Check If A Page Is Really Down

October 20, 2009 Computeraholic 32 comments

I discovered a great page where you can check if a page is down for everyone or just you. This proves useful especially if there is no news on the page being down, like when Demonoid was down for a long time and there was no recent talk of what is happening to it. I didn’t know if it was just my country that was banned or if it was [...]

June 1, 2009 Blogaholic 50 comments

Okay, this may be too early to rave on this new widget, since I have only tried using it [...]

I was getting tired of my XP looking like an XP, so I looked around for MAC OSX themes that will bring out the MAC in my XP. Tee hee. So what once was all black is now all white :angel: . Admittedly, what little transformation that has been done will never compare to “the real MACcoy”. Hah. I’m so great with words :tongue: . Anyways, the first step was to [...]

Where To Promote Your Website For Free

March 22, 2009 Blogaholic 36 comments

I am a relatively new blogger. Started blogging with Friendster a couple of years back but slacked off due to lack of time (okay, readers). Been blogging steadily for only half a year now, and was at first overwhelmed by the wealth of information that I need to take in so that my first site would at the very least have a decent number of visitors, enough to keep me [...]
