Multihosters, Real-Debrid, Fast-Debrid, and Rapidgen – What are they?

May 19th, 2012 No comments

These sites offer an all-in-one solution for file hosters. This is so you can get access to all file hosting sites with 1 account. If you’re in the file hosting game, this might be worth it for you.

The big players are Real-debrid, multihosters and a few others. As file hosting services go up and down like flies, these services have come into existence.

Right now, it’s best to only order smaller packs, you never know how long these services are going to remain active. It’s all a crap shoot. Sometimes file hosting sites have a lot of issues with speed, and services like these may have trouble keeping up with accounts and such to allow their users to download from all the various file hosts.

There is a simpler solution out there to file hosts however, and I’d advise anyone looking at getting files to take a close look at Usenet. I have a Usenet Tutorial up and running for those of you who are interested. Otherwise these types of services are currently the easiest to use in the file hosting space.

Knoll Life Chair Review

April 27th, 2010 No comments

I’ve only been sitting on this thing for 5 or 6 hours, but so far I notice it’s about 9000x more comfortable than my old chair. Comfort may not actually be the “right” word for the chair. It’s more like I can sit in it and not have my back screaming in agony. I work from home so I spend many many hours in my computer chair. For the first time in a long time, I’m not hunched over looking at my computer screen. I’m actually sitting upright. That’s what these ergonomic chairs are made for, to make you feel comfortable with good posture, and not hunch over everything and feel like crap.

I really have NO idea why I didn’t get an ergonomic chair earlier. I’ve been on the computer for extended periods of time since I was about 10 years old. Always using crappy wal-mart chairs, that were NOT designed for what I was doing. Even when I did have money, all of it went to processors, video cards, speakers, monitors, and nothing went to my chair. The chair remained a POS from wal-mart at all times.

Now that I’m 19, I’m starting to feel some back issues develop. Those 9 years on wal-mart chairs for countless hours are starting to take hold. However, I think with this chair those problems may go away completely. (Only very slight pain from leaning over all the time has developed)

Anyway, the best way to describe the feeling of sitting on the Knoll Life Chair is “good”. Mine has adjustable arms that go up and down and side to side, which I would recommend. I think these are “High Performance” arms. Adjusting the height of the arms along with forward/backward and side to side really comes in handy depending on how you’re sitting or want to sit in the chair.

The seat moves forward slightly depending on how you sit on it, and you can slide it forward or backward as much as needed. You can of course lean back in the chair as well, and adjust the tension.

Overall, I have to say I’m super happy with this chair, it’s the first time I’ve felt comfortable sitting at my desk in years (No joke.) Even though I did not pay retail for this chair and bought it at an eBay auction, I think it’s actually worth the retail price of $808.

I was actually very scared of ordering a chair online without trying it out in person, and the only reason I got the knoll life chair was because of the auction and I didn’t want to pay more than $400 for my chair. Unfortunately, there really aren’t any shops nearby that sell “performance” task chairs. I was going to get the steelcase leap, but so far I’m glad I didn’t. This chair seems perfect for me. I really like the breathable back, and steelcase doesn’t have that.

Conclusion

Finally, a chair I WANT to sit on.

Update

6/16/10 – After sitting on this chair for a few months, I can form a more full opinion. My opinion hasn’t really changed – it’s still the best chair I’ve ever sat in. :) My back has not hurt since getting this chair. It makes the couch seem uncomfortable due to less ergonomic support :) Has also shown no noticeable wear, usually by now a $100 chair would have plenty of wear.

Definitely worth every penny. You can buy it here: Knoll Life Chair in Black – Fully Adjustable

So I started E-Cigarettes again..

February 27th, 2010 No comments

Back when I got the DSE901 & Janty Dura-C I didn’t really see myself going back to cigarettes, however I ran out of liquid, my atmoizers died, batteries, etc and guess what? I ended up smoking again for another year almost. Now I’m back on ecigs, and so far so good. It’s been about 5 days, 1st day I had 2 cigarettes, 2nd 1 cigarette, 3rd half of a cigarette 4th none, 5th none. This time I went more “all in” because I bought 2 devices 5 back up atomizers and a lot of e-liquid from various places.

What 2 devices did I order? Well from the old days, I remember really liking the Janty Dura-C which recently I found out that’s a 510 atomizer. There’s a cheap version out there called the Joye 510 now, and it works just like the Dura-C I had way back when. However, that’s not what I bought.

I bought a Protigy V2 and a Janty eGo. I’m thinking about doing seperate reviews for both these models, really all I can say is I really enjoy the V2 with a 510 atomizer. It’s been what I mainly use, much stronger vapor and taste compared to the eGo (which is still a great device, compared to the old DSE901 pen style I first got.) Oh yea and I also decided to get a T-Tip from SuperT Manufacturing. I hated always taking off the tip to drip, since that’s all I do. This thing works great, and seems much better than the plastic crap. I actually ended up with juice in my mouth more often with the plastic stuff than this T-Tip, it’s awesome.

My overall goal with e-cigarettes is at the very least completely switch, and at the most stay on them for a few months and slowly down my nicotine intake, and the *final* goal would be to completely quit nicotine. That may or may not happen, because I’ve tried quitting before, and I can’t make it more than a day, I end up feeling like total crap. I guess if I were to not do ANYTHING for a couple months then it might be possible, but as it stands, I wouldn’t be able to be productive in my life for at least a few months, maybe more after quitting cold turkey.

As far as whether or not E-Cigarettes are safe, in my opinion putting a couple chemicals in my mouth and lungs is far safer than putting thousands. Also, as far as I know there’s very little cancer causing chemicals in e-cigarettes. The ones that are there are from the nicotine which was extracted from tobacco, but in VERY small amounts, about the same amount of cancer causing chemicals you’d find in nicotine gum or the patches. Tons less than real cigarette. So from that, I’m not too worried about it. In fact it seems blatantly obvious to me that they’re most likely much much healthier for you than cigarettes. Which is the point for me switching of course, I just figured I’d give an explanation for those who have been brainwashed by the FDA, pharma, and tobacco companies. They all of course have reasons for hating electronic cigarettes, but it all comes down to money.

Anyway, that’s my plan, and oh yea cost  is going to go up very slightly for me.. I used the roll your own tobacco and it was very cheap. However, I know that’s about to change since they’re going to raise taxes higher on everything soon, so cost is actually going to be much lower in a little bit.

Lesson here is never start smoking, it’s a real pain :)
