Just a few days ago I released a small Android app Called BMI&amp;BMR Calculator. I know, this may seem old. There are a lot of BMI Calculators out there.

I really appreciate the editor from <a href="http://download.famouswhy.com/" target="_blank">FamousWhy</a> for there support in my development and for reviewing my application.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wanted to have your analytics account at the push of a button? No more logging in, no more opening the browser&#8230;just as a simple widget on your desktop.

It is easy to use, has a nice interface, is small and can run on all operating systems (Windows, Linux and Mac) because it uses Adobe AIR. All you need is an Analytics account, Adobe AIR and this free app.</p>

Also, they seem to be working on more apps that will make your life as a website administrator a easier.<br />
<!--adsense#ad1--><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Everything You Need to Create Beautiful<br />
</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Professional Quality eBooks at the Touch of a Button </strong></span></h1>
<p>If you are looking for a way to ethically make money on the<br />
internet, then the creation of information products is by far<br />
the easiest and most rewarding way!</p>
<p>An $8Billion Market, the opportunity of the millennium is &#8211; eBooks!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-274" title="ewriterpro-3d-medium" src="http://sf-zone.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ewriterpro-3d-medium.jpg" alt="ewriterpro-3d-medium" width="320" height="422" /></p>
<p>There are very many ways you can make money on the internet but when you boil it down, there are a few basic methods that really do work. This strategy can get you rolling very quickly &#8211; by Selling Digital Products.</p>
<p>All you need to do is 3 Simple things &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1. Create a Paypal account.<br />
2. Setup Hosting<br />
3. Get Something DIGITAL to Sell!</strong></p>
<p>Now that doesn&#8217;t sound hard does it? And it&#8217;s not!</p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong><br />
is easy and also &#8211; free. Just visit the website and sign-up &#8211; easy. Heck, you probably already have a PayPal account!</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong><br />
is not too difficult. You just need somewhere online to host (store) files for you so people can download them automatically after they purchase &#8230; or &#8230; you can simply email them the eBooks after they pay &#8211; easy!</p>
<p>OK now for &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Step 3 &#8211; you need something DIGITAL to sell. Why digital? Because you can sell it over and over again for 100% profit.</strong></p>
<h1><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">How to Create Your Digital Product</span></strong></h1>
<p>All you need is something DIGITAL that you have the rights to sell &#8211; and you are on your way to becoming a software mogul. Just like Bill Gates eh?</p>
<p>If you can type &#8230; then you can create eBooks &#8211; quickly and easily with our new professional ebook creator<br />
eWriterPro! Making money has never really been easier with this method &#8211; it&#8217;s just three easy steps &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1. Type your Text &#8230; 2. Click the PDF Icon &#8230; 3. Click the Save Button! </strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-275" title="screenshot" src="http://sf-zone.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/screenshot.jpg" alt="screenshot" width="400" height="289" /></p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>How to Sell Your eBook</strong></span></h1>
<p>There are many places you can sell your eBook online including, of course, eBay!</p>
<p>Once you have an eBay ad that works well, you can list it time after time and literally create your own money-tree. People will buy your product and download your files on completion of their purchase &#8211; all automatically &#8211; and you get paid straight into your Paypal account &#8211; lovely!</p>
<p>Once you have a hosting account setup you can literally sell from anywhere you can advertise online simply using Paypal &#8211; it&#8217;s easy!</p>
<h1><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">What About eBook Covers?</span></strong></h1>
<p>There&#8217;s no question about it &#8211; you will need a good cover. There are free and paid alternatives on the web and I&#8217;ll show you where to get the best of both! I know where to get the best because selling eBooks is exactly what I do &#8211; and I&#8217;ll show you how I do it so successfully.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll show you the method that works and I&#8217;ll also give you the tools &#8211; including an array of free quality eBooks you can sell immediately for 100% profit!!!</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Even More Good News!</strong></span></h1>
<p>Oh &#8230; I nearly forgot!</p>
<p>You also get Master Resale Rights to this software, a copy of this Sales Page and a copy of the Manual telling you how to do it all &#8211; so, if you don&#8217;t fancy writing (and even if you do) you can resell this complete package for 100 profit too!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Now &#8211; what are you waiting for &#8230;<a href="http://www.payloadz.com/go/sip?id=643317" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83" title="buy-now" src="http://sf-zone.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/buy-now.jpg" alt="buy-now" width="200" height="70" /></a><span style="color: #ff0000;">for just 5$</span></h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was just a matter of time for this to happen. An importand day to all Firefox users wordlwide: The browser war is showing some results. After years of domination from IE, Firefox is taking the lead.<span id="more-247"></span></p>
<p><!--adsense#ad2-->Until now, only Europe uses Firefox more than IE. Here are some statistics: <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp" target="_blank">Browser Stats</a></p>
<p>But I really think that it won&#8217;t take long until Firefox will be the most commonly used browser in the US also. Also, just out of curiosity, I went to see what my users are using. I was surprised when I saw that most of my users (50% ) use Firefox also. Considering that most of the users are from the US, I really think this is a good sign.<br />

I have been really busy latetly. Had a lot to learn for school (and this is not over yet&#8230;the hard part is just beginning) and I also started to work on two new projects. One of them is a game that I hope will be finished in a few weeks.</p>
<p><span id="more-234"></span></p>
<p>Anyway. I want to talk about something else in this article. My &quot;Joomla template creator&quot; article had received a lot of attention in the past month. And if you are a web designer, the tool that I am going to write about is perfect for you. Not only it makes templates for Joomla, but also for WordPress, Drupal and even XHTML websites. No special design sckills needed. I have tested this software and it simply amazing. You can generate professional templates for WordPress and Joomla with just a few mouse clicks. After that you can play with the design to make it more appealing.  Unlike the last software I have written about on this topic, this one has NO strings attached. You just download it, install it and run it. It even has &quot;Design Suggestions&quot; that generates an almost unique design. If you like it, you can then make small changes to it and export it for what-ever platform you want. The templates are widget ready, compatible with the latest versions of WordPress and Joomla.  It can create templates with one, two or three columns in just a few seconds. A professional template can be finished in just a few minutes. But here is the best part. The templates can e then sold or distributed with no restrictions. And considering that the Home version of the software is under 50$, I really think this is the best investment you can make.  For more information don&#8217;t hesitate to visit <a href="http://artisteer.com">#1 Automated Web Design Software for Blogs, CMS and Portals. Generate  templates for WordPress, Joomla and Drupal.</a><img width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=XOpwjdDlVeo&amp;bids=173675.10000006&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know about the iPhone. It is (probably) the most famous phone on the market right now. Not necessarily the best phone, but that is another story. Anyway, one of the things that made the iPhone the phone it is today is the possibility to buy games/apps for it. I am not talking about simple java games. I am talking about real 3D games with a lot of features. Until not to long ago&#8230;making a game for the iPhone wasn&#8217;t something  anyone can do. If you want to make your iPhone games, than read on.<span id="more-204"></span><br />
<!--adsense#ad2-->While searching for something else I stumbled upon a game engine that sais it has everything you need to make cool 3D games. 3D game engines are not new. I played with a few, from Dark Basic and 3D Game Studio to some simple ones like The Game Creator. None gave me the flexibility I need. So I ended up creating casual Flash games. The thing that caught my attention to this game engine is the fact that it had one thing highlighted in the description: Publish games for <strong>Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, PDA, Smartphone and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">iPhone</span></strong>. Yes, you read it correct. This game engine can export your games for iPhone and all you have to do is publish it on the appStore. Like I said, this caught my attention and decided to read more about the engine.</p>
<p><!--adsense#ad2-->The more I read about it, the more amazed I was. It had everything a game engine needs: particle system, build-in terrain editor,  reflection, refraction, physics engine, collision detection, bone system and the list can go on and on. It looked so perfect that I decided to download the PLE version just to give it a test drive.</p>
<p>The PLE version comes with a few example that demonstrated the power of the game engine. And it did a really good job proving this is the best commercial game engine on the market. It went over my expectations. I can&#8217;t really describe how it is except perfect. Perfect for any freelancer or small organization that wants to make small 3D game for almost any platform imaginable.</p>
<p>Now you must be thinking: &#8220;It is that good so it must cost a lot.&#8221; You are wrong. It only costs 169 euro and right now they are having an offer and it is only 85euro.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago a friend of mine got a new PC. As any person with a new PC that has 4GB of ram and a dual code CPU he installed Vista. One feature that vista has and XP hasn&#8217;t is Voice Control. So he was telling me what this feature can actually do. This was when I remembered that XP can do the same thing.<span id="more-193"></span></p>
<p><!--adsense#ad2-->So I went to google and searched for a voice control software. I knew about one, but I decided to search for more. So, after 15 minutes of searching I had two posible candidates. KM Remote and SayNow. I installed them both and started talking all by myself int he room. Here is how they worked.</p>
<p><strong>KM Remote</strong>: A really nice software. You can configure it to start applications and simulate key press. When you first configure a new command you have to say 4 times in the mic the command so that the software will recognise your voice. For example, I made a command that lunches Winamp and made it recognise when I say &#8220;Start Winamp&#8221;. At first I was very pleased with it. It did what I told it to do about 50% of the times (the other 50% it did not do anything). The problem is that it did not know how to maximeze/minimize a window or other stuff like that. But still I thought it was cool since I did not want to control every aspect with my voice&#8230;just to lunch fast different applications. The problems started when I moved my laptop somewhere else. I wen to by girlfriend&#8217;s home and I took my laptop with me. I wanted to show her the new software, but&#8230;it did not work. It did not recognized my voice. The problem was that the software analyses my voice with the recodings I did when I configured the commands. I made this in my room. When moving to the other room (a bigger one with a litle eco) the patterns did not match anymore.</p>
<p><!--adsense#ad2--><strong>SayNow</strong>: This has a few nice features. You can have an avatar that can talk with you (different voices can be selected) and it also has commands like: Maximizewindow, MinimizeWindow,  Cancel,  OK,  Save As,  Open File,  etc.  Some commands don&#8217;t work all the time&#8230;but in most applications they do. You can also configure new commands (like launch an application or visit a website).  It is a need peace of software. But, this to has limitation. Even after I did the Voice Recognition Training it still did not respond to all my commands and the software has bugs: sometimes it kept doing commands without me saying anything and the only solution was to manually close the program. Also, in most of the cases, it was faster to just hit the OK or Cancel button than to say &#8220;Computer&#8221; (to get the software attention to know I am going to say a command) &#8220;Cancel&#8221;. One thing it did very wellwas &#8220;Close Application&#8221; or &#8220;Close window&#8221;. This software also has dication, but I found it very bad and in very few cases it actually wrote what I was telling him (remind me of  <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1123221217782777472 " target="_blank">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1123221217782777472 </a>).</p>
<p>So, as a conclusion, voice recognition software still have a long way to go until they can actually do what we can with a few simple and fast mouse clicks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know about phpBB, SMF, myBB, the most famous forum scripts that are available for free on the internet, but very few actually know about any lite-wait script. The script I am talking about is used an a few popular website (I found it on MochiAds Community forum) but the script itself isn&#8217;t as famous as the other ones yet. But, that does not mean it isn&#8217;t any good.<span id="more-181"></span>Vanilla is very lite (the download package has only 386k) but it is very good and also customizable. On the script&#8217;s website you can find a lot of plugins for almost anything you need. Just like most other forum scripts out there, Vanilla is open-source.<br />
<!--adsense#ad2--><br />
As for the administration, Vanilla has a nice control panel from where you can customize almost every aspect of the forum, install add-ons, Manage categories and much, much more. br /What about the system requirements? Vanilla can run on PHP4.1 or grater and it need a MySQL database (3.23 or grater). How good does it run? Well, it is compatible with al major browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer) and as a personal experience, I had no problems on the Mochi forum.<br />
<!--adsense#ad1--><br />
As a conclusion, Vanilla is the perfect solution if you want a lite forum, without all those useless fancy stuff that other forum software have. So, what are you waiting for? <a href="http://getvanilla.com/">Get Vanilla &#8211; Free, Open-Source Forum Software</a></p>
