Wordpress is marked as crashed and should be repaired
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Bad things can happen to good blogs, you should live by that motto. I have said it time and time again, but you don’t know how well you live it until something really does go bad. Earlier today I was greeted with the “your Wordpress such and such database was marked as crashed and should be repaired”. For all of you that will see this error all is not lost as opposed to what many other sites will tell you. Simply put your MySQL database has become corrupted. This seems to be happening more and more lately, just try doing a search for the errors. Many people just throw their hands up in the air and shrug their shoulders loosing months and maybe even years of data.

Get Dugg with five words
I have been looking at the articles that got Dugg to the front page of Digg and some headlines from other sites and am seeing a pattern. It looks like most of the successful article’s headlines are five words. It may seem hard get your point across in five words but maybe thats not the idea.
Google GrandCentral Invites for Comments
We got this idea from DownloadSquad, they are giving invites to GrandCentral for everyone that comes by and comments on their blog. So since I have a whole slew of GrandCentral invites to give away I decided to share the wealth and give away GrandCentral invites for people who comment here.
Gmail TODO lists get things done
Looking for an easy way to organize your to-do lists? As most of my readers already know I use Gmail for everything, so I built my TODO lists there. I simply added a label called “TODO” and then created a filter that takes any email with subject “TODO” and labels it accordingly. Then I forward them via SMS to my phone so they can always be with me. When I complete an item I simply relabel it “TODO completed” so I can look back at things that are done. I am in my email a lot and when I see something in my TODO I have a instinct to want to clear it out which helps me get things done. This is also a great way for other people to send you a TODO. Just let them know that they need “TODO” in your subject.
Add a Taskbar to your Second Monitor
Our much admired friends over at MediaChance have released yet another gem and this time it’s free. This application is for all of the dual and triple monitor setup super productive types. Simply put it adds a task bar to your 2nd or 3rd screen. MultiMonitor will show the applications that are open on only that monitor. A couple of extra bonus features are a clipboard extender that shows up in the lower right of your 2nd display. Oscar the creator of the software also added a button near your minimize button that can automatically move your windows to your primary or secondary display. This is a fiercely useful tool for dual display setups and seems to be very stable, we would expect nothing less from Oscar.
Streakr, Discover a cleaner better organized StumbleUpon
Imagine if you were to mix StumbleUpon, MyBlogLog, and Myspace you would get very close to Streakr. Streakr is a community based toobar much like the well liked and (recently acquired by eBay) toolbar from StumbleUpon. It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and that couldn’t be truer than with Streakr and Stumbleupon. If you like StumbleUpon you will Streakr, so why add another toolbar to your computer if StumbleUpon does everything that StumbleUpon does? The answer is that Streaker just does some things better. The back end of their forums and connecting with other streakrs are just better done. Stumble’s forums really feel like you are stumbling through communication while Streakr is straightforward and feels much like contacting members from MyBlogLog.

A while back ago we were getting ready to write a review on Xinu a web site stats site, when something went horribly wrong. The website went down and when it came back up the author was bailing “I can’t go on with the project because it’s too huge for me, maybe other people with much money can continue”. The fate of Xinu looked bleak. Then the author decided to release the code so others could continue. Recognizing a very awesome tool when we saw one we jumped on board now you can find Noheat.com’s own Xinu powered stats program…
Get WIRELESS Xbox Live for your Xbox 360 without adapter
We have a Xbox 360 in our house and recently got a free Xbox Live subscription and wanted to try it out, however our Xbox 360 is at the other end of the house, and low and behold it is not equipped with an Xbox 360 wireless adapter. It was also too long to run a cable from one end of the house to the other. The Xbox 360 adapter is around $100 in most stores so thats out of the question, seems silly to charge so much for a wireless adapter. So I thought long and hard about how to connect the Xbox to the internet so that we could access Xbox Live. A scour of ebay showed slightly cheaper adapters but you are still paying over $70 shipped to get it to you. There must be another way I thought, there must be a way to get wireless xbox live for your Xbox without the adapter. Turns out there is a couple different choices…
