Squidoo a unique take on blogs and social networking.

This is simply a fantastic website. Imagine a place where you can sign upand talk about anything you wanted, sell products, participate in community activities and just make yourself and other feel good. This is what Squidoo is all about.

I highly suggest you all to sign up and become a member today. It's similar to having a blog but with a community of helpful members to help you out and who are looking for friends. I would have t say that this is a borderline social networking community. You can browse other peoples 'lens' as they are called to see what everyone else is up to. Not only that, you get paid for traffic to direct to your squidoo lens!

I set mine up over the past few days and I just started getting the hang of it. My lens is now published and you can view it by click here. Setting up your own Squidoo lens is fast and easy. Over the next few days I will adding stuff to our blog here on how to make even more money on Squidoo, as soon as I actually figure it out that is. One of our policies here at GetOnePC is to not promote anything that doesn't yeild results. So I just wanna be sure before I go off giving you ideas to make money if I we can't do it.

Once you sign up and create your lens the first thing you need to do is join some groups. Joining groups will help you get some traffic to your lens. At the beggining it will be very helpful! So don't neglect joining groups.

One last thing I recommend is filling out your bio and uploading a picture of yourself. People seem to have a greater sense of trust for those who are not affraid to share some of their personal interests. You don't want to look like a scam so, once again, be sure to fill out your bio and upload a picture.

Boot your computer faster!

Most of you may have problems with getting your computer to boot fast enough. I remember my first computer. The first time I pluged it in and booted it up I was soo overjoyed. It ran and it ran fast. However, the more I started using it the slower it seemed to be getting. It eventually got to a point to where I would boot it up and walk away for 10 minutes so it could fully load everything. At one point it got soo aggrivating that I started looking around for tips and tricks to get faster boot times.

Waiting for your computer to fully boot to a functional peice of technology can be a daunting task if you have a low amount of RAM and a lot of startup programs. I actually took my comptuer to a repair technician to get this problem solved. Their solution was to add more RAM and for a few weeks that seemed to do the trick. But it didn't last long. I soon came into the same problem. I remember the tech telling me that having more RAM can increase the overall speed of your computer so I started looking for information on how to get a hold of more RAM. Sadly, much to my surprise, I found out that I could not add any more RAM. My computer was maxed at 1GB of RAM.

After some experimenting I stumbled onto some extremely usefull information. I learned on RAM worked and I learned alot about how computers work. Here is what found out.

• All programs require RAM to start up and run.
• RAM is like a memory bank for your computer to help stat things faster.
• The more RAM your computer has, the more it can handle.
• RAM is used to store information about a program.
• RAM is used to speed up the process of opening and runing programs.

Now after I learned all that I started to evaluate my computer useage. Every time I booted my computer, it loaded around 20 or so programs. This was causing a 'bottleneck' of information and my CPU was on overload trying to load the programs because I simply didn't have enough
RAM. I came to realize that the less amount of programs you have starting up during your boot, the faster you computer will boot!

Keeping a clean desktop (having a lot of desktop icons can slow down boot times as well) and minimizing the amount of startup programs you have will greately increase your boot times. I only had to do this once....until I upgraded to Wndows Vista. Once again, the vista boot time droped dramatically. After I did it once in Windows Vista I went from a slow boot to a speedy boot.
