Accessing the internet without a connection!

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

You can get the printer driver offline easily!
I know this is petty, but I find it humorously bothersome (not really though) when someone says “You can preorder Aqualung’s new album Words & Music offline.” So I can order by phone or reserve one through the postal service because it is offered OFFline? Disconnect your modem! [...]

Update on Wordpress Updates

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Wordpress updates are often needed for security fixes and the most recent additions (v2.5) to usability are pretty nice. The negative end of things is correcting plugin bugs, confirming database integrity, and revising my custom-developed theme. Luckily I don’t have a heavy load of intricate sites that all need updating, but even the few that [...]

Secrets of Alexa Rank and Broken Redirect

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Since the beginning of January, Alexa Redirect links have been deprecated and no longer function. They work as a prevention to get to your site.
It used to be possible to inject your link with a forced redirect from alexa: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://liquidparallax.com would tell Alexa someone is going to my homepage. It was debated whether this [...]

My Greatest Hits: Chart Topping Posts and Personal Faves

Monday, December 31st, 2007

The year is about through and I’d like to scan through the past of liquidparallax.com. I’m usually the person who scolds other site for doing “This Month’s Best Posts Roundup,” but this is slightly different. In over a year of doing this blog, I’ve never put myself in an egocentric position and said “Internet users [...]

Google Key Words Don’t Unlock Doors

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

SEO and keyword ranking is a big deal to white collar internerds, but I look at it as an arbitrary location up to google to shuffle around. I don’t need to be on the front page for the search 11 best 2007 (notice the permalink to that page is /ten-best-places-to-search-free-music/, although I changed the [...]

MySpace Masks Links for Spam

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

I’m not sure when they did it since I’m not a constant user, but MySpace has come out with another flawed improvement on their site. All external links are hidden behind msplinks.com redirects. What does this mean? Well, when you hover over a link that leaves myspace, you’ll see in your status bar a link [...]

Inexpensive Web Hosting

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I’m just a regular guy with some spare web space that is up for grabs for small business/personal sites. If you are sick of the hassles of free hosting like I was or just want to get started on the web, theres ample space here for you to grow even after your site gains higher [...]

Blogging Less Says More

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I notice that traffic-hungry bloggers and web-savvy advertisers tend to follow SEO marketing schemes of creating filler content and fluffing up word count. They claim that it will keep visitors satisfied and search engines will flock to their precious keywords which will increase click-through rates. The latter may be true, but the former is problematic. [...]
