My Nokia 6680 had exhausted empty battery for a few weeks (needed unlock code ;)) When I tried to switch it on, I was surprised – it wont boot, no screen blinking, not a single sign of life! Battery wont charge (well it won`t show any charging indicator). But as I have Nokia charger with LED light in it, I can see the charger blink when I attach it to the cellphone – some hope for getting it back working without taking it to service ;) So I remembered the hard reset code for N6680 (or any other bb5 nokia) and gave it a try – guess what, my phone was back from the grave :)

Firefox 2 beta 1 is out! You can download Portable Firefox 2 beta or normal versions. The portable version allows you to use it without affecting your current Firefox installation. It allows you to keep all your profile data in one folder, not spread all over your windows drive (program files, documents and settings, etc). You can keep it on usb flash disk and get all your extensions/bookmarks with you wherever you go! (You can also get Portable Firefox 1.5.0.4).

The new features of Firefox include:

• Session restore and “recently closed tabs” (like SessionSaver)
• Spell-as-you-type for spell checking

If you`re interested in SEO, then you should subscribe to www.sitepronews.com newsletter. They always have good articles (dunno if they are original or “private label articles”).

Latest article by Eric Lester is about exploiting in google`s algorithm and how one guy filled Googles index with few billion sp@m pages. He explains that Google indexes each subdomain as independent, so on one domain you could generate countless pages with keywords and AdSense ads. In some previous article they stated, that subdomains add PR to the original domain, so this is even more useful for those who practice “artificial SEO”.

Google analytics is one of the best free tools for web statistics, but now Google makes another step towards web developers. Google posted about its Conversion University – online resource for SEO tactics and optimizing your web page for better conversions (both Adsense and organic). Right now the “university” offers articles in 4 categories:

• Driving Traffic
• Converting visitors
• Tracking and Testing
• Analytics in Context

I`m a enthusiastic Firefox user since it`s early days and I was really pleased with its “tabbing” capabilities. When Opera 8 was released, I decided to give it a try. Opera was fun – fast, intuitive, attracting, full of features. The feature I liked the most was saved sessions – when you closed the browser, it saved your open tabs, so you can get back to them next time you launch your browser. But Opera had some minor problems – it didn`t render all Flash pages correctly. As I am a Flash desiger/programmer, this was hard time for me, so i got back to Firefox. But I couldnt live without saving my tabs anymore, so I searched for Firefox extensions that would do the job and I found it – SessionSaver! It really does the job! It allows you to save different sessions, export sessions with settings so you can import it on another Firefox installation. It also allows you to get back to accidentally closed tabs (like Ctrl+Z in Opera).

This website is about herbal medicine that succesfully treats retroviral diseases like AIDS and hepatitis B/C (and flu of course :)) and also cancer. To most of you this should seem insane and impossible, but i wont go in the details as i`m fed up with explaining :). This works successfully (I know people who have been cured from hep.C and HIV) and completely without side-effects (if you drink it too much, your stomach might ache for a few hours, its based on alkoloids, as from my experience while treating flu).

Site for the same client that ordered www.fotoserviss.com. Its about a group of photographers. Website is built in pure Flash with some php stuff.
LV: Pēc www.fotoseriss.com izveides, tam pašam pasūtītājam vajadzēja izveidot fotogrāfu lapu. 100% flash. Lapa nav līdz galam nostrādāta, jo trūkst dažs labs stimuls :)
