Investing in Domain Nmes

I have to admit I own 100 plus domain names. I try to weed them out every once in a while. I use them such as this one to get business. This one doesn't generate me any money but I enjoy yapping and since I can't talk to you I'll type what I want you to know.

I owned some domains and let them expire to later see them for sale on auctions for ten of thousands of dollars. Somewhat depressing but so it goes.

A great article is here. Link

I buy and domain and then build a free blog on Google. Tough to learn new tricks thus can't figure out word press. I read occasionally how easy they say it is but I can't even get it to launch.

Easy they say I ask. Is your mother or father ok at the web? then ask them to download it and build a one or two page blog or word press aka website and DO NOT HELP THEM AT ALL. They will have problems and I doubt succeed.

Google Blogger is a snap. Easy easy.

Yahoo stated easy to build. I had a stick figure floating around the page for a year and finally deleted it.

Have fun be safe.
Thank you

Microsoft Windows 7

Everyone has preferences for everything they do. Drink Coke or Pepsi. Different banks and different airlines. Different vacations and destinations.

Anyway I always open Windows by using the Windows Explorer folder options. I create a desktop icon for Windows Explorer and look at the C drive and easily move files and or create new directories and so on. I guess they're are a number of people that use the computer icon and go in that way. I just tried it and actually the same results but I do it the way I like it.

Microsoft has a offered to allow us to vote on what we want to see in the new Windows version. Kinda neat from a business that seemingly doesn't care what we think. Microsoft engineers come up with what they think we'll like and it is what it is.

105 pages with 20 different idea people have suggested that you can vote on.

Like to vote or suggest a new feature? Here are a few.

Add Persian calendar to Windows 35,897 votes

Add tabs to Windows Explorer/File Explorer (I like this one) 13,171 (9:12 AM 10-21-14)

Free 

Make Windows Update the one stop for all drivers. (got my vote)

Voting is going on and I think you get 15 votes. You can use up to three votes on one subject if you want to use them or scatter them around. Link below.

Tax The Rich

Money 

Some people have some money and some people have no 
money and some people have way too much money.    
                                                            


The following six short movies on YouTube will take you about 15 fifteen minutes to watch them all. The series
begins with a male stepping into a Rolls-Royce Wraith and driving this Awesome vehicle eventually into a large field sliding sideways at I'd guess 70 MPH. Click on Link and enjoy then next fifteen minutes.  Click Here and away you'll go.

Registration Form Costs

The last four or five years I would pay a web hosting company to let me create a registration form to get customers.

I am not technical well I am but not really.

I understand some and can figure out some but over all I just don't get it.

At 61 years old I am tired of trying and failing at HTML or website design.

I don't want to learn how to do this and it is easier just to pay $50.00 to $75.00 for a form that I only have to change a few headers.

Google docs has changed all that. Microsoft is set up so that you must know what you are doing and Google has it so that you don't. Microsoft outlook is a pain and so is all their programs. It can be easier but for some reason they expect you to understand and people like me don't and do not want to spend the time figuring it out.

I searched Google docs then I searched registration form Google docs and there it is.

I will include a form I built in fifteen minutes. the data once submitted goes to my Google gmail account automatically.

Give it a whirl and save your money.

Thank you

FBI has locked my Browser Update

Huge virus scam out there. Just went to a website and it happened to me. The website suggests you buy a money card and enter the card number and pay them some amount of money.

FIRST THING NOT TO PANIC. Do not turn off the device. the desktop the laptop whatever.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

Okay now. First I closed all the search engine pages I had open. The one with the FBI you are looking at bad stuff stayed open. I wasn't able to close the browser. dang nabbit.
Move your mouse pointer to the bottom of the page. The lower bar.
Left Click on bar once.
Right click and click task manager.
In applications you will see whats running. 
I am showing now blogger and nothing else.
You will see what website or something odd that is got you by the bad people.

Right click on the name once then click end task.

Poof it be gone.

Update: So I noticed recently this. Check to the do not load spot then click the close program and then I use the enter key and the mouse and click it takes me maybe four times and the FBI window locked closes and you do not l,oose your other windows that are opened.

This works on the FBI locked website as well as We have detected a virus call the BAD GUYS at 1-800- your going to pay..

Success saved you $75.00 and time from going to the local computer store  

Thank you


Spybot 2014 New Version

Spybot 2014 New Version much improved over last years. 2013 was a bad year for them.

Works like a champ!
_________________

Spybot has been an awesome virus checker for years. I am sure they are proud of their new release but it is not what it used to be.

Difficult to to the simple tasks.

I think they should have just left it alone and charged $1.00 a download and install.

250 Million downloads at a dollar each would have taken care of their financial worries for a long time.

I had used Spybot for years and now I don't. I have deleted the program.

Microsoft Essentials does the job for free.

Thank you

Media Player is out of date

The best way to download a virus is when you see the drop down message on your device that informs you that your media player needs to be updated to view something.

The red colored page makes you think it is Adobe BUT it is not.

It is a virus. You think you need to do this but after a closer inspection you will not see a name or the name Adobe.

Like time release pills this will install and in a week take over your device.3

Thank you


Two step Passcode Apple

Apple is now offering a two step verification to access their products.

Get this done then one day you will not be using or logged in then you will receive a text message from Apple  and you will then know that you were about to be hacked.

Google has had this and so has Yahoo along with Facebook.

It only takes once for someone to get into your account because you didn't log in.

Caused me huge problems but now the 2 step process is guarding me.

Read below for an additional post about this subject.   Link

Thank you

Google Two Step Log In

Today at 9:23 AM EST I wasn't near my computer. I was talking to a customer when I got a text message with my numerical code to sign into Google!

What happened?

Someone used my correct user name and passcode. The second step you do not see till it is too late for the invader.

The second page pops up and it reads please put in the numerical code.

Seconds later a numerical code is sent to me via a text message or automated phone call from Google.

I got it and that is how I knew someone tried to access my account.

I have this on Yahoo, Google and Facebook.

If you do this do not ever have the system save the device or the location. If you do it will not require the second step.
Facebook two step security.
yahoo two step security sign in.
Search Google two step log in.

Set your search engine or browser to log out every day or 24 hours. The bad people will tap refresh to read your emails and be required to sign in. The two step sign in if now done will pop up once they type in your correct user name and passcode and surprise you will get a text message.

Right away you'll feel safe go wash your hands to get their crud and nasty ways off your hands.

The first time you get a text message with the code you will be so happy that you set up the two step log in and the 24 hour reload or automatic search engine exit put in pass code this you will think "oh no" but then you will laugh. Especially if you are not near your internet access device.

May 20, 2018: On my way home from my office and I get a message from Yahoo. Are you trying to log into your Yahoo email account? YES or No? I pull over and the message is gone. Funny! Someone had my user name and probably password but once they entered my user name and clicked the page to enter the password Yahoo sends a text. You then click either Yes or No. The intruder or POS doesn't know this is going to happen. Once the user name is entered then the second you click the "next" button to enter the password the text is instantly sent. The intruder or POS freeks and deletes the page. Game over. Stopped dead in their tracks. Awesome.

Thank you.


FaceBook someone wants to be my friend

A few days ago I get a note from within FaceBook that someone wants to be my friend. I now click on their name and see who they know and how do I know them. Well this person is new on FB and I have no idea idea who she is. I do not accept her friendship and I click the button that I do not know her outside of FB.

So here is the picture of the lady that is new on FaceBook and I have never ever seen her before. She also has no friends and for whatever reason wants to be mine. Seems so odd. Anyway here she is.


I don't have that many friends. Who are they?

I found one name of a person that manages the deli department in a grocery store in an area of the city where I have never been. Seems odd that this person was even in my friends catagory. Unfriended. Hell I don't know them so what the hell do I care. I now mark those that indeed are not my real friends but friends of friends and so on as acquaintances and they do not and can not post anything anywhere on my FB page.

A friend you can ask to get your mail while out of town and please put it daily on the coffee table inside your home. Can you do this with someone you don't know? Damn odds are you'll come home to an empty house and the mail will still be in the mail box. So why in world would you share information with people that you do not know and trust??????

I also have the two step sign in process. Log in using the correct sign in name and password and a text is automatically sent to my cell phone. The text includes a six digit number. I then type that code into the FB page and I'm in. FB allows you to save locations. I used here, there and elsewhere BUT now I do not identify or save any location. Why should I. If they guess the secret name of my location or which computer I'm using then they are in. So, as home or office will not work much less home computer or office laptop.


My FaceBook Page was hacked

My FaceBook Page was hacked. I have another blog and here is the link to a bad story of someone having access to one of my email accounts. I would like to tell you who it was but I think it would be best if FB, Yahoo takes the actions that I believe they will. If they do not then I will have those that know do what needs to be done.

XP Antivirus Yes a scam

I typically create a post about a scam and put it in my scam section but this one is different. How many of us have clicked on a link and suddenly a colorful page opens. The page shows what we are suppose to think   is checking our system for problems?

I know I have seen this page many times. Just before I panic and do something I look at the drives and I don't see what I know I have installed.

This is a scam to make you think your computer is infected and you need to click on the stop and save me button. I have seen XP Antivirus and it is pretty convincing that your computer is indeed infected. Clicking the link to install and you are now screwed. You sadly pay the fee then install a vicious virus.

Bad things happen to bad people I always like to think. Sometimes it takes a long time and sometimes fairly quick. I also believe in speeding the process if I can because not only do bad things happen to bad people but bad things should happen to bad people.

Enough of that crap.


Fake Antivirus Ringleader Must Pay $163 Million.
The normal everything is closed down and bank accounts and everything will be seized and so on. I think the Feds should take the money and find out who of us paid it in and give the money back to us.

Hide your IP address 2015

I just wrote a post about using Google and the cloak and dagger eye spy hiding your data from Google. Google is smart and for whatever reason I think this just keeps your searches from the history in your account if you have a Google account.

How to check where you are? Bring up your favorite search engine and type or copy the following my ip address and search on that.

The first one that comes up in the results is www.whatismyip.com/


Click on that website and click what is my IP address. Your public IP address is Will pop up and a series of numbers separated with periods. Write that long number down. That is much like your social security number, drivers license number or worse the actual location of the computer that you are using. 

Search the following: search anonymously. Try anonymouse.org/anonwww.html   Then copy this into that search area. https://www.google.com/

The report quickly comes back and it shows that my IP address is  

IP Information: 193.200.150.137


Shows that I am in California which I am not.  So either way. I think I like this method rather than the next post. Just when your finished playing your devious games of registering on your competition websites or whatever you are afraid of then do not log into your email or search engine. I just don't trust them. I suggest closing the search engine then open it again and log in.

UPDATE: I recently read and article online about how hackers slip around on the internet without their IP truly showing up. Here is how they do it. This time it shows I'm in France.

Google Tracks you. Easy fix

So months ago Google announced they were going to track and save your search data. Why would they do this well it is too generate more revenue form your searching. Someone searches tours in Houston and once the system realizes you are looking for data they will populate your page with ads for this.

How to keep it private and have your searches not fall into you search history?

Click the Google search button.
The page loads then in the upper right corner you will see a wrench.
Click the wrench.
Down three lines is the new incognito window.  Then click the Google search button as normal and you are safe from the history keeping. 

Click that and nothing you search will show up in your history.

Here is what you will see.
You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close allopen incognito windows. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however. 

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
  • Websites that collect or share information about you
  • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
  • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
  • Surveillance by secret agents
  • People standing behind you
As long as the eye spy, cloak and dagger symbol is in the upper left corner you are free of the record keeping. 

Thank you

Changing Passwords

Now  that my Facebook page has been taken over for a few minutes I am now a firm believer in changing passwords. What a pain it is BUT far better than what happened to me.

I changed Google, Yahoo, websites......... I changed every password I had everywhere. Everywhere

I now use a two step password on Google and Yahoo. What a pain but I now feel safe from the bad guys and girls that for what ever reason what to hurt people. Two step I say yes. I sign in and use the correct user name and password then click log in and a text comes to my cell phone with a secret one time numeric six digit code that is good for fifteen minutes. Everytime I log in this goes on. Crap where is my phone.

Yes some do it for fun because they can and some do it for revenge.

Who knows and who cares life is short so to save yourself from any problems change your passwords.

How about 1970Dodge then 1970dodge then 1970dodgE and so on. hell I never even owned a Dodge. Long ago I used one1 for January then if my cell phone alarm told me to reset my passwords I would change it to June6 or not enough digits I used June6th, June6th!. Once they realize they can't get in then they will not have any idea. So it doesn't matter. What you do not want them to do is ever ever get in just once.

Changed my bank account. New checks ordered. Put a watch on my credit cards.

When you read this post listen to me. Change all your passwords in the next 24 hours. Promise me that you will do it!!!!!! Do it and prevent any problems from any knowledge that you have stashed or hidden in your email account. Bank accounts, credit card emails, customer name and emails, personal information, your children's emails or whatever.

Thank you and Be Safe

AVG 2012

AVG is a great virus protection offering to the public. I have used it for years. The free edition is great but now it seems to me that they are trying to be like Norton and screwed up.

I am sticking with Microsoft Essentials.

I wish Microsoft would step up their free program to include all the program protections that are needed by public. Keep it light and not an over bearing hog like the new 2012 AVG.

Thank you

Buying URL and build a Blog

I am only okay at the blogs. I accept that. I agree it is okay you see mine that are not that neat. Can't figure them out so I don't bother.

So I work as an outside sales person for a small component level board repair company. I try my best to guide my regular website to capture the people that are looking for this type of service. Allen Bradley repairs are the holy grail. I use my little blogs to get some of that business.

There isn't a Google search bar here so reduce this page then open another Google search page then reduce it so in a minute you can copy the words in bold and see what I have been doing here and there over the years.
So one area is industrial repair so the repair technician taught me. So I buy the search terms. I bought industrial repair Atlanta. Cost me $8.00 a year on Go-Daddy and the blogs are free on Google. SO businesses search on industrial repair then see 88 million matches. The first few pages of matches are from businesses all over the nation. I figure if they are in or around Atlanta they will will change the search to 
industrial repair Atlanta. Well then another one of my silly blogs pop up.

I really bought the search term.! Copy it and plop it into the search spot on Google and search it. Then try point  of sale repair. The .com wasn't available but the .net was. Copy this into Google search bar
point of sale repair first page out of 24 million.

If you have a small business I suggest doing what I have done. People use the internet to search anything and everything. If you have website then buy a search term and build a Google blog and the business will find you again. Florist Atlanta or deep dish pizza your city. So buy deep dish pizza Atlanta.
A redirect is searching on a subject and finding a website you want to go to. You then click on the name and off you go to something different. If you land on a Go-Daddy page that means the person didn't pay for the name and it will soon go away,

Once I build it and load a few pictures then fix the keywords I rarely go back. Here look at this one.
computer parts warehouse or  hp laser parts to name two. Search who stands for what alright one more for you to see Defective Smart Phone Buyer. You will see the name john their mine. One more for you. I know it seems a little crazy but I promise what I do is working very well for me and all those people that partner up with me. I work on the idea and then buy the terms and build a silly little blog. last one I will tell you for now. used smartphone buyer

$8.00 for one year and if it doesn't get you business then delete it. Just do not set up Go-Daddy to auto renew. 

Thank you and I hope this helps you.

Cell Phone Email Spam

I have a Yahoo and Gmail as well as an two exchange accounts. I have found that if I press the inbound button then slide the screen down the last email email. Down to the oldest one on my cell phone.  I wait until I see the emails begin to roll in. At the bottom you find the spam. Once I see them I press down on them and then tap the "more" button and mark them as spam. I do this once a day.

The spammers mark them oddly enough using the year 1969.

Thank you and I hope this helps people.

Microsoft Worldwide Partner Program

Alright so you know a few people that use Microsoft products and you are their friend.
The business where you work at is using Microsoft products and they are debating to
upgrade to use the new Office 2010. Here you can offer them a trial version and they
end up liking it and buy it. You can make money at this and increase sales or just
get them a deal on software. Further push Microsoft products all over the world.

You know as well as I do that the best of anything costs money except of course
love. Love is free somewhat and that topic is on yet another blog I have out there
and I will not give you the link to that one.

To any respect here is the link to sign up to become a Microsoft Business Partner.
You can be a business of one or part of a business of five thousand to fifty thousand.
It doesn't matter. I am giving you this link and it is a generic link that if you knew you
would be able to go to. I do not make any money and that is fine with me.

You will by the end of next year on your anniversary date have many legitimate
serial numbers to all the Microsoft products they sell at this time with updates.
At some point you will receive the latest and greatest server software and maybe
ten Windows 7 license codes.

Maybe since I saved you four or five hundred or even a thousand dollars you will
click on my PayPay link and give me $50.00. Now that would rock if you did.

Thank you and enjoy Microsoft Products and spread the word.

Google Blogger Offer

I have been building blogs such as this one for a few years. I am probably only
okay with the end result. As I go here and there meeting people about how to
get new business and the internet I offer to build one as good as I can for free.

In most cases the people I am around have no idea that this technology is
available and or how to go about building one.

The mail courier as an example was telling me in short one minute conversations
about some type of energy payment plan. The lady that cleans our neighbors
house is trying to get additional business and she was guided to me. I want to
buy broken smart phones so I have another blog offering money for cell phones
that are sitting in a drawer at most everyone's house if they mail it to me.

Thinking about this I am offering to build a blog as best as I can for $50.00.
Currently since I can't get to another state or across town at your convenience
I ask that you change your password on Google to abc123 or something real easy
for a two day period. The person emails me their Google user name and
pass code. I go in and build it in a couple of hours and leave. I do not go to the
emails I don't care too and I am not interested in that in the slightest.
I go in and build a blog on Google and then submit it to Google when I am done.
I load pictures the person want into the blog and I copy their writings. I do
everything I do on any of mine and then I leave.

I go at this as fast as I can and it takes me about a hour or a little longer. I ask that
people go ahead and begin to gather pictures and email them to me. I also ask that
people write on their own what they want on their blog at first. I need additional
titles for the additional pages.

On most of my blogs I do not show the date, time or author. I want to build it
and I do not want  to go back. I do from time to time but the dates do not show.

Yes it is still a blog but I think ridding the site of the .blogger is a good thing.
I give the search optimization code to you and where to put it. It is free but it
took me forever to figure out the real one and where to put it. I give it to you
but I insert it on the one I am building. You can use it on other blogs. I explain
the rules of keywords and descriptions.

Page Views I add if you want it.
Followers page an so on.
Add the PayPal button and title it.
Add links to your regular website or to another website.
Polls are added if you want them.

I do this from my desktop PC at my house and it takes a few days for your or the
persons system to realize that I have done this to update itself and suddenly
everything I have done from here is there. I have done this for friends in Texas and
California so I know it works fine.

I do not go back because there is no need. I email the person the code and how to
change and what not to do. I send them instructions on how to do what they need
to do to add more writings and to add pages. I send them the code and explain
where it is and how to alter it. I explain in the email to save save save and what to
be REAL careful of on the code.

If you mess it up I will go back into your account and fix it for free. I will do
whatever you want me to do at no charge on the one you paid me to build.

I am available to do this on your PC for $50.00.

I am backed up with orders and have fifteen to build at this time. These are
in Georgia to California to New York.

Record hobbies, real estate, pet sitters, cleaning services anything and
everything except porn.

I build one every few days or so.

Buying a domain name on Go-Daddy then I build it. Once I am done I
explain how to change it from www.whatever.blogspot.com to
www.whatever.com. It is easy for me and is somewhat easy for you.

The person also gives me their Go-Daddy user name and pass code and
I can go in their account and do this in about one minute. They then go
back into Go-Daddy and change their pass code back to whatever it
was. Once I change something in Go-Daddy I then have to go back
into the Google account and change something as well. I have this in an
email but can do it myself. The "change" takes an hour or so. Go-Daddy
alerts you that it takes up to 24 hours but I find that in the mornings it is
almost instant. You have to do one before the other otherwise you get the
Go-Daddy page that asks you if you own this domain or do you want to buy
it.

Google loves data so the hosting is free by Google. The total yearly cost is for
only the domain ownership which is a yearly payment to Go-Daddy for $8.00.

To any respect if anyone out there wants me to do this I can be contacted at  johnsouthernrefurb.com@gmail.com Payment accepted by using PalPal
or a credit card.

Thank you
John Reddien
