This player is HORRIBLE for any kind of advanced usage. No documentation on the configuration file layout. The documentation they do have is very vague and always refers to there customizer tool. They do have a doc that tells you how set up icecast. Um guys. icecast is NOT YOUR PRODUCT. LINK to the documentation on the icecast site and dont just copy/paste the text so your documentation “looks better”. Well people who use databases to control playlists just is not working. There technical support button DOESNT work no matter what checkboxes you check or uncheck. This is a classic of “Im a dummy” product. If you are an advanced user that uses a database back end, stay away from this product. The only thing going good for it is the reconnect to live streams every so often so the users browser does not die. If the Jeroen player did that, Wimpy would be out of business PERIOD.

Even if teh Jeroen player is free, its worth more than what you pay for Wimpy.

By now you have heard about another school shooting here in the USA.  No doubt, people are going to start blaming video games, which is totally untrue.  What is most important to remember here is that more people die in IRAQ each day with suicide bombing and insurgent actions.  These events are not covered as much in the media as a school shooting that “only” killed 6 people.  I put only in parenthesis there because any unexpected death is unfair.  You are here to live your life, not have someone else take it from you.  Its selfish for you to kill anyone, not to mention unethical in and immoral. 

As I last checked, they have not released the name of the shooter and I think they should never release it.  Do not give them any credit.  The people that commit these horrible crimes do it so they can die in the public and try to make everyone else feel there pain.  People will say “we should of done this” or “we should of done that”.  The only people allowed to say that are the parents.  If you want to blame someone, blame the parents.  They FAILED in raising there child with ethics and morals so they would not do such a thing.  If you want to blame someone, do not blame the gun, do not blame video games, do not blame the internet.  Actually you can blame the media as well for the intense covering they give each of these shootings.  The media harp and harp on these kind of events that almost give the perpetrator an infamy and one that will live on in the history books.  We should mark there names from the history books, not have any information on them and just call them gunman.  FORGET who they were, do not pay any attention to whom they were.  The reason that a school shooting is so desirable is because of the media.  The reason they DO the school shooting is bad upbringing.  I expect more school shootings in the future as our “barney” kids, the ones whom were raised by a television, mature up to high school and college age.

Don’t coddle your child with a TV show.  Nurture them like a good parent.

You may or may not know but I started making How-To videos this week.  These aim to help the absolute normal person and try to leave out all assumption.  I guide you thru each step, on screen, to accomplish a task.

So far to date, I have posted 2 videos.  The first being on how to set up your own MySpace social networking site and the second being on how to remove your advertisements from websites you frequent like MySpace and Facebook.

How-to remove advertisements (even on my blog!)

How to set up a social network

Have any questions, feel free to contact me on the right or post in my forums.

Remember the lite brites of days old?  This is a complete revamp of it in the web browser.  I could easily waste hours on this.

If you know me personally, you know that I am a sucker for the next BBD (bigger better deal) and over the past year I have awakened to my “lemming” ways.   Like so many, I would get into a nice program and be fairly interested in the program and just put out one page and let it set.  Guess what, it collected dust.  I have been taking marketing classes for about a year from the Dream Team and they do have some good material, they subscribe to the old way.  Basically, throw money at it and it will grow.  Now being of the class of normal, aka not rich, I never really had money to throw at it.  The money for the classes set me back a bit but I knew I wanted to get into online marketing.  Over the past few months, the more I looked around, the more I started to realize that these marketers are full of crap.  Most blowing hot air trying to get your money by selling more hot air.  I became disenchanted with the business model.  The whole model just was not sitting right on my stomach.  January was probably the best wake up month for me.  I started reading more and more from non-mainstream marketing people that made more sense and actually felt a whole lot better on my stomach.

danny arrington One example is Danny Arrington.  I did not join his list until a few days ago, but the information he is giving out for FREE is amazing.  Most marketers feed you a nice meal but you can only eat the peas without paying.  Danny is holding back a few peas and giving you the meat.  This makes me trust him and I am more likely to buy from him than some mumbo jumbo old schooler full of hot air.  Actually if you want to join his list, which is free and he does not spam his subscribers, click here.  He is just now putting together his Bootcamp series and just finished Day 2.  It just makes sense and he is honestly open with you before you even open your wallet.  Actually I am not sure what he is selling but if he has his hand in it, it will get serious consideration from me.

Another example is blogging.  Yes I blog here, often with very pointed posts, but I have been wanting to run a real blog for a while.  I never really found my passion.  Well I had, I just did not realize it till this weekend.  I started a blog on health.  How to Invest in YOURself.  Now this is not some crappy get rich quick program.  I am actually writing real posts about the research I have been doing over the years trying to get my mind and body to a state of harmony.  If you are interested in Meditation, New Age stuff, or just curious I suggest you take a ponder at it.  Its there for free.  Yeah I know, bad for the wallet but good for my soul.  I have ALWAYS wanted to help people and this is the perfect outlet.

Not sure what the new blog has in common with marketing but perhaps it helps demonstrate a shift of mentality.  I am now focusing on the “product” more so than my “cut”.  I have been blinded by money so long and I will post more on that in my health investment site.
