With the holidays coming, I had a great opportunity to take my DSLR on a field day. I think it’s also a great moment to state how awesome Picasa 3.6 is (except for uploaded picture quality).

Let’s face it: many online store don’t give a donkey’s ass about Paypal. There rarely is any workaround when you don’t have a credit card at hand unless you get access to the Paypal Virtual Credit Card. For Amazon, there is a way to buy small items in case of emergency. I wouldn’t buy a HDTV that way, but it’s good for rare items under 20 bucks.

It’s called Mechanical Turk, and you will have to work for your money. Mechanical Turk is an Amazon hive mind website where you get paid pennies for giving a hand in all sorts of services from surveys to product categorizing. I am usually repelled by those survey filling websites, but getting paid in Amazon credit is a great advantage and it can help if you absolutely need that ONE adapter that isn’t on eBay for some reason. It’s also a great way to kill incurable boredom in a productive way.

I cannot claim I earned a lot, but it can be useful for the few of us that still won’t use their credit card online.

The awesome Trly.gd search tool made it to Google. Are you guys willing to help me promote it? It’s totally worth it!

Hello everyone!

Trly.gd might go for sale after a single week on the internets. I am a bit short on cash and hundred-bucks domain names are not exactly paying the bills. If I can get a price in the 4 figures, Trly.gd will be taken to another domain. Otherwise, the domain will keep providing excellent search tools.

Trly.gd, the awesome keyword-based search tool gets its domain name after a few weeks of development. On top of all the great features it offers, Trly can now shrink URLs.
