I'm Back

Hey everyone..I'm back. Sorry I haven't posted in so long I've been really really really amazingly busy. A lot of stuff has happened since I last posted..we shot a big comet with a ball of metal thousands upon thousands of people have become homeless and countless more have died. In response to this I would encourage everyone to donate or something like that. I really haven't done anything very special in the meantime..I got addicted to a band called Sublime...I'm currently working on a program which I will post here when I am done with it that does box and whisker graphs..if you don't know what those are just forget it. Anyway..next sunday the round-up is back..See you then.

Free, Free, Free, Free, Free

A few days ago I received my iPod. But unlike most people I dint pay for my iPod. And no I didn't steal it either I got it for free at freeipods.com. Owned by gratis internet freeipods.com promises users the iPod of their choice free of charge. Freeipods.com is one of 10 sites in the gratis network that promise free products and one of over 300 sites on the web that I no of. Gratis has come up with these sites as a means of marketing. A user signs up fills in a valid e-mail address and shipping address and then completes a sponsor offer. The offers range from free trials of AOL to applying for a discover card but most can be cancelled without being charged and some don't even require a credit card. Once you complete the offer you need to refer 5 friends to the same when they complete their offers gratis will ship you a free iPod. No joke, no cost. They even have free shipping. Now of course the question everyone asks is how and why would gratis give away iPod for free? The answer is simple. Gratis gets between 50 and 90 dollars for every person who completes an offer. They are paid by the sponsors to attract customers. So if you complete an offer and get five friends to gratis, gratis just made 500 bucks so shipping out a 250-300 dollar iPod is no problem. Gratis has shipped out over 4 million dollars in free stuff so far including my free 20 gig iPod. Gratis has inspired hundreds of other sites giving away free products from desktop pc's and peripherals to paintball guns and handbags. But it has also inspired sites designed to help people get there free product. One such site is freeipodsandfltscreens.com. Here you can pay ten dollars to have your unique referral link posted on there site for 24 hours. I tried this method and was able to acquire 4 referrals for my free iPod however this site has a long waiting list. Another concept is the conga line but these have many problems and are not worth mentioning. In my experience the best site is Refstop.com. Upon signing up at refstop you enter in your referral links for any of the 280 sites you have an account at and how many referrals you need for each site. Once this is done it will generate a list of users who can do referrals for you. You then make a trade offer to one if accepted that user will complete a referral for you and you one for them. With this site I was easily able to complete 8 refferals for various site in just a week I now have an iPod and my free Motorola Razr V3 phone is on its way.

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

The third and most likely to be last, Star Wars movie is drawing closer to a movie near you. As always the cryptic Star Wars site was as unrelenting as usual and not much information was gleaned from its uninviting forums and freakish news articles. I have however managed to figure that it will be coming out soon, YES and the audiobook and the screenplay and crap will be coming out on April 2nd (I love amazon). So, don't forget to see it and buy it, more later on my next podcast, Episode 3: Zenon. So don't forget to download episodes 1 an 2 from feeds.feedburner.com/techcast and have a nice night.

A Rant on the Woes of Xbox Live

Holy crap!!!!!!!! I hate release Xbox's!!!!!! My favorite game in the world as mentioned in my podcasts doesn't work well with those stupid, old, faulty, dumb, idiotic Thompson drives inside mine. I HATE FAILED TO LOAD MAP!!! Every time I try to get into a matchmaking game, I get kicked off because I can't "Load the Map". After a quick search on google, I found a few people who had the same problem as me, but their fixes were sketchy at best. One recommended puttin a fan in front of it, the other recommended screaming at Xbox tech support until they sent a new one. Any one know how to fix this, because or else somebody and Xbox tech support is going to have to quit their job tonight. HELP

Traffic

Anybody have any knowledge of how to get traffic to your website, please comment.

New NASA Software

I was reading through the newest issue of Wired Magazine a few days ago and noticed a piece of software mentioned inside of it made by NASA. I decided to check it out but forgot about it until a few minutes ago. What the software does is basically let you zoom around a 3d earth with about 1 terabyte worth of satelite image data. It's really cool. Its basically a free, government versions of Keyhole, (www.keyhole.com). The site for this software is http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/, you should try it but make sure you have broadband because its a huge file.
