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:
4 things that annoy me as a blogger
December 24, 2008 by evl
Rss feeds
I hate it when people use my rss feed. Seriously, you want to read my stuff then come to my site. I cant stand it when sites and bloggers tell how many Rss subscribers they have. I bet you not even 1% of people that are subscribed to a site actually come and visit the site.
Although I hate it when people read my rss feed on a reader I still like reading other sites on readers. I know, my right to be annoying.
Leaving url in comment
Sometimes I am amazed at people. The comment section clearly states url. Now that means you dont have to repeat your url in the actual comment, it saves you time and effort. But no, you get these annoying people that fill in a comment and then put their urls under what they've written. Maybe someone should make a comment how-to to explain how the thing works.
Telling people where you've not been before
I have done exactly this for some time until I realized how stupid I must of sound to those that really has been there and know what they are talking about. Although I now have the experience, i also blogged about how to make money before I actually made money.
its like fooling people into believing you make money to make money from them.
Link exchange
I get these really annoying emails asking for link exchange. Here's a tip. Link your one page to your other page. There you have a link. Happy now?
Soul Men - Movie Trailer
December 22, 2008 by Daizy
Samuel L Jackson and Bernie Mac makes a good team for this comedy. Hard ass Samuel and funny man Bernie. It is the last movie Bernie made before he passed away last year so it kinda makes the movie bitter sweet. He was an extraordinary comedian who could make anyone laugh.
The plot is about when The Real Deal soul-singing sensation main man Marcus dies and there is a tribute concert held at the Apollo Theater. So Louis and Floyd his two backup crooners who has not spoken in 30 years need to reunite for the concert. So they have to travel across the country and all kind off stuff happens.
I added a video of one of the songs Samuel L Jackson and Bernie Mac actually sing - A walk in the park
Where to watch and find breaking news online - For news junkies
December 18, 2008 by evl
I am a real news junkie. I dont know why but its like an addiction. I want to know things before the rest of the world knows them Also running a blog I can blog about things before others blog about it. Its just plain addictive. So here are a few places to get stuck on looking for breaking news. Some you know, some you might not. Some are obvious. Lets explore: Google News Google News is probably a crowd favorite and I can understand why. Instead of just showing one news source it shows the collective topic all the news sites are talking about. So instead of just finding one breaking news story, you'll find that breaking news story showing all the sites that write about it. One thing worth it is to customize your news on Google News. Personally I dont like sport so i removed it.
Newsvine
Newsvine is like a news community where you can vote on news and share news. Its basically as I said a news community. This is worth checking out although if you are not living in the US you might not enjoy it that much since it mostly focussed on US stories.
Twitter
Twitter can be a great source to find breaking news. Oddly most people that have breaking news usually use the words "breaking news"
For instance doing a search on search.twitter.com and searching for "breaking news" will give you many results and mostly when bloggers and tweeters break the news, it's before the news channels and papers.
Addict-o-matic (addictomatic.com)
This is a different type of way to find the news. This will not really show you all the breaking news from random topics but will enable you to find news about a specific topic. By choosing your sources and typing in your wanted word you want news for it enables you to find news or articles from various places.
Although you can find breaking news here about a topic you might also find things that are a bit older.
Would you drive a taxi in South Africa?
December 10, 2008 by evl
So the gov ee ment wants to make a public transport system of some kind. I really have no idea and couldnt care less because I wont use it anyway.
My thoughts are just that these taxi drivers was all over the news since it has to do with the 2010 world cup.
Now if I was from another country I would in no way drive a South African taxi after seeing that news all over.
Imagine being used to the tubes in London and now you planning to come to South Africa and check this stuff out on the news. I'd be like - staying home for the 2010 world cup.
There are no anti black training camps, only anti white training camps - South Africa
December 10, 2008 by evl
So all the newspapers were wrong and today they had to fix their stories. The story about the boy that got abducted and given guns and learned how to blow up stuff was a fake. There is a camp that trains boys and men but its totally legal, unlike the ANC training camps where they train to kill the farmers and boers.
I still dont see the major newspapers turning their story they told, its a absolute lie. On another note, no one got arrested when they found the ANC training camp up in the North of South Africa and not just that, there are many more camps like that and nothing is dont about them.
Now you can call me a conspiracy theorist but this government is anti-white
Changing the course of this blog
October 28, 2008 by evl
I also thought about blogging about online tips and such, but I have never wanted to blog about these things until I was at a place where I could give prove, many people still dont believe that you can make a living by blogging but it is possible. So i would like to change the focus from general stuff to blogging, wordpress and more online things. I know I have blogged about this earlier as well but did not exactly know how to change the course of this blog in a quick way.
Taking over more than one niche was my goal but you have to blog about what you want and what you like because if you dont you will lose focus and your blog will become another statistic.
Anyway the point is I can now blog about the things I love, which is blogging tips , Making a living on the internet and online marketing. Also dont forgot those Worpdress which has become my cms of choice for working with any site.
Please join my rss feed. ( Oh by the way wprecipes did a post about how to put your "subscribe" text at end of every post, you can read it here.
I am going to put that on a bit later but adding rss to every page is the first step to getting those readers to subscribe.
Al-Qaeda supports McCain
October 22, 2008 by evl
On a website they wrote
"If al-Qaeda carries out a big operation against American interests," the message said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."
Interesting stuff. I said a while back that usually when they need someone to vote for a terror monger in the US something weird usually happens. Like last time when there was something I think in the UK or US they had the 7/7 whatever event.
Another reason to keep your data off the cloud and get your own hosting Aol to nuke content
October 22, 2008 by evl
theodp writes "Blaming an unquantified decline in usage, AOL has notified users it's decided the best thing to do is delete all of their blogs and files on October 31st. Want to save that precious blog of yours? AOL not-so-helpfully suggests: 'The quickest and easiest way to do this is by copying and pasting your content into a word processing document such as Microsoft Word, Notepad or even into an email and mailing it back to yourself. If you have any images we suggest you save them separately by right clicking on the image, choosing "Save Picture As" and allocate the drive on your PC where you would like to save them to.' Gee, thanks. And don't get too smug, Google users - the search giant has put its users on notice that Google Page Creator will be a thing of the past by year-end, although details of the transition have yet to be provided."
See how you should not put your stuff on free places and rather spend that R80 or $10 and getting your own domain? Depending on the cloud for a blog or rather anything is just not that bright.
