I would say it is not. Why? Well, because they send you a broken unsubscribe links.
Of course i did that long time ago in the account options (currently cancelled) but it kept sending me various emails.
Most of them if not all, do not contain an unsubscribe link. And now they finally added the link at the footer but it does not work.
If you click it does nothing as it starts with “file:///C%7C/Users/Stephen/Desktop/Projects” etc.
This is the whole link:

watch movie on your PSP
I bought it several months ago. Mainly for my kids to play the games on it. But, last night they ask me if they can watch a cartoon on it. I googled and found a tons of tutorials about how to convert movie to psp format which is MP4. So far so good. I converted the Rio DvdRip to MP4. I connected the PSP with my laptop hoping that i will just copy the converted cartoon to the stick and it will work. But i was wrong. I put it to the root of the memory stick but it didn’t work at all. The PSP was not able to find the movie. Then i googled again and found a lots of tutorials about how to put movie on your PSP. They all suggested the same which is creating a two folders MP_ROOT and 100MNV01 inside it. Some of them even suggested that i name the files M4V10001.MP4, M4V10001.MP4 etc. respectively. None of these worked for me. Rather i tested something pretty silly as it seemed from beginning. Meaning, i created a brand new folder named VIDEO in the root of the memory stick and i put the converted file as is Rio 2011.mp4. Final result X:\VIDEO\Rio 2011.mp4 !!! Voila!
It worked like a charm. My kids were very happy because of that. Hopefully someone else will find this useful too.

If you often revise your decision to go for .NET. then let me tell you a few things about ASP.NET.
By the way, if I have to be an ASP developer starting now I would rather work as a cleaner in a public WC indeed.

Happy New Year 2011
may the New Year begin on a prosperous note! To all ASP.NET developers and their families! Cheers!!!
Having a permanent job is priceless these days (you know, recession and stuff). But, it’s sort of limitation for your creativity. Working for you is much better. You often work on projects of your choice, set your own hours, and enjoy the flexibility to take a break whenever you want.
However to afford that, you must be very good if not the best at what are you doing. e.g. .NET programming, Website Design etc. I had luck with all of the above so now i am doing pretty good having a standard income on monthly basis plus I work on other projects as a freelancer.

Rip Off
Recently i had very bad experience begging a bloody company for my own money.
Finally i want to tell you to stay away from this company and their site www.getafreelancer.com.
You should always deal with people whose addresses are real, customer service real and you can get a live person on the phone.
Yeah, that’s true that GAF has not phone number to be called. It sucks, isn’t it?
They have a LIVE SUPPORT button on their site but all it does is take you to their email form so their support is not live particularly when they take days on end to answer, if they bother to answer at all.
In addition, www.getafreelancer.com is in the habit of suspending members when their accounts have money in them. This has recently happened to me and I am aware of others that have gone through the same problem. In addition to this they will ask for ID of proof of Country. When you provide them with the pertinent information where they can see the ID. clearly but not to the point where it can be duplicated they want more. This doesn’t make any sense if its just for proof of country.
This is obviously something that this Company has been getting away with for some time. They are holding money not only in peoples personal accounts of money they have earned, but also in escrow.
Its time people took legal action. You can start by laying a complaint with the internet crime complaint center. There are also other legal sites listed on the internet as well that you can lodge a complaint with.
Strongly recommended!

Msn Generous Offer
I just ran my MSN Live Messenger and i was offered to download a free themes for its 10th Birthday.
Ok althrough i never believed in a free stuff this time i said what a hell.
As soon as i clicked the Download button i was offered to download Internet Explorer 8 and immediately after that i received another dialog which was suggesting me to use Bing as my default browser and to make MSN my homepage.
I mean it’s a pretty bad trade. I get only few themes that most probably i will never use and in return they want me to to use IE8 (instead firefox), Bing (instead google) and to make MSN my homepage (instead google as well).
Well thanks for the generous offer but, i really don’t need your FREE things.
This is where i am drinking my first cup of morning coffee. It is a coffee bar located near me. Just 100 m from my apartment.
Btw, i do not smoke. 
It is the guy behind me!

Bernard Madoff
I refuse to believe that Madoff is the one and only who is responsible for the new world economic crisis.
Of course he has to fully take responsibility for what he has done but, sentencing only one man to 150 years is NOT a guarantee that it will not happen again?
Rather, we should find out, who endorsed Madoff … ?
I am aware that American justice works in strange ways but, this is too much already.
I am quite sure there must be some people that knew all the time about the Madoff’s tricks and that he was braking the law but none wanted to tell anything because they were probably all involved in.
Otherwise i have no explanation for it !!!

Moving Forward
While the rest of the world is enjoying the era of Nanotechnology, Macedonia (Republic of) is living far behind the expansion of modern science and technology.
So, we cannot move forward because:
1. Our students are still studying Pascal and Java although the IT market demands technologies like ASP.NET, PHP, T-SQL, VB.NET, C# and such. As Macedonian University Professors do not want to upgrade their knowledge our students will stay “not competitive“, “not goal oriented,” and “not future-directed“. Period.
2. Macedonian companies are used to old fashion marketing using medias like Newspapers, Radio and TV. They do not pay attention to the internet marketing which is totally wrong. We need campaigns to constrain these companies to use the potential of the internet. This will cause more people to learn internet marketing, graphic design, program languages and technologies that would affect the unemployment additionally.
3. People in Macedonia use internet only for fun. Mainly they are focused on social networks like facebook and myspace, and also on several domestic portals. They are not aware that the internet is serious business tool/medium that deserves consideration in many, if not all, fields of commerce and it can offer remarkable advantages and opportunities to all of us. Someone needs to motivate and teach them to earn money on the internet.

Wordpress Plugins
You must be wondering why i am writing about WordPress and what it has to do with ASP.NET.
Ok i must say that i really love this platform and it is probably the only and the best open-source thing i have ever used in my life. Beside MySQL of course!
As my blog is built on WordPress platform it is understandable that i am concerned if it works efficiently. right?
Well then let me tell you something about that.
I have been very frustrated when i noticed that my blog is suffering from the so called slow motion. My blog readers was complaining that the blog is getting too slow and that connect time is high. Actually there was a one or two second delay when the page is loading (after it connects and before any graphic comes up).

Make Your Blog Readable and Understandable
But before that i would like briefly discuss the blogging generally.
Actually, when i launched this blog a few days ago, i have been thinking about how my blog posts will look like.
Many authors tend to write articles which are too complex and too diverse, so the readers cannot easily follow and understand them from the beginning to the end.
