Everyone knows that, if you are to earn some decent thing from your blog (your hard work), just Adsense alone will not be enough. True, Adsense will do a considerable job, but there is a big earning potential with a good web site in-addition to the Adsense.

I recently came across a post at DigitalPoint, claiming to give an information about $ .30 -$ .50 per each visit. Knowing that most of such claims are rather exaggerations, I just followed the link, and, I think he was partially right. There is a possibility to earn for each visitor, but you can’t give a price yet as it claimed, because the programme is still not started officially. Still I feel the concept is promising and according to the site they already have 12,000 registered users with .5M web pages.

Pros:

• From webmasters point of view, there will be a guaranteed income for each visit (According to their website)
• Not that difficult to setup
• Can make an extra income with their refferal system (URL: http://www.sellingppp.com )
• minimum payout level is $25
• will not affect to the layout of the website because ads dont need visual prominence
• No Geographical limitation

Cons:

• Audio cannot be controlled therefore these adverts might disturbing
• Since these adverts uses audio as the medium, this might cause to distract users from your site.
• Still new concept and new company. Lot of uncertainty.

Conclusion:
If you use adsense/youtube, it will need lot of space as well as it will almost kill your layout (IMHO). And also this service guarentees something for every visitor which is encouraging. Therefore I would like to try it when it will launched from 1st Feb, 2008.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and the Bank of England finally made a move to help out banks over the Christmas and New Year period to head off problems that might result from a squeeze on the market markets as year-end approaches.

Access to wholesale money markets has suffered severe restrictions following the US sub-prime loans crisis and the run on Northern Rock, leaving banks strapped for cash.

Bank governor Mervyn King said: “Continuing fragility in the banking system suggests a risk that money markets will tighten over the end of the calendar year.”

The bank has offered £10bn of funds at 5.75% for a period of five weeks, beginning in the first week of December. That takes them to 10 January – through the festive period and beyond most financial year-ends – to enable them to get their balance sheets looking straight.

Mr King added: “We stand ready to take further measures to keep the overnight rate in line with Bank Rate.”

The current overnight rate is at 5.83% - not far above the 5.75% - but is likely to rise as the cost of longer-term funding has been on the rise. The two-month Libor (London interbank offered rate) went up again, to 6.65%.

Mr King said the £22bn secured loans – to date – to Northern Rock would not impair the Bank’s ability to provide liquidity to other banks if needed, and added: “We are keeping money markets under constant review.”

Chancellor Alistair Darling was pleased with the Bank’s move, and commented: “It is entirely the right thing to do.”

MPs were told by Mr King that while a period of high uncertainty lies ahead for the UK economy, he and the Bank be striving to smooth out any problems.

“Although the official estimates of output still indicate firm growth, surveys suggest the economy is starting to slow,” he said. The effects of the credit crunch remained far from clear, he added.

This is about the world map you will be seeing when you try to change the time on Windows XP (I think this is same with other Windows computers too. My Geography knowledge is not really good but I think it is good enough to spot a “newly created” gulfs and Islands on the world map because I have had my elementary Geography as everyone else, except some people at Microsoft. Either people who involved with this were too ignorant or they have no respect for geography at all when doing such thing (Although Microsoft’s Virtual Earth remarkable thing).

You can see many erreneous Geographical places on the above map (I have encircled few). And following the world map for your comparison. No wonder why many hates MS products !!!

Recently Google Inc. bought g.cn and it made a buzz about single letter domains again. I decided to do a research on single letter domains because there is not much has done regarding single letter domains and I thought it is an interesting subject for a blog article. ICANN is the responsible authority to issue the single letter domains and it is currently not allowed to issue single letter domains to any top level domains (.com, .net, .org). I tried to find any single letter top level domain and could find only four active domainss although some articles suggest it is six. These domains were allowed to continue, because, these were already registered when the restrictions to single letter domains were imposed.The list is as follows.

1. q.com (Redirect to quest.com)
2. x.com (Belongs to paypal)
3. z.com (Belongs to Nizzan - originally for Nissan z series cars)
4. x.org (Belongs to X organization Fondadtion)
and some articles say following two domains also issued, but seems not active.
5. i.net
6. q.net

I also checked for some country level TLDs, and interestingly only China (.cn) allowed single letter domain names. Following the list of single letter domains for .cn TLD. Non of the domains in above lists were possible to check for the owners because almost all whois databases are returning anything for these domains.

1. a.cn (not developed)
2. b.cn (Parked)
3. c.cn (parked)
4. d.cn (Mobile site)
5. g.cn (Re-direct to Google)
6. h.cn (password protected homepage)
7. j.cn (Developed site in chinese)
8. l.cn (parked)
9. m.cn (developed site in chinese)
10. n.cn (un-developed site with an image)
11. o.cn (developed site in chinese)
12. p.cn (developed site in chinese)
13. q.cn (developed site in chinese)
14. r.cn (developed site in chinese)
15. s.cn (developed site in chinese)
16. t.cn (parked)
17. u.cn (developed site in chinese)
18. v.cn (un-developed site with an image)
19. w.cn (Re-direct to Windows Live sugnup page)
20. x.cn (developed site in chinese)
21. y.cn (HTTP 200 response)

Following the analysis of the 21 .cn single letter domains.

01. Parked 04
02. Mobile platform (opens a wml file) 01
03. Not Developed 03
04. Re-direct 02
05. Password protected homepage 01
06. Developed 09
07. HTTP 200 (Probably not developed) 01
TOTAL 21

As you can see from the list, at least 12 domains are not using to its potential (And I am not in a position to tell anything about developed domains because those are in Chinese). As per the current market estimate, it is believed that a single letter domain is worth at least a six figure value. Yet, most of these domains are not utilizing at all or not utilizing to its potential (Eg. w.cn is used for the windows live registration form)

Recently my grand mother who was born on 1910, wanted to register with Facebook and asked my help with it. But it seemed as facebook thought my grand mother has nothing to do with facebook and not allowed to register using her real age. And the hilarious thing is she was asked to enter her real birthday and facebook is not willing to accept that, although 1910 was in the year drop-down list. My Grand ma insisting to register with facebook because all of her friends have profiles at facebook
So, I did a trick here. I made my grand ma a teen, and facebook took that without a problem. Finally everyone lived hapily ever after :)

In todays technical documents, articles and jargons you may have encountered countless times the terms Encoding and Encryption. Those are terms which automatically come to mind when we need to hide or conceal some document or source code. It is common to see most people are using Encryption and Encoding interchangeably. Then What is Encoding and what is Encrypting?Encryption

The process of converting information into a form unintelligible to anyone except holders of a specific cryptographic key.

Encoding

to change a message into symbols, as encode oral language into writing, encode an idea into words, encode a physical law into mathematical symbols.

So, according to above two definitions, we can see though it seems as similar at the first glance, there is a major difference between the two terms. Simply, Encryption (someone calls this encipherment) is something like making a secret letter by changing, swapping, or replacing characters in previously defined order (This can be called “the Key”). The ‘format’ of the message is not changed. this can be also called “ciphertex”.

When we do encoding, the format of the data is changed. For example when we record a voice sample, the recorder will encode the analog voice signals into difital sygnals and store. Here the format has changed. The encoded data is not necessarily a “secret” as we seen in the encryption.

Usage:
Encryption is widely using when security is matters. There are many methods for encyption but the widely used, most common, and most efficient Encryption method is called PGP (some called it Pretty Good Privacy). A good mysterious encryption which remains unsolved even for today can be found at nowhere other than CIA headquarters. [link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos ]

Encoding is widely used today in internet technology. For example When we want to use ‘&’ with urls we “URL encode” it to “%26″.

This is a common situation, hence I expect almost every developer has encountered this situation. Although IE can natively handle this without any problem (may be because IE’s integration with the Windows), Firefox seems having problem (?) with natively handling NTLM by default (NT LAN Manager) you can overcome this situation by making some changes.

1. type “about:config” (without quotes) in the address bar. (FireFox configuration page will appear.)
2.  type “ntlm” (without quotes) in the filter box.
3. Double click on the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris and prompt will appear.
4. type “localhost” (without quotes) in the prompt and press OK.
5. Now it should work

After the recent Pagerank update Vebguru.com has gained PR5 and I think that is a major improvement in terms of SEO. After all vebguru is still few months old, so this is a big thing. I am nor a SEO guru nor I did followed any extensive SEO methods, but I was generally aware about the technology and bells and whistles of SEO. So I didn’t forget to try one or two as always as when I get a chance. I think, my main contributor for the PR5 is my habit of commenting on blogs. I use search staus add-on along with stumble-upon tool bar. So I can easily spot a high ranking web page. I comment those page (Of cource my comments are always within the context of the article and I am trying to as informative or useful as possible)..but that was always a random process.

Other thing is my articles on the vebguru site, I first thought the subject I was writing on are not common and will not give any hits from google, but fortunately there was less competition for the words and the results is vebguru is getting more hits for ’strange’ search queries (ie. “moon phase actionscript”).
Other thing was the generous links I got from my friends, though none of those link is not over PR5, I know those links helped it well at the end.
Participation at more social networks also might help it, and I always used my signature with my URL.
So..The final thing is I have got PR5 this time, may be I am lucky or may be I am too smart ;), but I know the most difficult part is retaining or improving it after the next update. There are lot to do.

Recently I got a new PCP for my office (HP dc7700 form factor business PC) and I needed to install all the servers and applications with the new computer. Earlier configuring Apache, MySQL, PHP in a local computer was a somewhat tedious work, and it was not uncommon a simple mis-compatibility of versions, or simple error take your valuable day or two for tracing and correcting installation issue of your Apache, PHP or MySQL. This is not a big thing for an advanced user, but I know this is really a big issue for a beginner, because there are lot of posts in the help forums regarding installation issues.I have already heard about the XAMPP from Apache Friends, so I wanted to have a try on that this time. I downloaded the XAMPP installer, because I guessed that will be the easiest way of installing all these. It was a 34 Megs file but it included

• Apache HTTPD 2.2.4 + Openssl 0.9.8e
• MySQL 5.0.45
• PHP 5.2.3
• PHP 4.4.7
• phpMyAdmin 2.10.3
• Zend Optimizer 3.3.0
• 1.6.3 Patch

So literally it includes all the modules I will need. Though the download took sometime due to the large files, It is definitely worth trying because, the installation process was really went smoothly. I didn’t have to touch a single line to configure. All worked like a charm. So I think XAMPP is the best option for the beginner developers who want to install Apache, PHP, mySQL on the local server.

You can download the latest version of the XAMPP from here

Thank you Apache Friends for saving the day.
