Holiday Shopping, Yes Already…

Friday, September 14th, 2007


There a few stores that I always look to for gift and party ideas. I like the idea that I can find what I am looking for, then either shop online, or pick it up at the store. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years around the corner, (I know, sorry for the early wake up call) I thought I would share them with you.

First, for most of my Christmas and Thanksgiving decorations, I love Target. It is always easy to find Target coupons and specials for the items I need and want. They also maintain a large stock of advertised items.

Second, or Walmart is perfect in two ways: 1. I can shop online, usually with Walmart coupon codes, and have it shipped to my home or office. 2. I can shop online and have my entire order shipped to my local store for my pickup, for free.

Both ways, if you shop smart, use a website like couponchief.com, and act soon, you will find it a lot less stressful this year!

Kontera earns big bucks!

Friday, September 14th, 2007


Kontera content links has become a staple in the blog and website industry. Huge checks are coming in for many people. There are ways to optimize Kontera to your individual needs.

Here are some tips straight from Kontera themselves on things you can do to optimize your results and becoming a huge earner.

Optional Customization



1. ContentLink link color
- You can set the ContentLink color very easily by using an HTML-safe HEX color code in this parameter:

   var dc_AdLinkColor

Any HTML-safe color name or code (HEX). Please refer to this page* for a complete list.



2. Keyword, Advertiser, Topic Control

We allow you to set the following restriction parameters:

  • Keywords – block specific keywords from being "highlighted" on your site.
  • Advertisers – block specific advertisers from showing up on your site.
  • Topics – block specific topics (travel, automotive, etc.) from your site. This covers both keywords and ads.


3. ContentLink™ Area Placement
(Explicit Mark Tags)

Our technology will automatically identify and prioritize the best pages on your web site, including the specific locations on the page for ContentLink™ placement. However, in some cases publishers like to control exactly where on the page ContentLinks™ will be placed. For example, you might want to only have ContentLinks™ in the main paragraphs and not on the bottom section of a page.

For this, you will need to use DIV Tags. DIV tags have "open" and "close" tags. When you apply them on your pages, we will only place ContentLinks™ on the text that is between these tags.



Example of DIV Tag:

Let’s assume you have a page with two paragraphs and you only want to have ContentLinks in the first paragraph:




<div class=”KonaBody”>

<p>Typical global climate simulations use spatial resolutions of about 300 kilometers (186 miles), which limits their ability to simulate climate and climate change on a regional scale. For example, with these lower resolutions it is difficult to assess climate changes, and the resulting societal impacts, in the climatically varying regions within California. </p>

</div>

<p>The high-resolution global climate simulations were run on a number of large computers at LLNL and on two machines at the Department of Energy’s National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC). </p>


You can use the DIV tags as many times as you would like on a single page.



4. ContentLink™ Text Filter
(Do not AKA "filter" Mark Tags)

Our technology will automatically identify and prioritize the best pages on your web site, including the specific locations on the page for ContentLink™ placement. However, in some cases publishers like to restrict certain areas. To do this, you will need to use Span filter tags.

Filter tags example:
Let’s assume you have a page with three paragraphs and you do not want to have ContentLinks in the first paragraph:


<span name=”KonaFilter”>

<p>Typical global climate simulations use spatial resolutions of about 300 kilometers (186 miles), which limits their ability to simulate climate and climate change on a regional scale. For example, with these lower resolutions it is difficult to assess climate changes, and the resulting societal impacts, in the climatically varying regions within California. </p>

</span>

<p>The high-resolution global climate simulations were run on a number of large computers at LLNL and on two machines at the Department of Energy’s National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC). </p>

<p>The 50 km global model has 32 times more grid cells and requires about 200 times more computer processing time than comparable models at 300-km resolution. </p>

Our Employment Opportunities

Friday, September 14th, 2007

We receive a lot of resumes every week. We also receive a lot of calls as to what someone would need in order to be considered for a tech position in our company. We have a few requirements, but we are inflexible about only one: You must have an A+ certification.

A+ certification training may be a requirement, but there are several other certifications that will help. MCP completion, along with MCSE certification is crucial. Also, any CCNA or Cisco certifications are also helpful.

Any work experience is great, but we also like to see some formal schooling, as we require constant retraining and learning as part of your position in the company. Be prepared for an experience of a lifetime.

New $5 Bill

Friday, September 14th, 2007

On September 20th of this year, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will unveil their new $5 bill. At first, the $5 bill was not scheduled for a revamp, but criminals were bleaching the bill and over-printing them in to $100 bills. It appears that the security features of both bills are in the same place.

The $5 bill, dubbed the “Wi-5″, because of the digital features and online unveiling, will get some new features, including some sort of small light-refracting lenses on the back. Although the bill won’t be released until 2008, all of the new features will be discussed at the press conference, available only online.

Stay tuned for the paranoia surrounding the $100 bill some are calling the New World Order bill…
