Computer Maintenance – Defrag

I will be outlining how to do computer maintenance on your Windows Machine. First thing to know is that, while computer maintenance helps keep your system running, it also helps speed it up. Your machine should not be infected in order to do a regular maintenance. I will be splitting this up in multiple pieces [...]

Your Smart Phone Is Secretly Recording Everything You Do!

You are casually listening to some music, when all of a sudden, flying ninja’s are at your doorstep demanding you to pay them for the stolen music you pirated! While that may seem farfetched(which it is), what you do on your phone is no secret. Gizmodo has posted that Carrier IQ, which can be found [...]

Fastest Time To Solve Rubik’s Cube

However, computers have humans beat by 0.31 seconds. CubeStormer II solved it in only 5.35 seconds! Check out this video: [...]

WordPress Update, Spam and Post Purging

Posted by Joshua on October 10th, 2011
wordpress

WordPress 3.2.1 has been released! Changelog for this is very short, however fixes an issue with JSON. This maintenance release fixes a server incompatibility related to JSON that’s unfortunately affected some of people, as well as a few other fixes in the new dashboard design and the Twenty Eleven theme.

With this update, I also updated my spam prevention policies on the website. I added a plugin called “Spam Free WordPress” which seems to be doing a good job. It also does not add a captcha to anyone. Not really sure how it works, but I will rate it after a few months of use.

I also am using another plugin called “Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin” which is for registration of new users. Truthfully, I do not even know if you can register at this blog, but that is irrelevant now that I have the Facebook plugin. You can just use Facebook to comment on any post on the website.

Lastly, I have deleted (or purged) posts that I feel are too private to share to the world. It seems that the internet has become populated with people who are mean, so I have left these out of my public blog. I do thank the people who said nice things in the posts!

Until next time, Live Long and Prosper!

Willy Wonka Musical – Staring Samantha Pack as Charlie Bucket

Posted by Joshua on May 8th, 2011

What can I say, I am so proud of my niece and her ability to act as well as sing up on stage with a huge crowd of people. She was one of the best singers in the musical. Most of the other actors are seniors where Samantha is just a freshman, and she has a lead role!

Being there is so much better then seeing this in HD (HD coming soon, Facebook embed doesn’t have HD). However, for those who missed it, I have included a clip to show all of you how wonderful she did.

The other actors were great as well, including in this scene. Willy Wonka and Grandpa Joe gave good comedy to the show.

New Look, New Theme

Posted by Joshua on March 10th, 2011

Well, I was looking at my website and noticed how old looking it is. Most people have upgraded to bigger monitors supporting higher resolutions and well, my website here still supports the 800×600 resolution. Now you must have a good resolution off at least 1200px width or my website is too big for you. But with a 720p/i or 1080p/i monitor you will have no problem viewing the site. Everyone should be switching to that anyway!  And with a bigger theme, comes bigger other stuff. :)

I want to update this even more then the amount of updates I have been doing, but it takes a lot of time to be able to type something up and to make it interesting. Currently I have failed… poor me. But alas, I will figure a way to entertain your brain. So I will start posting even more pictures and even more videos for your brains pleasure.

So how about I show you an upcoming movie. I would tell you more about it but, you should just watch for yourself.

Blender 3d Models

Posted by Joshua on October 26th, 2009

So anyway, I was playing around with Blender and made a few things, go ahead and take a look.

I added a fog AKA mist, and stars into the background. I then textured the ground with grass, lol. I did some wireframe things and also a halo, which caused that red thing in the back. Pretty neat program. If you are in to 3D modeling I recommend downloading blender.

It can be used by professionals as well as people just starting out. I do recommend this program for any who is starting out learning about 3d renders. It also has a built-in game engine that allows you to publish games, however, it seems to be very basic and is not recommended.

Best Kept Secret – Lowest Hosting

Posted by Joshua on July 9th, 2009

empireI usually do not post my sources on how I do my stuff, as I like to keep my secrets to myself. But I just have to let all of you know about this hosting company. I go through them, so all of you who have hosting through me has hosting through them.

Their uptime is just AWESOME. There is not much to say about it, other then it never goes down. Except for maintenance once a year.

Whenever I have a problem with my server, usually caused by me, they answer the ticket within 5 minutes and usually will solve the problem for me, and explain what was wrong and how they fixed it.

I am pretty good with linux, and i usually do not have to do too much to these servers I get from them, but they are experts when it comes to linux. I use CENTOS, and they are fast in repairing any problem.

Because they are so awesome, I will post a link so you can visit their new website design. http://empire-hosting.net

I recommend though getting hosting through me :P because well. . . . I am hosted through them.
