Recently I am noticing on different public places, news papers and posters that some people are arranging workshops to teach people how to earn money online. The other day, I was browsing some CDs and suddenly a package caught my eyes. It was a package of CDs in which, as the vendor claims, is the tutorial video of setting up weblogs and optimizing them to earn money. People who know that I am quite a regular internet user have started asking me for tips on earning money online. They get surprised that I don’t know the exact procedures of “earning 16-18 USD per hour”. Really, I don’t know. My site has never been popular. I earn 2-3 USD MAXIMUM if I am quite lucky that day. I wonder what is in these tutorial videos which train people to earn that much money in one hour. Let alone earning 16 USD per hour, I would be more than glad to earn 16 USD per day. I know that is not impossible when you are popular enough, but wait a minute, is it easy to become popular?

Many of the people in Bangladesh are new to the internet and a class of ill motivated people or better said, businessmen are taking the chance. They are misguiding the newbie. They are assuring that if the blogger puts right contents on their site, hits will come. They also provide some “hard-for-beginners” tutorial to guide them. Beginners, who don’t even know how the Internet works, how are they supposed to understand how SEO works? People who can’t write a single grammatically correct sentence, how are they supposed to be blogging on targeted topics? This is rubbish. It’s time the blogger community raised their voice on this issue. Earning money is never easy. You need to ensure quality first. You need to satisfy the readers. And to tell them the truth, we have to admit how hard that can be.

And the main reason behind starting a blog should never be money. If you wanna earn money online, go to some freelancing sites. That’s what I have been suggesting people for a while 😛

This trick allows a limited user to crack into an admin account. This works for most cases. Here’s a step by step tutorial:

• Run Command Prompt (Go to Run > Type “cmd.exe” > Hit enter).
• On the prompt, type: AT (time) /interactive “cmd.exe” [Instead of (time), type a time in 24 hour format. Eg. 17:00 for 5pm].
• A new command prompt will pop up with the specified time.
• On this new prompt, type: net [space] user.
• This command will retrieve the accounts on the network.
• Notice the name of an admin account.
• Now, type: “net user [admin_account] *” (Don’t forget the: “*” at the end of the command)
• You will now be asked for a new password for that account.
• Type a password and you are done J

NOTE: This will not work in Vista.

The Google App Engine service currently supports Python as its only runtime language. In its official Google groups, people have been asking what?s going to be the next runtime. A question for curious minds, a point for the Google lovers to ponder. I have been using the App Engine (http://masnun.appspot.com) lately and found the service really cool. They make us all feel like being Google engineers by letting us build web apps on the same infrastructure they themselves use. That means your web app will use the same legendary (!?!) Bigtable and GFS that is used by google. But at the moment you have to build the app in Python. I have been interested in Python for a long time but never had the time to check it out. Now with App Engine, I am learning python at last. But I would prefer Java to Python. I am a BBA student and I cannot dedicate much time to programming. I want to emphasize on a single language for all my needs:
# building web sites
# building desktop app (cross platform)
# building command line apps
# building mobile phone softwares and games
I admit that Python could be used for all these needs. But Java feels cooler to me. Especially the Swing bit of thing. The desktop apps built in Java are easily portable and looks great on all OS. Java definitely has great portable libraries more in number than Python. The only thing I would miss in Java is the scripting ability. But for that I would always have Python and PHP at my disposal. But I am really looking forward to learning how to build web sites in Java. It?s really a pain to find a reliable free Java host. So I would very much want Java to become the next runtime environment for GAE so that I can try it free. I have enjoyed building sites with GAE using python. I do believe that the Java experience would be cool too.
Like many people out there, I have been wondering what languages will come to GAE. Here?s my bet:
1. Java
2. C++
3. Ruby
4. PHP (If it really comes).
Note that Java, C++ and Python are the three official languages at Google. Now that they have already introduced Python, they will roll out the other languages in the project too. In that case, Java should get higher priority because Java is more popular and common than C++. Its OO nature is probably more matured than CPP. But I won?t mind if they introduce C++ first.
It would be of course nice if they introduce PHP too, but the controversy about PHP?s scalability and coding style can be a point to consider.
