How alcohol works, scary
December 28, 2008 by evl
This is really messed up. I never knew the stages of how alcohol affects a person's body.If you have seen someone who has had too much to drink, you've probably noticed definite changes in that person's performance and behavior. The body responds to alcohol in stages, which correspond to an increase in BAC:
What to do when you have nothing to blog about
September 30, 2008 by evl
In a world with constant information and anything you want right in front of you, you need ways to keep your readers coming back to your blog. So what if you suddenly have nothing to write about? It has happened to me that I go for days with no ideas what to write about and sometimes its scary. Because if i donKitanica Mark IV the best jacket ever for geeks and off course bomb technicians

The jacket Adam Savage often wears on Mythbusters is one of the coolest looking jackets ever. Wearing this people will give their attention to you even if you dont deserve it. Might have a few hassles at a US airport but for the rest it looks pretty cool.
This jacket is made to be basically indestructible. It's got tons of features, almost as many as the iphone including a place to put your iphone.
Functions include:
Spine pad
Rifle Coil and some other stuff
Comes in 4 colours
Dear Packard Bell your round one button mouse pad is a crap idea.
September 10, 2008 by evl
So i got a Packard Bell laptop. When I was looking at it in the shop i did not think much of the round circle keyboard with the one button that you can click left and right. But working with it seems near impossible. The scrolling sucks so bad you have to plug in a usb mouse. Quickly browsing sites becomes more of a chore and if you have to scroll down you bet your attention wont be on the site. It will be on the mousepad or touchpad trying to figure out where the heck to scroll with the thing. So dear Packard Bell if you want to make your laptops look like Apple at least make sure the stuff works before you actually sell it. To the buyer: if you see a laptop with a round touchpad, make sure the thing works easily.How to make smoke to signal someone in a airplane or helicopter.
September 9, 2008 by evl
If you are stuck in the wild you need to plan for ways to get out. One of the most frustrating things is when someone is stuck in the jungle is when they see a airplane or a helicopter but they cant signal for help.
You should have a fire reader or at least a way to make a fire incase you hear oncoming airplanes or helicopters.
The best place is on a hill or a place with no trees. If its in the middle of nowhere and there are usually no people they will notice smoke, but you have to get their attention.
Here's how.
Wet wood. That's it. Throw wet wood on a fire and it will smoke. Leaves also works. If you cant find any leaves or wet wood, use live plants and if you cant find a plant throw in your some of your clothes.
But the answer is wet wood works the best to make smoke.
How to get advertisers for your website or blog
September 8, 2008 by evl
Getting advertisers for a site is never easy but by doing certain things you can get those advertisers interested in your site. It takes a lot of work to keep people interested in a site but there is something better than keeping people interested and that is by alway being on the first page of a google search. Or any other search engine. Targetting certain words on search engines or keyword targetting is the easiest way to get people to your site. Technically there are a few things you need to make it easier or more attractive for advertisers to advertise on your site. Traffic Traffic is the most important part of any website that wants to make money on the internet and getting the Advertiser's attention you have to show them that you actually get traffic by showing your stats somewhere. Search Engine Optimization Being rated high for a search term that there are many advertisers for would also look more appealing for advertisers since they know if people come to your site through that certain keyword the chances are bigger that the advertiser will also benefit. Contact page Without a contact page a blog really is incomplete. You might have all the things worked out nice but people dont really want to leave a comment somewhere to ask about advertising, they want a contact page or a email address they can contact you. Being able to contact you will also make them feel better about being able to advertise on your site because you can be contacted if there are any problems. That gives advertisers a sense of security. Advertise page A advertise page should be where you sell your blog's advertising space and convince people why its a good idea to actually advertise on your blog. There you can place your Alexa rank, you PR and traffic stats to make it more inviting. Thats about it on how to attract advertisers for your blog or website.Add some pictures to your posts for more rss activity on your blog
August 6, 2008 by evl
I read a lot of sites and blogs by using rss feeds. But sometimes when I am lazy iust skip the feed if it only has long text written with nothing to stimulate my eyes. Put some colour in your posts, even if it has nothing to do with the post itself.
You dont have to do this with every post but at least something that catches the eyes. That way when someone like me browses through their rss feeds they will stop because the pictures get their attention. That way you will also have more interaction from your rss readers.
When you add stuff to your rss feed you sometimes get bored with certain rss feeds because everyday they look the same, There is nothing new or exciting. I bet if you start adding pictures to your blog posts now you will increase interaction from your rss feed.
The Law in South Africa
July 16, 2008 by evl
Two recent court cases have earned the attention of newspaper readers in South Africa ~
1. One person was fined R1 000 for not having a TV licence.
2. Another was released on bail for R500 after being arrested for murder.
The moral of this South African story:
If you do not have a TV licence and the inspector comes round, kill him.
You'll save R500.
...It's the Right Thing To Do....
