A Través De Nuestros Ojos

Yesterday, I was awarded a prize for a poem that I wrote in Spanish for my course (voluntary). I received a Rose, Book and a Cerficate in honor of the day “Sant Jordi”. I will translate later!

A Través De Nuestros Ojos

El mundo sin paz
El dinero que causa luchas
El sol que causa cáncer

FEO…

Los niños sin comida
Los animales sin tierra
Las mañanas sin tranquilidad

FEO…

La guerra en el mundo
La vida sin voz
La destrucción de la capa de ozono

FEO…

Los politicos que causan separación
Los desastres que destruyen vidas
Los pájaros sin alas

FEO…

Las drogas que existen en el mundo
Las pistolas que matan
Las enfermadades que no tienen cura

FEO…

Los toros sin libertad
Los animales que se extinguen
Los niños sin padres

FEO…

Las personas que estan solas
Las mañanas sin sol
Las noches sin estrellas

FEO…

El corazón que no puede querer
Gente sin educación
La polución de la calle

FEO…

Los niños recién nacidos, que traen inocencia y esperanza para cambiar el futuro. BUENO

For The Absence

sylita — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 23:18:28 +0000

Well it’s quite possible I’m writing to myself, since I have pretty much abandoned my blog. No excuses really, other than the same ole. I’ve been busy. But honestly I have and not enough attention to write anything on this website at least.

In due time, I’ll start posting again. Until the next time. Have a happy October and this month is: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

So support where you can!

YPN Adds Paypal Payments

sylita — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:48:54 +0000

Well I guess the Yahoo! Publisher Program is ahead of Google Adsense with one minor thing and that is payment options. Perhaps they could be opening the option after the beta is over for other countries to receive payments faster and easier. I’m for one happy that they have added this option although I prefer direct deposit because there are no fees involved at all. With a business Paypal account a percentage is deducted every time that your receive any type of payments. If you have low standing you might want to opt in the paypal option to receive your payment faster but with a small fee!

Here is how you activate it in your account:

So it is with PayPal, which, we wanted to remind you, is now a payment option for publishers in our network. There are a number of bennies to using PayPal:

* Payment requires a minimum balance of just $50, as opposed to $100 for checks
* Same-day paymentâ€”whereas check payments are made seven to ten days after we receive the request (payments will still be issued on pre-determined days)
* No-fee transfers to your PayPal account, so you donâ€™t pay more for the convenience

To add PayPal to your account, go to the â€œPayment Optionsâ€ page under the Account Information tab, check the PayPal radio button, and click â€œSubmit.â€

Auction Ads Results

sylita — Thu, 17 May 2007 07:47:52 +0000

Auction ads to put it simple is very awesome. I like it because its easy to add to any site and ebay has a truck load of items ranging from weird to luxury. My total is far from something to brag about but placing the ads on websites that hardly get much traffic has done pretty decent.

I average about 300 impressions a day which is very low. Total revenue earned 15 including $11.56 from May 13th. Not too bad and the minimum to receive a check is $10 by paypal.

A good offer is going around by Text Link Ads who are offering their customers that join AuctionAds $5.00 deposited into your new auction ads account. Pretty good stuff considering the minimum for a check is $10 you’re almost halfway there

So go over to TLA to sign up for a free account there and then sign up for Auction Ads!

Good luck

Kontera Pays!

Finally a year later, after “testing” Kontera, I will get my first check I finally put Kontera into second gear in the last quarter of 2006. I like that it doesn’t interfere with Google Adsense. Last month went well also, so I look forward to thinking of more ways to implement the ads into my sites. Anyone who is thinking about joining, you’d better go ahead.

Video Resume The Way To Go

sylita — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 12:26:26 +0000

I just finished reading today’s online USA Today and how resume videos will probably explode in the next months. It’s actually very interesting but it doesn’t surprise me. With technology innovations such as Youtube and other video outlets its very easy to demonstrate who are and what you bring to the table. Not just facts in print such as traditional resumes.

Here is a good example of a video resume by Allen Ulbricht who was featured in the USA today article. He’s famous now

But it’s great to present something fresh and unique and video helps you do that!

Dragon Naturally Speaking Training

sylita — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 23:10:33 +0000

Today, for the first time I’m testing out the latest Dragon Naturally Speaking program. I find it very to be quite good.

I had to train it several times. And because I have a webcam and a Altec Lancing headset mic-in microphone I ran into some difficulties. But overall it is very intuitive. After playing around with it, I managed to spit out articles with 450 words in about 5 minutes, plus editing which was another 2 minutes. I can say that isn’t bad at all. In the past I have outsourced many articles and I still will for more topics that I don’t have much interest or know absolutely NOTHING about.

I never thought after taking those Speech Recognition classes at Georgetown, that I would be using it. That class was quite boring, well at least the professor. Looking back I still remember a good thing or two

I recommend anyone who needs to dictate or write constantly to give Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 or previous versions a try!

Back Up with Sync Toy

sylita — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 10:13:32 +0000

Yesterday I backed up my 120gb laptop using Microsofts free sync toy. This free program is pretty fast and not so bulky as a lot of paid programs. Much much better than the installed backup system on Windows systems.

A good review of using sync at this blog is neat.

When I lost my hard drive back in 2003 I’ve made it my mission to keep backups as often as possible. Hard work down the drain is something I don’t wish on anyone .

Do you know “The Secret”

sylita — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 14:29:57 +0000

Today I took the time to watch “The Secret” DVD Documentary that was recommended to me by a friend. I really didn’t have a clue what it was about. So I researched it a little before watching and it seems to be popular and even featured on the Oprah Show.

The dvd was a quick watch and very inspirational. In any aspect of your life you can apply the secret. In my opinion everyone has known the secret since birth but very few people apply it. I have had spurts in my life where I’ve applied it and it does work. Sometimes it’s human nature to go away from at times, from things that we know WORK..

Thanks, Todd for sharing the secret with me
