Alcohol ≠ Fun

Just Hide The ... Drinks
Surprise! You can have fun and not be drunk
You can have fun and not be drunk

There is a common disbelief that someone must be drinking alcohol to be a fun person to hang out with and if someone does not like alcohol then there is something wrong with them – even though the same people who say that never originally liked alcohol come to the question why?

Well, I can answer that one easily. First, most people will claim that alcohol is an acquired taste and thus keep saying you must keep drinking it before you will enjoy it. Well, why most people are like this is simple – they were “forced” by the power of peer pressure to do so believing the best way to have fun is simply just to keep drinking.

Currently not here …

Back when IRC first came around it allowed people to contact another person in real-time and sometime later, Instant Messaging such as MSN, GTalk and others were born. Over time these IM clients involved running on just about anything that has a connection to the Internet and thus with this people started to get used to being able to contact anyone at any time and expect a reply back right away.

I am sure everyone knows that person who will always keep sending messages when you do not reply in less than a microsecond. I am sure you also know the ones that if you do not reply in a nanosecond they say:

Hey Joshu,

I would first like to say sorry about all the distress I have caused your client. I always follow any request for censorship even when it’s a company name and not some actual Government legal agency as I know fully well how important it is to keep a good image. Due to how my backend works for Tweaked for your Pleasure, is it just possible to edit this article rather then taking it down ?

A day without the Internet

The Internet has given society many wonderful things. It has allowed the World Wide Web to work, allows files to be transferred and so much more but has it really gotten to a point where everything we do has to be done online.

The first example is Facebook. I am aware lately so many people are moaning, begging even, about being accepted on my Facebook account or I simply am not friends with them. I am not sure how that works but surely that must mean I chat and only do social things with my friends online. In fact, let me find out.

Saving money for your website

The problem with faster and faster Internet connections is that people have come to expect more and more images, audio and videos on websites and it has got to the point in which we webmasters have to spend more and more money on bandwidth!

While this is to be expected, it is quite a sad fact that these new content such as audio, videos etc do not bring in much of an income so I am here today to give YOU some of the best tips in keeping your bandwidth down.

Images

Images are one of the main reasons for such high bandwidth usage. So what we do is make images smaller and compress them and the user experience does not change. Below is a normal-sized image and to the side is another image showing the image using my tips.

My experience with IntenseDebate

Well, I might as well post this seeing I have used it for a while now I thought I would do an article on it and what I felt about it.

To be honest that to start with IntenseDebate didn’t suit any of my needs at all but now using it overtime, it got to a point in which I honestly can’t see nothing wrong with it and don’t know why I removed it the first time anymore. I first looked into IntenseDebate after I installed the WordPress plugin qTranslate to have Tweaked for your Pleasure in both English and Hebrew.

Sadly, over some time, the comments started to merge into English and Hebrew. This was because qTranslate couldn’t support comments in two languages so it never had an idea on how to do that so it just displayed them both. While this was fine for people whom could read both languages, my “visitors” got to the stage where neither of the two could read the other language.
