Is Google PageRank Gone? Or is just a Tweak away

October 7, 2011 By 1 Comment
Quickly Fix Google PAgeRank

So I was creating a blog for a client today and came to my attention that my PageRank bar was returning a 0 or a N/A ( Not Available ) answer, I did not pay that much attention to it, because some times after long hours of work on Firefox, some add-ons crash , so I said to myself, since I was not writing articles today, there was no need for SEO at the time. But later forums and groups had mixed reactions when they saw that their Google Toolbars and other SEO plugins that had the PageRank Checker where returning values of 0 or N / A. The most reliable PR Checker (Google Toolbar) showed the same error. After speculation, I came to the conclusion that Google had removed the Google PageRank.But then I thought  that Google was not going to take such a drastic measure. But what if it did? Where was all the SEO businesses and gurus out there going to end since their main Website Rate was gone? After many hours of browsing I came across a Google+ Share John Mueller, ( John Mueller's … [Read more...]

Firefox_Second_Language

I found this little tweak looking for a way to change Firefox’s Language in seconds without having to uninstall and then install, since I write in several blogs in different languages this little trick really helped me, mostly when you have to prepare tutorials that need images to guide your visitors without confusing them with a language they are not used to, turning you’re your hard work off the toilet. Maybe you will find other ways this tweak can be useful if so share it with us at the comments section. Now Lets get to work. First you need to install the Firefox language package that suites your needs, in my case it will be Spanish which uses the iso code es ; you can find your language code here: Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages and then copy the ISO 639-1 Code that corresponds to it. With your Language code in hand, go to the Firefox Language Repository, at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/ , Then select your Operating … [Read more...]

What is a Geek?

June 24, 2010 By 1 Comment
geek_panties

Am I a Geek? Lets find out... The term geek has traditionally been one that is used in a nearly derogatory manner towards those that value intellectual stimulation and studying deep into various fields such as science, technology, and art. Geeks have always been absorbed into learning as much as they can about their interests and surroundings, sometimes putting themselves at the risk of foregoing social norms. This can make geeks appear strange to much of society, often making them the target of mockery and even ridicule. However, in the last few years, the term "geek" as well as the people that proudly call themselves geeks have enjoyed a surge in popularity and social acceptance. More than ever, intelligence is valued over traditional forms of popularity, especially in adolescents. For instance, it is just as common to see geeks interacting with members of the opposite sex as sports jocks today, whereas just a few years ago they were a much more isolated … [Read more...]

Out Of the Box Geek Gifts Ideas For Your Geek Buddy

April 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
geek_gift

Are you shopping for geek gifts for a geek friend? Is your geek friend into technology and gadgets? Getting the perfect gifts for him can be very frustrating because, most often than not, the things that bring a smile into his face cannot be normally found in malls or your local gift store. Though finding an amazing gift for your geek buddy can be quite a challenge, it does not have to be a chore. To find the perfect gift, begin by thinking about what type of a geek your friend is and what he is interested in. Is he the James Bond-type, or much more like the mathematician-type of geek? Or maybe he is a survivalist-type of geek? If you have a James Bond-type of a geek friend, for instance, spy on your geek gifts recipient and check to see if he has been hiding his embarrassment for his quite-obsolete cell phone or is secretly drooling at the sight of his rich friends' smart cell phones; perhaps it is time that you should buy him one of those hot, new smart phones! He would love to see … [Read more...]

The Floppy Disk is Dying

Do you remember the floppy disk? Well I think the new generations don't even know what a Floppy disk Is, just as I was telling my 13 year old son yesterday about the Audio Cassettes, and he just put that awkward face that says " What are you talking about " that's when I realized I am old, well that is the same situation with the floppy disks, they where the only way to transfer a file from one pc to another, even to install Windows 95 or 98 at their early years you needed a floppy to get it running, windows 95 was compiled in about 30 floppy disks that you have to change one by one in every installation and took about 4 hours to install, Games use to come in Floppy Disks some times in 5 1/4 Floppies, I remember playing my new G.I. Joe Game on my Commodore 64, I inserted the Disk, Load it and went to have lunch then I returned and I was ready to play ( It took about 30 minutes to load ) and now we complain when our PC doesn't start in less than 45 seconds; Well this is the end of an … [Read more...]

Ok so you have heard of Open Source, and for those who haven’t, here is the definition that the “ Open Source Initiative” gives us: Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation formed to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open-source community. Some consider open source a philosophy, others consider it a pragmatic methodology. In plain English, Open Source is a license given to certain applications and software which code is open to the public so you can download it tweak it, change it, improve it and upload it again, that is how most amazing programs are build, like MySQL, Trolltech, Mozilla, … [Read more...]
