A lot of people don’t realize how much of an opportunity they have with the economy and starting their own business. Because of how much doom and gloom the media is sharing with us very few people can see past their own noses to see what a great opportunity we have! If you’ve ever dreamed of having your own successful website right now is the time! You can get your very own php based arcade script with games included and start making money now with addicted users! What do advertisers pay on? They pay based on the number of visitors your website gets, they pay based on how long those visitors are on your site, and they pay based how loyal your visitors are… all of which can be gained with a simple arcade website! This script is plug and play compatible with all of your necesities to get started. Just check out the demo to see if this opportunity is right for you!

Very soon this blog will be purely gaming and computer tips and tricks, as of now it is making itself useful to make a couple extra dollars.В  Once I have 15 blogs up all specialized though it will be much easier to only put up P3 articles that relate to the site that they’re being put on!

Another thing that I HATED about ReadyBoost was that when it cached items… I don’t know what it was caching, but it must of been big, about three times a day (at least every day as I noticed) it would start to cache (I could tell because the HDD light would come on, and the light for the flash drive would freak out) my computer would come to a halt, using 75% of my CPU and sucking down every bit of resiliance my Hard Drive had it would try to make things easier for Windows to find IN CASE it might need to be loaded… And then inevitably it would do it in the middle of the night when I was trying to sleep, although a relatively silent process the wildly random blinking lights were always annoying when trying to fall asleep.В  Because I have so much open all the time (Firefox, Games, Thunderbird, etc.) any time I closed anything it seemed to want to cache that item right away.

I will give ReadyBoost credit though.В  It did seem to make game map loads much quicker for certain games.В  Ones such as Half-Life:2 and a few others that would pre-cache maps it made the loading screens few and far between, which I was very happy about.

Oh well, I still can’t deny the fact that I’ve got a good 600 or so hours in CoH, and at least 200 in Counter-Strike:Source.

Archmaille’s Xfire Profile

Maybe I should just fill you in on a little history first.В  Archmaille.com is and was the oldest and first site that I ever created!В  Lets face it though… Archmaille.com sucked back then.В  It was “designed” in a crappy text editor that used divisions and pixel placement of those divisions to place images, text boxes, etc.В  It looked very basic and childish to start with, and if you used any different screen resolutions you may as well forget it.В  The original intent was to sell my sterling silver jewelry on here… but let’s be honest it wasn’t going to happen with that website and a few PayPal buttons for orders.

Some time in 2005 I started using a slightly better system with tables, some basic images, and some copied CSS for the navigation links (that didn’t really fit very well might I add).В  The look of the site was only slightly improving, but my knowledge was growing fast.

By 2006 (Actually some time between June 4th and 8th 2005) the site had been completely reworked thanks to some help I found on a webmasters forum, a guy made a simple banner, and helped me with some template/color issues.

The site stayed basically the same for quite a while since it was banned from Google for the use of “scraper” pages… which were my form of payment for using the site.В  Since I wasn’t hosting the site, and didn’t own the domain Jordan put the pages up to help subsidize the cost of it.В  He made plenty of money from it and eventually the ban was lifted though I never got PR back or really got indexed very well.В  So I took the site to a new place ArchmailleDesigns.com and put a 301 redirect to that from all Archmaille.com pages.В  Now that I’ve transfered all domains to my new server, Archmaille.com has sort of been in no-mans land for a while… but finally transfering it as well I’ve noticed that with the latest PR update it also has a PR4 from the countless hours of link building done for the site… so I’ve decided not to put the 301′s back in place but instead use this as my “gaming” blog.

I’ve been gaming pretty much most of my life and known in game as Archmaille for the last 4 years.В  It’s only fair that I use this domain for my gaming stuff.
