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>

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.

If I wouldn't see it with my own eyes , I wouldn't believe it. Yes , now you can create WordPress themes without any prior HTML coding , all you need is to fire up http://www.lubith.com , and soon you will "lub it" You can add images , re-size containers , tables , and mostly everything that a pro could do by hand coding. When you finished your artwork , you can download it in a clean .zip file or just press "e-mail it to me". COOL!


Features : User friendly interface , let's you re-size elements , add , modify fonts , colors , styles , and much more. http://www.lubith.com

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.

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.

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.

Follow this link: http://www.dreamon.tk/2011/05/how-to-change-hosts-file-in-vista.html to change your hosts file in Vista/ Windows 7

 If you want to edit the hosts file in Windows Vista , you might soon realize its not really possible , or it will give you a "file already in use , or cannot be saved" error. So here is the solution.

1)  Browse to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories
2)  Right click "Notepad" and select "Run as administrator"
3)  Click "Continue" on the UAC prompt
4)  Click File -> Open
5)  Browse to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc"
6)  Change the file filter drop down box from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)"
7)  Select "hosts" and click "Open"
8)  Make the needed changes and close Notepad.  Save when prompted.

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 :

Worst Password List

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

I am sure most of you wonder how to replace your current windows on a laptop that doesn't even have a CD-rom , or how to install a fresh copy on it. Well first , you need the following application http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=1054 and then you need another PC , and a CD or DVD Rom , and a Windows Xp Cd , of course. You also need a 2.0 USB stick less then 2 Gig's or it won't work.

Here is a more detailed way and download links : (Source msfn.org )

Unpack USB_MultiBoot_10.zip to your Harddisk in a simple Path without SPACES.

Major Changes and Support:

- Basic Use Involves only Selecting XP Source Folder and USB-Drive Target
to make USB-Stick which can be used for Install of XP on Mobile PC like e.g. ASUS Eee subnotebook

- USB_MultiBoot.cmd is Vista Compatible, but requires User Account Control OFF.
The bootmgr BootSector made by PeToUSB is Detected and
Converted to NTLDR Bootsector ( No need anymore to use BootSect.exe separately )
XP as OS is Preferred for Speed of FileCopy to USB ( 10 min instead of 30 minutes for Vista OS )

- Advanced Users can make USB-MultiBoot SuperStick or Harddisk,
when selecting Multi_boot.ini and MULTI_CONTENT Source offering a large variety of
handy computer tools available via boot.ini GRUB4DOS or SYSLINUX Menu

- Siginet's RyanVM Integrator or nLite can be used to Integrate Windows UpdatePacks in the XP-Source.
http://integrator.si...ex.php?download and http://www.nliteos.com/
The Complete XP-Source is Copied to XP LocalSource Folder $WIN_NT$.~LS on USB-Drive
Take care that your XPSOURCE Folder is located on your Harddisk in a simple Path without SPACES.

- Supports the use of BTS DriverPacks located in OEM Folder on USB-Drive - http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/
For Install of XP on a modern system with SATA Drives it is needed to use DPsBase.exe
for Integrating in your XPSOURCE BTS DriverPack Massstorage with TXT Mode Enabled.
In that case a lot of Extra RAID SCSI and SATA Drivers (about 120 extra) are Integrated which appear in the
XP Setup BootFolder $WIN_NT$.~BT on USB-Drive and can prevent a lot of XP Install Boot Problems.
First use RyanVM Integrator and than use DPsBase to Improve your XP-Source.
The program supplies a Customised presetup.cmd and changes the winnt.sif file for use of DriverPacks.

- For USB-Harddisk use Menu Option 0) to Change USB-stick in USB-Harddisk.
Because that makes that rdummy.sys is used and this is essential for using USB-Harddisk.
rdummy.sys makes Fixed USB-Harddisk seen in XP Setup as Removable Device.

- boot.ini and winnt.sif Files and $OEM$Folder are User Selectable,
Handy for Windows 2003 and Non Standard Installs and for making MultiBoot USB-Drive
Use the supplied winnt.sif file, which is copied to file Current_winnt.sif in Folder w_sif
For Unattended Install use the build in Edit UserData Setup to give ProductKey and TimeZone.
Use for Preparing USB-Drive Only winnt.sif file without an [Unattended] Section and with MsDosInitiated="1"
The Current_winnt.sif File is adjusted for this and copied by USB_MultiBoot.cmd to $WIN_NT$.~BT folder on USB-Drive.

- OEM or nLite winnt.sif File is detected in XPSOURCE and Auto Changed for Install of XP from USB.
In that case All Setup Parameters come from XPSOURCE and therefore Empty $OEM$_X Folder is Selected.
For UNATTENDED XP Install use the build in Edit UserData Setup to Change the 8 required parameters.
Give ProductKey and TimeZone used in Current_winnt.sif Copy of your winnt.sif

- Change $OEM$ folder to your needs, which is copied to $WIN_NT$.~LS folder on USB-Drive
CMDLINES.TXT is used for making UserAccounts and install of Registry Tweaks at T-12
Info see: http://unattended.ms.../unattended.xp/
ren_fold.cmd was changed such that $OEM$\$1 and $OEM$\$$ folders are copied
as usual to systemdrive (usually C:\) and systemroot (usually C:\WINDOWS) respectively.
For anything else you want to copy from USB-Drive, you can add similar lines to ren_fold.cmd,
which is executed at T-9 by the Section SetupParams of winnt.sif file
Or Use CMDLINES.TXT and useraccounts.cmd in the $OEM$ Folder for Extra Copy Commands.

- Supports also USB-Drives having FAT32 or NTFS Format, thus overcoming the 2 GB limit of FAT Format.
NTFS Format allows larger DriveSize and is very useful for Install of XP from USB-Harddisk.
Besides NTFS Format is handy for Install of Vista from USB via GRUB4DOS chainload of bootmgr
FAT32 is extremely slow in Windows XP FileCopy during TXT Mode (has anyone an idea why ?),
whereas NTFS Format of USB-Drive makes everything go faster than with FAT Format.

In the Format Menu one can Select:
P) PeToUSB - FAT Format - Max 2 GB
Install of XP from USB in 30 minutes - Buffalo FireStix 2 GB
FAT Format Supports Direct Booting with MS-DOS using MULTI_CONTENT
Do NOT Select here FileCopy of BartPE

H) HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool V2.0.6 - NTFS Format - use X_CONTENT
Install of XP from USB in 16 minutes - Corsair Flash Voyager 4 GB USB-stick

N) No Format - Use USB-Harddisk with FAT or NTFS Format by Windows XP

Use MULTI_CONTENT Folder only with FAT Format USB-Drive
for Support of Direct Booting with MS-DOS from boot.ini Menu
Use X_CONTENT Source Folder for making NTFS or FAT Format USB-Drive
with Support of Booting from DOS Floppy Images via GRUB4DOS Menu

HP Format Tool Enables to make large USB-sticks with NTFS Format which are very useful,
but is missing the option of PeToUSB to Install BartPE on USB-Drive.
The program was changed such that BartPE http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
or UBCD4Win http://www.ubcd4win.com/index.htm can be added now for all Format Options to USB-Drive
by Selecting BartPE Source Folder in the Main Menu. Remove with Cancel.
So don't use PeToUSB for Install of BartPE anymore, but only use PeToUSB to make FAT Format USB-Drive.
Using Cancel in BartPE Source Folder Selection, Disables the Install of BartPE on USB-Drive.
FileCopy to USB-Drive begins with USB Content Source Folder, followed by the XP Setup Source Folder
and finally the BartPE Source Folder is copied when a valid path was given with option 5)

- FAT32 and NTFS do not support Direct Booting into MS-DOS FREEDOS and Windows PE 2.0
Unsupported Boot Options are automatcally removed from the Menu's.
GRUB4DOS via boot.ini is in any FileSystem very powerful, especially using chainload of BootLoaders.
But GRUB4DOS also allows to Boot from MS-DOS or FREEDOS Floppy Images and to Boot from Linux.
http://grub4dos.jot.com/WikiHome
http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index...ub4dos_tutorial

- BootSector Files are made with dsfo / dsfi from the once with mkbt.exe copied BootSector,
instead of Install, Copy and Reset of BootSectors using mkbt.exe for making each BootSector File.
MakeBS3.cmd of jaclaz is used for making NTFS BootSector Files,
where SETUPLDR.BIN was Renamed to XPSTP according to the 5-letter limit requirement.

- Windows XP Recovery Console from USB is supported and by launching it via GRUB4DOS Menu
Booting Direct with XP Recovery Console has conflict by unwanted launching XP Setup.
The program CMDCONS_Folder.cmd can be used separately,
which makes Recovery Console folder cmdcons by parsing DOSNET.INF File.

- Overflow Control has been added by measuring DiskSize, FreeSize, XP-Source and
Multi_Content Source Folders using ASP Drive Object and Visual Basic Scripting.
SEE: http://www.w3schools...p_ref_drive.asp
http://www.robvander....com/index.html

- Excluding LANG and WIN98X Folders from Copy to USB can be Selected,
which reduces the XP-Source on USB-Drive by 135 MB
Reduction of the XP WINDOWS Folder can be achieved with nLite
but do NOT select Operating System Options-->Manual Install and Upgrade for removal.

XPSOURCE Space Saving Tips see: http://unattended.ms...xp/view/web/57/
You can Safely Remove the XPSOURCE folders:
WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG - This will free up 37.6 MB
LANG - 99 MB and cmpnents - 22.6 MB ( Needed for MCE / Tablet PC only )

- The Folder usb_cfg_extra provides scripts for BartPE Menu http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
For the Automatic Install of Programs after Install of XP from USB
we can use a script for the very handy Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI) http://wpiw.net/

- In WPI script there is the option to run SFC /purgecache which deletes the dll cache and
which is a very simple way to reduce the WINDOWS Folder Size by 360 MB
The Result is a XP WINDOWS Folder Size on Harddisk of only 785 MB inclusive all Updates.

- Supports Portable WinTools which run direct from GO-Menu button in a VISTA or XP environment
http://www.dirk-loss.de/win-tools.htm
http://users.pandora...USBMemStick.htm

- Direct Booting with MS-DOS from USB-stick with boot.ini Menu is prepared as follows:
You only have to add from Win98 MS-DOS BootFloppy the files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS to
the MULTI_CONTENT Folder and file COMMAND.COM to the folder DOS of the MULTI_CONTENT Folder.
These Hidden System Files are only visible in Windows Explorer after adjusting Tools > Folder Options

Run USB_MultiBoot.cmd and choose FAT Format with PeToUSB (max 2GB stick) and
Select Multi_boot.ini as boot.ini (option B ) and MULTI_CONTENT as Source (option 2) in the Main Menu.
The supplied config.sys of the MULTI_CONTENT folder regulates that for MS-DOS
the COMMAND.COM is found in the DOS folder so that confusion with FREEDOS is prevented.

- Direct Booting with FREEDOS from USB was Removed since there were too few cases successful.

- More Help with Bookmarks is available in the Help_Info Folder in USB_MultiBoot_10.zip

- Use of MultiBoot_10.cmd and everything in this Guide is COMPLETELY at your own risk.

What is a mask?



Essentially a mask is a grayscale bitmap image.The pure white areas in the image represent the portions of your original image that will be 100% protected. The pure black portions of the image represent the areas of your original image that are completely masked out, or erased. The levels of gray in-between allow your image to be partially protected. If you have trouble keeping track of which color does what, just think of masking tape to help you remember... masking tape is usually white or light colored, so the white areas of your mask are the most protected. Many image editing software allows you to save your masks as grayscale images so they can be used over and over again. On the following pages, I'll show you how you you can use any grayscale image as a mask in several popular image editors.

this is a mask

this is an image

this is an image with a mask

In the examples above you can see a mask and how it interacts with the image. Compare the masked image to the mask. Notice that the areas of white in the mask are 100% opaque in the masked image. The areas of black are 100% transparent. The gray areas softly fade away in partial transparency.

A mask does not have to be a separate image. Most software allows you to paint a mask directly onto your image. It works the same way... painting with black while in mask mode erases the underlying layer of your image, and painting with white brings it back. Shades of gray allow you to paint in partial transparency.

 When you're painting in mask mode, the mask is usually represented on the screen by a ruby overlay. The ruby overlay lets you see the mask represented by a reddish tint while still allowing you to still the image you're working on. Some software allows you change the overlay tint color. To the right you can see the same image used in the examples above with a ruby overlay. Transparency is indicated by a checkerboard pattern in image editing software; that's why you see the checkerboard pattern in this image.
