Fix Linux Display Resolutions
Fix linux display resolutions when your xorg video resolutions are misread, causing display problems on boot like the one in the video, ie. it attempts to display a resolution higher than what your computer can support.
It’s been for tooooo long that I haven’t posted anything
It’s been for tooooo long that I haven’t posted anything since school had always been very busy. Right now since the summer vacation starts, I’ll try to post more frequently.
I also have removed the adsense ads from my blog and replaced them with adbrite ads since they’re not making any money at all and it seemed like it’s gonna take forever to make $100.
Google Map Weird Suggestion
When I got the driving direction to Disneyland in Google Map, it told me to Make a U-turn at Paradise Pier for 259 ft and then stop when I got there. What? It makes no sense to make a U-turn like this.

Blogger Finally Responded My Request to Restore My Old Blog
Today blogger’s support finally restored my old blog angelchen1111.blogspot.com to me. It took me five days to actually get a response! I had to say something like “I emailed blogger support like thousands of time and there’s still no response” in order to get them reply to me. It also said that it doesn’t guarantee that they will restore the deleted blogs to us. So never ever delete your blogger’s blogs because there are always spammers watching for them!
China’s Network Damaged by Earthquake
Yesterday I started to have problem connecting to the Chinese websites. They all seemed to be down. I thought it was my connection’s problem, but it isn’t. It was because the earthquake in Taiwan that “damaged telecommunication cables linking the Chinese mainland, disconnecting users with overseas Websites.” Today the problem seems to get better as I can connect to many websites again, but still there’s problem with the network in China. Many websites are still not working and the connection is still very slow at times, and because of the damage, many users from China can’t open properly websites located in the U.S. or other countries.
Forgot to Take Back the Blog I Deleted Yesterday
I forgot to take back the blog angelchen1111.blogspot.com that I deleted it yesterday. Now somebody took it over and is spamming with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I see the “check computer now” spam when i go to technorati, and when I type in angelchen1111.blogspot.com it will redirect to a “check computer now” spam page! I reported that to google and hopefully they will take care of it. Google should do something to stop it! People are spamming by taking advantage of deleted blogs.

On the website InstantProfitz you “can get automatic rebates for shopping at your favorite merchants – and all sorts of new ones too! This ‘cash back’ is in addition to and separate from any discounts you may get at hundreds of online merchants!” All you need to do is to make qualified purchase at their listed merchants through their links, and you will get the percent cash back listed on their website for that merchant after 30 days.
There are many famous online stores including Radio Shack, Circuit City, Best Buy, and even Half.com on their list; through the links on that site you can save some additional $$$ besides their original discounts.

Godaddy.com offering $1.49 .info domain for sale(updated)
Right now www.GoDaddy.com is offering $1.49 .info domain for sale! Right now it’s even cheaper than namecheap.com! I immediately grabbed some .info domains after seeing that. You actually don’t need to buy anything extra along with the domain to get that price. You can just buy the domain by itself for $1.49!
American Consumer Opinion Affiliate Program Glitches
The affiliate program of ACOP(American Consumer Opinion) is sometimes broken. The affiliate server has been down twice for long time since I joined it, either for the view report page or for the affiliate links. Once the server is down when you try to open one of those pages you’ll get an http 500 server error with the message “Server Error in ‘/’ Application.” There must be an error in the server’s configuration that needs to be fixed.
There’s another glitch in that affiliate program’s design, that the text links are not supposed to have impressions. Since the static text links are just a bunch of code within the web page, when we load the web page we don’t load anything from the server that tracks the link’s impressions. Impressions can only be tracked from the ads that load images, scripts, or others from the server. Because of this mistake I get only one impression in total per many clicks and a click through rate much higher than 100%. That was not possible. The first time I saw this I was frightened, until I realize that they can know how many times the link is clicked, but not how many times it’s loaded.
The other mistake in the affiliate program is that if you use an email address with numbers only in the domain name like ***@163.com or ***@126.com, it rejects the registrations automatically. That affected many users from China since many of them use those kinds of email address. I didn’t realize that until many people told me that they had failed the registration, and they all used those kinds of email address. This glitch is more serious and I hope they fix that as soon as possible.
update: Although There’s some glitches in its affiliate program, it actually PAYS, on 12/23/2006 I got the check from it.
