Attend an AdSense webinar and learn how to improve your AdSense performance
I got an Email from google concerning a series of webinars (web seminars) over the coming months.
these webinars will discuss google adsense uses and optimization. here is a copy ofthe invitation letter I got:
Hello publisher,
The AdSense Team will host a series of webinars over the coming
months. At our webinars we’ll show you how you can grow your
AdSense revenue in a range of ways, for example by:- using Google Analytics to identify which pages require
optimisation
- making simple changes to your ad implementation
- using Google Ad Manager to backfill your unsold directly-sold ad
inventory with AdSense, and having AdSense compete with your other
ad networksAt each webinar you will also have the opportunity to consult an
AdSense specialist.For more information or to register for a webinar, see
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=22045&sct=20091014-411.
Sincerely,
Siobhan
The Google AdSense Team
I registered for” AdSense Optimisation – Everything you need to know “.
To attend the webinar you will need WMP, Quick time, or just the Flash player 6. and you need to be a Google publisher I think.
Will you be attending a webinar? which one? what are you expecting?
Patriot Memory Flash Disk repair tool
This tool allows you to repair your Patriot Memory flash disk if you are unable to format it with any other method because it appears as Read-only.
This method performs a low-level format to the disk and remove the Read-only attribute.
This tool is not available from the patriot memory website, only the support guys can directly email it to you.
Here is a copy of the email a friend got from the support team on how to use this tool.
Dear Valued Customer,
Attached I have included a software that will low level format and re-initialize the device. Please keep in mind using this software will delete all the data on the drive and restore the drive to its original manufacturer stage.
Please make sure to detach all other flash drives and only have the Patriot Memory drive plugged in to your computer when using the utility.
The file name is been set to Patriot.vin. Once you download the file, rename to Patriot.zip and use the software. Please be aware that this process can only be completed one time!
Patriot Memory Technical Support Team
I have successfully used this tool to repair a patrioit 8GB Xporter. the downside is that according to the support team this tool can only be used once for every flash disk for some reason.
Here is the download link. Patriot Memory 2.9.0.5
please report about the results of using this tool
Good luck
Black screen during cut scenes – Resident Evil 5
Many people using ATI radeon cards have reported that the screen turns black during the playback of cut scenes in Resident Evil 5.
This is yet again another screw-up from our beloved AMD (formerly ATI) programming team.
To allow the cut scenes of resident evil 5 to play correctly, you must use the ATI Catalyst control center to disable “CATALYST A.I” and “ADAPTIVE ANTI- Aliasing AAA”.
If you still have a problem some people reported that reducing the frame rate limit from unlocked to 30 solved the problem, others said that upgrading Direct X helped.
If you still have a problem, let me know, we will work something out.
You may want to check another post I made concerning “how to play RE5 in co-op mode over LAN” and other issues.
Playing Resident Evil 5 over LAN
A great feature of the new Resident evil is the Co-Op mode where you can allow another player to join your game other LAN or the intenet.
The problem is that the game does not allow you to select the network card to be used as a LAN card, it will just choose the default card even if it was a USB modem or so.
So if you have trouble finding you LAN game session. try pressing “Home” in the game menu, from the Live popup menu click settings then Network information. Make sure that the default LAN adapter is your actual LAN network card. If not, here is how to change it.
On Vista, open the “Network and sharing center”
From the left pane select “manage network connections”
press the “ALT key” on your keyboard. the top menus will appear
Select “advanced settings” from the menu “advanced”
Use the arrows to move your LAN card up in the list then save everything.
You should be able to find your LAN sessions now. if not you will have to disable\disconnect all adapters but your LAN adapter.
There has been a big fuzz about this game being racist, its true that this is one of the rare games that allows you only to shoot black people…. and dogs. but this is just a game right? you have shot thousands of white people in the previous versions of RE it would seem ok to shoot few infected black people? I think that just bringing up racism is racist? what do you think?
