DigitalPoint loves to beg
Some call it the freebie land, some the newbies land and most call it DP. One thing is for sure, they adore begging for free stuff, and guess what, not in the Freebie category, in the Services one.

Coding, designing, seo-ing all in one pack - Scorpiono
You might know that I’m actively working on manele.me until the biggest project frenzyrss.com and I’m doing so to create a stable income so that the second websites comes to the market as it should.
That being said, manele.me will be a music search engine for the genre called “manele”.
My main man for the project, niflostancu, is off for vacation so I had to work on the project by myself. I’m a begginer in PHP/MySQL but I handle anything that comes I believe, and I’m also a fast learner.
2 days ago I started to learn this, now I’ve done:
º Finished the Photoshop design, this is where I’m really good at. (.psd format)
º Slice it.
º XHTML/CSS.
º Handle the .php files, and make a file tree to make sure I put things in the right place.
º search.php - searches files, include the search in the mysql (I still have to do the wildcard search).
º crawler - I’ve done it, RegEx rocks! 
This way I’ll spend 0 minutes on content, it will be automatically grabbed from file sharing websites.
º setup.php/install.php - handles most mysql issues.
º a bit of SEO semantic coding, still has to be rewritten.
º robots.txt disallow to make sure G won’t index my junks.
º mod_rewrite - The %{QUERY_STRING} was a pain the ass.
The final product is not uploaded, still you can check it’s layout at: www.manele.me
My first google knol unvails the Google AdSense Assasination Technique
I was talking about the “Google Adsense Assassination Technique” on the blog, but never presented it so it doesn’t get abused.
Still, it’s common sense so many are already doing this to get rid of competition, nothing fancy on this, therefor here goes.
Banned from Adsense : Google knol page about Adsense
Digg.com seems to hate knol from Google:
Is this because Google refused to take over Digg.com?
Windows Vista Activation Serial - Get it free
I was looking to activate my Vista - and I’m still on the black side of software yet, don’t flame me!
Easiest way to crack Vista Activation without a serial
WindowsSecrets(dot)com will do the trick!
I got infected, yes, me!
It’s not that I’m invulnerable or something, actually I had no antivirus program running at the moment, and all I wanted is download Chicken Invaders from PirateBay to play with my Girlfriend. You’d say, “clear target” - and yes you are right.
I have spent about 4 hours trying to fix this, going from forums.microsoft.com to fix Vista back - to downloading anti spyware programs (none were free!).
I did it my way, downloaded HiJackthis tool from Majorgeeks, removed the suspicious files and then removing it from the HDD as well.
Currently, I’m desinfected but I still have problems with Vista’s System Restore point keep saying that “Maximum number of secrets stored in..” and makes the restore point unavailable.
Got any tip?
I’m learning RegEx and it hurts..
Yes it does, and it hurts so bad. I mean (.*) is any character 0 or more times, but when will it stop? (.*?) is a lazy way of any character because I think it excludes spaces, or that’s what I remember.
I’m learning RegEx guys, and I’m doing so for the manele.me project, which will be a music search engine for a very popular and commented music genre in my country.
It’s good traffic and I’m preparing for #1 position - rawr!
A few regex references:

» niflostancu - He’ll kick me in the nuts for trying this, but he’s the main coder of most of my projects, and now if he sees I’m even trying to learn this stuff, he’ll laugh and make me suffer, but he’s a good helper, he might give me a good tip when google is bored

New category: Big Fish
This is the category for our weekly Big Fish - someone with experience in a domain such as PHP, Domain names marketplace, Website broker, Big website owner - actually everything you’d call a Mogul online.
I’m creating this because I find it very inspiring for myself and others to find about other’s successes and skills, hope you embrase the same feelings, I’ll put quite alot of passion in writing this kind of posts.

.me hype - GoDaddy sucks big time!
GoDaddy sucks big time - the new .me hype they created proves it!
I’ve lost web-design.me and jewelry.me because of the slow processing which makes me a bit furious about it!
I have registered several domains, from my $200 budget for the .me hype and well, I’m quite happy with them.
manele.me (registered for development)
tvshow.me (sell)
hints.me (premium sell)
web-master.me (premium sell)
tvshow.me (sell)
hints.me (premium sell)
web-master.me (premium sell)
Hopefully, I’ll get the results in max 3 months, registration is for 2yrs at least and costs 39$
.me hype advice: Search availability from Dynadot or domain.me - this way you can avoid the GoDaddy lag
