Celebrating 100 visitors! – Switching over to Bravenet

Yes, my blog has finally reached that important milestone. On 1 November 2005, my blog had a total of 100 unique visitors, and far many more actual page views. Thanks to all you folks, my visitors for helping me to reach this stage.
So, on this occasion, I thought I will give you people even MORE by adding new services from Bravenet.com

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: This new service will tell you about all the historical events that happened on this day.

NEWS HEADLINES: All the top news headlines from the world of science and technology.

DAILY CARTOON: Feeling down and out? Click on the ‘Daily Cartoon’ button for a few laughs.

TELL-A-FRIEND: Recommend my blog to your friends, click on the ‘Tell-A-Friend’ button.

GUESTBOOK: My guestbook reloaded, literally. Remember the plain vanilla old one? Well, now that’s gone. Instead, visit my new Guestbook, with a Matrix theme. Have your say!

Also, my site has a brand new hit counter, with a cool new design.

In my endeavour to spread the word about this blog, it has been included in the Bravenet Traffic Exchange program. So the popup that you get on loading this site is a website refferal. Please allow it to load so that I can keep on providing excellent content.

HelpOnThe.Net: Tech Support Guy – free help for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, 98, and more!

HelpOnThe.Net: Tech Support Guy – free help for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, 98, and more!

Ever happened that you had some problem with your computer and felt like you needed some tech geek to sort your problems out? This website, Tech Support Guy, is the answer to your problem. Many times, your company (software or hardware) will charge you for support or send you to useless ‘help’ pages. Also, when you actually get through to them, most generally send an email telling you to reinstall your program, besides other trash. Most even add the user to mailing lists, so you can say goodbye to that precious storage space thanks to their ‘special offers’ (although you can opt out from most).

Anyway, on this website, you have loads of forums where you can post your problem and get some sensible solutions to your problems. Anybody can go through the posts, but to put up your own you need to register. Registration is easy and the privacy policy is also OK. I never received spam from them, and it has a very lively user community; they even sent me birthday wishes on my birthday!

After you post your query, other users send in replies. In your preferences, you can enable alerts so that it sends a notification email when someone comments on your post. Most suggesstions are VERY useful, although you do need to keep in mind that this is just what other tech geeks say, it may not work ALWAYS. Also, do use your common sense before following an advice.

Apart from these forums, there are polls, discussions, etc. going on always. You can even subscribe to newsletters. Do check out the discussion forums, they have pretty lively debates!

Happy surfing!
