Recently, I have been trying to come up with really catchy domain names. Unfortunately, the good ones seem to have been taken already. It seems that I am always late. There was one really good one that I wanted and I checked that it was just registered last month! Bah.. I was so pissed off. I actually already had an idea to set up a blog of that niche, in fact, it’s just moving from a free hosted blog to self-hosted blog but I did not have time to get down to it and so I missed the chance of registering for that domain name.

Oh yeah, the reason that we should get a dot com instead of dot something else, is because there is a shortcut key on the iPhone which saves time in typing out your web address on the iPhone as opposed to another site which has a dot net or dot info (increasingly popular, this one!).

You might say that we can bookmark our favourite sites but then I surf to a lot of sites that are not fit to be seen by others and I normally clear my cache after surfing. If not, it would be very embarrassing if people see an iPhone and wanted to try it out. LOL

See, I told you I have the weirdest logic didn’t I?

A friend of mine is unemployed and I wondered aloud how he could manage to support himself. He told me that he is a professional gambler, but not the glamorous type who travel from one world class casino to the next gambling extremely high stakes. He is the type who sits in front of the computer, logged onto one casino portal or another. Wow… I did not know that people could make a livelihood out of it but apparently it is possible.

Betting is only part of his job. My friend says he spends a considerable amount of time researching for the best online casino, comparing bonuses, reading reviews on online casinos from professional gamblers and at the same time reading up on how to improve his gambling skills.

X-casinos.com is one such review site that is very helpful to people like my friend who need to do their research in the most efficient and time-saving way. This website presents everything related to online casino and gaming in user-friendly way.

Yes! I just did it today. I know it’s no big deal but I was adamant not to join it because to me, it is just another social networking portal and I think that I have registered myself with most of them. If they had baited me with iPods and laptops like what Next 2 Friends are doing then I would have registered in a heartbeat but no, we have build our profile up.

The reason I joined Facebook, was because I thought there was an iPhone users’ club but in fact it was an application for iPhone users to log into Facebook via the iPhone. Bah….. that is what I get for not reading properly.

You can say that I was “tricked” into registering but now that I am there, I am sure my friends would be happy to see me around. BUT, I still maintain that Facebook is nothing extraordinary!

Guess what? This morning, I discovered that Alexa redirect was not working so I went around my blogs editing my URL for all my blogs so that “clickers” will not get a dead link and close the window instead of deleting the redirect themselves.

Bah… I really hate the extra work but then I was rather free this morning and it was also high time I deleted some of the other links that were on my sidebar so it was a welcome break from blogging.

I wonder how long the redirect was broken, causing me to lose cross traffic. I guess now with the redirect taken off, it would be better in the long run except that it will not help me lower my Alexa ranks.

This is one of the reasons I never use short URL. Once the server is down, your site will be inaccessible as well, even though your site is actually fine, but who, using your short URL, could reach you? Hah…. no more Alexa redirects from now on!

A couple of days ago, I was just chatting with a friend about how many people are in a bad financial shape and they blame it on the evils of credit cards. Well, it’s all because of the mismanagement of the credit cards, which is like a cash card, actually, that causes many people to be in a financial fix.

This makes it difficult for people to get a loan but if you are in such a position, fret not because there is a great resource site which you can refer to for all your bad credit loans!

If you think that a person who has bad credit should not even think of applying for a loan then you are wrong because with a loan, and paying it off on time without default, is an excellent chance for credit repair. This is the same as getting a bad credit credit card.

If you are looking for a bad credit loan or bad credit credit card, then check out this comprehensive resource site for all your bad credit needs.

Recently, I was discussing with a friend how one of the websites that we frequent has been suffering from server bandwidth [mis]management. I bet that they are losing business due to that from frustrated site visitors. This is one of the reasons why multi-wan Internet load balancing is so important, especially to an internet company.

Now, if your network is also suffering from something similar, why not boost your performance with The EDGE platform that is being offered by XRoads Networks? This company says that by using The EDGE, a platform that aggregates the different broadband connectivity up to a maximum of six providers, giving you 99.99% uptime and faster speed without the extra cost.
