Everyone is looking for an easy way to make some extra money along the line. Whether it be selling advertisement, flipping websites, freelancing articles, the list is endless. I’d like to introduce you to easy method of making money. It’s called flipping domains.

What is Domain Flipping?

I’m sure you have heard of House Flipping before, but probably not Domain Flipping. House Flipping is the process of buying a house that is in need of repairs, fixing it up, and then selling it for a profit. Domain Flipping is the process of buying a domain or website, fixing it up and selling it for a profit.

The main difference between Domain Flipping and House Flipping is that House Flipping involves weeks and oftentimes months of your time to complete. House Flipping requires working with contractors, managing teams, getting-up early and going to the house each day, it’s an arduous process. Domain Flipping works with your schedule - and best of all it takes place in the comfort of your own home. Imagine house flipping in your pajamas!

Domain Flipping works by focusing on two key metrics essential to domain value, traffic and revenue. If you have a domain name with great “name-value”, something like Car.com or BuyCar.com then you don’t need to flip the domain - it’s already valuable! This is the same with house flipping - you don’t flip a $20 million mansion - it’s already valuable!

Seems that hosting is a problem at the moment. If this site randomly shuts down, it probably means I’ll be transferring hosting company. Sit tight!

What on earth is The PC decrapifier? It’s a program that removes “crapware” from your new PC. It gets rid of that bundled software that Dell or Toshiba ect. put on for you such as Wild Tangent Game Console, AOL Toolbar (5.0), Vonage and much more. This crapware takes up valuable storage space, uses up memory and even internet bandwith as some crapware checks for new updates. Runs perfectly on XP and Vista and is always being updated for new crap to be removed.

So how come vendors install this crapware? Because they get money for installing it on thier PC’s from the companies that make this stuff. It’s shameful really, I mean I don’t mind when they throw in a 3-month trial version of anti-virus software that works, but setting hompage’s to advertisment and installing 3rd party search bars is a no go in my books. If you’re after a free copy of this magnificant piece of software, you can get it here. Your PC will thank you and you should gain some extra PC performance.

Yes I know I’m jumping the gun a little bit. Windows 7 has still got a fair way to go with its planned release date for January 2010. But who says we can’t get some nice looking Windows 7 wallpapers ? They look awesome and you don’t have to send a cent to Microsoft. Frnak at DeviantART is the creator of these wallpapers, who actually created the Vista Aurora wallpapers. You can get the wallpapers from here

Just yesterday I received the Guitar Hero: World Tour super pack that contains a guitar, drums, mic and the video game itself. Eager to give it a go, I tried out the drums first as that had been one of my main reasons to get the game. First off, I had a little trouble getting one of the legs to clip in place. No matter how hard I pushed, it just would not clip. The result? The drum kit would not sit square, thus rocking all over the place when I got to have a bash at it.

Lots of people have been reporting that the red drum pad on the drumkit has a sensitivity issue. Ok fair enough, nothing is perfect. So what Red Octane have done to solve this is they are sending out a MIDI to USB cable for those having reported drums sensitivity issues and using a “tuning software” to adjust the drums sensitivity. This is all fine and dandy, however, Australia has had no update to whether or not we get the free USB to Midi Cable. Others have emalied Red Octane to receive no joy at the present moment. Currently, America is the only country to recieve this free MIDI to USB cable.

Rather than hang out for the support to be sorted out, I’ve gone ahead and bought my own MIDI to USB cable from EBay. If your interested in purchasing one, they cost about $15AUD shipped. I’ll let you all know how my drums go once I recieve the cable and tune my drums.

In conclusion, World Tuur is a lot of  fun, but at the present moment, the drums need little bit of tweaking and everything will be set to rock . Have you had any issue with Guitar Hero World Tour? Or maybe you’ve reached an awesome score. Feel free to tell.

I had read about people boosting their wifi signal using kitchen utensils to food containers such as Pringles. This was an easy to boost your signal and to increase your transfer speed. I thought this was all well and good, but what if you did not want to sacrifice you only food dish strainer? Or what if you did not eat Pringles (I don’t)? I set myself on a misson to find a object that most households would have or could easily obtain. It struck my mind that most people had spindle packets of CD-R’s, which previsouly I wrote about how to fix that side hole on your PC Case with a CD protector.After a about half an hour of planning and construction, I came up with the following:

Yep, doesn’t look professional but this CD-R spindle pack combined with a silver foil is the bomb. So how do you go about making one I hear you say? I’m glad you asked. You’ll need the following resources:

1x Empty 50 CD/DVD spindle pack

1x 13cmx13cm silver foil

1x X-acto knife or similar

1x Cutting board

1x Marker

The main point is to get the silver foil cut and fitted to size. For that, you’ll need to place your empty CD spindle pack on the tin foil and trace around it with a marker. NOTE: Try to keep the silver foil as flat as possible because crinkling the foil can lessen the wifi signal boost.

Note the smaller circle in the middle; you’ll need to cut this out too.

Place the silver foil on the cutting board, and using the X-acto knife, slowly cut out the two circles. Once they’re cut out, place the silver foil over the empty CD spindle pack and you’re just about done. All you have to do now is place your new wifi signal booster over your router’s aerial like so:

Yes, I’m in search of alien activity

The signal increase is questionable as I don’t not have any fancy testing equipment, but Network Stumbler showed an increase of signal:

Every bit counts

Even though the increase is minimal, I still had fun making this project. If you give this a go , please leave a comment on how it went .

Here is some pictures to give you idea’s about organising your cables. All pictures are from Ralf Huttler at silentpcreview.com .

Also, I have a copy of an old maximum PC article that goes in depth explaining how custom pc company “Voodoo PC” use cable origami to its full potential. You can get a copy here:

If you had not noticed, I’ve just recently added the MyBlogLog Recent Readers Widget. I had neglected adding this widget since starting as I did not think it was important. I’ve changed my mind now. Enabling this widget exposes the reader’s website/blog in the little avatar, to the rest of the visitors. I think it’s the least I can do to give something back to you as a loyal reader.

In the near future, I’m going to be posting my second youtube video. I’m going to have a lot of fun with this one, so stay tuned .
