2 Letter Domain Names are Hot

Can somebody lend me around $200,000, so I can go buy WT.com? If I ever make it big, I’m going to definitely buy a two letter domain, even if it doesn’t make sense. I’d get it just to make it my personal blog.

Domain real estate is a very funny business; people can sell domains that don’t mean anything for large amounts of money. For instance, if you have a LLLX.com you’d get at least $2,000 for it. There’s probably nothing LLLX can possibility stand for, but it’s a very easy domain to remember.  It’s like selling a piece of land right next to the ocean, worth more than any real house nearby.

I just want to rewind time back to 1994 and buy up hundreds of domains. If I sold them today, I’d be a multimillionaire. Now to find the time machine.
Yeah.

One Free Domain:Register.com

Published by UltraYeah under Computer Lingo

Register.com

 
Register.com is giving away one free domain. In order to qualify for this free domain, you must have a credit card. Don’t think they’re losing money; They do this promotion, to prey on the people who don’t turn off domain autorenew, which is initially on. If you don’t cancel that option, they charge 35 dollars for each domain renewal! I had trouble turning this feature off: The website didn’t allow me to, so I had to call them. To reemphasize the fact that they love to renew domains, they sent me an email after I got the function off.

 

We’ve noticed you’ve made a change to your SafeRenew settings and we want to make sure that you understand that disabling this important feature could result in your losing this service.

DON’T LOSE YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS
Every year, hundreds of people lose their Websites and other online services simply because they forgot to renew. That’s why we offer SafeRenew - an automatic renewal service to help protect your online presence. We encourage all of our customers to keep their SafeRenew settings enabled all the time.

Seriously,

Downloading Music off Myspace: Using Firebug

Published by UltraYeah under Computer Lingo

Tired of constantly visiting your favorite musician’s Myspace page to listen to your favorite single? Well now you can download them in a matter of seconds, using Firebug and Windows Media Player.

#1. Download the Firebug plugin for the Firefox Browser. This is a useful tool for determining what things you’re downloading from the site. It’s mainly used for configuration of website, such as fixing the css. You can download it here.

#2. After you install Firebug, you should see the Firebug icon on the lower right side of the browser. Right click it and enable it; also you can it open it in a new window for convenience.
Right Click Firebug

#3. Visit the Myspace page you want music out off of. If you have firebug open you should see a list of stuff that you’re downloading from the site. The major thing you should see is a big file, usually more than 2mbs.

Websites are HARD work and Time Consuming

Published by UltraYeah under Computer Lingo

I woke up at 12pm and worked on my website until 12am.

So what exactly did I do? First, I had to resolve the Dynamic Name System for my domain: NS1.dailyyeah.com, NS2.dailyyeah.com. This basically is like a internet phone book for domains. This took about a year, literally. It took so long because if you change the nameserver, if you already have a domain, it takes the internet ages to recognize it. It has to tell every server that your domain address changed. Some servers might even have your old address. Overall this step take 24-48 hours. Talk about PAIN.

Secondly, I had to migrate my old Wordpress: I had to take all the MySQL database and all the files. All the posts and instructions on how to use the physical files(like themes), are in the mysql file; everything else is in the physical files, that you can grab via FTP(file transfer protocol). This step took another year. Why? Cause my upload speed is ridiculously slow and I messed up several times, so I had to upload it more than once.

Finally, I had to get the whole thing to work. I hated this…
