Motorcycle Riders Unite!

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Do you own a motorcycle? If you do, there is an online site made especially for you.

Becoming a member of this site is free, and you won’t regret it. You can post photos, videos, interact socially with like-minded individuals, perhaps even get free parts for your bike. This is a site for humans to share stories with each other, teach younger riders the rules of the road, and maybe learn a few new things yourself; after all, this is an international site. You can see how riders in various countries do things differently–or the same–as you do them. Join right now!!! Go to motorcycle community and post your information.

Mom just read me a story about a beginner who opted not to buy a windshield for his bike. After a couple of hours riding directly into the full force of the wind (it gets breezy when you’re going 70 miles per hour), he decided to buy one. Did I mention that you can buy parts and accessories on this site as well?

Oh yeah, mom helped me write this.

Do You Know What DOT COM (.com) Means?

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

I know a lot of people get confused when others start talking in extensions pertaining to files, websites, etc. “Come on, let’s use the dot-com extension,” says the first one.

“No, let’s use the dot-exe one,” says the second one.

Humans who are not used to tech-talk can really be confused, especially when they don’t know the difference between the dot-com used in programming and the dot-com used in websites. The former refers to a “command” line which is a character string that tells a program to perform a specific action, and the latter refers to “commercial” and tells the user that it is a website which is for general use. And, it can get more complicated when referring to file extensions.

Have you ever had a file on your computer with the extension of dot-jpg? If you have no idea what this might mean, you need to go to the File Extension Library; it has over a 1,000 listings. This site explains that a file extension is the portion of a file name located at the end of a file after the dot. Not only does it explain things in a layman language, it gives suggestions on how to find and open a particular file with a particular extension. You probably do not need to go there immediately, but keep in mind where to go for help with your unknown file extensions. And the place to remember is file extension jad.

I know, if you are like me, you need all the help you can get. By the way, my mom helped me with this.
