But wait! Here’s what makes this more exciting, if you blog about this contest, you will get 4 more webcams! This is perfect for my new internet cafe!

Our country’s premiere e-commerce site Auction.ph mailed me a love letter inviting us to join their love matching event with the chance for us to win e-money this valentine season.

Uhm.. Kindly vote for me! ^_^

I love txting and taking pictures using my cellular phone. More than that, I love pimping it. Making it look, feel, and sound the way I like it to be. All of that won’t be possible if not for the website sources which freely share their pimping goodness! What I have here are the stuff you’ll gonna be needing and the links where you can find them.

The stuff you need to personalize your mobile phone:

Wallpapers - these are still images
Screensavers - these are animated images
mp3 - to personalize your ringtone or message tone and for some their alarm clock tones.
Themes - a package of pictures and backgrounds having a common subject.
Games and Applications - these to extend the function of your phone.

The sites wherein you can get all of the the stuff above for free.

Mobile9.com - Has lots of multimedia goodies like mp3 ringtones, themes, animated themes, and games from a wide range of supported devices.

Zedge.net - Huge collection of mp3 ringtones, wallpapers, themes, and a number of specially crafted tools to further customized your mobile phone.

Lasyk.net - If you are a Sony Ericsson fan like me, then this should be the site for you. It has all the fun stuff for every SE phone model known to man. They also have a list of useful tools for synchronization and advance customization for your phone.

Yuwie.com is a social networking website, just like MySpace where you sign up for an account and then have the ability to create a profile with whatever information you want to put in. Yuwie has many of the same features as MySpace like blogging, the ability to upload pictures and create albums for them, messaging, clubs (or groups on MySpace) friends lists and much more! About the only thing Yuwie doesn’t have is the ability to upload video’s or a music library. Keep in mind that Yuwie started the end of June this year (2007) and they have a LOT of room for growth! Yuwie is considered to be in “beta” stage right now, which means they are constantly working on updating the small things of the site.

I just launched my new Friendster resource site last February 14 or better known as the “hearts day”. It is a resource site for Free Friendster layouts, surveys, codes, and other Friendster freebie stuff you can find on the web today. I plan to make it as a honeypot for Friendster resources, making it an all-in-one pit stop for all of the Friendster users who loves to customize their profiles.

Check it out at this url Friendz.Mooo.com

I have this strong urge that I should right about this site and tell the world how great it is.

Enter eSpew - Electronic Spew, alludes to the electronic means of representing a huge spectrum of music inside of what is known as an mp3 file.

What makes this search engine special? It is a directly linked search engine with 11,325,938 mp3s on their cache of links they crawl day and night. Not only that, the service is fast and totally clean. No pop-ups, ads, spywares and other nuisance stuff we often encounter on the web from websites of this kind.

I was even amazed when I found a rare mp3 which I thought no where to be found anymore. Check it out for yourself and tell me what you think.

As always, I strongly discourage piracy. If you like the mp3s you find using this service, buy a copy of it the next time you visit your nearest record bar. Thank you!

I got this email from my aunt with a picture of a woman saying

Gusto mo bang manalo ng bagong laptop?

Aba siyempre!

This guide is almost similar to my previous article about using your camera for this function. However, the beauty of this guide is that we are going to use one of Windows Powertools called Timershot. It is a free lightweight program that works perfectly right for this guide.

Things to remember

Software required: Windows Timershot
System requirements: Windows XP on a basic desktop PC
Installation difficulty: Easy
Optional requirements: Apache server software and a broadband connection

Let’s now get started:

1. Run your Timershot exe to install
2. Open Timershot.exe
3. Look for active device (This is your usb camera)

4. Expand your settings

5. Adjust some Timershot settings

- Take pictures every – I suggest you set this to 3-5 seconds.
- Resize the picture – Set this to Large (1024 by 768) to have a clearer picture.
- Save In – Browse to your folder of choice. You can save this in your Apache’s folder, if you want to view your pictures on the internet. You need to have an “always online computer” to make this work.
- Check save a new copy of this file every time a picture is taken. This is to have a copy of each picture taken with the exact time and date displayed when you browse your pictures online.
- Click Apply Settings

6. Click Close Window to send the window to your taskbar.

That’s all you’re going to need to turn your ordinary pc camera into a surveillance camera. This is ideal for monitoring a home office or a small shop.
