Ever wanted to browse a website with multiple logins simultaneously? Perhaps you have two Gmail accounts whose inboxes you’d like to monitor at the same time. Or maybe you want to surf several Facebook accounts without having to log off one before being able to sign in another.
Here’s a simple 2-step tutorial on how to use multiple accounts for a single website using the Firefox web browser. Read More

OnLive was just announced a few days ago and is already taking the gaming industry by storm. The game service has been in development for 7 years before this announcement, and silently too which is remarkable considering its potential. OnLive basically takes advantage of cloud gaming technology so that gamers can play high-end games such as Crysis on nearly any computer (PC or Mac) and TV. If you want to learn more about the “future of video games,” check out this OnLive News site!
A playlist in Windows Media Player
I frequently turn on the Shuffle option when listening to playlists. But sometimes I don’t want it totally randomized. I’d like it if some songs were grouped together – if song 1 was played, I’d like to hear song 2 and song 3 played right after. Then after this group is played, the rest of the songs would continue to be shuffled until another group is played.
So how do we group songs in a playlist? I believe that media players can create a feature similar to the Link option found in Adobe Photoshop. Read More
Many websites today fail at providing a simple way for users to find information quickly and easily on their websites. A user will typically leave in frustration if it is difficult for them to find that specific article they read a week ago or maybe even last night if the website is updated frequently. This can cause a decrease in the average time a user browses the website or even a decline in visitor loyalty (the amount of times a past user revisits the website).
In this series (hopefully I write more than one article on this topic), I will cover several ways this problem can be rectified that does not require a whole site overhaul. One of these ways is to provide an easier-to-use page numbering system. In the following, I will provide a few examples of both good and bad page number systems and a very simple solution to rectify the usability problem. Read More
I’ve been using the brand-new phpBB forum software for the past few days now and I must admit I am very impressed. But that’s a post for another time! For now, I’ll discuss the optimal placement of Google ads within phpBB’s templates, the easiest method to do so, and most importantly, how to achieve all this legally under Google’s TOS.
This was once a blog dedicated to web development and it was located at amplifiedShock (now redirects to my online web portfolio). More details about this can be found here (this link can also be found at the footer of every page in case this post is lost).
As the title of this post suggests, this is basically an expansion of my old blog with a more personal injection of random stuff. Things to expect are rants about everything, updates on my projects, a comic that is a mix between Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and online gaming drama, and more!

Prevent Blogger from resizing images
Images that are uploaded in Blogger are stored at Google’s Picasa Web Albums at its original file size and dimensions. If you login to Picasa with your Blogger account, then lo and behold, you shall see your original images!
Interestingly enough, the image code that Blogger inserts into your blog post are modified. Instead of linking (Blogger automatically links the images to itself) and displaying your original image file, Blogger links to a scaled-down, resized version instead. I believe only images wider than 800px are affected by this protocol.
Displaying/linking to full-sized images is pretty simple since we know that our original image files are stored on the server – we just need to access them! I have 2 solutions on how to display full-sized images in Blogger. Read More »
