Im a Justhost Affiliate

Ok so several months ago i tried to sign up for Justhost’s Affiliate program, but back then it required a whole sign up process. It meant that i had to enter my SS# credit number and all this other stuff. I decided it was to much of a hassle to do it.

So today i went back and all you needed was a PayPal account. Guess what i have one of those (never really use it tho). Well now if you click the lil add in the side bar i will get a lil bit of $$ when you sign up.

So if your looking for cheap, reliable web hosting, check out JustHost hosting. Comes with Unlimited disc space, unlimited bandwidth, and a free domain for life. Almost everything is unlimited.why do i feel like a sellout?

PC Vs Mac

This is pretty much the saying for the ultimate war between Windows and Apple. The phrase im talking about is “PC versus Mac”. But its finely gotten on my nerves. The phrase should be “Windows versus Mac”. My reason behind this is this.

What the hell does P.C. stand for? “Personal Computer” right? Well doesn’t that make a Mac a PC? What about computers you see in offices and businesses (either a Windows machine or a Mac). They are not and shouldnt not be used as a “Personal Computer”, does that mean they are neither a PC or a Mac?

So saying “PC vs Mac” is wrong. Its like saying “Truck vs Ford”, Or saying “Soda vs Dr Pepper”. You never ask a friend/coworker, “Hey do you drive a Ford or a truck” or ” Hey whats your favorite drink, soda or Dr Pepper”

OK i know that apple makes their own machines and the Apple OS can only be run on those machines. And every other computer company makes PCs that run windows. But it doesn’t mean you can compare a general object to a specific object.

Also why is this “war” still going? You dont see car companies dissing other car companies. Why is Windows and Mac still dissing each other when they both have great products?

PS. I couldn’t find a good image to put at the top :(

TweetDeck Vs DestroyTwitter 2

dt-vs-tdA while a back i made a post sharing a list of 5 reasons why i liked DestroyTwitter more then TweetDeck (Link). I was shocked that it was such a hit, over 800 hits in one day. Well its been a while since iv used TweetDeck so i thought id try the new version, and see what i thought. Im going to give a list of some good and bad things about it, compared DestroyTwitter.

Disclamer.

Please forgive me if my assumptions are wrong about TweetDeck and if there is a preference i may have over looked.

These are just my thoughts at this time, my feelings could change, or the apps may change and effect my feelings.

Twitter Mirror?

Iv been using Destroytwitter for a while now and im loving it. But im not here to talk about DT in general, but more of an idea iv had for a way to save your twitter API calls.

If you use a Iphone or Ipod touch then you’ve probably tried or even use a twitter app. But there is a problem if you also use a desktop twitter app. You run out of API calls QUICKLY.

My idea is this: You have a Desktop app that all does the API calls, and then you have your Iphone app ping your desktop app to get the tweets. The Desktop app (and computer/router) would have to have a port open some way for the Iphone app and the Desktop app to communicate with each other. Other stuff could be possible too, like read status of each tweet would be synchronize. So you read a tweet on your Iphone and it wont show unread on your Desktop app, and visa versa.

I think its a good idea, but it might be hard to do. Im not that kinda of programmer.

But tell me what you think, does this idea have merit?
