The (Brand New) Car That Blogging Will Buy

Author: Bob

I guess you had heard stories of fellow Pinoy bloggers who were able to buy a used car (just like Abe of yugatech.com) and a brand new house & lot (like Jedi of tsikot.com), thanks to their blogs (and advertisers, i.e. Google AdSense + banner links).

How about a Pinoy that was able to buy a brand new car through blogging?

I will still have to wait for a couple of weeks for my Chery QQ3 (in blue, just like the one in the picture below) to arrive, since my favorite color is currently out-of-stock (available now are models in green & yellow; the red one’s are reserved for Coca-Cola Philippines — around 200++ units).

Blogging is truly great!

Speed Up Windows XP A Little Bit

Author: Bob

Had you ever experienced opening a folder in Windows XP and it takes around 30 seconds to a minute (or even more) before you can actually see the files & folders in it? Mind you, I had experienced this even if my machine is sporting around 1GB of RAM.

As you had guessed, the culprit is Windows XP’s default settings. You see, Windows XP will try to automatically locate network drives, folders, and printers by default. This happens every time you open a folder in Windows XP. To avoid the lookups, go to My Computer. Click on Tools > Folder Options. In the Folder Options, click on the View tab and uncheck the option “Automatically search for network folders and printers.”

This should make your folder browsing a little bit faster (even if you just have 256MB of RAM).
