30 Day Challenge - Make $10 In A Month And Find Your Niche
August 3, 2007
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I recently joined the 30 Day Challenge, where you learn to find a niche and make a few bucks from it. I’m no blogging expert, so I thought it couldn’t hurt to learn something new. Internet Marketing is the keyword in the challenge.
I went through all the Pre-season stuff, where they tell the newbies about StumbleUpon, delicious, twitter, facebok and Firefox and Firefox extensions, such as SEO for Firefox and Session Manager. Nothing new to learn there. Ed Dale, who made most of the introduction stuff, did teach me one thing, Bloglines. Until now I’ve been content with iGoogle, but now I see why Bloglines is so popular. I’ve decided to give Bloglines a shot and I’ll make it my homepage. Let’s see how it goes.
Anyway the challenge started August 1, so you can still make it. All you have to do is register and find a team on the forum. I’m still looking for a team, somehow I missed the email (curse the company and private spam filter) that it had started, so I just got in today.

Windows Vista Performance And Reliability Pack Unofficial Release
July 30, 2007
I found this one Neowin:
Remember these patches goes live next Tuedays, so they are official, just not released.
Thanks Nekrosoft for the news on this major update to Windows Vista that should for most of us improve the speed and reliability of Windows Vista significantly!
Please note: These fixes break all current methods of bypassing driver singing requirements except the good old F8 during boot (that you have to do every single time you start vista)
IF you are using Rivatuner, atitool and or Peerguardian on 64bit vista, you will have to use F8 every single time to disable driver signing requirements to use those two programs. x86 version is unaffected.
These updates should go official on the next patch Tuesday (in one weeks time). Please read more for the download links and information on these updates.

Moving To Another Domain - What I’ve Learned So Far Part 2
July 19, 2007
As you might know I recently moved from www.petersen-inc.dk to www.thebetanews.com. In this article series I will explain about my experiences during the move. Read the first article before reading on.
Alexa:
I’m proud to say that my Alexa Rank has improved a lot since last week. One week ago it was 1,036,749. Today it’s 412,833, so 200,000 more and I’m back to “normal”. I expect it to keep falling, but maybe not as much as previously. If you want to know how to improve your Alexa Rank, then read my post here.

FIFA 2008 News Is Launched - It’s Time To Start Experimenting
July 19, 2007
Three weeks ago I launched my second site - FIFA 2008 News. It has the latest news about EA Sports’ coming FIFA Soccer 2008 featuring interviews, screen shots, trailers and demos and press releases directly from EA Sports’ Press Room.
It all started out with an article I wrote for Connected Internet, which quickly became and is one of the most read on the site. Everton Blair suggested that I started a site up with FIFA 2008 news, I’ve done that and I’m proud to say that traffic is growing each day.
This is my first attempt at a “real” niche blog. I’ll try a few experiments on it.

Moving To Another Domain - What I’ve Learned So Far Part 1
July 12, 2007
On July 3rd (my birthday) I moved from www.petersen-inc.dk to www.thebetanews.com. In this series I explain my progress week for week, building up the traffic, Google Page Rank, Alexa Rank, Technorati Autority, link backs and so forth.
The Background
Originally petersen-inc.dk was meant to be my personal space with my resume, family photos and other personal stuff, but during winter 2005 I discovered Wordpress and the whole blogsphere. Before that I really didn’t think much about the whole blogging thing, except I sometimes found some useful information there. Now everything took a turn. I started to write about new movie trailers, Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft Office 2007 and generally funny stuff I found through StumbleUpon.

A Huge Dilemma - Which Mp3 Player Should I Buy? iPod Or Zen Vision M?
July 10, 2007
My old Apple iPod needs an update. I think it’s a 2nd generation (the one with the faulty battery), but it has several issues.
Now here is my dilemma - Which Mp3-player should I pick? An Apple iPod or a Creative Zen Vision M?
I’m more of a feature guy than a design freak, so the looks doesn’t matter. I’m aware that iPod is thinner than the Creative Zen.

Apple iPhone Is Hacked
July 5, 2007
In less than 6 days the Norwegian hacker, Jon Lech Johansen managed to hack the Apple iPhone.
A lot of hackers tried to be the first one to hack it, but DVD Jon was the first one to bypass the activation codes. In order to hack the iPhone you have to use a program called Phonce Activation Server 1.0 and some “magic numbers”.
After the hack the iPhone can be used as an iPod, to browse the net and read mails using WiFi. You still have to activate the iPhone, in order to use it as a phone.
It won’t be long before the SIM-card is hacked too.
Another way to avoid activation is to use a SIM-card from an already activated iPhone, but you can read more about that on the Apple iPhone Hack WiKi.
