11 Things Not To Tweet About

TwitterWe all know that Twitter is currently the KING of Social Media dethroning Facebook by a large margin. I enjoy using Twitter on a daily basis, sharing stories, finding great links, and connecting with random people from across the globe.

It was great in the beginning but as it becomes over-saturated with users I’m seeing more and more non-sense Tweets…

For all the Twitter newbies out there, there are just things you should not Tweet about:

1 – You don’t have to tweet about every single second of your boring life.

2 – Most users don’t really care if your dog got hit by a car and lost one of its legs.

3 – Don’t ask what you should eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

4 – Leave your depression state of mind out of Twitter.

5 – Don’t ask what you should wear today.

6 – Don’t Twitpic yourself asking if you look OK today.

7 – Don’t send out a link to your favorite porn site.

8 – No more Rick-rolling please…it’s gotten quite old!

9 – Avoid 1, 2, or 3 word Tweets, we have no idea what you mean.

10 – Stop bitchin’ about how slow Twitter has been.

11 – I get it, you’re coffee was too strong, no need to Tweet about it.

How To Remove Categories From Your URL

WordPress

WordPress is my favorite blogging platform but it’s not perfect by all means. There’s still a number of features I would like to see in WordPress, one of them is having the categories to not appear in my url.

I’ve seen and tried various plugins and WordPress hacks but I’m not completely satisfied with the end results.

For Example:

Suppose you have the following url that points to your Health category.

http://www.whatever.com/category/health/

I really hate to see the word category appear in my url, what I want to see is the following:

http://www.whatever.com/health/

Not only does this look nice and clean but it is also great for SEO purposes!

Steps For Troubleshooting EXE Errors

An Overview of EXE Errors

oops25

The software on your computer is stored in a hierarchal structure. On the top is your operating system, for example, Windows or Linux. Under the operating system we have our individual application suits, such as Microsoft Office and Norton Security center. Below these suits we have individual programs, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint or Antivirus, Antispam and Antispyware, respectively. Finally, each of these individual programs comprises one or more EXE or Executable files that are used to perform various tasks. For example, winword.exe is used to launch Microsoft Word and Excel.exe is used to launch the Microsoft Excel application.

This is the reason why from installing a new application to working on that application and using various program features, exe files are required to perform all of these tasks. This is the reason why, you have hundreds of exe files on a single system.

Google Rolls Out Their New favicon

Google's New FaviconIn case you haven’t noticed, Google has a brand new favicon design. When I first saw it appear on my browser I couldn’t quite tell what it was, it looked like a cracked icon or some sort. Not until I did my research that I found out that the white space is actually the letter G.

The inspiration for this new design actually came from André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil. His placement of a white ‘g’ on a color-blocked background was highly recognizable and attractive, while seeming to capture the essence of Google.

André Resende’s Design

Personally, I wish Google kept Andre’s design. I really like it and I think it’s more balanced. Below is Google’s favicon history from oldest to newest…which one do you like most?
