WHY WASTE MONEY AND TIME ?How to Earn Extra Income for Housewives

Four Parts:Exploring Your Skills and AbilitiesChoosing a Means to Make Extra MoneyConsidering Alternative Income OptionsManaging Your Time

Being a housewife does not mean being condemned to earning little or no money, and many housewives are earning significant income by offering a whole variety of products and services both online and offline. With the advent of the internet, more and more women are able to publicize their offerings and monetize their skills and abilities through blogs and social networking sites.

Part1

WHY WASTEMONEY AND TIME ?Exploring Your Skills and Abilities

1. 
   1WHY WAST  MONEY AND TIME ?
   Explore your interests. Your journey to earn extra income begins by taking a look at what you enjoy doing, are interested in, or are passionate about. Often, interests can be translated into income, especially if they are backed-up by skills or experience.
   

   • Write down a list of all the things that interest you, or that could potentially interest you. Seeing these written down in front of you is an excellent way to envision potential income opportunities, and ideally, income opportunities that are aligned with your interests.
   • For example, you may enjoy cooking, sports, writing, mathematics, automobile repair, or gardening. These can all be translated into income opportunities.
   • Also be very aware of what you absolutely dislike doing. While sometimes it may be necessary to do activities you don't like (especially if there is available income doing it), it is possible to leave these activities as a last resort. You may, for example, dislike writing immensely.
2. 
   2WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?
   Evaluate your previous experience. Looking at your prior experience can be a great way to uncover income opportunities. Experience can include employment, but also education, leisure activities, or anything else you have done.
   

   • For example, if you are a teacher (or have experience teaching something), you can perhaps monetize this. This can be true for almost any previous experience including experience doing arts and crafts, office administration work, writing, taking care of animals, or even babysitting.
3. 
   3WHY WAST  MONEY AND TIME ?
   Examine your skills. Finally, examining what you are good at can be a useful way to uncover opportunities to make money. Being skilled at something or being able to do something others can't do as well can mean others may be willing to pay you to do it.
   

   • If you are a naturally talented baker for example, or have a gift for speaking one or more languages very well, you can look to monetize that.
   • Look at your interests, skills, and experience combined to gain helpful ideas.
4. 
   4WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?
   Plan to balance work with household responsibilities. Being a housewife or stay-at-home-mom requires a lot of work, and many consider it their full-time job. Making time to earn extra income will mean taking time away from household responsibilities. Take a look at how you're spending your days now, and decide what you can give up in order to make room for outside work.
   

   • For example, maybe you spend several hours cleaning every day. Figure out what chores can be done less often, or assign them to someone else in your house.
   • Childcare is in itself quite time consuming. Depending on what type of work you decide to do, you may want to consider joining a childcare coop or asking a relative to watch your children for a certain amount of time so you can devote that time to working.

Part2

WHY WAST E MONEY AND TIME ?Choosing a Means to Make Extra Money

1. 
   1WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?
   Babysit other children. If you are currently a mom, you already have a valuable skill-set and resources that can be incredibly useful to other parents. Many parents are looking for babysitting or daycare services, and with daycare often being expensive, you can likely find many parents who are willing to pay a slightly lower rate for personalized care.^[1]
   

   • You can advertise on websites like Kijiji or Craigslist, or make posters for sign-posts. You can also use your Facebook or other social media to advertise.
2. 
   2WHY WAST E MONEY AND TIME ?
   Tutor either online, or at your residence. If you have any specialized knowledge that you can share, you can run a home-based or online tutoring business for a fee. This is especially useful if you know an academic discipline very well, but can also be incredibly useful if you know a second language.^[2]
   

   • To advertise home tutoring, you can use a website like Kijiji or Craigslist, advertise through your children's or other local schools, or network with local parents.
   • For an online business, websites like Tutor.com can be helpful. Teaching is done entirely online, and you are paid an hourly rate. The catch is you must have a college degree to teach certain disciplines, and you also must be available to tutor at least five hours per week.^[3]
   • If you know another language, Italki.com can allow you to teach another language online and get paid hourly to do so. ^[4]
3. 
   3WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?
   Sell products you created. If you can create something valuable, you can likely sell it. The ideas in this regard are endless, and can include things like baked goods, photos, arts & crafts, dresses, and nearly everything else. If you have something you can create, the main challenge is knowing how to market and sell it.^[5]
   

   • Using your online social networks can be a great way to advertise if you are just starting out. In addition, making a Facebook page for your business, which features photos of your product can be an excellent way to share what you do with your immediate friends, and hopefully generate referrals from them.
   • Certain products also have corresponding websites on which to sell them. For example, if you do photography, websites like Shutterstock and Istock can allow you to sell images. Etsy is also a useful website for selling artwork. Sell knitting patterns on Raverly. Of course, websites like Kijiji and Craigslist can also be useful for connecting with local buyers.
   • You can also make your own website or E-store if you are ambitious, and use online advertising (like Google Adsense) to generate traffic.
   • Etsy.com is another venue you can use to sell homemade products. See How to Sell Crafts on Etsy for more information.
4. 
   4
   Freelance write or blog. If you are a skilled writer, and if you are knowledgeable and/or have unique experiences or perspectives to share on a topic, it is possible to make money online through freelance writing or blogging.^[6][7]
   

   • Creating a blog is fairly straightforward. You can use a website like Blogger to create a free blog, or you can use a site like Wordpress.org for a small fee of about $4 per month. It is important to know that making money on a blog can be a difficult prospect, as the amount of money you make is dependent on the size of your reader base.
   • Freelance writing and/or editing is also a viable option. There are many websites that offer freelance writing jobs fairly quickly, like Elance, or Textbroker. These websites are suitable for those just starting out, since the pay rates are typically not exceptional. Other ways to find freelance writing work are to search freelance writing job boards, use websites like Freelancewriting.com, or even pitch article ideas to publications.

Part3

WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?Considering Alternative Income Options

1. 
   1
   Consider couponing. Sometimes, increasing your income does not need to come from earning more, but can also come from spending less. "Couponing," or the strategic use of many coupons and promotional offers, can achieve this outcome through locating and collecting coupons that can then be put towards reducing the cost of everyday items.^[8]
   

   • Where do you locate coupons? There are a multitude of sources. The standard location is in the Sunday paper, but printable coupons are also available online from websites like Coupon.com, or manufacturer websites for the particular item for which you are shopping.
   • Your mobile phone can also be an excellent resource for locating coupons and matching them to sales at stores in your region. One mobile app that is particularly popular is Favado, which enables you to both locate sales in your region and print out coupons corresponding to those sales.
   • If you are interested in pursuing couponing further, popular blogs like The Krazy Coupon Lady can offer a host of resources to get you started.^[9]
2. 
   2
   WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?-Monetize your online activity. There are websites online that will pay you to do activities like searching, watching videos, completing surveys, shopping online, or playing games. Currently, some popular resources for accomplishing this are Swagbucks, and Ebates.
   

   • Swagbucks allows you to earn Swagbucks currency for doing online activities through their website, which are then redeemable for cash or gift cards. As one example of how it works, you may choose to shop for products via the Swagbucks store (through which you can purchase products from thousands of major stores). For every dollar you spend, you would receive one Swagbuck, which is equivalent to receiving 1% cashback.
   • Ebates.com offers a similar benefit, whereby you can earn cash back for purchases you would have normally made regardless. It is less diverse than Swagbucks (since Swagbucks allows you to make money via many online activities other than shopping), but can offer excellent deals. ^[10]
   • Note that that are many sites like these two. An online search will reveal many potential options to use.
   • Be wary of buying things you don't need to gain benefits on these sites. Carefully consider any purchase first to decide if you really need it, then determine its lowest cost.
3. 
   3WHY WASTE MONEY AND TIME ?
   Review products online. There are countless websites online that will either pay you directly, or offer you discounts on products for writing reviews. Reviews can be written for everything from websites to bathroom products. A Google search of "make money online reviewing products" or something similar can yield countless resources.
   

   • Usertesting.com is one popular website which pays via Paypal for reviewing websites and apps online. While there are limitations to how much you can earn, it can be a useful way to make a few extra dollars.^[11]
   • Snagshout.com is another popular website that allows you to receive large discounts on products you purchase on Amazon in exchange for writing a review of the product after you receive it. This can be a useful way to reduce your overall expenses, and thereby increase your available income.^[12]

Part4

Managing Your Time

1. 
   1WHY WAST E MONEY AND TIME ?
   Create a schedule. Once you choose an additional means to make money, you will likely have a deficit of time compared to before. If you have children or other responsibilities, this means that time management is critical. Creating a schedule and budgeting your time is the most important step in time management.
   

   • You will need to create a block of time each day to allocate towards whatever money making opportunity you choose to pursue. To do this, write down your current daily routine for each day of the week (or as close to it as you can accurately represent), with the associated times for each activity. Try to find an empty time — or at least a less busy time — during which you can work on your new job.
2. 
   2WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?
   Eliminate unnecessary activities. If you find yourself short on time, eliminating unnecessary activities can be helpful. What is an unnecessary activity? Any activity that can be easily removed from your schedule with little impact. Most people, whether they know it or not, spend ample time each day doing unnecessary activities.
   

   • Observe yourself for a day. You may realize you spend an hour on Facebook everyday for example, or two hours watching TV. While eliminating these activities completely is probably unwise (downtime and social time are important), you can perhaps cut both of these activities in half.
   • The newly freed-up time can be allocated to more productive activities.
3. 
   3
   WHY WASTE  MONEY AND TIME ?Create goals. Creating a list of daily, weekly, or monthly goals can be an excellent way to stay on track and manage your time. Simply create a list of the main things you choose to accomplish each day. For example, if you are babysitting, you may make your daily goal to advertise your business in some way.^[14]

   • This can be done at any time that is appropriate for you. If you are using daily goals, setting aside ten minutes at night to plan the next day can be a useful strategy.
   • Keep your list of goals somewhere that is clearly visible. It will keep you focused on the tasks you need to be doing and away from the tasks you don't need to do.

Nikon 70-300mm VR vs 55-300mm VR

By hytekblue March 27, 2014 dslr, photography79 Comments

Tweet

So I thought I would take a moment to compare and contrast these two long telephoto lenses from Nikon. They both have a very similar range of focal length. They are also both very sharp lenses. That might be where the similarities end though.

The 55-300 VR is a DX lens and as such is much smaller and lighter which can certainly be a plus if you are carrying it around all day. The DX lens is also as such cheaper both in build quality and cost. I believe its currently running around 400 US dollars new. The main drawback I see with this lens is that Autofocus is insanely slow. I do not feel like I am exaggerating either. The manual focus ring on this lens is in the front of the lens which means it’s location moves as you zoom. If you are going to try and take pictures of anything that moves a lot you might as well give it up. If on the other hand you want a cheap lens that will give you a narrow depth of field at 300mm and aren’t concerned with the autofocus speed then this is your lens.

Now on to the 70-300 VR which is an FX lens and will work on full frame and crop sensor DSLR’s. This is a much bigger and more well built lens than the 55-300 and as such costs a little more. I believe the 70-300 VR is currently running 589 US dollars. The main advantage this lens has is near instantaneous autofocus. I have been simply amazed at how quick and accurate this lens focuses. Manual focus is also far superior on this lens also. This lens is hefty but not too bad to carry around all day. When it comes to bokeh I like this lens much better than the DX lens. I recently took it out for the day and threw a 35mm f1.8 prime in my pocket and to be honest I did not feel I needed anything else.Re: Nikkor 55-300 mm vs nikkor Nikkor 70-300 mm

I don't know if I am totally right in this context, but since 55-300mm is DX lens and 70-300mm is FX lens, I'd get better / actual focal length on shorter zoom length with 55-300mm, while 70-300 mm will act as 105-450mm on my DX body. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You are wrong. 55-300mm will act as 55-300mm and 70-300mm will act as 70-300mm. The only difference between DX and FX lens, is that DX-lens will not lighten the whole FX sensor. But as long you are using a DX-camera, you will not see any difference.

Actually, I am pretty sure you are right. The 70-300 will give you an effective field of view similar to 105-450.

I used to own the 55-300 and didn't like it at all. I found the AF to be too slow for my needs (motorsport and airshows) and the images were a bit soft, although that could well have been user error. A friend of mine has the 70-300 and it does produce some very nice images throughout most of the zoom range but it does get a little bit soft towards the long end.

I guess you really need to try and understand exactly what images you want from the lens. Will you be bothered by the gap in focal range or will you mostly be using the long end?

The70-300 will effectively  act as a 105 - 450. But you will loose 1/3 of the FOV. Check  the Nikon website  and review the        specs for the lens  on a DX body.

I have the 55-300.  I use it for wildlife shots.  So focusing speed is not as much  an issue for me. I have gotten  some good shots with the lens. The only time I had trouble with my D7000 / 55-300 set up was when we were in Grand Tetons National Park. There was some elk in the bushes at a distance and the camera had trouble focusing on the animal.

Self Hosted WordPress #DAMARU

Self Hosted WordPress

By ABHISHEK GHOSH DECEMBER 2, 2012 8:32 AM Updated on August 22, 2014  Self Hosted WordPress is itself a scary phrase to a non-tech person and add Cloud Server on it. Here is a Very Easy Guide to under Self Hosted WordPress. This article is dedicated to a 67 years aged young doctor, who quite nicely has handled Adobe Dreamweaver for his quite old two websites but now is struggling with Self Hosted WordPress on a (which I typically say) C grade server. I am quite aware, he is not the first person, there are thousands (or millions) who has the exact problem of understanding the basic architecture of a Self Hosted WordPress on server plus I will explain why you must upgrade your self hosted WordPress to cost effective A grade Cloud server.

Self Hosted WordPress on Cloud Server for YOU,YOU YES #DAMARU

You must understand 

that, a server we use is nothing but just a special kind of computer you are using. The basic difference is it is designed in a way so that it can run for 365 days, has hardware based security and some extra things. Ultimately it is just a computer like you have on your lap or desk or palm. Unfortunately, most uses Microsoft Windows operating system, which is nothing but a crap, prone to virus operating system. For servers we usually use Free operating system of Linux category. Those who are using a Linux PC like running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or using a Mac are actually very closer to the setup of a server. We do not use our laptop or desktop as a server as it will die soon if we run it for 24 hours, a human will be needed to look after it etc. This is the basic reason why we usually rent a server space. For developmental purpose, you can actually install WordPress on your own computer :

• 
  

1. Installing WordPress Using XAMPP and
2. Using WAMP software

This method to test run Self Hosted WordPress on your computer is very very important to understand how the things works. This will save you from future huge cost for hiring developers (when practically there is no need), using the server’s bandwidth (plus burning Internet bandwidth) unnecessarily.
The thing that is definitely coming in your mind, “if my computer is just like a server then why a server is not like my computer”. Actually we can, we can use a server just like a remote desktop with mouse, keyboard etc. You can see this guide where we did for very advanced users.

Self Hosted WordPress on Cloud Server : Then Why I See That CPanel or Plesk Thing ?

As you have understood, basically a folder of a computer is exposed to the public, actually that is only accessible via browsers. We set up in a way, so that the domain name point towards that folder. Understand it : we as the owners (rather tenant as we rent a server) can access the whole computer ; i.e. the server as well as the publicly accessible folder where your beautiful WordPress is located.

cPanel like control panel is a web hosting panel, that is a software itself, that is installed on this computer. Basically this cPanel is highly profitable for both the web hosting providers and cPanel software developers (its a quite badly high priced software). This actually confuses the most (that is an indirect advantage gained by old generation web hosting companies – they keep the consumers in dark with this odd panel) as the ‘computer’ thing of server is not felt because of this cPanel. Additionally, cPanel itself is a software, which will run 24 hours – despite we you will not need it, it is a wastage of resources. It just gives a graphical user interface.

Self Hosted WordPress on Cloud Server : Make it Easy with a Cloud Server

Most Cloud Hosting bands like The Rackspace Cloud or HP actually charges in pay as you go model. They simply give a server. As that rented computer is geographically away from you (that is why it is a remote computer), we can not open it directly with a monitor, keyboard sitting beside it ! We use Internet to connect with it. As that connection has risks (hackers can intrude if we keep it unsecured) we use Secure Shell or SSH to connect with it with a black command line screen. Following this way, we have published guide how to install WordPress on a Server. In fact, your beloved cPanel is also installed in this way – check this guide. So, with a cloud server, you actually have various advantages – it is configurable by RAM as you need, you can test drive for few hours and just pay few cents, it is you who will decide whether cPanel will be installed or directly WordPress will be installed and more just for few dollars per month. On those shared cPanel server (those who charge $3 – $5 per month) actually runs over 700 customer account on one server on average – this is the revenue model. They are obviously prone to data loss, hacking and downtimes. And probably all of these $3 / month takes the money for a year before they are delivering the service. But, for Cloud Server, you are paying on the next month.

Self Hosted WordPress on Cloud Server : How WordPress Runs and How I can upload, download files, backup etc.

As we are putting (very raw word, but probably you will understand it easily) the files of WordPress on a publicly accessible folder – we call it a ‘web software’. WordPress actually stores the data not on that folder. On that folder the basic files, configuration files, your uploaded images etc. are kept. The data (like the words in this webpage, its url, number of comments etc.) resides on a software named MySQL. MySQL is difficult to manage as there is no graphical interface – you have to use that black screen. To make it easier, there is a software named PHPMyAdmin. We PHPMyAdmin, we can visually backup and restore the data if needed. For accessing that publicly visible folder where WordPress is, we use another software, that is to be installed on your computer – FTP or Secure FTP Software. Where we will need this FTP Software ? I am providing the answer, but think yourself logically.
We will use this FTP software to upload the Google’s webmaster tool’s verification file, we can use to upload a zip file so that you can download it.
So, for complete backup of WordPress, we will need the MySQL database backup though PHPMyAdmin (it is the basic, there are indirect ways) and all the files (actually only few files are needed, just for your easy understanding) on that public folder where your WordPress is. That is via that FTP software. So, basically after installation, we will rarely need that black screen command line tool (just for understanding the basic, actually it is needed for update of the computer softwares – that is the server’s softwares and many things).

Self Hosted WordPress Versus Old HTML, PHP, Dreamweaver created websites

For easy understanding, there is no database – that MySQL and PHPMyAdmin is not present. All files are on FTP. You can understand, how easy it is. Just use your FTP software, login and you will get all your files. In fact, they can be scrapped without any access to the server (for HTML only, PHP is serverside programming language, it can not be scrapped in that way). So there are definitely practical facts – WordPress is an Advance, Interactive software and gives a huge flexibility. Despite the fact that a plain HTML page will load faster, WordPress is actually a software and being a software it is considered to Google bots a bit differently – this why WordPress or any web software with some needed functions ranks far better than a plain HTML webpage – it itself pings several services, makes Google aware of a new web page.

Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras : #DAMARU

The Current Uprise of Premium Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras is Not New. Many a times, consumers are getting confused while buying the Compact Digital Cameras. Many a times, it is difficult for them to understand what is Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera (DSLM), Bridge Digital Cameras, Digital SLR cameras. Digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) or older film single-lens reflex camera (SLR) is actually not always the first choice of a high end ammeter or a professional. It was always Rangefinder Camera except few situations where single-lens reflex camera works better due to their inherited advantaged of shutter mechanism. Choice if budget is not a matter is Digital Rangefinder camera, That is virtually Leica M and Leica Monochrome at the time of writing this guide.

What Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras Means?

Technically, Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras should mean that the lens’s focus is not adjustable. The focus is set at the time of manufacturing. It is set to the hyperfocal distance, so that the depth of field ranges from few feet to infinity. Rather than having a method of determining the correct focusing distance and setting the lens to that focal point, a fixed-focus lens relies on sufficient depth of field to produce acceptably sharp images. By design they have a small aperture, which increases the depth of field. When such extended depth of field they are known as full-focus cameras.

As such, Fixed-focus Lens Film Cameras existed before in film era. They were actually Rangefinder camera but not system cameras and a range written to indicate that lens can not be changed. They were Medium to Large Format. What “Compact Digital Camera” now indicates were said “Focus Free”! Noobs can not focus, adjust exposure, for them those Focus Free Film Cameras were sold. Kodak Retina S2 is good example.  Later in 1990s, zoom with electronic functions came. They had no proper name, usually “Good Zoom Camera” used to point towards them. They had the rangefinder function. Basically, that “Good Zoom Camera” were added a cropped sensor, rangefinder based viewfinder excluded by the manufacturers and became “Compact Digital”. You may enjoy it :

There is no reason to think that these new Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras are exactly same like Kodak Retina S2, indeed the new are optically worser breed. Kodak specially manufacturers the sensors for Leica. The resemblance is probably legally accepted.

Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras : What the Sellers Promote With

It is normal for the buyers with limited knowledge to seek the best stuff at bargain price. Photography is a luxury for creation of art. Anything related to creation of art has no limit of pricing. Good quality graphite pencil costs a bomb. Most commonly the selling companies give a physical appearance of the cameras closer to a typical DSLR. Furthermore, they mention “manual focus ring”. As commonly abused for all segments, promoting with higher megapixel value is common.  We have classified these Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras in to two groups :

1. Professional Grade or Premium Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras
2. Consumer Grade Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras

Basis of classification is Image Sensor Format, quality of Lens, possible genuine mechanical manual focus system. The reason of this classification is – there are professional grade users who needs a good Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Camera for some practical filed works over a camera with interchangeable lens i.e. DSLR or Digital Rangefinder.

---

Rangefinder is the acceptable mechanism to see through the optical viewfinder. That was standard in zoom lens film cameras. They mostly vanished now among the single reflex cameras except the Digital Rangefinders.

Who Needs the Near Ideal Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras

High End Ammeters to Professionals need Near Ideal Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras For Certain Purposes. Suppose, there is a civil war. How it is practical to use Leica M or Leica Monochrome in such situation? A hooligan or an innocent mob can push away the photographer. The camera can fall, it can break. Cameras with interchangeable lenses are not so stable unlike a Compact Digital. There is risk to getting dust inside the camera’s body. Portrait Photographers do not need wide range of focal lengths. After having a costly DSLR with many lenses, it is may be impractical to buy Leica M. But a consumer, particularly a newbie never needs a Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Camera. As the price range of these few Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras are approaching towards the price of Leica’s other cameras, except who has the control on composition, exposure triangle, it is possibly a bad advice them to buy a Premium Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Camera. They may want to shift towards wildlife photography or macro photography. DSLR is suitable for such usages.

Normally, for the DSLR and Digital Rangefinders, we prefer the prime lens over the zoom lens. The naming – Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras, also targets the advanced users. Cost of Leica M Body plus Lens is far higher than Leica’s Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Camera Leica Q.

None Knows the Whole Truth Behind the Premium Fixed-focus Lens Compact Digital Cameras 

The driving mechanism of lens elements are different in compact digital camera. There are difference in movement mechanism of a zoom lens. What are true zoom lens, they have a parfocal lens design. Whereas, arifocal lens design is commonly used for the compact digital cameras. Usually it is said that, twist-zoom is inferior. Twist-zoom is commonly used in the consumer cameras. Not to forget that we have diaphragm as an important factor. To find the really good diaphragm blades, nowadays except seeking the vintage lenses, there is really not huge options. How one “mechanical manual focus ring” can control so many parameters on a zoom lens of a compact digital camera, that is really not possible to know. Compact Digital camera has a special Macro Mode, which is different than the true Macro Lens. Most mechanisms are patented.

Conclusion

We are aware that Leica Q has good rating and good feedback. Still, for the new users; we will suggest to think about Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera (DSLM) or entry level Digital SLR cameras, according to their budgets. Who are advanced users, they can use the tool rightly. Ratings for the segment is possibly from the advanced users. Leica Q is full-frame and actually worths the money. Leica SL is Leica’s professional grade mirrorless. This is the current average street pricing for Leica’s systems –2012

Leica M9 Digital Rangefinder Camera – $5,500 (Body only) [Old model, We Suggest]
Leica M-P Digital Rangefinder Camera – $5,300 (Body only) [We Suggest]
Leica M7 Digital Rangefinder Camera – $4,300 (Body only) [We Suggest]
Leica Q Digital Camera – $4,200
Leica T Mirrorless Digital Camera – $ 1,600 [We Suggest]
Leica D-Lux Digital Camera – $1,200

Turning an old computer into a web server of your own

Principle of a server

If you do not know what to do with your old computer, you must know that you can give it a new feature : turning it to a server. The principle of the server is to be permanently connected to the Internet to provide a particular service. This can be for example a Web server that will store your pages and make them accessible on the net. Indeed, it is not necessary to have a powerful computer to perform this function (in the case of a blog that is enough). 

The disadvantage is that it can use much electricity as the PC you use, especially as the power supply. So make sure it does not consume too much.

Then, it must already have unlimited internet connection. For a server, it is not necessary to have a monitor, keyboard or mouse. For example you can install a VNC server and access it through another computer in case of problems, or simply plug a screen if the server crashes.

Establish a Web server

To install a Web server, use Apache. Its installation is simple and therefore it is best to use a service like Wamp will allow to have Apache with PHP and MySQL installed.

After installation, right click on the program icon in the notification area at the bottom right and click Go online. You should get in the icon in the notification area. Now, all files that are in the www directory of wamp root folder will be visible on the Internet.

To check if it works properly, just type your IP address in a browser and you should see the files in the www. This address is mostly dynamic (changing each time you reset the connection), there are services like DynDNS , which can give you a static address.

In case of problems, you have to use a router (this is the case for Box ISPs), we must open port 80 which is closed by default. To do this, simply depending on your box to go in the NAT port translation. Then give a name, select port 80, type the IP address of the server on the LAN and finally add this new rule.

If you want your files from the local network, the IP address to be used is one that has the computer on the LAN, like this xyz.abc.p.qrs. Do not put the address you have on the net.

To summarize

• It’s very easy to create to a blog or website hosted on your own computer.
• A powerful PC can perfectly play the role of a Web server.
• Pay attention to power consumption.

Other points:

1. Operating system: You can use your existing Operating system (like Windows XP Professional), Install small foot print free Linux (Like Cent OS), buy Windows Server Editions. Difference between usual and Server Operating System is that, Server Operating System does not have needless programs installed and have lower CPU and RAM usage.
2. UPS: This is must. You must have an uninterrupted power supply unit which can provide a backup of atleast 24 hour in case of power failure.
3. Type of Internet connection: Always on, cable, broadband or T1 Internet with unlimited usage is ideal. Mobile Internet has the risk of frequent disconnections.
4. Security: You must fine tune the security of your server from attacks of intrusion of hackers or viruses.

USB Modem : Functions, Features and Types

Advertisement

USB Modem is a small external device that can be connected via USB port used to transmit digital information for the purpose of connecting to the Internet.The word modem originated from modulator-demodulator. USB Modems are now widely used as they are portable, wireless and on some ISPs an USB Modem can give almost the same speed and consistency of connection when compared to cable connection.

Technology of a typical USB Modem

An USB Modem actually delivers wireless Internet access, which is better known as Mobile Broadband. The evolution of USB Modem is from PC card or ExpressCard which slided into a PCMCIA/PC card/ExpressCard slot on relatively older laptop computers. As with time Smartphone became very powerful and various Network technologies arrived, both got merged and created these easy to use USB Modem devices.

Most current smartphones support the function of an USB modem, typically for Nokia they are quite easy to use. However the maximum speed that can be achieved via an USB Modem is much more than when a smartphones is used to function as an USB modem. The reason is, the smartphone needs to keep the phone functions on using the same hardware terminal.

Most USB Modem has an USB plug to connect to the computer, an IC inside which includes a SIM card or USIM card, either detachable or locked by the ISP. Most of the USB modem doubles up as an micro SD card reader. Externally there is a LED indicator which indicates the availability, connection status etc. of the Mobile Broadband. All  USB Modem needs a typical cellular phone network in order to get connected to the Internet, in other words, they are needs non-satellite type connectivity although some has satellite based Internet connectivity options.

Types of USB Modem

Based on the network technology, a typical USB Modem can support High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), that extends and improves the performance of existing WCDMA protocols. Most USB modem which supports the above written technologies, supports Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). Older USB Modem usually uses CDMA-1 (EVDO related), GSM (GPRS/EDGE). However, when there is no HSDPA access, an hardware based network switch automatically uses the  GPRS/EDGE network.

Features of USB Modem

An advanced USB Modem with very good ISP is a jewel. As all advanced USB Modem has detachable USIM slot, an USIM with VPN connectivity can boost up the speed and stability even while inside a fast moving car. Up to 28 Mbit/s is supported by some USB Modem ISP providers.

Other points

Typically for  UMTS / HSPDA supported USB Modem, hardware switching takes place depending upon the type of usage. For remote areas, fall back to GPRS/EDGE significantly reduces the speed. If you are connecting an USB Modem with USB Hub to Increase the Number of USB Ports, the network switching might not be optimal.
