An Indian Truck

I'd like to tell everyone who's planning for visiting India, if you see something like this anywhere near you, the first think you do, is jump and hide to a safer place. Keep at least 2 Km distance. They are noisy, throw tons of carbon deposits on you and may run over you and never look back.

A Super cool haircut!

I was on my way somewhere and at a road signal, I saw this awesome haircut, I'm sorry Mr. cool haircut, but i had to take a picture from my digital cam which i luckily had in my pocket and i  have to put this on my blog!

How to make your own website include domain name in 50 rupees only!

Did you ever wanted to have your own space on the internet? Where you could tell your friends to come read your posts, leave comments, discuss and more? Here's how you can get a yourself a website in just Rs. 50.
The first thing you need to set up your own website is a name for it, a domain name:
A domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control on the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).
This where you have to spend your 50 Rs. no where else, You can get your domain name from godaddy, link below:






Once there, search for any name you want and in the drop down list of domain extensions which in default is (.com) select .info
That's it, along with your domain name you get an email address, a free web hosting account, blog account and a lot more!
Hosting at Godaddy:
The next step would be to decide whether to host your website on either godaddy or others.
There are many options here, you can select to host your website at the free 1gb Hosting that godaddy provides but there's a catch, there's always a catch with free things. When you use godaddy's free hosting, godaddy will add a advertisement on the top of your website, which doesn't really create a good impression.
You can get rid of this advertisement by using this method at hacktoria which involves inserting a small script after the html tag in your web code.

Blogger :
Another way would be to map your blogger blog to your domain, its a easy process of changing your Cname's and Aname's in the domain control center in godaddy. Don't get scared of these terms they're pretty easy once you get across them. See the whole procedure of setting your blogger blog here. You will get rid of the ".blogspot" in your blog after you do this, then put up a nice looking blogger template and you've got yourself a website. You can also get rid of the favicon and add your own custom image there, which i will be covering later.

Ad-free Hosing:

You can also host your website at any ad-free hosting services, i came across freehosting and i found it pretty good. They also provide mysql and php, necessary to install joomla/wordpress and many others.

Google Sites:
linking up your website with google sites is also another option, Google Sites is a free and easy way to create and share webpages. Linking it with your custom domain name, you will get rid of the ".googlesites.com" extension.

I would recommend using Joomla ( Content Management System ) if you're thinking of creating project websites, Wordpress ( For personal websites/blog ).

So go ahead and get your name out there!

Tried and tested ways to earn online :

It sounds easy, earning money online, but it does take a considerable amount of patience to earn $ from the internet. Most companies advertise telling you that you'll earn money doing the tasks you do daily, but a large portion of the make money online web sites end up fooling you.
So i decided to give it a try, I've tried a lot and here's what i think of earning money online. Earning online include ways like paid to click, paid to surf, paid to review, paid to socialize, the list goes on.

New Sites: On most of the surf exchange websites, you'll come across attractively advertised money making schemes, when its a new website never think of investing in it. I've not invested in a single website just to check.
Bookmarking helps a lot I mostly use firefox where i place shortcuts to the many websites so i don't forget any.
Out of all the sites I've tried till now most of them (new) paid me once and at the most thrice, but after than they tend to loose their stability. Most end up with a ddos attack, database corruption, which is subjective, but that's how i would size up the new comers in the online money making biz.

Old sites: There are many old players out there, these are reliable and will pay you. What you need in order to get a big amount from these websites is patience, marketing skill, and a hell lot of friends who will join under you.

Here's a list of web sites which I personally think are reliable and will pay you. You must have a paypal account, lots of time and patience.
Mylot: Answer questions, discuss, ask questions and earn. Payout at 10$

Easy Hits 4 U: Surf websites, convert credits to cash/ put up your website and get hits.


Neobux: Click on links and earn. (limit of 4 links per day) payout at 2$ increases by 1$ at every payout.

Winnla: Only at facebook, simply join, be fan of sponsors, submit tickets, get lucky!


Good luck making money online!

Review - Logitec Premium 4-Port Usb Hub

Logitec Premium 4-Port Usb Hub

Features :
Pc/Mac compability
4 ports (USB 2.0)
Powered
Lights(dedicated to each port)
Power Adapter

Why buy ?
Here are the various reasons why you would need this hub:
1> Need for extra USB ports on your laptop/computer.
2> Normal unpowered usb hub doesn't support some usb devices.
3> Your mobile studio workstation needs more ports (powered).

The main reason I got this hub was because it was powered, we get usb hubs for cheap but they use the power from the usb port its connected to and distributes it to the 4/8 ports. most of the usb devices work in this way, but some devices demand individual power, that's where a powered usb helps.
I wanted to connect my nano pad, bcf 2000, key rig, and a usb mic all at the same time.
that would need 4 ports, but I've got a hdd, a mouse, and a fan already connected to the 3 ports out of the 4 available ports on my laptop.
I tried using a normal usb hub when whenever I connected all of the midi controllers and the usb mic together two of them would abruptly shut off.

 

  

That's when i tried a 7$ chinese powered usb hub, this was a bad decision.
I got the logitec 4 port for about 30$ and it works wonders.
It includes a power adapter, and a usb connector. Some countries get a pouch too, I didn't get one.

Overall this hub is really good quality and has never let me down.

Here's an unboxing video:
