Understanding a Bloggers Heart

Paul1 Reply

I’ve had so many people talk about why blog? I’ve seen articles about blogging being dead. I say that’s not going to happen, it is the heart of a blogger to talk about what they want to talk about. It comes from the idea that they have the understanding of the what a blogger is!

What’s a blogger?

It’s in the wikapedia as this : “A blog (a contraction of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.”  So what does that say about me? Well let us talk about this in terms we can understand. Having been blogging for the last few months or I should say year(s). I’ve got some things to say about this. Not all bloggers are bad and not all bloggers are professional. I hate to say this but it is the truth some bloggers have never went to school for writing class or other such education. We saw this as a way to talk about what we are passionate about and want to educate others. It comes from a desire to socialize with people who have the same interest and to be part of a greater plan.

How do you find a good blogger?

Looking for good service is essential to finding the bloggers that have the best content. They want you to return to there site to see what else is going on. They want you to tell people to go check this site out. They post regularly and have a conversation with the readers. Having been thinking to myself, how to better make my blog accessibility is the hardest thing with an aging blog. It’s really hard for us to ask for help. Sometimes a blog goes in the wrong direction and we as readers need to tell the blog author what you think by leaving a comment.

Why comment on a blog entry?

It’s not that a comment makes or breaks a blog. It’s the communication from the reader to the author of the blog. You can tell the blog owner or author what you think when it comes to a particular idea or particular way of thinking. Sometimes it is good to say you liked the blog entry or say where we missed it. It’s the idea of washing the feet of the blogger. Yes you sometimes have to wash the feet of the blogger because if he is dirty, you can clean the feet of the blogger. By doing this you make it possible for the blogger to become better on his blog entries.

How to not hurt the blogger feelings!

Even though you’ve not seen a blogger, they do have feelings and want to keep blogging. You can hurt the blogger’s feelings by saying mean comments on the blog or talking bad about a blogger’s website. Most blogs want to make money and I also know how hard it is to keep my blog going. I am playing 2nd Fiddle with my blog and others blog. I want it to be that way to better help my readers.

Is playing 2nd Fiddle as good as 1st Fiddle?

I wonder how many of you play 2nd Fiddle to produce harmony with blogging. I want my blog to be an outlet to better harmonize with other blogs that I read or help out. I am sacrificing a lot to better create a blog that people will come to my site. How have you created harmony with other bloggers? Most of the time we want to be better than others. Guess what? Being 2nd is better than being first in the blog, in my opinion. I can do more and say more than being on top. I don’t have to try to make come up with the hard articles or the ones that are Hot Topics articles. I can say it’s good being 2nd Fiddle and love it from time to time.

You can’t be an executive blogger without first learning to blog!

You have to learn to become a blogger before you can have a successful blog. It’s teaching a child they can do anything they want with-in reason. That’s like a newly created blog, they can do anything if they put there mind to it. That’s why I’ve decided to talk about this topic. I want the bloggers who read this to come back with even more questions or suggest ideas. I find sometimes having questions is sometimes the way to make my blogger better. I throw out questions to get my juices flowing per say. I want to be a better blog and I need you to direct me and encourage me. So I throw this out at you, you want more stuff like this, please feel free to comment. If you want to see something on my blog, Leave a comment.

Paul20 Replies

I just got the new clues and thought we would talk about them this time:

  1. Monday ” A Spanish eye opener.”

  2. Tuesday “ A Shakespearean tragic comedy. “

  3. Wednesday ” A doc famously snubbed by Oscar.“

  4. Thursday ” Dwayne goes to Egypt”

  5. Friday “We’re mad about this one.“

[ad]

I will update as needed when more becomes available!! So Keep watching this link!!

So what does this mean.  I’ve got some of these figured out.  When I’ve figured out the others I’ll post them!!

  1. Abre los ojos | Lionsgate {Translated it is “Open Your Eyes”}

  2. The Winter’s Tale (1981) | PBS[OR] Shakespeare in Love | Universal [OR] Romeo and Juliet | 20th Century Fox Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog [Web Exclusive] | Mutant Enemy

  3. My Favorite Year (1982) | MGM Hoop Dreams | Cast | PBS

  4. The Scorpion King | Universal

  5. Mad Men Season 2 | Lionsgate [OR] Mad About You | NBC

As you can see I’ve not figured out two of them.  If you can help let me know.  Please feel free in leaving a comment.  You can also visit the about me and help me figure those two out!!  All these are just spectulation but I’m pretty sure the ones I’ve figured out are going to come out.

[ad]

*Saturday*
Thanks to all who suggested these on the comments.  If you have any better ones for the others please put it in the comments sections and talk about it.  I’ll will be updating for those who want to watch this as it comes by  day by day!!

*Sunday*
For Tuesday: Someone suggested it might also be Shakespeare In Love, I do not know which one so I’ll let you discuss this in the community!! I was told by my Wife that they had clips on Romeo and Juliet.  I figured I’d share this one with you too.  I don’t think it is a comedy but wife says so.  I figured I put this up and say this is a definate possiblity since they have the clips up right now!!  What do you think?

*Monday*
It seems that suggestion from Sunday was right.  They just translated it to english.  I will update as necessary!!

[ad]

*Tuesday*

Although, I like Neil Patrick Harris acting abilitility. I don’t see how this could be “A Shakespearean tragic comedy”.  I was thinking the above would of been my idea.  I don’t know exactly who thought of these hints but they aren’t always the best.  Can someone explain how this movie is like the hint? I’m totally confused on that!!

*Wednesday*

Again the clues don’t match what came out.  I put in the cast list from IMDB and as you can see there is no Doctor in there? Or anyone who is nickname is Doc?  I haven’t watched the film.  Is there a Doc in there that isn’t on the Cast list?

*Thursday*

Thanks to Laura for that great tip on today.  It wasn’t me who figured this out it was her.  So I thought I would give her the credit that is due to her.  Great job Laura!!

*Friday*

Not sure what they are going to bring out today.  It will probably be
later today after 4pm PST or so.  I guess something fell through! Just got home from work and I am guessing they had a system problem.  Now it’s saying Mad Men Season 2.  I thought so!!  keep checking for new clues for the next one!!

Understanding your wireless Router

Paul1 Reply

Two things to understanding your wireless router is: secure your router and figure out what you router IP is. This can be difficult because a variety of routers use what they called the internal house IP’s.  Check this site out for several brands of Routers, to figure out your router IP:

http://www.answersthatwork.com/Download_Area/ATW_Library/Networking/Network__4-List_of_default_Router_Admin_Passwords_and_IP_addresses.pdf

BTW you can see the default user and password for most of them, so that tells you how important it is to change those ASAP. <VERY IMPORTANT>

[ad]
Now what are these used for? I’ll break it down for the novice users, these are used for your location router. A router monitors the network and directs traffic from the Internet to the computer needing that information. It then has to figure out which computer is asking or sending out packets. How does it know each computer, the router uses its’ own internal ip. It gives each computer a number, usually like something like this:
For Example, A Belkin Router:

  1. 192.168.1.2

  2. 192.168.1.3

  3. 192.168.1.4

  4. so on until 192.168.1.255

Although you will probably not get to the last one if you did, the router would then use  192.168.2.2, 192.168.2.3, 192.168.2.4, and so on same as the ones up there but it would add a 1 to the 2nd ip number. So what does this tell you. Each computer has it’s own internal IP for the router. Onces the router sends out the information on the net, it strips the internal ip and puts your private ip instead, this way the Internet knows where to send the requested packets or information too. Then like I said the router does what it needs to do to get your information to the right computer.

[ad]
Now why tell us about internal IP’s? It is to better understand how your router works for you to get what you need to do out of it. Now you might be asking how do I access the router directly from a browser, that’s simple.  You would just put in your internal IP, use the list that I provide you to find out your internal ip and direct your browser there.  Some routers have what I call a self DNS, that is if you put in the address bar “http://dslrouter” or “http://cablerouter” you would be taken to your routers setup page.  Althought this isn’t on all routers it however is on some of them to better make it easier for you to get to it.

Hulu’s Summer clues — Unleashed Edition 2!

Paul17 Replies

So we just got the new hints for July 21-25.  Just a little reminder, I might be woefully wrong but these are just my thoughts on what will come.   Now here’s the clues:

  • Monday –  “Shermer”

  • Tuesday – “M6-117”

  • Wednesday -“Folkestone”

  • Thursday – “NorBAC”

  • Friday – “Oakdale” New Clue “Serengeti” (Which is

[ad]

Now Those are the clues and I did my research for each.   So Lets see where we go with this:

As you can see, I said who have the rights to the movie or shows.  I also linked that to Hulu’s Company page.  If you can come up with other ideas let me know!!

So these are my guesses.  I could be wrong but I suspect these are the ones.  If you feel you have a better idea of what will come out by all means leave a comment or go to the Disqus community page and leave a comment there!! You can also email me and tell me your thoughts, just go to the About Me page and let me know!!

[ad]

I will update this as needed!!  Just for those people who want to keep checking!!

Update:

For Monday : Like I said I could be woefully wrong on this, I Sure Was.  It’s not Dogma.  I thought they were trying to be indirect.  The Hulu TV show is Wierd Science 1985 Seasons 1 thru 2 is the connection.  I never like the show that much!! 😉

For Tuesday: They must have problems with the system because on the main page it says Pitch black and Summer page it says the Office.  Are they changing it for a reason?  I am guessing they had a system error or something like that and it is the wrong one!!

For Wensday: Yes I know, I am going to be wrong on the flintstones so after due consideration I changed it to to what it might be thanks to the help of a commenter on Disqus.  You should all join and talk about this if you want to help others figure out what it is!!  The more that talk about these clues the more chance on getting them right!!

For Friday: Yes they took that hint off for Friday.  They probably had a problem with it and had it fall through!  It’s an imaginary location in Texas where the dog lives!!  Oakdale, Texas, I’m certain it was that!!  So we will see!!!

*UPDATE* Friday: It seems they might keep the idea of a PBS release.  I am guessing it is going to be a documentary a National Geographic Release!

*Update* Friday: They finally released the awaited clue and it was something I didn’t know they had any affiliation with.  I’m bound to be wrong half the time!! These clues are not the best sometimes!!

*UPDATE #2 For Thursday* They seemed to have published the program details a little to soon.  If you go to the recently added page you will see ReGensis is already on it.  So I was right!!  I already updated the link for it, have fun!!  They Seemed to of hidden that I should of got a screen cap of that!! Oh well, maybe next time!!  The Link won’t work until after 12am PST/3amEST!!

How to get Hulu to add content!

Paul3 Replies

Why do we want to have campaigns?  Easy in order for us to have what we want from hulu we have to get there attention.   It might work and it might not but getting the attention of certain companies is the hardest part of all.  Most of the time the higher rated television companies don’t want to have anything to do with streaming.  They feel it is taking away there core audience.

Is Hulu making it easier for us to watch what we want?

That would be a definite “Yes”  So what do we want Hulu to do?  Easy to put more television shows that we want to watch.  For example here are a few shows and movies that I would like to see come to HULU:

  1. Stargate Atlantis (Sci-fi Channel)

  2. Mythbusters (Discovery Channel)

  3. This Old House (PBS)

  4. Star Trek : TOS to Voyager

  5. The Matrix (all three movies)

  6. Touched by An Angel

  7. KyleXY (You can view it on AbcFamily.com)

  8. 7th Heaven

You’re probably asking how one person can get any of the shows or movies on Hulu?  One person probably couldn’t, but quite a few could.    How You might ask?

Here are Five steps to make it more possible to get what you want on HULU:

Step One . . . . Find people who are also looking to get the shows you want Hulu by blogging. Also by making a comment on the Hulu Blog.  The more people who talk about it and ask for it. The more chance the people who have the ability to do something about it will do something about it.

(*)Step Two . . . . Find an editor that you like on the Hulu Blog that has the same interests that you do and email them asking for information about that show.  You tell them you would like a tv program on HULU.

(*)Step Three . . . Do an Internet Movie Database search and find out who owns the rights for this.  Try to find someway to contact them and tell them you would like that show on HULU, explain why and how it could help them!!

(*)Step Four. . . . Blog about it or email your friends telling them how to contact that same company to be able to view that TV show on HULU for free.  Let them know the more who call the better chance it will eventually get on HULU!

(*)Step Five . . . . Do a Google search with the words “Hulu [Television show or move]”.  See if you can find other blogs that feel this way and make a comment to them about your blog.  The more that know about your blog and what you want on Hulu the better chance the right people will find out!

(*)Remember, Don’t Spam!

[ad]

Although some of this is common sense, it takes more than one person to get your favorite shows onto Hulu.  I wanted to throw out these suggestions.  Most of the cable companies and movie companies don’t want you to stream the videos because they feel they are lossing money but we are the consumer know that’s not true.

This is why I made a blog post about this to better help people get power over these companies.  I feel streaming is going to live past the television age and they need to adjust to what people want.  If you feel like I do, tell people about this blog post or you can also go to my HULU DISCUSSION community area and post you comments there.

Remember We’ve got the power to change the world, one person at a time!!

Hulu is going to be big some day and I’ll be able to tell my grandchildren I helped make Hulu what it is today!! 😉
