Ubuntu Problem under Places Menu Fixed

Sometimes there is still some bug in Ubuntu after upgrade when opening Places Menus. It starts Totem, Rhythmbox or any other wrong application but not Nautilus.

The easy fix is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6079168&postcount=12

In summary, the best fix is to edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list removing the offending .desktop entries against the inode/directory entry.

e.g. from:

inode/directory=userapp-baobab-OO53FU.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus.desktop;userapp-nautilus-XXZ2JU.desktop;

to:

inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

There is no need to go through all the places bookmarked changing the "open with" options.

Why I just sold all of my possessions (and killed my Facebook account)

I'll admit it. I'm a bit weird. I always have been. ;)

And maybe you are too, and that's what makes us "special." Or at least that's what our moms always told us.

I like doing "experiments" on myself. I think it's a great way to grow as a person and to learn more about yourself -- which can help in one's personal or business life.

I once read how Leonardo Da Vinci slept only about 3-4 hours a day by taking short 20-45 minute naps throughout a 24 hour cycle.

Many years ago, I tried my own sleep experiment after I found myself pulling a lot of "all nighters."

I decided to go every other night without sleep.

So I would stay awake for stretches of 30-35 hours straight and then crash for 9-12 hours. I got a lot of work done by doing this.

And I was able to do this for about 3 months straight - sleeping only every other night.

There was only one problem... it put me in the hospital.

It had weakened my immune system and I ended up with a bad case of vertigo. Horrible, horrible stuff. I was basically DIZZY all day, everyday, for about 2 weeks until it finally went away.

So I, obviously, went back to a normal sleep schedule and refused to pull "all nighters" anymore. I had bad insomnia for a long time but eventually got over it.

If you're pulling all nighters and going without sleep, I recommend you don't. It's just not worth the damage it can do to your health.

But I've done many other "full immersion" types of experiments on myself over the years, and most of them didn't have bad health results - thankfully. :)

My point is... you can learn a lot about yourself if you take yourself out of your normal comfort zone and really 'challenge' yourself by trying little experiments and personal challenges.

AND I'M DOING IT AGAIN.

Check this out...

I just finished selling (or giving away) all of my personal possessions.

Not too long ago my life consisted of a massive 6-bedroom house (with many rooms I never even went into!) and 5 cars. Yes, FIVE cars. I'm a car guy, what can I say. ;)

I had accomplished what many consider to be the "American Dream." I had the huge house and all the toys. The Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMWs, a Rolex collection, an expensive wardrobe, amazing furniture, a massive home theater, a 1,000 gallon saltwater aquarium, the works.

And now I have NONE of it. And I'll explain why in a moment...

Here are some "quick facts"...

For the first time in over 20 YEARS...

- I don't own a car.

- I don't own any furniture.

- I don't own a TV.

- I don't own any books.

- I don't own a huge closet full of clothes.

AND...

- I don't have a HOME. Not a house, or apartment, or anything.

By now you're probably thinking...

"John, what the hell are you doing!?"

I decided to do all of this because I wanted to do a new experiment on myself...

It's a challenge of MINIMALISM.

If you haven't yet heard about minimalism, or read anything about it, you should. Not only can it (I believe) improve the quality of your life but it can also make your business a lot more profitable.

Minimalism is essentially focusing only on the 3-4 most important things in your life (or business) and ELIMINATING THE REST.

There many opinions on minimalism and how to apply it, and some approach it differently. Do some Google searches for "minimalism" and you'll find lots of great blogs about it.

It's really a growing 'revolution' of sorts.

I don't agree with everything he teaches, but a decent book you can read is "The Power Of Less" by Leo Babauta; and he's someone with 6 kids. That will get you started.

Everyone will have their own take on minimalism. But I'm willing to bet you can benefit from it.

WHAT I HAVE LEFT...

So you're probably wondering, if I got rid of all that stuff, what the heck do I actually have left? And how will I live?

Here's a full list of the only things I now own...

- A small 28L backpack (that holds everything below)

- 5 t-shirts (4 short sleeve, 1 long sleeve)
- 1 pair of jeans
- 1 light jacket
- 2 pairs of shorts
- 1 pair of running/trek shoes
- 5 pairs of boxer briefs
- Assorted toiletries
- Clothesline & large ziplock bag (for washing clothes)
- 1 MacBook Pro 15"
- 1 64GB Wifi iPad
- 1 iPhone 4
- 1 Livescribe Pen & small notebook
- My passport & credit cards

THAT'S IT. That's all the 'stuff' I own. ALL OF IT.

Here's a photo of my backpack (with everything in it) except for my 15" MacBook Pro which is in the photo next to it: http://www.income.com/turnkey/johnbackpack.jpg

But it's also important to note...

I still have all of my money and investments. I didn't pull a Christopher McCandless ("Into The Wild") and burn all of my money. This experiment isn't about that. So I still have all of my businessess (and their assets) as well as a valuable .COM collection, etc. etc.

But as far as personal "things" go, I currently only have what I listed above. I'll explain more as to the "WHY" in a just a second...

WHERE ON EARTH WILL I LIVE?

The answer is... Everywhere.

I am just going to travel the world non-stop for awhile. It may be for a year or for 10+ years. I don't know yet and that's part of the adventure. I have structured things so I can travel the world INDEFINITELY and plan to do so for a very long time.

As many of my long-time subscribers know, I love to travel. I've been to every continent in the world except for Antarctica. (And hope to visit their soon.) But even as much as I love to travel, I was only taking a few trips a year. So now that's all going to change.

BUT TRAVEL ISN'T THE ONLY REASON I'M DOING THIS...

Here's what I've discovered about myself...

My level of happiness all comes down to my level of STRESS.

And my stress level is mostly due to having the feeling of being OVERWHELMED. I had so many possessions to manage and so many things going on in my life that it was making me a bit crazy. (More than I already am.)

I found that my CREATIVITY has really suffered because of this. It's like the brain only has so much available RAM like a computer, and everything we own and do and manage takes up that space. It doesn't leave a lot of room left for creativity.

So essentially, I wanted my brain back.

I wanted to have what I call "Freedom Of Thought." I want to have so few distractions and things taking up space in my brain that I'm free to use as much of my brain as possible to think of exciting new ideas and fully appreciate new experiences.

* I did also realize that all of that "stuff" that I thought was the "American Dream" was mostly based on EGO. But that's a discussion for another day.

As many of my customers already know, late last year I started a new company to develop Video Games. It's been a dream of mine for many years and I finally decided to pursue it. Well, this new business (along with other projects) really demands maximum creativity from me. So I wanted to try this new 'experiment' to give myself the best chance at being able to come up with amazing new ideas.

AND IT'S ALREADY WORKING.

I'm currently on Day 3 of my journey. I moved out of California about a week ago, then spent a few days visiting my family in Florida, and then 3 days ago I 'officially' set out on this "Minimalism Adventure" and flew up to Toronto, Canada (where I am now) to visit my good friend, Dean Jackson.

In the first 3 days, I've already come up with some unbelievable new ideas for my businesses. And this is only just the beginning.

I would like to challenge you to look at your business (and life) and see how you can apply the Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule) and eliminate the things that aren't essential to your goals -- or things that take away from the more important parts of reaching your goals.

I recently deleted my personal Facebook account (that had 5,000 'friends') and it was one of the best things I ever did.

I was finding that Facebook was one big waste of my time. I was logging in multiple times a day and it was robbing me of time I should have been spending on more important things.

Don't get me wrong, I think Facebook has decent marketing uses, but I think for most entrepreneurs it's better used for brands (with Business Page accounts) than as a personal account. For me and all of the businesses I am involved with, Facebook does not fall into the "20" part of the 80/20 rule. PPC, SEO, buying media (which includes Facebook Ads), and other strategies out-produce it by a massive amount. But that's a rant for another day. ;-)

After recently telling someone about what I am doing they said...

"But, John, I gotta tell you... it really sounds like you're just running from life."

To which I replied...

"No, you don't understand, I'm running TO life."

Okay it's time for me to go and pack up my stuff -- even, though, it only takes me about 5 minutes. ;-)

I'm heading to Europe for a few months tomorrow as I continue on my journey.

I'll be in touch soon.

What's HTML5 & Why Should You Care?

If you have read anything about HTML5, you'll know that most webmasters think it is the next best thing to appear on the internet. Everyone seems to be excited about it, but the truth is, there is still a lot of gossip, and a lot of over-rating of the new web language, and we shouldn't be thinking HTML5 just yet. Here are the reasons why we shouldn't jump on the HTML5 bandwagon just yet.

It's not Supported by all Browsers Yet

Yes, the newest browsers like Opera, Chrome, and the new Firefox supports HTML5, but nothing else does, and even those browsers have limited support for the new HTML5 programming. When you use those cool and new tags, you have to style them for backwards capability. You have to code all the CSS3 differently so that the browser can support it and even Firefox needs you to prefix the property names with - moz- titles. And if you want the site to be seen using Safari, you have to use the prefix -webkit-. So when everyone starts using IE7 or 8 (just think of all the people who are still using IE 6) then there are just too many hoops to jump through to make HTML5 work.

Once You Have all the Work Done No One Will Notice a Difference

Now once you have re-coded everything, everything looks the same. The reason why most webmasters love HTML5 is the ease with which it makes headers, footers and those boxes with rounded corners. Rounded corners are a part of Web 2.0 design, and its great that we will be able to make those rounded corners more easily, but we all generally know how to make them now.

What About the Cool New Audio/Video Capabilities of HTML5

Well its great that now audio and video can easily be added, but that's not anything really new. We can still do it using Adobe Flash and if you don't have Flash then you probably don't have the capabilities of running HTML5 either.

What about Mobile Browsing

Now when it comes to mobile browsing capabilities, HTML5 really does seem to be the way to go, but only for browsers that really have full HTML5 capabilities, and none of them have full capabilities yet.

SEO's are Praising the HTML5

SEO specialists believe that the new features on the HTML5 will give search engines more ease in figuring out how to value a given page and its links. They praise the new tags inside the HTML5 saying these tags will help in SEO by showing the search engines that what is located within these tags is not particularly relevant to SEO. But these website areas, or content located within these areas, are already of little importance to the search engines, so this particular new feature of HTML5 is of little help when it comes to SEO.

Will HTML5 Be Important

Sure HTML5 will be of great importance, but it just isn't at the moment. It will still be a couple of years before we can integrate it fully into our web development.

Iptables Start at Boot

To start Iptables firewall automatically when you reboot your server (Gentoo in my case) type in this command line:

iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
/etc/init.d/iptables save
rc-update add iptables default

for APF

rc-update add apf default

Firefox: Enable/Disable HTTP Referrer

You can enable or disable the referrer from being reported to web sites that you visit with this Firefox tweak.
1. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
2. Find the entry that says Network.http.sendRefererHeader and double-click on it.
3. Set the entry to one of the following:

• 0 – Disable referrer.
  
• 1 – Send the Referer header when clicking on a link, and set document.referrer for the following page.
• 2 – Send the Referer header when clicking on a link or loading an image.

How to Find and Check Number of Connections to a Server

Below is some of the example a typically use command syntax for ‘netstat’ to check and show the number of connections a server has. Users can also use ‘man netstat’ command to get detailed netstat help and manual where there are lots of configurable options and flags to get meaningful lists and results.
netstat -na
Display all active Internet connections to the servers and only established connections are included.
netstat -an | grep :80 | sort
Show only active Internet connections to the server at port 80 and sort the results. Useful in detecting single flood by allowing users to recognize many connections coming from one IP.
netstat -n -p|grep SYN_REC | wc -l
Let users know how many active SYNC_REC are occurring and happening on the server. The number should be pretty low, preferably less than 5. On DoS attack incident or mail bombed, the number can jump to twins. However, the value always depends on system, so a high value may be average in another server.
netstat -n -p | grep SYN_REC | sort -u
List out the all IP addresses involved instead of just count.
netstat -n -p | grep SYN_REC | awk '{print $5}' | awk -F: '{print $1}'
List all the unique IP addresses of the node that are sending SYN_REC connection status.
netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
Use netstat command to calculate and count the number of connections each IP address makes to the server.
netstat -anp |grep 'tcp\|udp' | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
List count of number of connections the IPs are connected to the server using TCP or UDP protocol.
netstat -ntu | grep ESTAB | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
Check on ESTABLISHED connections instead of all connections, and displays the connections count for each IP.
netstat -plan|grep :80|awk {'print $5'}|cut -d: -f 1|sort|uniq -c|sort -nk 1
Show and list IP address and its connection count that connect to port 80 on the server. Port 80 is used mainly by HTTP web page request.

How Rewrites = Traffic = Sales

The biggest reason why most of us rewrite articles is for syndication on the web to increase backlinks and thus traffic.

It's a fairly simple concept, however, sticking to the same methods and syndication platforms all the time is not the wisest move. You want to mix it up and employ multiple strategies with your syndicated content.

The problem is that all of this takes time and effort to put in to place and carry out. You need to find reliable white hat systems for automating these important but time consuming processes.

I was an avid member of PortalFeeder from their inception (which now dates years back). The membership provided many of the critical tools I used for my content syndication and traffic generation.
However, regrettably I left the membership a few months ago.

It was difficult to leave but the high price tag wasn't justified as I simply didn't use the PortalFeeder training and website generation software anymore. The only parts of PortalFeeder I still used consistently were the content syndication and traffic tools. They are extremely effective and the sole reason I stayed onboard.

However, I have some good news... just yesterday they opened a new service called Web2Mayhem which puts together all the valuable content syndication and traffic tools that kept me in PortalFeeder for so long plus they've added a bunch of extra stuff too. And because this isn't the full blown PortalFeeder membership it's price tag is way less.

If you are serious about using your content wisely in terms of backlink generation and ranking on Google with solid long term strategies you really should check out this system.

Web2Mayhem is very powerful and easy to use:

I don't promote other peoples products often and likely won't be emailing again until the new year when hopefully I'll have something to report to you about the new DupeFree Pro v2.0 :) ...
so, I'd just like to quickly wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! :)

Did you see Autopligg now has decaptcher and the crazy fun we had with the last tool launch?

Hope you had a fun summer and are getting prepared for christmas and the new year rush.
This is the perfect time to start preparing eveything now the quiet summer is over and winter is aproaching in most parts of the world.

Things will start picking up quickly now and you need to be prepared for christmas and the new year when everything just goes mental.
They say something like 80% of all online sales are done around christmas so you need to make sure you get your piece of the pie.

To help you with your link campaigns we have been working hard.

The pixies over in switzerland did a complete overhaul of Autopligg to make it even faster and to work as well as the day we launched.

Autopligg was said to be the best tool for link building but because of the way we were all spanking pligg sites the effectives went down a little.

There were still so many sites that hadn't been touched because they had captures which were way too hard to bypass.

We have added an api for decaptcher and its back to being a bad ass tool as reported by all users with the new version.

If you haven't got it already you can pick up a copy here and if you have please nip in the tool support forums to get your free updated copy.

If you are still using the script version just let us know in the support forum and we will of course upgrade you for free to the newer desktop version.

Autopligg is perfect for getting your sites ranked in google and i am sure you have seen by now that practically all the white hats and many media agency's use it to promote their client sites.

If you are unsure about Autopligg just go round independent forums and blogs to read almost 100% positive reviews.

Do someone say review?

That's a bit of a sore point at the moment for me.

We have come to realize we maybe launched SEOLINKPRO a little too early.
Some would say 6 months too early but we needed to just get it out there because if you are not careful you stay in development for years and keep adding bits.

When autopligg went out it had one simple job which was to hit pligg sites.

SEOLINKPRO was a bit different because its built to hit anywhere and everywhere to gain the maximum number of links.

Problem was we spent so long trying to get it to do everything we sort of ran out of time adding lots of link sources and thought the ones we added would be fine because they were working well for us.

The annoying thing was that software developers and anyone experienced were telling us how great it was because they saw what we had done.
The real bit i think i messed up on is the target market was newbs upto experieneced level and also just people that wanted links but we didn't realize they wouldn't understand the modular framework.

SEOLINKPRO is built as a framework to make it easy for us to add new link sources into it.
We don't expect to be launching another tool and we will keep adding more features to the framework because a lot of time and code went into getting it right.

What we are trying to avoid is the thing where the big marketers send you the latest and greatest software every week.
You know the ones for $169 or $199 and then next week they are telling you that their new tool is the future and beats them all if you just pay them again.

We launched to a blaze of bad publicity and whining everywhere because of a few ,,, um dozen bugs in the software but we needed to get it out there and used so we could continue.

Some people supported us and they are being rewarded by getting all the link sources first and a few other software bits that will never be available to the market so they are all going to be very happy.

That was where we were a few months ago so now i will tell you where we are right now.

We fixed the bugs in the system and stabilized the software.
We made it faster and easier to use.
We now do what we promised it will do in the first place.

But here is the kicker.
We added some link sources that are getting peoples sites indexed in a matter of hours.
Someone even reported less than 20 minutes and we got some of our sites indexed in just under an hour.

One of the plug ins is so good it could have been released as a standalone tool and sold for $289 but we don't do that anymore because we just added it to the SEOLINKPRO framework for free like we do with the rest of the plug ins.

Autopligg was and is still awesome for Google but SEOLINKPRO is the bitch for Yahoo, bing and even Ask.
I always had problems with ranking in ask, even to the point just as my sites were coming up for expiry or renewal they would start getting indexed and ranked.
Thankfully we are now getting sites into ask within 2 to 3 days which gives a nice little source of highly converting traffic because of the newb surfers that use it.

SEOLINKPRO is a long term project of ours and will hopefully be the best and only software you will ever need for promoting your sites.
Will this happen overnight? NO!
But if you just put your faith in us like you did with autopligg it will go from being a pretty decent link building tool to the only link building tool you need.

If you haven't got the latest and stable version of SEOLINKPRO, you can order it here and if you need to update from one of the older versions you can find more details in the tool support forums.
