At the risk of sounding cynical, blogging for cash is low paying generic task (i hope not) , a field dominated by eastern Europeans in Europe and by various types of people in the United States (some times i think paid blogging should be shipped to a country with lower wages), but it does have its upside. Hosting and domain name registration gets paid for without much bother (gets paid for several times over), there are dozens of sites that offer blogging for cash services, from the ubiquitous and controversial payperpostto the extremely strict and high paying smorty, but there are dozens of other in the midrange, from those that pay (GASP!) one dollar for each post, to those that average 5 to 15 dollars per post

As with all blogs, this particular one is always seeking new ways of generating income (see all the lovely Google ad’s littering the environment), my self and Bayo finally hit on a genius idea, we get paid for blogging! so i (as the marketing side of our part time gig) delved into the risky and fast moving world of blog advertising, a much maligned and relatively easy going task (i hope) and one of the blogs we ran into was blogvertise, now why would we pick blogvertise over sites such as pay per post and review me, well…we are not. the geniuses that do blog advertising seem to

Laptop Batteries at Factory prices and Same Day Shipping!
I just have to vent on several products that are simply giving me nightmares in installation and maintenance, and the surprising thing is this is really pricey software, with prices ranging from 10k to 100k usd for an unlimited number of licences on a single network, but before i go into the problems i had with it (and a sensor with an 80 percent failure rate) let me describe an incredibly embarrassing incident that occured to me.

I have seen a lot of silly error messages, but this is the most hilarious so far. A colleague of mine tried to launch the installer/updater for Internet Explorer 7 on Windows Vista and got the error message shown below - Internet explorer is not supported on this operating system. I couldn’t stop laughing: IE7 installs even on Windows XP, and comes bundled with Windows Vista.

Three blue screen errors in one day is just too much. I visit a client who gets blue screen of death (probably due to a power surge and resultant corruption of boot files). Another one gets a random bluescreen error after installing yahoo messenger . And to cap it up, my PC decides to emit its own blue screen. I had to fix the client number one’s PC. Turned out that it just needed a disk check run on it

Yes. It’s that thing that is most likely to keep a network admin up at night or give him the horrors. Complaints from customer service, or clients themselves (who by some stroke of luck happen to have your mobile number) calling you at 11pm to say “Hey, I can’t connect to the net! what kind of internet service is this?” And you know straight away that either:

1. Power has failed and the man in charge of changing over to the Generating set has slept off
2. There is no more fuel in the Generator (oops! somebody’s going to get a query tomorrow)
3. A cable has slipped from its socket (almost improbable but possible. no problem)
4. Worst of all: your network hardware has failed!

If it’s number 4, you have to spring out of bed and get to the server room. Start tracing: is it the access point? is it the ethernet cable? is it the router? did a power adapter blow up?
