Earn Money with your friendster account!
1. You Paste Ad Code On Your App.
Displaying Cubics ads on your application is as easy as adding a small piece of code on your application.
2. Targeted Ads Are Displayed.
Cubics immediately begins displaying highly-targetted ads on your application. Each ad is specifically targetted based upon each users demographic information and location.
3. Users View Ads - You Get Paid.
You get paid for every ad shown!
Getting Paid
Check or Paypal -- You Decide
You can get paid via check or via paypal, whichever you prefer. You can also set the minimum amount that you would like to be paid out and your prefered payment frequency.
How Much You Get Paid
The amount that you are paid depends on a number of factors including the type of ad you display and the quantity and quality of the clicks on your ads. Cubics is a CPM network, meaning that you get paid for every ad shown -- not just for clicks.
Advantages
Flexibility
Cubics allows you to rotate in your own ads or ads from another network along-with Cubics ads. For example, you can specify that you would like to show Cubics ads 80% of the time and another ad networks ads 20% of the time.
User-Level Targeting
Cubics targets ads based upon the individual details of each of your application's users. This results in individually targeted ads instead of ads just targeted by content.
Frequent, Quick Payments.
Get paid as often as once a week via Paypal. No need to wait forever to get paid.
What do I need to get started?
The sign-up process is relatively simple.
Go to the Publisher Account Creation page, fill in your information and hit the Create Account button. Cubics will require an e-mail, a name, a phone number and a mailing address.
You'll be logged into the system and sent a confirmation e-mail. From here you can select a platform (Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, etc.) and an ad size. Your code will be in the box at the bottom of the screen, just copy-paste into your app.
For more customization, you can select display colors for the ad. Changing these colors will update the code at the bottom of the screent.
Is there anything else?
By default, you'll be paid weekly via Paypal, but only for balances above $50. To change your payment schedule or to get paid by check, click on My Account and then Payment Settings.
If you are located in the US, you will also be required to fill out your tax information on the appropriate tab. Cubics (by Adknowledge) requires this information (equivalent to submitting a W9) to provide you with a 1099 form at the end of the year.

Windows XP - Create one click shutdown shortcut

Let’s go for XP tip for today. But before that, as you can see, I have used a custom domain for my blog. I’ve moved my blog from http://dx-xel.blogspot.com/ to http://dx-xel.net/. All of my previous blog URLs will be redirect to my brand new domain. It was pretty cool. Hehe.. Next time, I will show you step by step on how I move my blog to my own domain.
Ok, back to the topic. This is how you can create a shortcut on your desktop and when ever you click at it, your Windows will be shutdown.
Step 1
Right click on your desktop > New > Shortcut

Step 2
You will see a pop-up window. Enter SHUTDOWN -s -t 01

Note: Enter c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows (if you’re using Windows95, Windows98 or ME)
Click the Next button and name the shortcut as Shutdown, Turn Off, Stop or whatever. Then click Finish. DONE.
Optional:
1. You can make a keyboard shortcut for that icon and by pressing them, you will be able to shutdown Windows. Right click to that shortcut icon > Properties. Click the Shortcut key’s textbox and press the combination of keys that you prefer (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Q)
Click the Apply button and then OK.
2. You also can change the shortcut icon. (Image at the top). Right click to the shortcut > Properties and click the Change Icon… button. Select any icon you prefer, click OK. Then, click the Apply and OK button.
By now, you should be able to shutdown Windows with a single click. That’s all for today…Yeahh!!!
HijackThis Tutorial Essential program to help remove spyware
HijackThis is a program originally developed by Merijn Bellekom, a Dutch student studying chemistry and computer science. One of Merijn's programs, Hijackthis, is an essential utility to help find and remove spyware, viruses, worms, trojans and other pests.
This is a basic guide to understanding the HijackThis logs, what specific sections mean and some tips on reading it yourself. Although its best to have a knowledgeable person help you examine the Hijackthis log and decide what to remove, its helpful to have a basic understanding of what the different sections mean and how they work.
In March 2007, Merijn sold Hijackthis to TrendMicro because he didnt have the time and energy to update it and support it. Trend Micro has incorporated many of Merijn's changes, updates, and fixes and released a version 2 of Hijackthis.
Download HijackThis
To Download the original Hijackthis, click on the following link.
http://www.pchell.com/downloads/HijackThis.exe
To Download the NEW HijackThis 2.0, click below
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php
New Features
The newest feature of HijackThis 2.0 is a button called AnalyzeThis that will upload your HijackThis log to the TrendSecure website and compare it to other uploaded log files. You can see a sample screenshot by clicking here. Unfortunately I was hoping for more from this feature, although it does give you a rough estimate of the number of users that have a particular file in their logs as well. For the novice user however this doesnt explain WHAT the file does and if its really a threat or not. A better online tool to analyze the Hijackthis logs is found at http://www.hijackthis.de. There you can either cut and paste a copy of your HijackThis log or upload a log file from your computer to analyze. This information returned from the HijackThis.DE site is much more helpful in determining good and bad items in the log. For a screenshot of the Hijackthis.de analysis click here.
There appear to be other minor modifications as well.
Overview of items in the HijackThis logs
Each line in a HijackThis log starts with a section name. (For technical information on this, click 'Info' in the main window and scroll down. Highlight a line and click 'More info on this item'.)
R0, R1, R2, R3 - IE Start & Search page

R1 - HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain,Default_Page_URL=http://www.google.com/
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
What to do:
If you recognize the URL at the end as your homepage or search engine, it's OK. If you don't, check it and have HijackThis fix it. In cases like a hijacker you may want to leave them til later but in general if you dont recognize it, fix it.
For the R3 items, always fix them unless it mentions a program you recognize.
F0, F1, F2, F3 - Autoloading programs
F0 - Changed inifile value

Thank you for all that you have given me
I remember when we first spoke, as if we have known one another for years. Our conversations went on as if the seasons were changing with no disconnection of the line. Never could I have asked the Lord for anything more assuring or hypnotizing than the soothing tone of your voice and the words lingering off them. You made my days sunny even though the nights rained on endlessly.
We completed one another; you thought that no good woman existed and then you met me. How I long for you to know that the feeling is mutual, that I have never met a man that can read though me and explore my inner core. Please keep in mind that I will not take your heart, that I hold, for granted. I will replace it with mine, so you know I wouldn't be able to breathe without it.
You are a splendid jewel she released and I grasped. Never would I let a soul take you away or bring harm near you. The day I looked into the blue recesses of your soul - correction: my soul, I knew no force could ruin the joining of two souls.
Soul mates do exist and now I have learned that there is beauty behind all imperfections. It took us both years of hurt and pain and it has paid off. It's true when they say, "God makes you meet a few wrong people, before you meet the right one, so you will be able to appreciate and understand their worth."
Thank you for all that you have given me and that you continue too
I just want a day when it's just you and me.
I miss you when you're gone. I miss you when you're sitting so close to me and I can't touch you. I miss you when you smile that smile at me. I miss not having you in my life, even when everyday you are.
I want you like you'll never know. I want your entire heart and soul. I see your face, I see your heart. I want your love, I NEED your love, but I won't tell you because I can't. I cannot tell you how I feel, because I know you're just my friend. I know that you're happy with that. I know you're not looking for someone to love. I know, I know, I know! But, I don't understand; I don't understand why it has to hurt so very much when you laugh, when you get so close. I don't get that. I don't know how to move on, I don't know how to let myself live without you. I just don't know!
I just want a day when it's just you and me. I just want a day when my heart can sing true. I pray to God every day that you'll tell me that you want me the same way I want you. I beg every day to an unseen force that you will one day be mine.
I'm moving away, but I'm leaving my heart with you. Forever and for always, it will belong to you. Don't tell me if you don't love me, but please for the love of God, please tell me if you feel the same way. If you don't love me, please stop looking at me with those eyes, please stop touching my arm, please stop - just stop, because my heart loves you. My heart NEEDS you, but without you, there really is no point. So please, for my sanity, love me, or leave me. Stop teasing me like this.
Forever and a day,
Oh, My Love!
Every day I wake up thanking God for you. You have given me so much, and I don't know if I will be able to give back all that you have given me. You have been my guiding light when I was lost. You have been my comforter through all my trials and sorrow. You have been my rock.
Sometimes I feel lost and out of touch, but when you’re there, I feel safe. Your voice soothes me. I could sit here and try to tell you just how I feel, but I can't find the words other than I am ecstatic we met and have gotten together after all we've gone through.
I want to tell you that the love I have for you is undying. It is a love that is strong and enduring and will stand the test of time. I truly feel blessed that you have become a part of my life, and I cannot wait for the day that we can join our lives together. I want to lie next to you at night and fall asleep in your arms. I want to wake to your beautiful smile. I want to share in your joys and sorrows. I want to be your everything, because you are everything to me.
I promise to always love you and always hold you in my heart. I will always be here for you when you need me, and I will love you no matter what life brings us. You are my soul mate, and I vow to love you all eternity. I love you, baby.
sorry I lost you
Then took years to find you
I thought my life had no meaning
Till you were in it again
I tried searching high and low places
But still there was no sign of you
I tried my headrest to forget you
But how could I forget you
When my heart wept
I lived my life knowing you where out there
Searching for me
Now we see that life couldn't possibly be true
That on this day
I was going to lose you
On this day
It destroyed me.
I'm scared to fall in love
I'm scared to fall in love, scared to fall fast, because every time I fall in love... it never seems to last.
I'm so sad when you're gone. Come back soon. Miss you!
In my dreams and in our love for 1 another there are no impossibilities.
Love is like quicksand - the deeper you fall in it the harder it is to get out.
You're just my cup of tea.
Love is like the truth, sometimes it prevails, sometimes it hurts.
Love is not something you feel. It's something you do.
Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was choice, but falling in love with you was completely out of my control.
My girlfriend told me, I should be more Affectionate, so i got two Girlfriends.
My heart is breaking since you went away
My love belongs to you.
My love is ever in your service.
One good thing about internet dating: you're guaranteed to click with whomever you meet.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.
To feel love gives pleasure to one; to express it gives pleasure to two.
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world
True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.
True love never lives happily ever after - true love has no ending.
Trust, Love & Keep Moving (Growing)
We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.
We must love one another or die
When you left, I stopped smiling
Where ever I go, whatever I do, I carry a little part of you with me right here in the center of me heart.
Who cares whether this is a poem or rhyme, I will love you until the end of time...
With love and patience, nothing is impossible.
You gotta learn to laugh, it's the way to true love.
You need Money to call someone Honey.
You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.
You touched my heart and changed my life for the better.
You're the icing on my cake. What's that? Chocolate, of course...
You're the laughter in my life.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Your love's better than a cold beer on a warm day. Almost...OK then, definitely!
Your love's better than a home run with the bases loaded.
Your love's better than chocolate.
