Deleting facebook account

Once again time for some further clarification regarding the deletion process.

Based on many success-stories, I know for a fact that it works. The crucial step is to not use your Facebook account for 14 days after you've requested deletion. Only the slightest interaction with Facebook and the deletion is cancelled!

So, I've updated the information regarding this, which now reads:

Your account will be deactivated for two weeks, and if you DO NOT USE FACEBOOK IN ANY WAY during that period, your account is permanently deleted.

I REPEAT: Your profile isn't deleted right away! You must NOT log in to, or interact in any other way with Facebook for at least two weeks, as it will cancel the deletion request. That includes NOT logging in to Facebook using any client (like the iPhone app or IM:s like Pidgin), NOT clicking embedded Like-buttons on other websites, NOT logging in to other services using Facebook Connect (like Digg) etc etc.

Hey, while your're at it, delete all your browsing/forms history and cookies as well, to minimize the risk of accidentally using your account!

If you want out - stay out, mmmkay? ;)

Updated ways of contacting Facebook (only by email now).

Tried to clear things up a bit regarding the deletion process. You can't imagine how many mails I get saying that the deletion doesn't work. 99 % of the time people are just too eager to check if it actually worked, logging in to their deactivated account, hence canceling the deletion request.

domain and website design software

When it comes to designing your website, you have so many options it can make your head spin. There are various free tools on the Internet that will work well, but for a truly special site, you may want to buy some professional website design software. These have everything you need to help you build a professional and slick looking website. These also come with detailed instructions on how to use the software, as well as help. You may not know what to choose when it comes to website design software, and it may depend solely on what you can do with a computer and how much help you need. When you look at some websites you like, see if they list what type of software was used to build that site. This may help you narrow down your list. You may also want to email some webmasters to see if they will let you know what they used. You may not get a response, but it is worth a shot.

The website design software I have found pretty easy to use is Swish. This program makes it easy to build a nice looking website without being too complicated. This is great for a beginner, because the controls are easy to use, and once you get the hang of it, it is easy to build and update your site. It also makes it easy to upload your site to your server and everything seems to run smoothly. Your selection of website design software may come down to price. The best software won’t do you much good if you can’t afford it. You may be able to find used versions on eBay, but make sure it is a legal copy before you buy it. You may find new software at a great price, but remember that the lower the price, the less it can do. Don’t forget to search the net for ideas and information. Look for reviews for website design software, and read all you can. This will help you discover which software works the best, and which types are more user friendly than others. Quite often the best advertisement for any type of software is testimony from those who have used it. See what users have to say about ease of use, price, and the results. If the software is easy to use, it won’t be worth the price if it cannot give you a professional looking website when you are finished.

Spider or not

Have you had a close encounter with a nasty looking spider? Or maybe you haven't been so lucky and have actually been bitten!!
Spider identification can be an enormous help especially when travelling abroad to countries such as Australia where some are some seriously scary, venomous and dangerous critters.

Ad blocker

An ad blocker can help you with pesky ads which constantly interrupt the joys of your web browsers. These ads will keep coming up and coming up, annoying you and breaking your concentration while you are reading the fascinating contents of the wikipedia, or perhaps checking your email. It is impossible to figure out why these people persist in their incessant spamming when it is clear that you don't want to buy their juk, but it is clear that an ad blocker is the only way to prevent these annoying ads. If you are a parent, an ad blocker can be necessary to protect your children from the sometimes harmful contents of the internet. Many ads that pop up may advertise things that are potentially dangerous or upsetting to children, such as pornography or shocking videos and documentaries. An ad blocker will decrease the likelihood of these advertisements popping up, and even if they sometimes do, they will be much more infrequent if you have an ad blocker.

Besides this, ad blockers will greatly increase your performance of your web browser. The amount of resources taken up by ads that repeatedly pop up and pop up is ridiculous – it wastes your computers processing power, and it wastes your time. But with an ad blocker, you can go right where you want on the internet without bothering about advertisements. Of course, an ad blocker alone is not enough to stop all web mischief on your computer. Some systems will install harmful “malware” on your computer which will stop it from functioning correctly. This software will keep track of where you go on the internet and sends reports back to advertisers so that they can track you and try to sell things to you. It can also subver ad blockers and make you see advertisements that should be blocked. They can even use web diverters on you, which make your computer go to sites other than the one which you chose to go to, and make some web sites unavailable to you. To stop this ruthless plundering of your computer by unethical hackers, it is essential that you obtain a virus detector and eliminator to stop them from infecting you. Also, you must always be sure to use the internet responsibly. Do not go to web sites with lots of ads or places that look “fishy” or seem to promise illegal or questionable services. These are more likely than any others to be the ones to subvert your computer and ruin your productivity.
