Optimizing Images for the Web

For image uploaders. Why bother optimizing your images for the web?

Large file size images loads longer. The longer the waiting time for your viewer, the higher probability of losing a visitor. It also affects your upload time.

Images directly uploaded to the web from your cameras are heavy. Optimization can produce drastic change in file size, uploading and loading time for you and your visitors.

With the right balance between quality and compression, visual fidelity of your images will not be lost. Experiment on it, just remember, don’t do it on your originals. Create a copy of the file you want to optimize and do your compression on the copy. That way your original is safe.

Same thing too with photo editing, always keep your originals unaltered. Edit a file copy.

Almost all photo editing softwares have options for changing pixels and dimension. Use it and see how it reduces your image size and how it affects the quality of your image on different ratios of compression. And also, keep the aspect ratio (proportion). You might not want to have your pictures stretched vertically or horizontally.

Enjoy faster uploading and loading of your pics! Happy viewing!!!

RapidShare Walk Arounds

If you are not a RapidShare premium account user, you’ve probably encountered downloading problems such as waiting times and exceeding download limits. Here are some walk arounds I have stumbled upon. Be careful though with some of the procedures and I suggest you scan the files first if the procedure involves downloading and installing some files.

Here it goes:

1. Short-Out the JavaScript:

1. Goto the page you want to download
2. Select FREE button
3. In the address bar put the following: javascript:alert(c=0)
4. Click OK
5. Click OK to the pop-up box
6. Enter the captcha
7. Download Your File

2. Request a new IP address from your ISP server.

Here's how to do it in windows:
1. Click Start
2. Click run
3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
4. When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new line.

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit

5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.
6. Try the rapidshare download again.

Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometimes you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a static IP address, this method will not work. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.

3. Use a proxy with SwitchProxy and Firefox:

1. Download and install Firefox if you have not already
2. Download and install SwitchProxy
3. Google for free proxies
4. When you hit your download limit, clean your cookies and change your proxy

4. You can use a bookmarklet to stop your wait times:

1. Open IE
2. Right Click On This Link
3. Select Add to Favorites
4. Select Yes to the warning that the bookmark may be unsafe.
5. Name it "RapidShare No Wait"
6. Click on the Links folder (if you want to display it in your IE toolbar)
7. Click OK
8. You may need to close and reopen IE to see it
9. Goto rapidshare and click the bookmarklet when you are forced to wait.

5. OWN A RAPIDSHARE 1 year PREMIUM ACCOUNT

Follow these steps:
1. Create a paypal PREMIUM Account at this address. It is FREE;

http://www.paypal.com

When asked for credit card details simply say cancel. You do not need
to fill it.

2.Then go to the following link;
http://www.AWSurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=marques1987

Join this site. It is also FREE. You get paid for completing surveys
over there 6$ to 4$ dollars per survey and 1.25$ per referral thats a
lot u will get a
premium account of 1 year in weeks time ......i myself have a 1 year
premium account and now i am collecting some exta cash .

4.. Another thing you can also use paypal money to buy stuff on ebay
and other shopping sites.

6. Download this:

Demolisyon sa Likod ng QUEDANCOR

Bago pa lamang magsimula ang taong ito, akin nang napagalaman na may magaganap na isang malaking demolisyon. Ang kadahilanan, ang pagkabulok at paglamon ng kalawang sa pundasyon ng isang istraktura na nag silbi at pinakinabangan ng may karamihan ding bilang ng tao.

Sumapit ang kalagitnaan ng taon at nabatid na ito ng mga taong apektado. Unti-unti silang nagsilisan. Ang iba ay nagpakalayo, habang ang iba naman ay nanatiling nariyan lang sa tabi-tabi at nakamasid.

Ilang buwan na rin ang nakalipas ng magsimula na ang mga gawain. Unti-unti nang nagsimula ang mga ingay. At unti-unti na ring nalantad sa aking mga mata ang kabulukan. Madalas mo nang maririnig. ang ingay, patindi ng patindi, naka ririndi. Marami ang nangangamba, lalu ng yung mga nasa baba.

Kami ba ay maaapektuhan?

Malayo ba kami sa panganib?

Ang iba naman sa itaas ay tumatanaw lamang.

Sa ngayon, humihina na ang mga ingay. Panaka-naka mo na lamang itong maririnig.

Patapos na ang demolisyon, subalit wala pang kasagutan sa aking tanong ng una kong mabalitaan ang mga naganap.

Ano ngayon ang gagawin ng mga tao sa QUEDANCOR?

Ang tinutukoy ko pong Demolisyon sa Likod ng QUEDANCOR,

Ang pagwasak sa lumang gusali ng naunang Super Palengke at naging Glori Supermarket hanggang sa ito ay nasunog (matatagpuan sa likod ng QUEDANCOR), dahilan ng pagrupok at paghina ng pundasyon nito.

Delikado na ang lugar para sa mga gumagamit na jeepney drivers at mga nagtitinda kung kaya’t inabisuhan na sila at unti-unti na ring nilisan ang lugar.

Maingay ang mga makinang gumagawa dito kung kaya’t ako’y nagpapasalamat at ito ay patapos na.

Ngunit ang tanong ay nananatili.

Ano na ngayon ang gagawin natin?

Pababayaan na lang ba natin ‘yan?
