It is a simple question really, do you have any bad computer Habits?

Do you always accidentally hit a wrong button on your keyboard that turns your computer to standby?

Do you lose patience with your computer, and simply pull that power cord to turn it off?

Whatever your bad computer habit is, leave your comment below, let’s hear it!

I have been using Firefox, for the longest time now, that I cannot even remember when I first started using it. Firefox standalone is powerful, but when you start exploring with the add-ons and extensions, Firefox just becomes quite simply the best browser out there.
Here are some of the extensions, in no particular order that I find useful, keep in mind there a ton more useful Firefox extensions out there.

I’ve outlined the extensions, that I am using, now its your turn! I want some feedback, to create an even better list, that future readers of this post will find useful to them. So my question, what are some of your favorite Firefox extensions, and why?

Hosting fees can rack up pretty easily, especially if you own several domains. I myself own several domain names (at least 100 by now), more than most would probably own. There are some domain hosts, that offer individual hosting. Meaning you pay x amount for 1 domain to be hosted. If that were the case for me, my hosting fees, would be outrageous. That may be the case for some people.

As of right now, I have over 80 domains up and running under one hosting account, guess how much I pay?

I pay only $13.49 per month for the hosting. The same price, for a good meal at a restaurant these days. If I had less domain names, I could pay around $5.94 per month, about the same price as a meal from Burger King. So we are not talking about back breaking prices here.

You may be surprised to know, that I am using Godaddy as my host. The current plan that I am using is the Premium Plan running a Linux based server, normal pricing for the premium plan, Linux based server is $14.99 per month, but since I have paid for 2 years in advance I paid at a rate of $13.49 per month. Even though I have paid in advanced, Godaddy is flexible enough, that If I wanted to cancel with godaddy, they would fully reimburse me of my money without any penalty fees for canceling. So It is a good idea to pay for advance, especially with the savings.

Still though, a lot of people, don’t know how to utilize the function of adding multiple domains to be hosted under the same account in Godaddy. How do I know that not a lot people don’t know how to do this? Well, I don’t remember what I called in for, but about a year ago, when I called godaddy technical support, the tech support rep was surprised at my knowledge, and acknowledged to me that he does not get a chance to speak to people who know what they are doing, and told me that not many people know they can add more than 1 domains under hosting on the same account for godaddy.

How to add another domain in Godaddy under one hosting account

First of all, there are a few ways to achieve this, but you need to have a Linux based server. Anyways, on to the instructions.

1. After you have signed in to godaddy, hover your mouse over, Hosting & Servers, select “My Hosting Account”.

2. At this point, you will see one or more of the hosting accounts that you have purchased from godaddy. Pick the one you want to work with, and click to open it.

3. Hover your mouse over settings, and select domain management. This will be the panel where you add all your domains, so pay close attention, so you don’t make any mistakes.

4. We are now in the domain management section, Under the “Assign Domain to Hosting Site”, select your domain, once you have selected your domain, you will need to choose your “Domain Hosting Path”, you will want to select “enter directory path”.

5. In the domain hosting path area, you will want to type a name, that is familiar to the domain name, so perhaps if your domain name is mydomainname.com then it would be a good idea to type in ‘/mydomainname’. After you have typed your desired folder path, you will then click add, and wait a few seconds for it to finish adding it.

6. When you login in your ftp server, you will now see a folder called ‘mydomainname’, anything uploaded to that folder is your mydomainname.com website.
If you have any questions on this process, you are always welcome to leave a comment in this post, and I will be glad to reply. Or alternatively, you can always call up godaddy support, they are open 24/7, and usually are very helpful.

One way to remember a list of things is to use a mnemonic (memory) device. There are several ways to do this.

1) Make an acronym.

If you have a list of things to remember, use their first letters to make a word–or a pseudo-word.

For example, FACE gives you the names of the notes between the lines on a musical staff.

Some medical care providers use CAGE for alcohol-use screening:
1. Have you ever felt it necessary to CUT DOWN on your drinking?
2. Has anyone ever told you they were ANNOYED by your drinking?
3. Have you ever felt GUILTY about your drinking?
4. Have you ever felt the need to have a drink in the morning for an EYE OPENER?

An Economics example is TANSTAAFL: There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.

2) Create a sentence from the first letters of the things in your list.

For example, to remember the (formerly) nine planets in order from the sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto): My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles. Or: My very excellent memory just served up nine planets.

Another that is widely used is “Every Good Boy Deserves Favor” for the musical notes that go on the lines in the music staff.

Tips on mnemonics:

The goal is to make it memorable. How to do this?

1. Make it rhyme.
2. Make it musical. You learned the alphabet by learning that little song that you still do when you’re reciting the alphabet.
3. Make it funny/surprising. (In the “planets” sentence, what would be better than pickles?)
4. Use a pun.
5. Create a vivid, graphic and/or improbable image that jolts the mind. (The Pope riding a jet ski?)
6. Perhaps use something shocking! Some of the best-known mnemonics in medicine are quite bawdy or refer to bodily functions/excretions.
7. Keep it simple/short. It shouldn’t be more complicated to remember than the list itself!

By the way, Mnemosyne was the Greek goddess of memory, Her namesake, mnemonics (pronounced ni-MON-iks), simply means “memory aid”.
