1. I think this is a pretty cool web find. It is the Mother of all Clocks. I think there are about 50 or so clocks. But I am surprised someone actually took the time to put it together. At any rate, it is an interesting find. Check it out.

    This is another cool clock a friend sent me. It has an interesting layout as you will see.

    1st Line is seconds
    2nd Line is minutes
    3rd Line is hours
    4th Line is days
    5th Line is months
    6th Line is years

  2. Here is a site, Huitter.com, you can use to bulk manage all those automated messages you receive on Twitter.com. Without a doubt, Twitter is a great micro blogging service, but you will receive a lot of terse messages if you are a heavy follower. I receive about 100-200 per day (mostly like "thanks for the follow") and I can only delete one at a time. I glanced over all of them, but I don't have time to delete them all. Who does?

    They also have a useful mutuality tool. Check them out.

  3. Amazing NextEngine's 3D scanner technology applied to the real world.

    This is an interesting piece of machinery and it is explained in a matter of 8 minutes!  It's all MADE  IN  THE  USA!!!  Give it a good look. Some of you might even have reason to buy and use this equipment.  It's simply stimulating to watch.  Check out Jay Leno and crew having this piece of machinery demonstrated.

  4. This is a pretty interesting find. Per their website, Country IP Blocks,  they offer Network Data in 7 Separate Formats: CIDR, Netmask, .htaccess deny, .htaccess allow, IP Range, Decimal/CIDR* and Hexadecimal/CIDR. You are in control of who or what accesses your website or servers.

    It will help you block a country or allow a country. It lets you control the the network traffic coming to your site. Their site states that IP Blocks are simple and effective in limiting bandwidth hogs, hackers, spammers and other undesirable traffic.

    This is a good tool to block those Nigerian 419 scammers and pet and loan scammers.

  5. My Korean-American friend asked me to stare at this image for about thirty seconds. He did not mention what I should see but he did look quite surprised after his 3-step experience. After thirty seconds, he asked me to look above the monitor and then he asked me what I saw. Frankly speaking, the projected subliminal image was unexpected.















    Here are the 3 simple steps:
    1. Stare at the 4 vertically-centered dots for approximately thirty seconds
    2. Now look above or away from your monitor for a few seconds
    3. Well, what did you see?

  7. Apparently, I created an account with these guys awhile ago. I probably used it to promote (not host) FreeAdLists.com when I launched it almost 2 years ago.

    It appears Freehostia's free hosting plan will not allow members to use Google Adsense (JavaScript) or similar applications that require a remote connection to a server. I assume more hosting sites with these free hosting plans will follow suit.

    Subj: Outgoing connections support to be discontinued

    Dear customer,

    Due to the increasing number of complaints about abusive free web hosting account usage, FreeHostia is forced to discontinue the support of outgoing connections to remote servers for all free web hosting accounts. This restriction on outgoing connections will become effective on December 16th, 2008.

    If outgoing connections are vital for your website (for example, if you are using RSS feeds or any other information from remote servers) we would recommend you to consider upgrading to a paid account. You can do this using the Upgrade section of your Control Panel.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Best Regards,
    FreeHostia Team

  8. You might have noticed my Blogrush widget has disappeared from this blog...well maybe not. The service was supposed to provide instant distribution for blog posts across a network of related blogs. But I guess they ran into a few problems. John Reese, Blogrush’s founder, mentioned a few issues with security and abusive users as some of the issues that limited its full potential. I also remember them having some problems with blog quality guidelines on the initial roll-out. But anyway, you can go to the Blogrush homepage for further details.

    He also mentioned saving about $7,000 in server costs on his twitter page.

    I thought Blogrush was a pretty decent “4am idea,” and I am sure Reese will roll something else out in the near future.

  9. For a particular task, I needed to capture a sequence of screen clicks. I decided to "google" for an opensource screen recorder. After a brief search, I found and tried a few but CamStudio's freeware application seemed to fit the bill.

    Here is some more information on CamStudio's per their website:

    What is CamStudio - Free Streaming Video Desktop Recording Software?

    CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)

    Here are just a few ways you can use this software:

    -You can use it to create demonstration videos for any software program
    -Or how about creating a set of videos answering your most frequently asked questions?
    -You can create video tutorials for school or college class
    -You can use it to record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people
    -You can use it to create video-based information products you can sell
    -You can even use it to record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favorite software program, before you forget them

  10. Here is a useful article from Labnol.org about Google talk bots. Here are 7 cool things you can do with the Google Talk's "virtual friends" or bots. I found #5 (Translation), #6 (Setting up reminders) and #7 (Transliteration) useful.
