Online Arcade Gaming Community - An Overview

Posted in Video Parlor, Internet Social Resources, Geek Stuff, Parlor Games & More by admin on the March 3rd, 2008

We continuously witness evolution of technology pertaining to hardcore graphic systems capable of rendering movie like graphics. Quite ironically, online arcade gaming has successfully weathered such changes.

One main contributing factor to such a success is the presence of a large number, all over the Internet, of dedicated communities that support arcade games. These communities conduct tournaments which carry big ticket prizes, for arcade games at regular intervals.

For example, Xbox Live organized a Pac-man championship in first half of year 2007 in New York. At stake were

* one of a kind Pac-man inspired Xbox 360 console
* 100,000 Microsoft points
* Pac-Man Live Arcade Trophy

There were nine finalists from nine geographical zones namely Japan, USA, Europe, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Canada and Mexico. Criteria for selection was scores of Xbox LIVE Arcade leader box.

You will be surprised to know that each of these communities is a well-knit unit and all the communities compete game genres as a single entity. Massive growth in the penetration of Internet has brought about a similar growth in the number of such communities. Another factor is the rise of a huge number of multi-player arcade games.

In a way, arcade games look like they are from another era, given the advances in gaming technology. Unless arcade gaming communities stay united, they will find it extremely difficult to survive intense competition.

Interestingly, we find that consoles and handheld devices are populated with arcade titles in big numbers. It could also be a reason for the growth in the number of arcade communities.

How to Solve Multiple Paper Loading Problem in HP5L and HP6L Laser Printer

Posted in Geek Stuff by admin on the February 21st, 2008

Have you ever encountered before the problem of having multiple paper loading in your HP LaserJet 5L and 6L? Do you know that this is caused by a defective separation pad where it’s rubber has worn out.

The function of separation pad is to control or allow paper to go through it, one at a time. If it spoilt, few
sheets of paper will be pulled instead of one whenever you send a printer command. This sometimes
will caused the papers to jammed up. For the worst case, it will spoil your heating/fuser sleeve. The
price of a heating element is more expensive than a separation pad.
There is one temporary way that you can use to solve the problem stated without buying a new
separation pad. The process of removing and changing the separation pad is just easy and fast.

Firstly, remove the rubber pad from the holder. Be careful while you’re removing because you might
torn the rubber into pieces.

Secondly, clean the holder to prevent any dirt or glue sticking on it. After
that, apply a small amount of super glue that is just enough to cover the full surface of the rubber pad.

Finally, reversed the rubber pad and stick it back to the holder. Please ensure that the surface should
face upward before you stick the rubber pad. It will work as good as a new one.

*Note: If you are servicing the printer for your customer, I’ll recommend you to replace a new one for them unless you’re maintaining and servicing your own laser printer.

Best Web Hosting and Blogging –Reviewed

I didn’t know how good it could be until I opened a new account with….

I had been limping along for a couple of years before I made my move. I was making money online but I was really doing too many time consuming tasks that I really didn’t want or need to be doing.

The learning curve was huge and it didn’t need to be. You see I tried to go the cheap route and I ended up spending time with tasks that were not relevant to my revenue model.

How much is your time worth?

Is there a big difference between $3.00 a month and $7.00? Yes at $3.00 dollars a month you miss out on more family time and revenue because you spend more of your time doing non productive tasks. Heck I blow more than $7.00 on coffee!

The difference is $4.00 a month WOW and that $4.00 a month investment turned into more profits and additional time to enjoy what I enjoy most my loved ones. Profits and time a great combination.

I come from a technical background. But after the move I realized that I didn’t need to work so hard at the hosting part of my business

  • The ease of servicing is very refreshing.
  • The pricing is great.
  • The uptime is great.
  • The available options are great.
  • Unlimited add on domains (when you grow you have the room)

Just having piece of mind and additional options to run my business make the pricing even more valuable. I now spend my time on more important events family, sharing with others and revenue building activities. I pay about $7.00 a month; well I pay by the year!

I host a several domains and now I can add more, my account comes with unlimited add on domains. More business more fun!

I know there are many different options out there for hosting and I will give MyHosting a HIGH rating. For the price I feel you can’t beat them.

My blogs are up and running and the setup was extremely easy. A couple of click and they were done. Blogs are fun and powerful tools. Do you have one you should?

Hosting has really showed me what a great hosting service is all about.

I only regret one thing I should have found them sooner.

Feel free to check out Best Web Hosting

This coupon was current at the time that I posted this use it and put your business on the fast track Coupon Code: hgc25. I saved a little under $10.00 using it.

After you buy at the Best Web Hosting come back and rate it for others.

Things to consider when buying a new computer

Should I buy Dell, HP or Toshiba?

What do you need to look for when buying a new PC? Should you look for the cheapest manufacturer, maybe something recommended by a friend? The only sure fired way is to do your research beforehand and buy for your basic needs.

There are so many brands available including Dell Computers, Toshiba, Acer and HP. All manufacturing a number of choices for desktop and laptop consumers. Use these steps to help you choose a manufacturer e.g. Dell

  1. Check the PC Magazine subscriber survey, published each July, for comprehensive information about reliability and customer satisfaction with individual brands.
  2. Buy a brand with above-average reliability and customer satisfaction.
  3. Be aware that manufacturers that have made personal computers for a shorter time will have misleadingly high scores.
  4. Choose a brand that offers a three-year parts-and-labor limited warranty, if possible.
  5. Select a brand that uses high-quality parts inside, unless price is your primary consideration. Do some research to find out which parts are better. Investigate the computer drives (hard disk, floppy disk, CD-ROM disc), internal cards (sound card, video card, network card), power supply, and the internal buses in addition to the type of processor.
  6. Support - Many computer manufacturers outsource their support. If you do not want to speak to foreign technical support, or just want it fixed, your best option would be to purchase a PC from a local PC builder. Usually a local company will remember you and your system and be much more help and more appreciative of your business. Support your local economy. Buy local!
  7. Warranties - Looking for a 3-year warranty is not very feasible, as many manufacturers offer only a 1-year warranty.

If you don’t want to end up cursing your computer and risk raising your blood pressure, it’s vital you get the help you need, so don’t overlook this when purchasing your computer hardware and software.

Whether you choose Dell, HP or any other computer be sure to do your own research first, buying a computer which does cater for your needs could mean disappointment.

How long before I become a good programmer?

Posted in The Technology Way, Geek Stuff, It's Your Business by admin on the July 9th, 2007

What makes a great programmer?

Like most skills programming is a skill that you can only learn by doing. Is a guy like me who can only commit a max of 1 to 2 hours per day learning and practicing, wasting his time?

Ok, I aint going to be able to build the next Half Life or Halo any time soon, but I do think putting in a small amount of time will allow me to at least architect the solutions I need. If I need a more experienced programmer for functionality I can crack, I can go to elance.com.

I’ve been studying php now for less than a week. I’ve seen enough to know that, one can never know all there is to know about programming. However, I am already learning enough to be able to pick and choose what I need to know for my current project ideas. I believe the best way to learn is by picking a project and learn the technology you need as you step through the stages of the project. No point in getting overwhelmed by thinking you need to know everything before you begin the project. Sure as time goes by and I learn more skills, I will probably look back at those first projects and cringe at they way I solved them.

At least then I know I’m learning through experience. All the theory in the world is useless unless put to practice.

Hard Drive Crashed? You Can Recover Your Data.

Posted in The Technology Way, Geek Stuff, Uncategorized by admin on the July 2nd, 2007

This is not always true, but normally 99% of your data can be recovered unless the hard drive suffered an abnormal amount of damage. If your computer caught fire, I wouldn’t expect that you would recover much data, but you might be surprised. Professional technicians can sometimes work miracles. Especially those that equipped to handle raid data recovery problems.

Raid is a term used when your data is stored across an array of hard drives instead of a single unit. This won’t be the case for the average personal computer at home, even though their are an increasing number of home networks as families network more than one computer together.

Most businesses have multiple computers networked together and large corporations have their own servers that network multiple networks together. This is where the need of a raid data recovery specialist is absolutely required if you want to make sure you recover all of your data.
