On one of the free web hosts I run I had a cz.cc free domain ad, only on 1 page. In the same period I had a bidvertiser ad on every page of three websites that made 2 cents less than the cz.cc ad. There was 1 conversion per week for the cz.cc ad and 1 click biweekly on the bidvertiser. Now I have replaced the bidvertiser with the cz.cc ad and a cz.cc ad. Also in the rotation is a namecheap ad.
Google Chrome Disable Cache (Updated!)
As a web developer web browser caches are annoying because I often want to see the current state of the page on the server.
To disable Google Chrome’s Cache copy and paste the following into terminal on your Mac:
chmod 222 ~/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/index
chmod 222 ~/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Media\ Cache/index
Click Here to Test but don’t clear any cache just reload the page without using the refresh button.

WordPress Post By Email
The wordpress post by email thing was hard to figure out, usually resulting in a blank post with the correct title and that’s it. I have figured out the best way for it to work.
1: Configure the email receiving options.
2: Set your emall client to plain text, but write in HTML (I think using the HTML option in your email client would work, but rich text does not)
3:Set a cron job on your web host to wp-mail.php

Thoughts on my 13 inch MacBook Pro
I have had my 13 inch MacBook Pro about a month now and here are some of my thoughts on it
Overall it’s great and I love it. The performance is so much better than the PowerBook and about the same as my hackintosh on the cpu front but graphics is so much faster on the MacBook Pro. (I was using a hacked version of the GMA x3100 driver that would not enable core image or quartz extreme)
Sound Issues:
The volume of the speakers does not go low enough. This issue my hackintosh had in Windows but not Mac. There is too big of a jump between the notches using the volume buttons on the keyboard. Also, in some games enabling hardware 3D sound causes it to die, often to come back temporarily when quitting the game. This would sometimes require a reboot to fix. Simply disabling hardware 3D in the sound options would fix the issue.

My WordPress Anti-spam methods
I am pretty sure I get exactly 0 automated bot spams. The only spam I get is human spam. I don’t use any form of captcha anywhere. How do I do this? First off, I changed the comment form to not even use recognizable field names. Second, I added dummy fields and if they are filled in the comment is blocked. One uses a similar name to one of the default field names. I still moderate comments and I will edit them if part is spam and another is not. I even renamed the comment post file (Mainly to prevent wordpress updates from overwriting it)
Nofollow is not used in the url box. It did no good anyway so what’s the point? Make a worthwhile comment on my blog and you can have 1 dofollow link. Links within the comment are still nofollow.
