geeky tutorials, tips, guides and reviews
As Mitchelaneous moves into it’s seventh year of bringing you the best of well, whatever I happen to be bringing you for the day, I want to spread the love around. I’m looking to accept your articles, tips, resources and more to be published right here on Mitchelaneous.com. At the current date and time, you would be exposing your work to around 15,000 visitors a month and over 800 RSS subscribers. What do you have to lose?
Mike Muise, one of the tech geek, pretty good writer and business development mastermind has started up his own blog over at DroptheMike.com. I’m always excited to highlight interesting people in the hosting and domains universe and Mike does fit the bill there.
In the hope to drum up some interest in the new project, he is also giving away a Ipod Nano (to one lucky winner) for those who spread the word about him. Heck I would have done it for free too. Shameless promotion aside, reading some of his posts he has up thus far I am highly impressed and can’t wait to read more. Might have to try to get him on the podcast too.
It is always interesting to see what posts make the popular list and which ones do not. For obvious reasons, my post on Candice Michelle wallpaper is a traffic grabber for obvious reasons.
Here are some of my most popular posts for the last month or so.
As you can see it is all over the board. Popularity can be a funny thing sometimes.
When it comes to podcasting, it take a while to tweak things around and find the best way of doing the job that needs to be done. I have talked with a lot of fellow talking heads – and this tip seems to be pretty popular.
When recording, if you think you sound a little funny – put the microphone above your nose or near your eye. You might have to turn up the mic sensitivity a little ‘bit but it will sound better. This is for people who think they sound too nasally or who might have a problem popping their p’s.
Also if you are a heavy mouth breather (no – I mean that in a good way) this could keep you from sounding like you just ran a three mile race before recording.
Ever wanted to come write for me?
In hopes to open new folks up to even more great writers and personalities out there on the Web I am going to open my blog up to new “guest bloggers”. There are a lot of great people out there – and many of them you probably have never heard of. Well that is – till now.
So what are the requirements?
What do you get? I’d be more than happy to toss an “author” credit your way as well as a link back to your own project so people can get to know more about you. If your spot becomes more permanent you might even get a cool little bio on here too.
If your interested, and you want to write about the above mentioned topics you need to have a passion for – drop me an e-mail at mitch@mitchkeeler.com and I’ll be in contact with you soon.
I once found myself in the group of folks out there that didn’t like devices that do more than one thing. Who needs a talking toaster that makes you coffee?
Well I am happy to say that changed when I got my Panasonic DMRES35VS VCR/DVD Recorder.
Here’s a little official copy about the device:
It doesn’t get a whole lot easier than this. Keep a stack of DVDs, and you’ll never miss another program. One touch recording can be set to keep from recording over your favorites, and you can even watch one program while recording another with Time Slip. The Direct Navigator shows you thumbnails of every program on the disc as you browse through your burgeoning collection. You’re on your own, however, to figure out where to find the time to see what’s been recorded.
What is the major pro for getting this device? Well for me I have boxes and boxes filled with old VHS wrestling tapes that will probably never be released to DVD. I had been copying them from the VCR to the computer, and then burning them – but that just takes time I do not have. With my new toy here I can just start it up and let Panasonic do the rest of the work.
So if that is the pro, where is the con? Well the only bad thing I can say about it is it takes a college degree to figure out how to work all the features that come bundled in with it. I have learned the basics of copying a VHS tape to DVD – but the fancy stuff I will have to leave for another day.
All in all I am very happy with it though, and if you find yourself in the same boat I would highly recommend it.
The shared Web hosting that we all see from day to day isn’t the only type of Web hosting plan out there. You also have the dedicated Web hosting plans. Now you have heard the name before, but do you know what it really means? Well I’ll do my best to tell you (as well as give you a handful of other hosting goodies) on this week’s episode of the Web Hosting Show.
What is the number one best way to get more clients coming in to a Web hosting company? You have to get folks talking about you. On today’s show I’ll talk about a few cheap methods on how to get that done as quickly as possible.
