit a goldmine. He purchases scores of forex indicators off ebay to get an edge. Then he tries autotrading robots amounting to a thousand dollars. Then reality sets in. Losses accumulate [...]

Last week my server was attacked by a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack for about 5 days, which took my sites down for about 4 hours.  My host liquidweb responded brilliantly and although they couldn’t stop the attack, they tweaked my server so that it could handle excess load from the attack.

Using Multiple Ad Networks To Increase Blog Earnings

It’s been a long time since I’ve produced a post about making money with blogs.  I used to share my tips regularly in my MyBlogEarnings posts, but I stopped sharing my earnings and tips, because I didn’t want people to think that I was boasting, and also because some of my colleagues found out and [...]

The Perfect OS

The Perfect OS

I’ve written several articles where I bash a particular operating system or heap praises on another. I’ve held a fascination with operating systems, and with graphical user interfaces, since around 1995, when I was introduced first to Digital Unix, and then BSD and linux shortly thereafter. In 1996 I began my love affair with all [...]

My Eyes Have Been Opened To The Power Of Twitter

I have to confess that until last month I tried to ignore twitter because I thought it was a waste of time.  I was convinced that there was no real value in twitter and that it was another distraction like facebook that I didn’t need.  However, just as facebook turned out to be a very [...]

Got Trash? Don’t Fret -You Got Cash!

Earlier, I mentioned how easily you can make $200 a day with $5 cost. But did you know you can actually make $900 a day at almost no capital expenditure?
I discovered the method years ago when a relative gifted me a pair of shoes. Not just any kind, mind you. These were Louis Vuittons. $400 [...]
