They Claim You Get Stuff Cheap At QuiBids.com

Tommy White — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:34:47 +0000

So late last night while I was watching TV another commercial came on for QuiBids.com. I had already visited them once but thought what the hell let’s go try it out. From being a web developer I knew the concept behind the site. Basically you buy bids at around $0.50 each and then you bid on items along with other people. Let’s say you’re bidding on a Gift Cards for example and win it like I did. The final bid was around $2.00 and it was a $50 gift card. Let’s toss some math in and find out how much the company really made off that card.

Say it took me 10 bids x $0.50 = $5.00
Say 20 other people were bidding and placed 10 bids each which is 200 bids x $0.50 = $100.00
Now since I won it I have to pay the final price of $2.10 plus shipping / handling which is $1.99
Grand total I paid for this card was $9.09 (including bids), or $4.09 including shipping which is how they want you to see it.
Grand total Quibids made from this card sale is $109.09!

Was it worth it to me? Yes!
Would I do it again? Yes!
Did I do it again? Yes!

I won 3 game points which you use to win free bids, 50 additional bids and two other gift cards. In the end I came ahead since the bids I won were actually purchases. Total amount if Gift Cards I won was $85.

Now they have a LOT of other stuff, gift cards is just something I wanted to bid on. Another good thing that I noticed was on some auctions if you hit the max amount that the card is worth they stop allowing you to be on it and instead offer a Buy It Now option where you pay $1.00 less than the face value of the card but when you factor in shipping it comes to $0.99 more. It’s still a good deal because this way you’re not losing all those bids you spent by still getting the item through Buy It Now.

They also offer badges for winning, bidding and etc. Attached to those badges are extra bids. I won an extra 25 bids on badges and had fun doing it.

Would I recommend QuiBids.com to someone? Sure I would but make sure you understand what you’re bidding on and can afford to lose bids if someone else really wants the item. One example was a 40 inch TV that sold for $40.00. That’s 4000 bids at $0.50 each, totaling $2000!

Either way if you have some money to blow and are thinking about it check them out at http://www.quibids.com and let me know what you win!

Green Screen When Trying To Play Videos Online

Tommy White — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:43:20 +0000

Everything was going great and then BAAAM no more videos! While it could be anything odds are it’s one of two actual issues. The first is you need to ask yourself “did I install any kind of new video player or codecs recently?”. If the answer is yes then I would start looking there first. For me it wasn’t the first but the second issue. A quick fix for me and I’m hoping for you as well is to simply pull up a video that’s playing nothing but a green background, right click on the video, go to settings and uncheck the Hardware Acceleration box. Reload or restart your browser and see if it’s fixed!

If not, sorry I tried!

Krystal Blue Meat Specs

Tommy White — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 21:20:24 +0000

So the other day my wife and I were visiting Chattanooga and decided to grab something quick on the way home. After driving for a while we decided to just grab a sackful from Krystal and enjoy them on the trip home. Wrong! My first bite left me wondering what this blue object was staring back at me. I checked and over half of the hamburgers had this mystery color in them. I removed a piece of the blue and it was very rubbery but smeared at the same time between my fingers.

Knowing that this can’t be good I contacted Krystals who didn’t answer so I left a DETAILED message along with my name and call back information. What really ticks me off is they didn’t even bother to take the problem seriously and call me back. Here are some photos of what I found. You be the judge of what these mysterious blue objects could be!

Fiverr Download Error

Tommy White — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:47:09 +0000

Just wanted to share this in case it’s happening to you. On Fiverr if you’re sending files to a client do NOT use spaces in the file name. Fiverr is aware of this issue and is working to get it fixed but for now NO SPACES!

Example would be:
this is the name of my file.zip

It should really be something like:
this_is_the_name_of_my_file.zip or thisisthenameofmyfile.zip

So if you’re getting an error something like below it’s because of the spaces!

Hint: use ‘@foo’ to launch a virtual device named ‘foo’.

Tommy White — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:24:27 +0000

OK I am posting this because I spent all ******* day trying to fix a bug that’s been around for roughly 3 ******* YEARS.

invalid command-line parameter: Files. Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'. please use -help for more information

If you’re trying to use eclipse to build an application, like me, then you have probably ran in to the above error when using Windows 7 64bit with 64bit Java.

I have tried a LOT of different solutions but none worked. So while reading about creating a symbolic link in windows I came up with an idea. COPY THE ANDROID FOLDER LOCATED IN YOUR Program Files (x86) FOLDER TO C:\ANDROID. Once it’s finished change the link in Eclipse (window / preferences) to the new location.

All I know is it’s working fine for me now and I HOPE this helps someone else out!

How To Add Facebook Profile Pictures To Your Droid X2

Tommy White — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 05:17:29 +0000

So if you’re reading this then no doubt you’re having issues. I had those same issues today after upgrading 2 phones on my account to the Droid x2, which I love, from Verizon Wireless.
Let me say that this may or may not work for you. What I can say is that it worked for both of my phones.

I had set my phone completely up before realizing my contacts did not sync with Facebook and for what ever reason there is NO sync button anymore. So after a lot of trial and errors I came up with a method that worked.

Delete your Facebook App, if you have one, and also your facebook account details from the phone. Next on your phone there should be an app pre-installed called “Social Networking”, open it and add your facebook account through that application. Once added save the account and open your contacts. If all went well then your accounts should start linking VERY VERY slowly. Just look for profile pictures to start popping up on random contacts.

This was the only way I could get it to work for me. I don’t know why but it was. Here’s to hoping it works for you!

New Text Link Ad Service For Selling Ad Space On Your Websites And Blogs

Tommy White — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:08:13 +0000

LinkVehicle which appears to be based on the same principles as Text-Link-Ads.com offers it’s members to sell ad space on their websites and blogs, you can of course buy ad space as well. The site still has a ways to go on functionality but I like their concept a little better than it’s competitors. For instance they base ad cost off of Page Rank instead of traffic. Why do I like this better you ask? Well I have some sites that are high PR with decent traffic but competitor sites refuse to list them and I’ve had them queued for YEARS. LinkVehicle gives me an opportunity to list those sites others won’t based off their systems mechanics.

You can choose to list ads manually or automated along with the option of how many characters the ads will be.

They also offer a referral percentage. I have recently started using them so I have no big payments to post or percentages to share but when I do they will be posted.
