Turning Around

This year my business is really starting to turn around. It could be that I know can give free AdWords coupons valued at $100.00 a peace. Or it could be that when I was with my GF we used to go out a lot. Which ended up with me actually meeting people. Yet another thing that could be helping my business is the fact that I have written up a resume and submitted it to several sites. Either way I’m getting more and more people contacting me about my services.

 

Liars

I really hate them. And my ex girl friend is great at it. She calls the police on me for changing her passwords, after me telling her I didn’t do it. She really believes I would do stuff like that. She believes it so much that I start to believe that I did do it. However a merical happened the third time she accused me of changing her passwords. I was working at the point in time she was accusing me. In fact I was working the entire time that night. This assured me she was full of shit. Because I had proof of what I was doing. And the my client was going to pay me for the work the next day.

Then of course she accuses me of tampering with her bank accounts, yada yada and other stuff. Of course we are now broken up. However we had agreed to cooperate with the sites I was working on with her. She was going to pay me $20.00 a month for maintaining the sites. A week before my payment she made a whole bunch of request for me to do for the sites. Then on the day of her payment she calls me. I however missed the call. It went to voice mail. A few days later I hear the voice mail. And call her back. She denied ever making the damn call.

Listen carefully. She is diagnosed with Schizo Effective disorder. Trust me don’t mess with her. I’m not saying everyone with this illness is like this. But she definitively was. And she also was extremely abusive.

I’ll you this I love having proof. Which something that she will never have since she makes it all up. Below I have attached recordings of messages as well as a recording of her denying the fact that she called me. A you’ll her her accusing me yet again that I changed her passwords.

Peace of Shit Card

On the fifth of April I got very interesting peace of postal mail. This peace of mail came with a brand new Master Card with my name on it. It appeared to be legit. And to my knowledge it was legit. I never applied for a Credit Card and had no interest in applying for. The card was issued by a company called netSpend.

I held off on getting it activated until just recently. Why well because mainly because I didn’t have the time. However I also found it kind of rude and very unprofessional for a company to send a card out like this. Yeah I know these companies already have enough information about everyone and their brother to do such things. But their is still a such thing as respect. Them issuing me a card like this is pretty much throwing in my face that you know enough about me to just be able to approve me of this card.

To make it even more disrespectful when I went to call the number on the card I got the usual automated voice system to walk me threw the process of setting the card up. The automated system wasn’t the thing that was disrespectful though. It was the fact that the system requested for my full social security number. This to my knowledge isn’t usually asked in this manner. It usually is asked in the credit card applications. Their was no way that I would give this information in this manner without doing a little research. A quick Google Search showed numerous fraud results.

After visiting the netSpend site which looks legit to people who don’t pay attention, I noticed that yes they do have security certificate for the site. But it is not trusted. My chrome browser showed the HTTPS with little red strike threw it. Warning me that something might be not so good with the security of the site. And this was finances we are talking about. They need to be on their game with this.

I do believe that company is trying to be legit. However I believe their is to many unhandled security issues with netSpend. Everyone knows I will be the first one to help support a new company. But if I’m going to support a new company they better have their game together which netSpend doesn’t. Many people recommend destroying the card. I figured I would simply use my Magnetic Stripe Reader/Writer to clone one of my other cards with it. So now my card is activated. Well kind of. It is actually simply a card the looks feels and everything else like a netSpend Card. However to card swipers it looks like my trusted Debit Card that I got from my Trusted Bank.

Scrambled Tofu Recipe

Few people know that I actually grew up as a vegetarian. Okay well not quite. My father was pretty damn close to a vegan, back in his good old hippy days. Then he met my ma who grew up eating meat. My mother started to get him to some meats. Such as Eggs and Milk. Which pretty much I grew up eating pretty much vegetarian foods. Not only this when I was younger I had a strange reaction to milk. I would get really bad ear ales.  Yeah I grew up nice. But of course as kid it really doesn’t seem nice. I always wanted the real cereal instead of the health food imitation stuff that can be only be found in the health food stores. Of course now a days I actually like the taste of those cereals better then the so called real cereals. Any how I currently live on my own. However I still pretty much live a health food semi vegie life style. Yep I remember my first ham burger. Of course you would to if your first hamburger was a year ago that your girl friend convinced you to try.

Okay any this blog is about my scrambled tofu recipe. I wanted to post the recipe because I had mentioned it to someone on Facebook. So here it goes.

Ingredients.

Pound of Tofu

Fresh Garlic

Fresh Onions

Green Pepper

Coriander or Turmeric (Their the same thing. Just depends on which calture uses it. This is also optional. However I use it because it gives the tofu a yellow color making it look like scrambled eggs)

What ever other vegies you want

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (You can use any oil if you want, I simply just don’t ever get anything less then Extra Virgin)

Okay so grind the Garlic Cloves up

Dice the Onions and Peppers

Hand mash the Tofu. You can dice it. However it wont resemble scrambled eggs as much.

On a medium low flame put Olive oil in a pan. Then throw in the Garlic, Onions and Peppers. When they start to brown throw turn the flame to medium and throw in the Tofu. Sprinkle the Tumeric on the Tofu until the Tofu becomes Yellow texture. Keep stiring. Then when the veggies look cooked to your liking you can serve the Tofu.

This would probably serve a good two or three people or just single Big Ben.

Enjoy ;)

Thoughts on PTC

To be honest with you the idea is intriguing. The thought of making money by simply looking at some websites is cool. Their are however things that may cross your mind. Such as how does it work?. Why would people pay for someone to simply look at a website. How can anyone make money buy paying someone to look at your website.

Well here are some of those answers. Looking at the PTC programs out there. You need to look at them as a broker. Because that is exactly what they are. Startup companies are desperate to get good rankings in search engines. And they have heard that traffic brings their ranks up in search engines. So their goal is to get high up in search engines to one day achieve paying customers. This is the whole idea behind Google AdWords.

Google AdWords is program by Google that allows companies to make ads and then bid on them. The more money you spend on an ad, the better results you will get. Google then has seperate program connected to Google AdWords known as Google AdSense. Which is for people who want to make money from Google. In this case Google is now the broker.

 

Google lets you put the same ads the the people have created and are paying for on AdWords onto your website. When someone clicks on one of those ads you get paid a portion of what Google gets paid by the advertiser. I know it sounds to simple to be true. But it’s true. And some AdSense users make millions this way. Your probably thinking that you could just sign up to Google AdSense and start clicking on Ads yourself and make money that. This is called click fraud and can violate the TOS of Google AdSense. If Google finds that you have done this you will be banned from Google AdSense. Trust me it happens all the time.

Other companies have gone a separate route in preventing click fraud. To prevent it they simply encourage you to click on such ads. This is where PTC (Paid To Click) comes in. I think more and more companies are turning towards this solution. Mostly because they are assured traffic, and prices are a little more of a fixed price. Not so much of a bid and a gamble.

Now their is money in such programs but don’t expect to quit your day job. And of course who really would expect to make a living off of doing pretty much nothing except for looking a a few websites for a few seconds every day. However looking at it as though it is in fact that simple. Making a little bit of extra cash for doing something a 2 year old could do is not bad.

Now choosing the right program can be difficult. There a several programs out their that do these the PTC programs. Such as Clix Sense, Neo Bux and Two Dollars A Click

You can if you wanted to sign up to each one. Keep in mind that all of them have a payout minimum. So you have to make a certain amount before you can start spending your money. Not only that but they all have limited amounts of ads. This is because the concept is still fairly new, And not that many people have started advertising in this manner. So you most likely will spend about 10 minutes every day for several months before you can get your check.

Clix Sense you can make up to 2 cents per click. But most of the time you will make $0.001 cents. Which is only a fraction of a cent. The payout minimum for Clix Sense is $8.00 for direct Deposit and $10.00 if your want a check mailed to you.

Neo Bux you get paid about the same amount per ad. With the same Pay Minimum.

 

Two Dollars A Click is obviously the the eye catcher in this list. The name it’s self says it all. You get paid $2.00 for every single click. But their is a catch. The payout minimum is $2000.00 for free customers. And free customers only can view 10 ads every day. So every six months you pretty much get $2000.00 dollars for just spending a few minutes on your computer doing pretty much something anyone with pulse can do. Not bad if you ask me.

VPS and Key Loggers

Well I’ve been keeping my self pretty busy lately. Since Friday I’ve been writing a Key Logger for *Nix based systems. True their are already some out their. But this takes it to a whole new level. This logs Key Strokes. Logs what programs have been running. And takes screenshots every so often. It then zips the information up and sends an E-Mail or uploads to server via SSH or FTP.

True a *Nix expert will know how to detect such things. But an average person wouldn’t.

Another thing I’ve been working on is VPS. I figured it could really benefit my business if I offered VPS hosting. Plus I had really great idea which requires the use of VPS.

Most hosting companies that offer VPS Hosting use VMWare which can be quite pricey. In my case I love VirtualBox despite the limitations it has over VMWare. And now that VirtualBox can be controlled in CLI 100%. This makes it great chance to use it for a VPS solution.

If I do decide to offer VPS solutions. Prices should be extremely cheap. Starting as low as $14.00 a month for a Linux plan. $16.00 a month for Windows Plan I haven’t decided if I should offer a BSD or Solaris plan yet.

Applying For A Job Is A Job

You know people who really are determined at getting a job, show it by doing job searches.

I can understand how people could spend more then 40 hours a week looking for a job.

It is hard work. To bad you don’t get paid for doing it.

New Tech Me Out blog

Okay earlier today I just wrote a new Tech Me Out blog. This blog talks about Web Bot.

Started New Project Today

I started working on my new project which I’m calling for now Net Kit. Pretty much what it is, is Live CD for Web Developers. It will have quite a few web browsers to view sites. FTP Client for uploading content to a server, Web Site building tools, and other stuff.

Stem Cell Research Thoughts

Okay so today was reading something about a man who got cured from AIDS from the use of Adult Stem Cell Research. I’ve heard a lot of things about both Embryonic and Adult Stem Cell research. However the fact that someone got cured from AIDS with Adult Stem Cells made me wander. Before I started Googleing I decided to think of why and how Adult Stems could do this.

I never gave it much thought. But after thinking about it, it started to make more sense. Lets look at this for second. Yes Embryonic Stem Cells may be very flexible to manipulate. Because they are not fully developed. However the fact that they are easy to manipulate brings the possibility of being manipulated again, causing them to break down and a potential of making the illness even worse then it was before.

I began to think about the age old talks about how children are empty vessels waiting to be filled. This is why children can learn much better then adults. Of course this also leaves children more vulnerable to brain washing and mind control. You always find that thick headed or suborn people are adults.

We can apply the same logic with Stem Cells. It is a proven fact that as you get older your body works up more and more immunities. A good example is catching a cold. No one ever catches the same cold twice. This is because our bodies work up immunities to them. The reason we always get colds is because their are so many types of different colds out their. And our body has to work up immunities to each one.

Knowing that as we get older we adapt and become less vulnerable to certain illnesses, it makes sense the Adult Stem cells could work have the possibility of working if not as well then better. Of course I’m not a scientist, and I’m just stating my observation. So I decided to do a little Googleing to see what has been shown to work better.

I came crossed a lot of right winged political bullshit. I also came a crossed a lot of left wing bullshit as well. For Christ sake I was looking for something in the name of Science, not religion or politics. However I did find out some interesting details.

I never saw anything explaining that Adults work up immunities and are less likely to fall victim to manipulation. However I did find that their are many more success stories with Adult Stem Cells then their are with Embryonic Stem cells. In fact in 2008 it was recorded that no one was cured of anything with the use of Embryonic Stem Cells ever. However 77% of patents who have received Adult Stem cell treatment have gotten cured.

I did come a crossed a flip side though. Because the Embryonic Stem Cells are in fact easy to manipulate, their have been more discoveries on what can be done. An Embryonic Stem Cell can be have many more possibilities on what it can be used for, and can be changed more often with lots of ease.

So I have come up with a what ever you want to call it. It works like this. Embryonic Stem Cells would be a great place for studies. Due to the fact of how easy it is to control the Stem Cells. However when using Stem Cells for an actual cure maybe it is better to go with Adult Stem Cells.

That’s just my two sense.
