| IrfanView sucks |
| 2008-08-01 03:49:00 |
You're probably wondering, why the harsh title? Well, the program itself might not be so bad, and above all, it's free. I've been using it for a long time. IrfanView resized picture quality, however, is simply terrible no matter what settings I use. I got much better results when using other software to resize pictures or photos.
A good alternative is XnView - like IrfanView, it's a free multimedia viewer, and it allows you to view no less than 400 hundred graphics file types!

| Blogger is slow |
| 2008-05-09 14:54:00 |
Blogger has been painfully slow today. I also got a few 502 server errors again. Hopefully this is just a temporary problem. Well, I am sure they will fix it sooner or later, it's just that such problems seem to be more frequent lately. It's a free service so I don't expect it to be perfect, but I've come to expect only the best from Google :-)And man, the CAPTCHA code seems to become harder to recognize every day. I'm on my 7th try as I'm writing this.

| New music community |
| 2008-04-24 22:08:00 |
I just discovered a new site which is a blend between a social network and an online radio. It lets you to listen to streaming music for free, plus, it allows the artists to create their profiles, write blogs and such, and fans can leave comments and beg for a spot in the friends list of their gods (ah, the good times). The site is named Cyloop, and this is my Squidoo lens I'm linking to which contains the info I was able to find about this social network/music community.So, what's the big deal you say? It's true that there are many online radios (like the famous last.fm) but this is the first one that lets you connect with the artists (which many rabid fans will be happy about) and also create customized playlists and actually choose what exact tracks you want to listen to. Of course, there are the good old radio channels as well (Rock, Hip Hop, Dance, etc).Seems like this one has a potential to grow huge!

| Qassia - backlink building and ad revenue sharing |
| 2008-04-22 12:18:00 |
I have read about this new site on a Squidoo lens and decided to signup. Qassia proudly names itself an 'Intelligence Engine'; it's basically a collection of random pieces of information (they call them 'intel') about anything and everything - be it articles, guides, a few lines about your favorite pet, or even poetry. After you submit your 'intel', it will be screened and rated by other members, and then linked from your profile page. It will also be added to Qassia's directory, where people can find it when browsing the topics.Qassia offers two things to it's members: free backlinks, and ad revenue sharing. First of all, you can place a link to your sites next to each of your 'intel' pieces. It's a good idea to write an article and link it to your website which speaks about the same topi...

| Feedburner Sucks |
| 2008-04-18 15:21:00 |
Seems like a great tool to track your subscribers, as well as add other cool things to your blog, right? Wrong! FeedBurner has been down lately way to often, and if you have their FeedFlare added to your blog (a little neat script that adds automatic social bookmars to the footer of every post), it makes your blog load extremely slowly. It takes a few minutes for most browsers to 'realize' that the FeedFlare isn't loading and to stop attempting it. The end result is you loosing your visitors.Screw FeedBurner. In the ass.

| Another new blog |
| 2008-04-10 14:36:00 |
Ah, it seems I'm starting new blogs pretty often nowadays (even though it's only my second one). This time it's closer to the topic of Andrew Owns Agloco (making money online), but much more specific. Squidoography is my new blog dedicated to Squidoo social network that lets you build small, simple web pages on a specific topic, and make money from them. The idea is great: just write about anything you like (everyone's an expert on something, right?) and get paid for the visitors you get and the sales that your lens (that's what they call the pages on Squidoo) generates.With Squidoography, I will be tracking my progress by posting my monthly payouts, as well as sharing interesting ideas and reviewing my own and other interesting lenses. If you are interested in making money by writing abou...

| My new blog |
| 2008-04-04 07:05:00 |
I'm glad to say that after a long period of inactivity in this area, I finally started a new weblog! Following the 'blog about something you like idea', I thought, why not write about the MMORPG I'm looking forward to playing? Thus, my brand new Age of Conan blog was born. It is hosted by Blogger too, since I don't want to worry about server costs right now - only to post some of my thoughts about the upcoming game. Even if my new blog has a completely different topic from this one, I think several months of writing to Andrew Owns Agloco was a great and educating experience (seeing how this was my first blog ever). Hopefully the things I learned will help me with AoCBlog too.I suppose I should tell you more about the game, too. Or not. You can find out everything if you just go to my blog,...

| Google's Blogger and GMail down |
| 2008-03-08 15:59:00 |
Well, apparently the great Google isn't immune to errors either. For the last hour or so, my blog was down - I was getting the 502 error. I've seen some people reporting the same errors with their GMail accounts and such.This is by no means a complaint. Blogger.com is, in my opinion, the best free, hosted blogging platform. They let you park a domain, they let you add ads, they allow adult content if you're into this stuff - all this for free, and you don't have to worry about server costs, huge traffic spikes from Digg and such, etc.As for the recent downtime and server error 502, I believe there should soon be a post on Blogger Status about this.

| Come, join the debate I started |
| 2008-03-05 17:54:00 |
As I posted earlier, I'm a member of a cool social networking site called Squidoo. They already paid me more money than Agloco ever did (LOL). It's a great social network; I have fun creating lenses (as long as they don't crash, which regrettably happens as well). Recently they gave me this cool badge for getting my debate lens in top 50:It's about the eternal question of who would win in a fight: a pirate or a ninja. Please join!

| Come on, have a go! |
| 2008-02-18 11:51:00 |
I think I'll let people have a go at Agloco, especially those who never believed it would succeed in the first place. Post a comment, say "told you so!". Bet it will feel kind of good to be right.
