Just learned that one of the reasons why many people are not totally happy with Ubuntu is the lack of support for flash in Ubuntu’s built-in browser Firefox. Basically the flash plugin is not there and you have to manually install it. However, because there are several plugins available people get confused and most often pick the wrong plugin and end up still having trouble view flash videos and movies even after installing the plugin. If you have problems viewing flash in your Firefox in Ubuntu, please read on… Continue reading “How to Get Flash to Work for Firefox in Ubuntu” »

If you used to follow someone on Twitter but have stopped doing that because you are tired of reading about what they had for breakfast, or tweeting that they’re giving their dog a bath, or other ridiculous stuff, you will love this one… it is a new social-knowledge site called TipDrop.
Basically TipDrop is similar to Twitter in many ways but it is much better than it. Here is a list of a few TipDrop features…
- Focus – unlike Twitter which lacks focus, TipDrop allows you to give tips on a certain subject which is one of your tip sheets.
- Interactive – other people going to your tip sheet can add their tips or vote for or against your tips.
- Less chance of spam – since other TipDrop users can either vote for or against your tips, tips getting lower votes drop their ranks – when a tip falls below a credibility score of 1, it disappears off the list.
- More characters allowed – unlike Twitter, you can enter a tip for up to 255 characters long.
- More control – the creator of a certain tip sheet can delete tips they feel are inappropriate.
- Showing your links – Unlike Twitter, TipDrop encourages you to have links on your TipDrop page
- Free signup – TipDrop site is supported and monetized with AdSense ads. The nice thing is, if you supply your AdSense Publisher ID in the user settings TipDrop with share 75% of all ad impressions and clicks from your account pages and tip sheets credited to your own AdSense account.
I think TipDrop will do well and will eventually surpass Twitter if the latter does not take drastic changes.
Check out the first tip sheet I created with TipDrop: how to get your computer run faster on it I proposed a drastic way to speed up your computer.

This weekend I tried to install Windows XP inside Ubuntu 9.04 via VirtualBox on an old computer but was troubled by a serious of GRUB booting errors. First, it was the “Grub loading stage1.5 Read error”. After tweaking the BOIS settings, I could get away with the stage1.5 error but was plagued with other disk reading errors.
Initially I thought it was the 100GB hard disk as I did not have any problem when I changed to another HD (8 GB) and installed Ubuntu and VirtualBox. After googling the internet for solutions, I found that I could solve the problem without taking the hard route of BOIS upgrading, which was recommended by most people. This was what I did and it is pretty simple:
I got into the BOIS settings during a cold boot and simply load the default settings and made the following tweaks for the hard disk settings:
- PIO Mode: manually set to the mode which is detected and displayed in BOIS
- DMA Mode: manually set to MWDMA2 as implied by what was detected
- S.M.A.R.T: [Disabled]
- 32Bit Data Transfer: [Disabled]
Another factor that might add to the problem was that I tried initially to create a home partition and made /home as the mounting point on it when Ubuntu starts. Because of the disk problems, I ended it up forsaking this approach and install Ubuntu the normal way – taking over the entire hard disk so that Ubuntu is running on one partition.
Lastly, to make sure the Ubuntu Live CD was created properly from the .ISO image file downloaded, I chose to use the LOWEST speed, rather than the default maximum speed, to burn it onto a DVD disc.
That’s it! Hope this helps those who have the similar problems and who do not want to go through the pain of upgrading BOIS

Product: Blogger’s Paycheck
If you have not even set up one online blog for yourself because you think it is hard to do, you are wrong. It is much easier than you thought. If you know me, you will know that I am fan of using WordPress to create websites, beside using it to set up blogs. It is so easy to do. In fact, if you set it up using a tool (Fantastico for cPanel or Installatron for DirectAdmin) inside the website control panel that comes with all our hosting plans, you can do it in just a few mouse clicks under one minute!
If you have already set up a blog but have not used it to make some money with it, you have missed the chance to get rewarded for your blogging effort.
Most people just think that blogging is a fun hobby where you can create a website that centers around your family, around your likes and interest or even about things that annoy you. If you learn how to make money blogging, you will look at this in a whole new light. I just learned about a new blogging blueprint that you should read for yourself.
