Random Posts widget for Blogger blogs.

How does it works? It uses a code called "math.random()" which reads random posts from your XML feed. I've set it to 5 , but you can modify it later.

How to use? Simply go to your blogger account , select Design , and add a new Gadget to your template. Select Javascript/Html , and position it wherever you want the Random Posts to appear.

<script type="text/javascript">
var randarray = new Array();var l=0;var flag;
var numofpost=5;function randomposts(json){
var total = parseInt(json.feed.openSearch$totalResults.$t,10);
for(i=0;i < numofpost;){flag=0;randarray.length=numofpost;l=Math.floor(Math.random()*total);for(j in randarray){if(l==randarray[j]){ flag=1;}}
if(flag==0&&l!=0){randarray[i++]=l;}}document.write(‘<ul>’);
for(n in randarray){ var p=randarray[n];var entry=json.feed.entry[p-1];
for(k=0; k < entry.link.length; k++){if(entry.link[k].rel==’alternate’){var item = "<li>" + "<a href=" + entry.link[k].href + ">" + entry.title.$t + "</a> </li>";
document.write(item);}}
}
document.write(‘<li><a href="http://dreamon.tk" target="_blank">Random posts</a></li>’);document.write(‘</ul>’);}
</script>
<script src="/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&start-index=1&max-results=1000&callback=randomposts" type="text/javascript"></script>

5 more Adsense-like advertisers.

While some people think blogging is easy , and sites without adds are cool , I think its not that easy at all , especially if you drive a site alone ... like me. Anyways , earning money via adds is the cleanest way to earn money , without to bug constantly your visitors to subscribe to weird premium items , or I don't know what other methods. While Google Adsense is awesome , there are some other advertisers too that pay you just as well as Google Adsense , if not better , and the coolest thing , you can keep all advertisers.

1. Adbrite -> Perhaps the best alternative to Google Adsense , and they work together in a perfect harmony. In fact Adrbrite encourages you to use Google Adsense with them. You can be paid via Paypal or Checks , and they are really on top of the industry. For a live demo , just scroll down on my page and on the right sidebar.

2. Bidvertiser -> Another cool advertiser , which offers different kind of adds too , like popup unders , xml adds , they also pay you in Paypal or Check directly to your home , and one of their coolest feature is , that you can block certain ads , which gives you a total control over your ads.

3. Chitika -> They are not new to this content sensitive web based marketing business that was founded in the year 2003 and is the leading merchandising company in the industry. This is because they help their publishers generate revenue using innovative publisher-side advertising and merchandising solutions and services. With the recent progress of the company to provide a fully fledged service, it is possible that they can advertise products based on the information to what people have been looking for information on your website, meaning that you will getting more clicks than normal. You will be getting payouts in both ways by cheque and PayPal.

4. Infolinks -> They have recently ventured in this business and therefore the probability of your website for not being accepted is of minimal probability to occur. They specialize in In-text advertising, when the user places their mouse over the link opens a box showing ads, that when users you will get certain amount of money. This is a very simple and effective technique. In addition, Infolinks just added a new feature called related tags allowing you to increase the chances of clicks and thereby your earnings by using valuable informational tags.

5 Clicksor ->  Clicksor is one of the current leaders in attracting small publishers and therefore have payouts of nearly 85% with the cost per click being a bit higher than many of the other leading firms in this business through which they help you to earn a good and decent income. The terms and conditions are also much more tolerant than Google.

4 AWESOME online photo editors manipulators

Depending on your daily needs , you may not want to spend 600$ for a Photoshop distribution , so here is where I , or this list comes handy. A lot of my friends asked me to show them a online editor that comes any closer to Photoshop. Well I'll show them , and you , even 4 of them. Although some of them are a little slow , they still do their job.

1. Aviary. This one , is almost the perfect Photoshop alternative. It has almost the same interface , its fast , easy to use , intuitive , and you will always want to return to it , or even better , you will want your friends to return to it too!

Web : http://www.aviary.com

2. FotoFlexer. This one , is not really a photoshop alternative , and it might look a bit hard at first sight , but it is a really great tool. You can login from several photo sharing services such as Flickr , Facebook , Picasa , and more. Once done , you can start having fun , with decorations , animations , text , auto fix , red eye reduction , and a lot more.

Web : http://fotoflexer.com/

3. BeFunky . Another beautiful tool , with a very minimalistic interface , but don't worry , the minimalistic interface doesn't mean it has to offer minimalistic features too. It has cool effects, animations , stamps , and much more with almost one click apply . You can also share your pictures , and/or download it to your computer after done editing. Or why not? You can create your own picture from scratch.

Web: http://www.befunky.com/

And finally the 4th candidate

4. Pixlr . Imagine pixlr as a lightweight alternative of photoshop , it has layers , text effects , and of course , its a whole tool to create your own image , cut , copy , layers , and much more. While I was using this tool I found absolutely no drawbacks , and it saves the picture almost instantly to your PC , its like it edits it directly on your hard disk. It's really awesome , worth trying out.

Although the picture is from a FireFox plugin , which is the same awesome as the online editor itself , they look both the same.

Fedora 15 , a distribution that is up to date!

Lately Fedora , and Ubuntu have been the only 2 distributions that were active , besides Backtrack , which is a copy of both with a lot of hacking tools , which I will not describe here , but if you really really want to see them you can go to backtrack.org , and see for yourself. So anyways , back to subject , Fedora 15 has been released , FINALLY! All of their main plugins , and applications such as Nautilus , gedit , and more have been updated for the new GNOME 3 to take advantage of the new GTK 3 toolkit! Although they removed the MINIMIZE , and MAXIMIZE button , there are other settings to do that , but GNOME never looked better.

Not to mention that the powerful FIREFOX 4 has been included , they fixed some network errors , and added tons of cool new features!

Here is a direct download link , since its free , however I recommend you to visit their web page : http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

Firefox 4 , the power unleashed x 2

Firefox 4 , is one of the best internet browsers , if not the best ... and thus knowing its limitations and what it can do its good for you. A news page article said that "Nvidia and Firefox 4 announced 3D HTML5 videos on Youtube , available exclusively in Firefox." "Starting with Firefox 4, WebM videos encoded with 3D data will be displayed in high-quality stereoscopic 3D using NVIDIA 3D Vision hardware. 3D hardware has moved from movie theaters and into people’s homes through TVs, laptop and desktop machines. 3D video games are in wide use today. And consumer hardware that’s capable of capturing 3D photos and videos is starting to come onto the market. In fact, there are several thousand 3D videos available today on YouTube. And starting today YouTube will transcode and play these videos into the open WebM format with 3D for use with their HTML5 player. This feature is currently only available in Firefox 4. It’s our hope that other browsers will follow and add support for 3D HTML5 video as well." source "blog.mozilla.org"

So now you know with what powerful application you are surfing the internet daily , and this is not the end. Each Firefox update is getting better and better , but it will require better and better PC too.

New blogger features.

As I am a devoted Blogger on Google's platform called "Blogger" , I noticed a brand new feature that might or might not be at any use , but surely some people will find it useful. The new feature I am talking about , is the ability to link each post to another page. This thingy is right after the Title:

Did not really understood the Enclosure link thingy , but it surely looks promising , and Thumbs up for Blogger platform that always brings us new features and remains the NUMBER ONE FREE blogging platform in the world.

The truth about WordPress

Wordpress is one awesome blogging platform , with literary thousands of themes you can choose from , thousands of cool plugins , each with its separate function , however there is one little problem with WordPress. Its really slow. I have took a little time to analyze the problem , deactivated a few "processor" hungry plug-ins and stuff , but it still was loading pretty slow. It's not that deadly though , everyone can support it , however I found other blogs much more faster then WordPress. For example , I have an account on wordpress.com , and one on blogger.com , the Blogger platform loads up to 60% faster even filled with Google adds , while the Wordpress it took quite a while , on a plain empty blog (literary empty).

Blogger vs. Wordpress -> Which is better for me?

So if you are planning to blog , especially on free platforms , I suggest , and recommend you to choose blogger , its way faster , more stable , but less options and addons. It's your choice.

How to Get the perfect Free hosting for you

Look for free web hosting companies that have a data center. That way you can make sure it won't go offline any soon.

In this little "tutorial" I'll talk to you about how to get the perfect type of webhosting for you. First of all , there is no such thing as "unlimited webhosting" unless its a really really big company , such as Google , Youtube , Yahoo , and some others.Some internet providers are also letting users have a web space , however those spaces have limited functionality , such as no domain hosting , no php , or no mysql , and such. When you are looking for a hosting , and you need a specified plugin to be installed on it , simply make a new text document ... insert this into it : <? phpinfo(); ?> , and save it as info.php , then upload it to the desired webhosting , and read through carefully , as it contains all the information you need about the specified server. Whenever you are looking for a free hosting , look first for any kind of rating and review of it , as users are the most accurate source that can lead you to the best. Of course some hostings false some of those reviews to gain visitors , I assume you can figure out yourself which is the fake and which is not.

Some hosting "companies" are nothing else , then real fake companies , that are actually hosted on a users pc , and his only purpose is to make money via banners. When he does not achieve his goals , or he does achieve his goal , he simply shuts down the server , cancels the domain payment , and everything will be gone , as well your software / database , and everything else. So be careful .

For example , I don't really trust domain names with a lot of numbers and weird name. Like 000webhost.com , at first I was scared , but I took my time to try out their "awesome features" , and ended up with a forum that was offline for 50% of its time due to MySQL connection problems , and of course , support is not answered ... as usual on most of any other free services.

When you are looking for a free webhosting company , dig deep into google , their forums , ask your friends , or other people that might have tried out that service , or even try out yourself with a simple copy of wordpress or a forum , and wait for a couple of weeks to see the changes , uptime , etc.

How to bypass surveys on locked sites

Cpa Content Locked.

If you want to pass by a survey on a valid web page , here is a quick solution you can do. First if open your hosts file , which is located in C:\Program Files\System32\Drivers\Etc , and add the following at the bottom of the file :

127.0.0.1        cpalead.com

This will block the popular survey site called cpalead.com , and therefore you are free to view sites that are locked via cpalead.com with a survey.

Cool Passwords ... THAT SHOULD NEVER BE USED!

Although this image has been around by a couple of years now , interestingly there are still a couple of people who still use passwords like this , including some of my friends. So I decided to re-post it , not only for them , but for anyone reading my blog , what passwords TO NOT use! Of course on the top is the always used "123456" password , which seems popular , and very easy to remember. But there are 13 years old kids that crawls the internet all day , and tries these passwords , and when they got one .... they will compromise your account , and maybe even leave some cool messages like "You have been hacked by Batman" and such.


So here is the top 500 passwords , always used , and they should not be used :

Google Images Java Trick

When you are bored , and looking for funny pictures , avatars , icons , or whatever , you surely use http://images.google.com , so here is a cool trick that you can do , and see for yourself what will happen. :)

Just search for anything , example : cat , dog , flower , etc. then press enter ... then


javascript:R= 0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images ; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math. sin(R*x1+ i*x2+x3)* x4+x5; DIS.top=Math. cos(R*y1+ i*y2+y3)* y4+y5}R++ }setInterval('A()',5); void(0)

Just copy and paste that in your browser address and press enter. Have fun!!!!

How to stop adds on web pages or any other applications.

If you surf the web , you may see that some pages exaggerate about adds. They put it on the middle of the website , or wherever it is the most visible , and you can't even use the applications without a few thousand popups. Here is where the famous "addblock" add-on comes handy in firefox , but what about other applications? Simply open your host folder which is usually in c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts , and add the address that you want to block at the end of the line.

For example ... : 127.0.0.1 adds.example.com

You can make sure their adds will never display anymore , in any application. Have fun experimenting , however bare in mind , that you are actually supporting webmasters by clicking on their adds , and if you are really a good person , then you will not block their adds , only if its really necessary.

Add Block Plus for Firefox 3.x to 4.x version , and Google Chrome.

And thus human kind fails again. (Threatening ourselves)

You may know , or maybe not , that the rapture was appointed to today , "May 21 , 2011" , but sir , I can tell you that this is the nicest rapture day I ever survived. The sky is clear , the sun is shining , the birds are singing , and I am drinking my coffee and shaking my head of how we failed again. http://www.wecanknow.com/ openly , and publicly predicted the rapture in 21 May 2011 , but as expected , nothing happened. They also claim that the wold will cease to exist as we know it until 21 December 2011 , but be serious people , this thing is going on by centuries , remember , first we was told this in 2000 , then in 2010 , then now in 21 December , and the next one will be in 2012. There is just a couple of words I want to tell you. Live your life , let it go , no one knows when exactly the world ends , and when it will , you will surely notice it. It won't help if we know it way before , it will make the situation worse.

Another cool free webhosting.

I recently wanted to create my own forum , so I was looking around for the perfect web hosting for it. Although its not perfect , but it has 100GB Bandwidth , Unlimited Disk space , and almost everything enabled that a paid host could offer. The only drawback I found that the support tickets are not instantly answered , which no wonder ... it's a free hosting , also nowadays they have their own page adds , but if you want your own page adds I think they let you use yours too.

Visit http://freezoka.net for more information's about their hosting service , and features.

Video to mp3 script.

Here is a free version of a script that can convert YouTube videos to mp3. There are a couple of things you have to know before you host your own mp3 converting website.

- This script is not a complete themed website. It's just the engine to get you started.
- This script is served as is , I make no guarantee it will work for you , however it did just fine for me.
- This script is updated with the latest YouTube changes.
- In order this script to function you need a valid ffmpeg distribution according to your system (64 or 32 bit)

So your directory most be something like this :
-video2mp3/index.php
-video2mp3/YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php
-video2mp3/videos
-video2mp3/mp3
-video2mp3/ (fmmpeg distribution here : ffmpeg.exe ... av-codec.dll , etc. )

How exactly this works? Saves the flv format on your webserver , converts it to mp3 , then gives a link to the generated mp3. Mp3's can be generated in 3 quality formats , Low , Medium and High.

Survey is the mainstream! (About Surveyed sites)

So , I went to this "letswatchmovies.org" which claimed that they have free online movies to watch. I don't even have to download them , don't even have to pay , so it sounds AWESOME. So I chose my favorite movie , and instead of movie , I got something like this :

Survey Locked Movie Site

So , I said thought "let spy a bit". Right click was disabled on the site , so I knew they have something to hide , but what? I pressed CTRL + U on my keyboard (shortcut for site source in Firefox) , and scrolled down until the <div> that was embedding the actual video. The link disappointed me.

<p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XqFJ838eKZw" width="550" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XqFJ838eKZw" /><param name="autostart" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></p>

So if I would be stupid to fill up that form and pay a couple of dollars I would have end up with watching a trailer. So people , don't fall for such sites. Most of them are fakes. Just buy the DVD with that money you pay for that survey , and you know its yours , and you know that no one fooled you , especially not some kid over the internet that makes fun of you and strips your money off each time you fill up a survey like that.

Tons of free animated avatars.

Are you an addicted forum crawler ? Do you have your own community ? In both cases you will need outstanding avatars , in fact , its better if you change it every couple of days , to show people how unique you are. Although Google images becomes handy sometimes , it's better if you have your own sets. So here is where I help you , along with an anonymous surfer who made this blog FULL of avatars! Yup yup! Look at this http://animatedavatarsdownload.blogspot.com

Even I got a couple of hundreds of avatars from there , and now I am happy , I am sure you will be too ;)

Free FTP client at its best.

You may not use a FTP everyday , but when you want to use it , you need a fast reliable client. Maybe you already know about net2ftp , but all I know about it , that is slow , and sometimes it doesn't even work. So on the same engine but a bit faster someone made a website. http://www.webftp.jbi.in/ , 100% safe , fast , and easy.

Can't find movies and movie names?

Here is the solution. As I was the surfing the internet yesterday I needed a list of movies that I can watch or buy in the future. IMDB did not helped me out too much so I surfed over this website , which was really helpful. It not only showed me the movies original cover , and release date , plus it gave me a little description , rating , and when is it released on DVD / BLURAY. You should all pay a little visit to http://tribute.ca/movies <-- I've got a nice list of movies from there ;)
