Wacom Bamboo Fun

I spent a few hours with a Wacom Bamboo Fun over the weekend, and although I didn’t have quite enough time to give it a complete test, I was impressed enough to put it on my shopping list.
Features:

Combines the benefits of pen and Multi-Touch input into one tablet
Use a single finger for navigation and multiple fingers for gestures
Simple gestures make it easy to scroll, zoom, rotate, move backward or forward
Pressure-sensitive pen tip for natural pen and brush strokes
Battery-free, ergonomic pen with two switches
Textured work surface for a pen-on-paper feel
Quick access to user-defined shortcuts with four ExpressKeys
Attached fabric loop conveniently secures pen

The Wacom Bamboo Fun package also includes Adobe Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter Essentials, which is a great deal if you don’t already have them.

ShareCash payment

I made it onto ShareCash’s top earners page a few times last month. And although it’s not exactly a huge amount, they certainly pay a lot better than any of the other uploading programs I’ve tried. And to think, just a few months ago I was actually looking to BUY more hosting to cover the bandwidth on my most popular files. ShareCash are hosting my files, and paying me as well. It’s win-win.

I just attempted to redeem my $75 Google AdWords voucher…

“Sorry, your account is too old to be eligible to redeem this coupon.”

Nice way to do business Google. Send your existing customers a free voucher, then refuse to credit it because our accounts are too old. You really know how to make us feel like valued customers.

Export a favicon from Photoshop

1. Download the ICO (Windows Icon) plugin, and extract it to your \Plug-Ins\File Formats directory.
2. Design your 16×16 icon (or resize something larger), and select “save as”.
3. Select the ICO format, and save your file as favicon.ico.
4. Upload your new favicon.ico to the root directory of your website.
5. Add this code inside the <head></head> section of your pages:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico" />

Not only is this a nicer method than using those online favicon creators, but it also works for making favicons with transparent backgrounds.

ShareCash – better than Uploading.com

Simply upload files and get people to download them, and earn from 20 to 60 cents per download!

After QubeCash went under, I moved back to Uploading.com for a while… but now I’ve moved again – this time to ShareCash. I’ve only been using them for about a month, but so far I’m really impressed. The payouts are much higher, the speed and reliability is better than Uploading.com, but best of all – ShareCash pay for downloads from ANY country! Check them out here.

Need to disable the Wordpress RSS feed? It’s easy. Just paste this into your wp-content/themes/*theme-name*/functions.php file. If you don’t have a function.php file, create one.

<?
function fb_disable_feed() {wp_die( __(‘No feed available, please visit our <a href="’.get_bloginfo(‘url’) .’">homepage</a>!’) );}
add_action(‘do_feed’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);
add_action(‘do_feed_rdf’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);
add_action(‘do_feed_rss’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);
add_action(‘do_feed_rss2′, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);
add_action(‘do_feed_atom’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);
?>
