Stress is the “wear and tear” our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative feelings.
Most of us experience stress at work, maybe while giving a presentation, racing to meet a deadline. Remember how your heart was pounding and you were breathing harder?
I am not a doctor or anything but this is what i do when i am stressed: Most of the time I take 15 to 20 minutes to sit quietly and maybe play an online game. Instant Chess has been a perfect solution for me.
It will take you 10 secs to start a game, usually one round of chess could take 15 mins with a possibility of limiting the time frame. In those 15 mins you will think in a fast way, unload your stress and recharge your energy (at least it worked with me).
Anyway, enough with the words… why don’t you give it a shot ? www.instantchess.com and tell me if it worked.
By the way i wrote this article in order to get a free subscription… Yep !! Thats even possible Wish me luck hehe
Last time i was so eager to watch a movie was when ‘pirates of the caribbean’ was released.
It was mmm rather not what i expected.
This time its Elizabeth - the golden age. The movie was released 1 week ago here in lebanon. I intend to watch it in the coming 5 days ( If i make time ) .
Last night I couldn’t remember a website I’ve already visited, thank God for Google History.
While browsing away i took a look at my trends and here they are:
My top sites of all times are:
1.ubuntuforums.org
2.svn.haxx.se
3.www.linuxforums.org
4.www.google.com
5.www.debian-administration.org
6.www.computerhope.com
7.www.ajaxload.info
8.wordpress.org
9.en.wikipedia.org
10.digg.com
The weird thing is that i though my top site should be digg.com or google.com… could google be mistaken ? ? ? i dont think that i visited svn.haxx.se more then google.com… weird ha ?
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
As you have probably noticed my wordpress is now upgraded to 2.3.1 :D.
While upgrading i decided that what the heck, i will download a new theme and install it. After searching and searching and searching and then i searched a little more i found and settled on K2.
K2 is an advanced template for the blogging engine WordPress started by Michael Heilemann, who also wrote Kubrick (the default theme of wordpress).
As the developers said: ‘It won’t make you coffee, sing songs of sweet regret or sit at your bedside when you’re ill, but it might make life just a tad bit easier for you.’
Some of the most cool stuff i liked about it are:
1- Ajax search bar (on my top right sidebar)
2- The ability of dividing the blog into 1,2 or 3 columns from the K2 sidebar management
3- Its very flexible management menu (view screenshot)
It seems that google AdSense is getting less popular day by day !! Last week 3 of my friends removed their AdSense ads:
ekhoury.com, vcoders.com, exoleb.com.
From my personal point of view, Google AdSense has conquered the web and have no real competitors… they know that ! The problem is that they (AdSense) don’t encourage you to join in, no signup bonus money, very low click rate and getting lower, their ads are getting more and more boring because you see them everywhere on the web.
What is needed now is another competitor for google AdSense, I was referred by Elie Khoury (ekhoury.com) to WidgetBucks. I have tried it and here are the pros:
1- Easier to setup
2- Better looking ads
3- 25 $ signup bonus money
4- Higher click rate
5- Their ads open in a new page
6- They are new and exited
So why not ? Maybe WidgetBucks will even improve AdSense in a way
I really advise you to try it, you wont regret it
Wish me luck hehe
