YaBB

Posted on by LiNuX

YaBB is a forum content management software (CMS) that is pretty secure and easy to use. My gaming forum used to be a YaBB forum but before I tell you about that you have to know what it stands for. YaBB stands for Yet Another Bulletin Board and it is correct, there are litterally over a 100 different types of forum softwares out there and YaBB is yet another one.

YaBB uses the Perl computer language so it makes it much harder for hackers to hack. It is harder to code that php so it is less vulnerable to attacks. And its admin control panel is one of the easiest I have used so far. I have used it for my forum for about 5 months before switching to SMF also known as Simple Machines Forum. It is pretty safe but comes with a bad side of having not very attractive themes or skins. It has some pretty professional looking ones but those aren’t as good as SMF or phpBB skins. The modifications are also available but very scarce since Perl isn’t the easiest language out there. But if you want to try it out, you can always go ahead and see what I am talking about.

Filter Guide

Posted on by LiNuX

Filter Guide is a website out to help you protect your computer from spam, spyware, and viruses with their excellent softwares that includes anti-virus, anti spyware, and other internet security tools. There are many antispyware programs out there but very few of them can actually promise you safety and then deliver it to you day in and day out. Other programs just want to get downloaded and then benefit you for a few days that just start acting up.

Filter Guide gives you information and reviews on which programs out there will work for you and keep your computer safe from viruses and other malicious programs and scripts. Spyware usually come into your computer and just read everything and copy it then sends it back to its host. That can cause identity theft and it is currently one of the leading causes of identity theft in the world. So protect yourself and your computer.

Yahoo’s Index Rates

Posted on by LiNuX

People always argue that Google is the alltime best search engine in the world. Well I am not here to argue with that but I am here to talk about another huge search engine people tend to overlook for some reason. People don’t think that Yahoo! Search Engine is really that good but have you ever compared the search results of both Google and Yahoo? Yahoo seems to return more results and sometimes, the more results can mean that you found what you were looking for. Google tends to narrow down the search results on just a few sites.

Yahoo’s search results are good because the yahoo bots are more lively and they tend to Index a lot more pages from a site. By index I mean they enter it into the search engine so when you search a certain keyword, that site has a chance of coming up for that keyword. I have seen that with more than a few sites because yahoo returns about 3 or 4 times more backlink results than google ever has for me. Just a little tip for the next time you search.

Chat Line

Posted on by LiNuX

These days social networking sites just aren’t enough. If you haven’t noticed this already but sites like MySpace is really losing popularity. Xanga used to another social networking site and so did Sconex and where are they now? They lost too much popularity and people just stopped going on them. But now there is another way to meet people and make friends and it is much more interactive and it is called Chat Line.

Chatline on talk121.com allows people to chat on the phone and I’ve looked at the list of phone numbers and they are in about every state in the United States. Although it is just in the United States, it has a large memberbase and it shows popularity. If you want you can always get the free trial line that they have set up and see how that works out. Meeting people can be great because these people are your future.

iPod Nano – Next Generation

Posted on by LiNuX

THe next gernation of iPod Nano came out not too long ago and Apple is just getting better and better at making the product much smaller but much more better. Now it is almost half the size of the previous iPod Nano and holds about the same and double the space. The new nano can now hold videos just like a regular sized iPod video without the extra size.

You can get the new ipod at the apple store or anywhere else that sells tech products such as MP3 and CD players. The space on these can go from 4 gigabytes to 8 gigabytes. About double the space of my old version of the iPod nano and quadruple the space of the first generation iPod nano. Price is also cheap and affordable because price starts at just $149 for this new machine and makes it to many people’s most wanted list for gifts this coming holiday.

Cell Phone Plans

Posted on by LiNuX

When you see someone with a cell phone in their ear walking pass you the street, you can assume that there is a very high chance that person is on a cell phone plan. Cell phone plans just give you a certain amount of free minutes you get per month and along with extra features. Features such as this include voice mail, text messaging, roaming, internet, email, and there are certainly more features. These days most cell phone plans give you free voice mail and some sort of roaming time before you have to pay. My cell phone plan gives me both for free and I get it from T-Mobile. Since there are many cell phone companies out there offering you different services for different prices, it is always good to compare cell phone plans to see which fits you best and which is actually giving you the best deal.

Most cell phone plans come with a contract of one or two years. Unfortunately my cell phone plan comes with a two year contract and I cannot get out of it until it expires which still has about two years left. I have compared the plans before i went with anything. Well I have a family plan so I save a lot more getting the whole plan with my family. We get about 1000 free minutes per month and free voice mail along with free roaming. We never go above the given free minutes so we have nothing to worry about with the extra fees that come with extra minutes used. So also take a look at how much the company offering you service charges for minutes gone after the limit. Some may charge $0.15 and others may charge you as much as a $1 so be careful and read the whole contract and ask questions if necessary. You don’t want to end up.

You can check Wirefly’s Wireless Wizard on the internet because they list all the plans that will fit you for the price you need. And the best part is that they can find you plans that do not require yearly or even monthly contracts.

To Game Server Companies

Posted on by LiNuX

Well some of you may know this already but I am looking to rent a Counter Strike Game Server for my Gaming Forum. It is something special I would like to give my members in hopes to bring up more activity and popularity for the forum. The past few months I have been looking around and due to some trouble I couldnt get my desired server so I am still looking.

If you have a game server company that sells counter-strike 1.6 servers please comment here or message me on my forum. You can also visit our IRC channel on the GameSurge Network at #Gamers-Forum.

Thank you, all help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Dancing

Posted on by LiNuX

Dancing is a great way of exercise and people love to dance for fun. Dancing takes some great skills of balance, speed, and coordination. I have balance and speed but unfortunately, my coordination does not work well with my dance moves. I had this friend one time that wanted me to try different types of dancing such as salsa and the 40s beebop music. I had to say no of course because I am afraid of embarrassing myself with another thing. But if you are interseted you can get some dance videos at DanceCrazy.com. They have videos such as ballroom dance, salsa, foxtrot, swing, cha cha, and more.

That site did catch my attention since I didn’t know how some of these dance methods sounded. Merengue, Samba, Hustle, and Bolero were some of the new names that went into my head that has to do with dancing. Of course when I heard hustle dance, I thought of something completely different and if you live where I live, you would probably too. But anyway if you want to get some cool videos about dancing and learn how to do it yourself, you can always check that site and see what they can offer you. I’ll see if my crazy friend that wanted to get me into dancing is still here.

Payday Loans

Posted on by LiNuX

Payday loans are always tied in with short loans. Well by short I mean a small amount of money was borrowed and it will be paid back in a short amount of time. By short amount I mean usually within a year or two. Beyond 5 or more years looks more like a larger mortgage and it is usually something people take out for a car or house. Well Payday loans are common these days especially with small businesses.

Small businesses take out these small loans in hope to make their business a little bit better. If you own a small business or you just need a head start on that entrepreneur idea of yours, don’t be afraid to take out a loan on that and if you will be able to pay that loan back quickly and you are taking it out for a short period of time, you can call it a payday loan. I guess you can look at it as the way that you are getting paid on a friday night after work, it is a small amount and you paid back for it by working that whole week. Have an imagination for this and your ideas and plans will all come to life.

Credit Card on Bad Credit

Posted on by LiNuX

If you have bad credit, don’t worry because you are not the only one. There are probably over a million people with below average credit record in the United States. When it comes to getting a credit card, companies may give you a hard time or even refuse to give you a credit card after having a look at your credit report. They don’t trust people with bad credit as much as they do with people with good credit. But don’t worry about that because there are companies that offer bad credit credit cards.

Getting a credit card on bad credit these days isn’t as tough as it was a few years ago. Now credit card companies know and understand that loans and mortgages can land someone in debt thus affecting their credit score causing it to go down and drop down hard for some people. You can always do some research and see which companies are willing to work with you and for some more information, you can visit BadCreditOffers.com and see if they can offer you any assistance with your credit card issues.
