Researching Online Casinos

Leave a comment

Although the economy is said to be rather weak and most people are cutting down on expenses where they could, more people are flocking to play casino online. I know my friends are. I know I am. We do so because we are not willing to spend extra money traveling and playing in a land casino. Playing in an online casino would provide similar ambiance and thrill of winning.

The problem with playing in an online casino, though, is to look for a casino which we would be comfortable playing in and investing considerable time and money, even if it’s just pure entertainment. That’s why I always insist that we make a research first and read up on casino reviews particularly on these online casino ratings from reputable casino reviews and news websites or blogs.

It does not matter what game we play, whether it’s Roulette, Slots or Texas Holdem; whether we play the free games or for real money. If we plan to play, we plan to win. So go through the casino game guides and check up on casinos that offer the highest bonuses from websites like Online Casinos Directory. If you want to be in the game, you must be in the loop. What say you?

Blogging Dedication

Leave a comment

Just now, I suddenly remembered that I have not been getting any alerts of new posts from a blog that I am subscribed to. Actually, it has been a long time but I just did not miss it.

Out of curiosity, I went to check out the blog of this blogger just to see if he is blogging, maybe on another blog, but no, the most recent post is dated July.

I remember that when this guy just started a blog, he said that he wants to fit at least three posts per day. I thought that is pretty dedicated to him to do so. I mean, I have published more posts per day before but that’s another issue all together.

Now that he has left the blog idle for more than a month, I think that it reflects badly on his company. Yes, it’s a company blog where the blogger blogs about news, information and case studies.

Shopping For Cell Phone Accessories

Leave a comment

Do you remember that I wrote about my cousin who has plans to study in a college in KL? Well, he finally left home. I gave him my spare cell phone. I actually was a little reluctant to part with it because I won it in a contest a few years ago so it has sentimental value to me but since I wasn’t using it anymore, I might as well let someone else make use of it.

The thing is that although the physical condition of my cell phone is very new since I only used it for a year and kept it in my drawer for three years, in cell phone age, it is considered old. My cousin had a difficult time buying accessories for it! You know how kids are. Even though I gave him the complete set, he still felt the need to accessorize it. Perhaps it’s a sign of laying claim on it or something.

Besides the fact that it’s an old model, Alcatel cell phones aren’t popular here, unlike Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Samsung. Accessories for such brand names are aplenty and priced competitively as well, unlike cell phone accessories for Alcatel. Luckily, my cousin still managed to get what he wanted so he was very happy.

IP2Location: IP Geo-Location Technology

Leave a comment

Although I have been a blogger and website owner for some years now, I never really bother with checking up the IP Address of my users. I know that there are a few really good free tools that allow us to do so easily but I don’t have the need for them. My friend told me that I should keep these tools handy, just in case.

IP2Location is a tool which allows us to check up on the IP addresses of any internet user. The difference between IP2Location and other similar tool is that IP2Location is really detailed. Besides the usual location, time zone and ISP, IP2Location would also be able to provide you with information on Latitude and Longitude!

The new DB15-DB18 packages would even, amazingly, give you information on IDD and area codes, weather station name and code too! Now, I seriously do not know why anyone would need this information but you can check out the free demo at http://www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx

As a webmaster or blogger, you could grab one of those free tools found on the demo page and place it on your site to provide a free service to your browsers. To do so, just copy the code and paste it in your template. Isn’t that cool?
