Fluxbox Menu Generator

I wrote a simple script to generate a customizable fluxbox menu. open your favorite editor and copy & paste the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

fluxbox-generate_menu -t favorite_term -b favorite_browser -i /path/to/icons


echo "Done!"

done

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Replace the respective values and save the script in /usr/local/bin (it varies per distribution)

then do:

chmod 755 /path/to/scriptname

then run it.

any questions? comment here or email me (no spam please)

NOTE: The icon directory don't really matter. I recommend you add your favorite term and browser because it is very convenient for it to be on the fluxbox menu.

Webcam images to Flash FLV

Many Linux users have asked me how to convert webcam images to FLV and have them streamed on myspace or other massive blogs via flash player. Satya does a very good job explaining how this can be done.

Island Explorer - BETA

I've been working on a web browser that blocks pop ups automatically for a little while now. If anyone wants to test it, I am going to post up a link to download it when the time comes.

Why I Thank God I'm Not a Celebrity

After watching the Golden Globes last night, the first time I've watched TV since college, I realized many reasons why I have no desire to be a celebrity and praise God I'm not.

1. Two-faced people
I can't handle being in the same room with a million two faced snobs. Actors act: nice, mean, happy, sad, etc. Either, they are happy to see you, or they don't and hide it very well. Not for me. I can't tell if the winners of the award even felt greatful for the award or just tried to get it done and over with...

2. Designer outfits?
Since when has it become necessary to sport designer everything on the red carpet - Oh yeah, since the 1950's. Why don't they suprise the audience - do something new. It gets boring real quick. I'm waiting for the day that Ryan 'Big Wet Vagina' Seacrest, or any other soulless entity/host, asks a celebrity what they are wearing and for him or her to respond 'Target' or 'Wal-mart' or better yet 'Big & Tall.'

3. Privacy Issues
We are all aware of paparazzi and their eagerness to get the precious picture for the magazine cover or whatever. I'm not too worried about this since I'm not a whore, fag, trailer trash, or bound to bare all on any given basis.

4. Living Standards?
I could never, ever, live in a humungous mansion that has no practicality. I would never waste money on random crap 'just because!' When ever we watch MTV Cribs, we see stars with all this crap and show no appreciation towards it. I think Dave Chappelle basically summed it up in his rendition of MTV Cribs.

5. Conclusion
While many of you people wish to become famous celebrities, you just may get tired of it quickly. Just hearing about all the crap stars go through in today's media wouldn't you get tired just from hearing it? I can see the wealth that comes out of it, but do you really, honestly believe that it is worth it? Not to me.

--Yours truly

Make money by surfing normally.

Is there such a place?

I recently found this place called Agloco.com

It is A global community where members get paid while surfing normally. They claim to not have any spyware or viruses.

The catch?
None that I see. The site says that the ViewBar that they have you download cycles ads on the bar (it doesn't say that it has ads pop up continuously.) In fact, the Viewbar will be placed just above the Windows taskbar.

How much do they pay?
It varies. They will pay you for 5 hours of surfing per month and, if you refer other people and they use it, you will get an increase in pay.

Is it free?
Yes. Agloco will not have you buy anything.


How do I sign up?
Simply visit http://www.agloco.com and sign up for free

(Please go to http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBL7144 for referring you there :D thanks!)

Sorry...

If anyone tried to download the skin and haven't been able to download it, it's because my server is not up anymore. I don't have it posted anywhere anymore...Sorry

WHITEghost v1.0 for Fluxbox released

So, one day I decided to be real artistic and whatnot so i made a theme for one of Linux's famous window managers Fluxbox.

I used a wallpaper my good friend rocketsummer (Lewis Hann) made and applied the theme to it.

A screenshot of it can be found here :

Easy way to get a free .com domain name -- it actually works

Many of those who wish to find a free way to get a .com domain name have tried long and hard to uncover a hidden nich in the fabric to label our own hosted site. I have uncovered this nich and, for those who can't possibly believe that you can get a .com domain name for free, it is very simple. One word. ezyrewards.

That's right. ezyrewards.com. It is a place where people get free things by gaining points doing simple things like completing surveys, or just entering an email.

I have gathered a list of steps to get your own domain name in about a weeks time.

1. Create a fake email address. If you currently use Gmail, don't bother. They offer a spam removal service.
2. Go to http://ezyrewards.com and sign up for an account.
3. Click "Offers" and start clicking on links and complete what's required (Note: you MUST use the email that you used for ezyrewards.com otherwise it will not credit your account.
4. You need 300points for a .INFO doman name and 1000 points for a .COM domain name.
5. Once you reach your goal. Go to Optinom.com, sign up and make an account.
6. Go back to ezyrewards.com and click "Claim reward" and click the prize you want.
7. Your account on Optinom will be credited and you will be able to create a .com or .info doman name! For free!!


Tips:

1. To save a ton of time with the surveys, i used the AutoFill feature of Google's Toolbar.
2. If you receive spam from the offers, and you use Gmail. check all the messages that you consider spam, and click "Report Spam". This will get rid of it for good.
3. Make sure sign up for Optinom BEFORE you claim your prize.
4. If you go for the 1000pt .COM domain name, free hosting is available.
5. Go for the highest point valued offers. This saves you time as it only requires about 10-15 offers to do, depending on the offer's point value.

OK, so nevermind on the screenie...

I have to scrap the screensaver i made. I never got it to function properly and it seems i'm not going to ever get it working. For all those hwho really cared, i' sorry.

3d Earth Screensaver

Recently, I was fooling around with DarkBASIC Professional, and, to learn from it, i decided to try and create a 3D screensaver. Lo and behold, I finally got it right!.

A free version of it will be available soon.

A small "donation" of $1 will get you the "clean" version -- no text, just the beautiful view.

just created...

welcome! hope you enjoy this blogspot.. i'm going to have all my work posted up here for all to enjoy.
