The Need For Speed Computer Style

In my last post I talked about some measures that I’ve taken to speed up my WordPress blog and while this is something I have to do every now and again I’m lucky enough not to have to worry about my PC. I used to worry about it some time back when I used to take ages deleting old files and stuff in order to get the old gal to go a little faster but now I’ve got a little utility to do it for me.

The program I use is called TuneUp Utilities and I’ve set it up to scan my computer every Friday. So, every Friday at 5.15 pm it searches the hard drive and corrects any registry problems, removes invalid shortcuts, frees up disk space and optimizes hard disk performance.  As you can see from the following image of the start page although my PC is fully optimized I have one problem that threatens my overall computer health. Clicking on the link tells me that I haven’t checked the hard drive for errors over the last three months and that I should check it for errors using Tuneup Disk Doctor which it’s now doing as I write this post.

I admit it, I’ve been slack because although it does a rudimentary cleanup of the system during it’s weekly checkup I do need to manually optimize it occasionally just so as to make sure it doesn’t delete files that I still need.

What I like most about it is it’s ease of use as everything works at a click of the mouse and whenever it comes across a problem it tells me clearly what it is and gives me a selection of solutions that will resolve the problem that is easy to follow. Just as an example, as part of the optimization process it presented me with a list of programs that were rarely used and upon my order removed them from the computer. A whole lot easier than going through the ‘Add Remove Programs’ Windows option.

So, just to summarize here are some of the tasks that TuneUp Utilities will do for you.

  • Secure data protection
  • Reliable data recovery
  • Dependable registry cleaning
  • User friendly controls
  • Simple and thorough 1-click maintenance
  • Individual Windows styling

If your computer isn’t running at it’s optimum level perhaps it’s time you tackled the problem by utilizing TuneUp Utilities arsenal and what better way than by making use of their free trial offer.

Being Real BloggerLuv And Huge Breasts

Man, my weeks been pretty crappy, I’ve had so much on that I haven’t had the time to do what I love best, blogging. It’s probably going to take a while before things get to normal so until that happens I may not be able to reciprocate all the comments left on the blog, but I still gonna do my best to reply to those that need my interaction.

Even though I’ve been flat chat I’ve still had to time to do some reflection and one that came my way was what it was to be real. I reckon one of the reasons I don’t like reality TV is because it’s so false. I mean come on, if  Survivor was supposed to be Reality TV they would dump on an island full of cameras for a couple of months and then come back to see what was left of them and who actually survived.

To me being real means not being false. You guys know how I like to use visual aids to to make a point so I want you all to have a close look at this video. I know you guys are going to focus on the tits and I apologize for putting you ladies through this but it’s important as it highlights my point. Oh, and you may want to turn your sound up a little.

So, what did that video demonstrate? It shows how being false isn’t a trait that one should strive for and yet there are many people in this world who wear it like a glove. Yet this post isn’t about being false, it’s about being real, and to demonstrate that aspect of it I want to recommend a particular blogger who I consider to be very real. That blogger is John Sullivan of PotPolitics fame, a person who I’ve known has always been known to tell it just as it is. A person who is in it to help others wherever he can, whether it’s through one of his blog posts, through promoting a blog by a subtle Tweet or Digg or even by giving helpful advice.

Well John has developed a very special site with bloggers in mind, a site aptly named BloggerLuv! As a member you get your very own profile page, and as you can see by mine it is very versatile.  OK, maybe I shouldn’t have used mine as an example as it still has a long way to go, but then like I said at the beginning of the post I haven’t had all that much time to get it looking the way I want.

Anyway, you can personalize this page by adding blocks and modules that will display almost anything including your very own adsense ads or affiliates of your choice. You see John has been very kind to do what you like with this page but I strongly suggest you don’t overdo the ads as it would be better to use it to let people know a little more about you by letting them sample the things that you like from photos to videos as well as your favorites that includes stuff like songs, movies, actors books and the like.

Honestly there is so much I haven’t discovered yet on BloggerLuv and I’m looking forward to the adventure of discovery. I reckon it would be so much more fun is you all came and joined me. Remember as a member not only do you get to promote yourself and your blog, you also get to interact with other bloggers around you.

One last thing, John is looking for people to nominate The Coolest Blogger On The Planet and I’ve nominated my mate Mitch and not just because he uses tantalizing photos in his post either LOL. Why not pop in and nominate the blogger that you look up to.

Stand By Me And We Will Become Better Bloggers

I got a link in my email today that lead me to a site where I was able to listen to the old song Stand By Me by Ben E. King. I’ve always liked this song but this time when I listened to it I was blown away as it involved the participation of musicians from around the world, adding their part to the song as it traveled the globe.

I immediately tweeted the song to give it more exposure and so that my followers could listen to what I believe is an inspirational song. Problem is that I know not everyone who follows you on Twitter will always click on a link and so I thought it best to post it on this blog, along with a little poem I threw together for the occasion.

As long as the Net exists
People will move about
Bloggers will come and bloggers will leave
But I will always be around
As long as you stand by me

If I get put down on
If I was to get abused
If the A Listers should mock me
It won’t matter, it won’t mean a thing
Just as long as you stand by me

It’s so hard if you stand all alone
There’s only so much one person can do
If only we can learn to stand by one another, you’ll see
That we are no longer alone
So please won’t you stand by me.

Even though the title of the blog is stand by me and we will become better bloggers, I meant the word ‘me’ to cover more than myself personally, rather I want us to embrace others into the fold by helping them to improve, and this can be done in many ways that does not include belittling them!

OK, enough of that, now I want you to turn up your speakers and to sit back and enjoy the best of Stand By Me.
