DIY Wordpress HACK - Upgrade from WP-Cache and Get WP-SuperCache for your Wordpress Blog

Posted in Blog, Web, Wordpress by max on the December 9th, 2007 at 3:29 pm

I was moving Bedzine, Keetsa, Sleepzine, Mattresszine, and Wagg.It to another server the other day and my WP-Cache kept stallin’ on me so I looked up go Google for a newer version. I found WP-SuperCache which is simply built on top of WP-Cache. Basically, the difference between the two is that the WP-SuperCache also creates a permanent page for pages that have no comments. There are some functionalities such as Lock-Down to help your server from going down in case you get Digged, Stumbled, or Slashdotted.

BTW, don’t use Aplus.Net for dedicated hosting, they had a downtime of almost 5 days! That’s worse than any shared hosting I’ve tried. The funny part is that, all our websites were down but Aplus.Net’s homepage wasnt’t. It explains how they prioritize their customers below their revenue. I’ve had similar experience with Cari.Net, our current host. But when our sites when down, their homepage went down too. Which makes another reason for them to make sure their servers up again. The downtime with Cari.Net wasn’t more than couple hours so I figure it was time for switch to Cari.Net and stop dealing with Aplus.Net. (Think about the time I wasted in moving those websites, changing DNS for the domain names, trying to cope with the new server enviroment. It’s headache and I am glad it’s stopped and our servers are purring.) We’ve got 3 dedicated servers now to run all the websites, costing us an arm and a leg every month. Order a review and help us keep this site live.

Download WP-Cache here:

Download and Install

  • Remove any existing instances of WP Cache, as WP Super Cache is a drop in replacement. Don’t forget to delete the files wp-content/advanced-caching.php and wp-content/wp-cache-config.php.
  • Download the newest version of the WP Super Cache plugin from the WordPress.org plugin db and follow the instructions contained in the readme.txt file. If you have installed WP-Cache before this shouldn’t be any more difficult.
  • After installation, go to the WP Super Cache options page and set your desired cache time.

Scooting about on a Stand-up Trike

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Design, Entertainment, Gadgets, Motor, Travel by max on the December 9th, 2007 at 1:39 pm

Scooting about on a Stand-up Trike

Wow, check out this nifty Stand-Up Trike, tight! Will they send us a sample? (We will give it out as a prize if they do.)

Stephan Soder came up with the idea as a way to pull himself along while wearing rollerblades. He built the first one in his garage with a small petrol motor.

The commercial version is called the Easyglider X6 which riders can use with a skateboard or roller-blades or stand on a two-wheeled rear platform.

It features an electric-powered front wheel, a handbrake, a headlight, and three power levels. Optional extras include a music system, complete with a pair of mini speakers.

To use the Easyglider, you simply turn it on, stand on the platform and twist the throttle.

But the price may prove too much for some. It sells at £699, with a kids’ version available for £399.

Why BlogRush will die and EntreCard will exponentially grow!

Posted in AOL, Blog, Business, Business Ideas, Entrepreneurs, Google, Social Networking, Web, Wordpress, Yahoo by max on the December 9th, 2007 at 1:14 am

Here’s a quick post I did on the Net: (Digg It) Reason for this? I feel bitter about BlogRush about them saying crap about how people are cheating and on top it, I like this Graham Langdon guy, he’s a nice guy and a gentlemen.  They are also giving out some free ads so why not enter?

I have been keeping a keen eye on the new project by creator of Million Dollar Wiki, Graham Langdon. His new EntreCard, a free widget for bloggers, allows bloggers to advertise and trade 125×125 pixel ads for free. The above is a Alexa web traffic charts comparing BlogRush and EntreCard. As you can see, BlogRush did get MASSIVE traffic in the beginning and slowly on its way downhill. On the other hand, EntreCard started very very SLOW, and seems to have caught up with BlogRush already. Once EntreCard gets out to even more bloggers, the viral effect will cause EntreCard to exponentially grow. Am I an EntreCard evangelist? Hell yes, because it’s a great advertising system built on great functionalities unlike BlogRush.

Why BlogRush will die and EntreCard will exponentially grow!3

Now, you can see a close-up of what’s been happening between EntreCard and BlogRush in the last 4 weeks. I bet it won’t be more than 2 weeks before EntreCard eclipses BlogRush. What will happen to BlogRush? It will probably die and suffer massively while EntreCard “converts” BlogRush users to its own.

If you are a blogger and haven’t tried EntreCard, try it today. Our card is the one with One Buck Wiki and EntreWiki so, drop us a card!

Telling the time is a skill that needs to be mastered, but could be better when you have some people round and they ask what the time is. This arty type clock will confuse and humiliate them into submission.

How to spot a fake

Posted in Business, Computer, Consumer, Games, Household, ps3, wii by david on the December 8th, 2007 at 8:00 am

With so much fake stuff around could you tell the difference between to real thing and the wrong thing?

fake games

In this image the fakes are pretty easy to spot, but with a bit of cosmetic sorting out then it may be impossible to tell for some people.

However these games consuls only work out at around $3 at wholesale, so they are hardly going to be of the same quality as the real thing anyhow and you only get what you pay for.

Now this is what every blogger needs for motivation and if successful for showing off purposes too.

hitcounter

Once wired up this old time bell will ring every time your blog gets a hit, it will either make everyone jealous or embarrass you to hell.

Whatever the reason, it a cool thing.
