Maintaining a constant flow of posts on your blog

If you want to keep the money coming you have to keep the posts coming, that's the essence of making money from your blog. You can't expect people to come by regularly, read your thoughts, recommend you to friends  if you write an article a week or month. Practice shows that a constant flow of ar

Plan to do it right at least the second time

Wordpress's founder just turned 25. Imagine how many people got to do something in their early twenties that's being used by 80% of the product's target, bloggers that's it. I don't know anyone like that in person. Congrats Matt, but that's not what I want to write about in this post. I want to w

Sharing without a password in Windows Vista

One of the reasons people think Vista is a crappy operating system is the that they're used to Windows XP and can't do simple tasks they did before as Vista changed the placement of some functions and intoduced new modules, trying to be an easy to understand OS for beginners.

Information overload, a quick tour

Information overload, a quick tour

I've just accessed the Google Reader's trends page and saw that in the past 30 days I've read over 15.000 items in 148 subscriptions. And that's in a 30 days period when I didn't had access to Internet at least 10 days... That's a lot of news read, even if I just take a quick look at the title and s

Netbooks evolution in my vision

The "crazy idea" caught up people's attention and in less than a year every big notebook brand has it's own netbook in their own

Where is Formula 1 heading in 2009?

I'm not a big sports fan, but I always follow Formula 1 and a few other motor sports. As you probably know past years were not so good for Formula 1, as boredom ruled racing weekends, all thanks to new regulations that kept changing the rules of the game, hoping to revive the once legendary king of

You don’t need snow to make winter

Before I start it's best to mention that this is not a post about weather or  the current financial crisis. Now let's begin and explain what made me write the title above: I've seen this weekend a very good Science Fiction movie, a movie that doesn't rely on special effects, big cast and budget t

Why are people pirating software and games?

Why are people pirating software and games?

We all know piracy is bad but not many of us know why and what causes it. First of all people think piracy is bad because it's punishable by law and that's a pretty big mistake. I think piracy's main problem is that it hurts those who struggle to built software and games, and find themselves at the
