Took a break.

Today is Martin Luther King day. Not really much else to do. I signed up for a TON of ptc sites. Attempting to get my name out there first before i start my own. I already have the script, but since I start school tomorrow I wont be able to set anything up until this weekend.

Trying to get users to come to my blog and bookmark it. In my next post, I will post referrals of all the sites i'm currently signed up for. Have a nice day everybody.

Easy downloading.

I've been using a free program for quite some time, Jdownloader. It's fast easy to use and downloads practically everything I copy. What I mean by this is that I don't even have to put the link of what I'm downloading in to the program. All i have to do is copy the link and ta-da.

Sometimes after my computer is on for a very long time it tends to be a pain and not work properly. It's a good program for mass downloads. Say a friend gives you a file that's about 20 gigs, and say there's 8,000 parts. This program makes it simple.

Best of all it's free. It works great with my comodo firewall. Rapidshare requires no captchas, so i use it mostly. Although the captchas are kind of nice because you know that the program is actually downloading the file.

Anyways check out Jdownloader here. Tell me what you think, or if you have a similar program, suggestion, or something of that sort.

My mission to make money online.

I'm now signed up with swag bucks, it's a pretty neat site you can see it at the very bottom of the page. Swag bucks is cool because stuff that I do on a daily basis I can get points for and then use those points to get free stuff. There's a daily poll which is worth 1 swag buck, you can randomly be selected, enter surveys, search, watch videos, and much more. All of those generate swag bucks randomly.

Currently in my clixsense account which I mentioned in a previous post I have $5.18. The money is slowly building. I went back and installed the toolbar and just hid my other tool bars that I rarely use. It's nice knowing when I have ads to click.

Back to the point of this post, swag bucks is easy to use. I have it set as my home page. You can redeem your swag bucks to get wallpapers, clothes, electronics, sweepstakes entries, gift cards and much more.

I've also recently signed up for another site called neobux, which is fairly cool. It's just like clixsense, I've only been using it for about a day, but a friend of mine says it's legitimate. I saw the statement in his Paypal with my own eyes even though it was only for $45. With all the time I spend online, it wouldn't hurt to make a little extra cash.

Anyways, comments, suggestions, and questions are welcome.

Clixsense free money.

I've heard a lot about this site recently. It is not a get rich quick scheme, takes about 4 minutes of your time a day tops. It doesn't require your full screen or your full attention.

To cut to the chase, there's a toolbar that is optional to download. I didn't download it because I have three others already. The toolbar tells you when you have new ads to click. I've been told that you get anywhere from1 - 5 a day.

For referring people you get paid percentages only if the member you referred is active. Bogus in my opinion so I will not even waste my time. You must spend at least 30 seconds on the site you click. There's a counter, no annoying ads or pop-ups which I found suprising. Clixsense also requires you to get an Alertpay account. Pain in the neck to setup but that was free as well.

However if your going to listen to music, do it on the radio. I found this out the hard way. The sites you go to do have a habit of speaking and making noises like those annoying "free talking ipod" ads. So far I got like 30 cents, I actually played a game and clicked the ads in between games.

Anyways, try it out, tell me what you think, and tell me if you know of any similar websites. Visit Clixsense here.

Free web based Irc

Mibbit has to be one of my favorite sites to go to on a low end computer. For instance when I'm over at someones house and they don't have yahoo or anything the most appealing thing to do is to log into Internet relay chat in my opinion.

Mibbit is free, easy to use. Choose a name and log in. If your familiar with IRC you know that you can change your nickname at any time using the command "/nick". You can also use various other commands unfortunately there are no proxy settings unless of course you proxy your browser.

The one main feature I like about this web based application is that you can talk to anybody anywhere in the world even if you don't speak their language. With translation provided by Google. You can easily setup the translation setting to automatically translate what everyone says, no matter what language to English, and what you say to whatever language you like.

Also if you don't know what IRC is, you can view more about it here.
All I ask is that you check it out and tell me what you think. You can visit Mibbit here.

Free web based applications

There are various free web based applications I use on a daily basis without even realising it. Also a few I rarely use but I'm sure other people on the web would find them more appealing. Web based applications require no download, and are normally easy to use.

The first one I use is Pandora radio, it's free but has limitations. For instance you can only listen for xx amount of hours per month. I listen to the radio a lot so I switched to Wadio which doesn't have any options at all, but they play a lot of music I like.

The second would be Meebo. I love this application when I'm at my college, I can log in to all of my messengers on one site at the same time. If you create a Meebo account it memorizes all of your user names and passwords without revealing them.

For on the go photo editing while I'm on a public computer I normally go to picnik. It has various photo effects. Apply them with one click and it's fairly easy. Of course this site isn't all free it has some premium effects that are only offered to premium members for a monthly fee. But below there is a tutorial. It's kind of a "cheat" to get premium effects on pictures.



You can search the web for many other web based applications depending on what you want. I have no specific site that you could search on however if you were to search for something like an alarm clock online, you would simply put "web based alarm clock" simple enough ?

Naked alarm clock, meaning it barely has a gui "graphical user interface" is one that I found that works great. Look here. Suggestions, comments, and questions are welcome.

Diamond hd media wonder.

Best buy i've gotten in my opinion. It's a little black box no bigger than a deck of cards. You can view photos, play music and movies. All together it was $54.83 without shipping it was $39.99 If you're interested in buying one, the price has gone down dramatically click here.

No problems on my end, I did look at a video review before buying and the guy had a little line going down his television screen but he said it was probably his own t.v. It turned out to be smaller than I expected, you can't put it up on top of your t.v. because the cables weigh more than the box.

The remote is fairly small, about the size of the palm of your hand. Menu is extremely easy to get the hang of you simply select the file you would like to view and it has a file tree of your external hard drive, usb, or sd/mmc card. That is if your device is organized if not it sorts everything in alphabetical order.

A quote directly from the link I posted above
"Small compact size easy to switch between TV's at home or on the go. Watch your downloaded movies or other digital media on your big screen TV with out burning to Disk. Card Reader: SD/MMC Output interface: Audio: Stereo left and right, S/PDIF coaxial video. Video: Composite (480I/576I max resolutions) Component (480I/480P/576I/576P/720P) Support photo formats: JPEG, M-JPEG, BMP, TIFF, PNG. Supported Audio formats: MP3, WMA. Support Video formats: RM, RMVB, AVI, MPEG1(VCD), MPEG2(DVD), MP4. "


This is the video I watched before buying. If the embedded video doesn't work click the Youtube link , fairly useful review overall. I recommend people to buy this as it is a great buy. Easily play stored music, video and pictures.



Comments, suggestions to other boxes, and anything else you have to say is welcome.
