ATM Not Working Banker Refunded Fees Always Ask For Money If You Need Money

This is my personal experience. It was a saturday morning 8:00A.M. I went to the nearest ATM to withdraw cash amount. There was a maintenance work going on in the nearest ATM. I had to make it to the shopping complex without any delay. I used the ATM in the complex to withdraw some cash. After a week when I checked my bank account I found $1 levied towards my $40 cash withdrawal. I couldn't agree with it. I called up the customer support and it turned void. After a month yesterday I had some personal work in bank and I met the manager there. I politely mentioned the scenario and the $1 fees to her. I asked if she can help me with this. She asked me about the day of maintenance. She verified it and made sure that it was the right information. All of a sudden she did refund my $1 back to my account. I felt extremely happy.
Moral of this incident - Even if it is late, if you want to save your own money you need to ask for the same. This might sound minimal. But the attitude you have towards your money is great. So, friends hereafter never forget to save money as making money is saving money.

Currently ebates has an option to ship the physical cheque to your home address as per their cycle. For my purchase made yesterday in the month of march, I got an email confirmation saying that I'm going to get this cheque in the month of May. This is my first try and I see ton lots of positive reviews about the credibility of ebates, they have been in business so long and I'm sure that I'll get this cheque in the month of May 2017 Adding to this I did chat with JC Penny online store customer support to make sure I'll get rewards if I start the shopping from ebates.

I found JC Penny offering coupon that will save me 20% on my purchase sitewide on any purchases over $100, 15% purchase below $100. Also, JC Penny offers free shipping for orders over $100. I did choose to utilize the opportunity and clicked on SHOP button from ebates website 3) In JC Penny website I made a purchase and finalized the order. I placed the order and to be double sure used the email address that I did make use of to create my ebates account. Typically the link tracking should work fine, but I did not want to take a chance. EVen if they do email comparison I will have credibility of being loyal to ebates 4) Immediately I turned back to ebates website to see what is going on. I did not see any cash back. This was yesterday night 5) Today morning exactly after 3 hours of making purchase I got the cashback credited in my ebates account. I've set my email alert in ebates, that did notify me of this 6) Ebates promised 3% cashback on my purchase.

Some Tips To Google Blogger Team

Here are my few cents on what google blogger team can do to make blog more sophisticated. We know that blogspot is aimed at static websites. I see some features in Google Sites product which can be integrated with blogspot so that we don't have to migrate to a new website using content management systems (CMS) like Wordpress, Joomla, Google sites etc.
1) At the end of every post there can be one additional button to delete the post. If this exists, we don't have to go to dashboard everytime to choose and delete a post
2) Blogger has provision to include Adsense ads between posts, at sidebar and bottom of posts. It would be great if blogger has an adsense provision to be included inside a post. This can come in following form
2.1) As a feature added to toolbar in post editor. This is the case with Google Sites
2.2) In layout, in body section this feature can be included
3) Adsense position option can be integrated. This is present in Google sites. When we choose to add Adsense as a gadget, we have colour customization (This feature is not in Google sites. This can be included as an additional feature in Google sites), type of unit to be included. In addition position - left, right, centre can be included

Windows 7 Activation Error : invalid Product Key Upgrading From Windows XP to Windows 7, Activation Error 0XC004F061

I have Windows XP running in one of my laptops. I thought of upgrading it to Windows 7 and purchased a Windows upgrade from microsoft.
I formatted the Windows XP OS and tried installing windows 7. I got this peculiar error which said ” Invalid Product Key”.Activation Error 0XC004F061
I followed the correct steps and was wondering why am I finding this error.
I checked few documents and found that I need to retain my old OS (In this case it is windows XP). Retain your old version – windows XP, Windows Vista intact while you are upgrading it to Windows 7.
I installed my Windows XP and tried upgrading it. Now I’m able to perform this upgrade without any error.
Other than this invalid product key error occurs when you mistype the product key, typed a product key relevant to older version (say if you upgrade from XP to Windows 7 you need to type product key information of Windows 7 not Windows XP). These fixes will help fixing “invalid product key” error.

Are you pregnant beware of obesity issues

Are you obese now? Do you think you don't tally the body mass index BMI receommendations? Are you planning to go for a baby now? It is right time to go for a pre-natal consultation. Studies have shown that obese mothers deliver lower birth weight (LBW) babies to delivery failure. A baby born with lower birth weight complication has great chances of developing type 2 diabets, high blood pressure and cardio problems in future. There is a great possibility that he or she picks up the obese gene from his mother
and grows into an obese adult. So an obese mother always delivers an obese baby. So, go for a prenatal consultation with your gynecologist. Follow the health recommendation including mineral, protein, vitamin rich 2000 calorie food daily. Also practice good prenatal exercises, exercise during pregnancy. Take the help of fitness trainer and do great exercises during pregnancy. A healthy mother delivers a healthy baby.

Apply this simple trick while choosing Travel Credit Card

I'm much interested in redeeming travel statement credit by appropriately applying for travel credit card these days. One thing that makes me stay away from applying for one is that I'm scared of too holding too many credit cards affecting my credit score.
I want to make a home purchase in near future and want a really good credit score. Though I'm prompt with paying my bills , pay all the statement balance in full, holding too many credit cards, opening and closing many bank accounts for sign-up bonuses does affect our credit score. I am somewhat hesitant about it
Now, coming to the trick on travel reward credit card, here is what I've found before few minutes
1) All of a sudden I saw a new service from google called Google Compare
2) I logged into Google compare and compared Credit Cards that fall under their category - Airline Miles
3) As with many bloggers constantly talking about the Barclays Arrival Airline miles card, I found both of them really interesting - Barclays Arrival Plus WorldElite Master Card, Barclays ArrivalWorld Mastercard
4) Here is the trick - When I checked requirements interestingly I found that
4.1) To redeem 20000 points from Barclays Arrival World Master card demands us to spend $1000 within first 90 days of card opening
4.1) To redeem 40000 points from Barclays Arrival Plus World Elite Master Card we need to spend $3000 within 90 days of opening
4.3) Trick Works - Myself and my spouse apply for Barclays Arrival World Master card, spend $1000 totally $2000 within first 90 days to redeem 40000 points. We save annual fee starting second year. Cool isn't it?
You can analyse all the options before deciding on it
However, if you would like to redeem all the 80000 points that translates to $800 in travel statement credit by making a purchase total of $6000 within first 3 months go for other option. Note that this card has an annual fee starting second year whereas the other one doesnt have one

best domain authority laser focus sure success

I've always felt that lack of focus had been the major productivity killer.But to achieve something great, we should look for a way to overcome defeat and attain success. This is the correct mindset of an entrepreneur. As an aspiring entrepreneur I've adopted this principle. As a first step I'm reading the books and trying to apply it in my projects.
Before few days, I've launched a competition Alexa 10 day challenge.The basic purpose of this is to make my top ranking alexa website, perform better by focusing on that One Thing. So, far I'm able to post atleast one post per day in that website.
Surprisingly I found that an interesting SEO metric called Domain Authority plays a vital role in determining the success of a website. I've been reading metrics like domain authority, page authority before few months and didn't focus much on it. However, the article that I read yesterday was talking much on importance of Domain authority and how this surpasses page rank parameter. Surprisingly when I checked the domain authority of this best alexa rank website this was closer to 30. This is a very good domain authority. In simple terms this is the measure of how well your posts will rank in a website. As this domain has been registered very long back and I've been working on and off on this, still this is growing stable without my knowledge. That is power of web. So, I decided to apply the One Thing principle with more force to this website.
More good quality posts I post here there is a best chance of them getting listed in first few pages very easily. I'll report more on domain authority progress after few days

How I paid myself before paying bills this month

Last week I have completed reading RICH DAD POOR DAD, the most popular book on personal finance. Although Rob tries to sugar coat usual things like multiplying your income rather than depending on income fromjob for lifetime, I wanted to see if I can try to apply some of the simple principles discussed therein.
As a step towards that the first step is to pay myself before paying my monthly bills. As per the book Rob asks us to make use of the money to be used to pay our bills to first be utilized for investment. In practical terms this might sound impractical. Say, we live in a condo and I got my electricity bill this morning.
It read $100+. I'm not sure what investment I can make with this $100 and make sure I pay the bill wihtin a month after making profit frm this $100. One quick thing that I cna think of is ultra penny stocks traded around $.01. If my luck favours me I might end up doubling my money. Ultra penny stocks are ultra risky. I might lose my money as well.
Also, as part of trading I need to consider $20 towards trading fee. As such I was looking for some safe bet to pay myself before paying the bill. The easiest and safest idea that did pop up is the savings account. I have habit of paying my bills day 1 all these days. Instead I've decided to make it a habit to pay my bills one day before due date and park money in savings account until then. I'm in process of reading and learning different form of investments. In future if I find something interesting I'll share the information here

Am I writing too little on my blogposts

This is a question that I get quite often to mention even with the post that I published before few minutes. Being bit by sEO bug that talks about creating original, unique, good quality content creation on daily basis with atleast 1000 to 3000 words, creating on single niche and making website authoritative etc, it happens that we get the feeling of writing too little and not meeting SEO guidelines set by gurus
Here is what I can say based on my experience
1) In this century google crawler looks for original, unique , good quality post which all of us do
2) We can write as much as we can now. Lets not think about size of posts
3) In a personal sticky note make a note of this post title, anytime in near future we might think of adding more content, updating the post we wrote sometime back.This will really help us improve the post and we will come out of this feeling
4) It may not be possible to build skyscrapper in a single day. Same principle does apply to our posts as well. Lets aim to make it sky scrapper over a period of time
5) Trust in your decision - This is essetially important for any entrepreneur and bloggers are no different

Building Sustainable Website

Any business starts with a business plan which can be set of instructions in a piece of paper. Once the business plan is in place, the business budgeting, execution of business plan, launch of product, marketing and sales of product, operation of business and all aspects of business life cycle come into picture.
As an online entrepreneur, it is really easy to launch a business. However, when it comes to sustaining of online web business it is equally competitive. With changing google algorithm, penalty from google, back links from unwanted websites, there is a extremely great possibility of website losing rank in less than an hour. Hence, stability and sustainability of an online web business is always questionable.
However, by adopting chosen few strategies it is quite possible to make an online business survive in longrun
1) Aim for constant growth - Success is a result of constant, continuous hardwork . Perseverance is the key. The day you launch a website have an attitude to aim for constant, continuous organic growth. Create, original , unique, good quality content articles that will last longer
2) Evergreen blogging is the sustainable factor - Corporate started realizing the power of blogging and spend about $150 or more to get great quality content that can rank better in google. The article forms the fulcrum upon which the offline business runs. Your small business is no different. Always aim for original, unique, good quality content to survive in long run. If you have a website with lots of old content that you think is not relevant in current scenario, better update it or purge it as google has changed the way it treats portals these days
3) Business is Number - This holds good for traffic, visitors, customers, revenue from website. On an average in a typical scenario a website sells for 20 times its revenue. This is the maximum for a well built website. If not look for 10 to 12 months worth of revenue. Make it a point to integrate google analytics code with website from day 1. This takes you miles

Your time is always yours

Today is a big bright beautiful day and I'd like to wish Good Day to all my readers. This post on cultivate your time is on cultivating your own time.
There are 100's of 1000's of time management, personality developemtn books, courses out there. But why one more topic on this? Lets keep it simple. I've developed this time management trick to manage my projects online and offline. I see better results and wanted to share the secret recipe rather than some principles that I would have read in some books.
As I mentioned in first post of efinancialclub.com this website is all about real-life experiences, strategies that I make use of and found to be working fine to build business, grow business, sustain business.
How can I cultivate my best time?
Lets dissect this word by word
Cultivate - Create something new
Your - YES it is all yours
BEST - Aim for the sky to get best results
Time - This is the core concentration we will be talking about
Lets take a simple real-life strategy that I have been adopting for past few years to cultivate my best time
1) I run lots of online websites - I know one focus will help me reap best results. When I started blogging during my first few years, I was too much self-motivated and started taking up unrelated topics. With my littel knowledge on each of them with $10 domain investment, I can start sharing my knowledge without any hesitation. Currently these websites need little to zero maintenance and I choose to retain them considering SEO benefits that has gained over a period of time. Lets talk about SEO in forthcoming posts
2) I learn new technology skills on continuous basis - Knowledge is power and the day you stop reading will be your last day of life
3) I explore ways to make more money - Money Money Money. The magic wand gives you whatever you need in life. Always look for ways to make money in every possible way
4) I explore ways to save money - Even if the savings account pays me .10% extra I never hesitate to give it a try
5) I explore ways to grow money - I'm reading news on finance, tax saving and what not to see how I can grow my hard earned money. As I mentioned this is hard earned I don't want to splurge this
So, when do I cultivate time?
For all the above tasks I need to find my own time and here is my typical strategy to address the same
1) Say we find 10 quick minutes afte lunch/dinner - Utilize that for adding more contacts to your social network profiles like linkedin, facebook etc

Weight loss is always possible

Hello readers!! Today I was thinking about writing something interesting. Health..Our real good health is a fantastic wealth. No real doubt about it. Health is always wealth.
It all started way back in 2010. All of a sudden I stumbled upon LA fitness at NJ. This is the first ever time I happen to visit a fitness center. As an introductory offer we got to meet our coach. Our coach carefully metered our readings
Weight - 215 pounds
BMI - Whooping 36.7..Oh my god Obese Obese
He has mentioned that I'm at the risk of developing diabetes, cholesterol related heart problems and insisted me on joining a coaching program as soon as possible.
Though hesitant at the beginning I wanted to give it a shot. From then on I used to visit fitness center 2 days a week losing 200 calories. Very Very Poor
Now comes 2011. My family commitments made me stay away from fitness center and I didn't take a fitness regimen seriously for 1 whole year. Towards end of October I happened to visit Walmart and unexpectedly visited a section that sells Weight scale. I wanted to give a free shot and was weighing whooping 216 pounds. Oh my gained 2 pound gain
A man is a product of his/her own thinking - Absolutely true. I 100% agree. As a debut step towards my weight loss I purchased this scale and brought it home. My $35 towards my health investment starts
I wanted a way to lose weight and started browsing many different websites. At one point I realized that I have been spending more than 2 hours a day reading all these articles. Instead of doing so if I spend 5 mins on my basic workout journey towards accomplishing my goal kick starts
Let me brief basic things that I did to lose 40 pounds [I'm still able to maintain it real good with full of energy]. In forthcoming posts I'll talk about each and every activity in detail
Why am I talking about weight loss in a financial blog?
HEALTH IS THE REAL WEALTH. You need best health to enjoy the money. Also, I'm talking about accomplishing this at $0 and you save money on this.
Here is a summary of my Home Made Weight Loss Program.
1) Choose to walk 10 minutes to start with at least 3 days a week
2) Avoid carbohydrates for dinner
3) Supplement hunger that pops up once in an hour by drinking plenty of water
4) Perform really easy simple 10 different exercises - 10 times each for 3 days a week - Short exercises even in middle of work like 10 sit-ups in a blog break helps you lose some pounds
5) Mind..Mind...Mind - Its all about mind. Have the desire to keep losing your weight
6) Periodic review - Check your weight daily if not once in a week. There is nothing wrong about it. You should have lots of self-motivation to achieve big
7) Never set a goal or deadline to lose weight - True trust me. Whenever I had set some goals and timeline, though I was able to achieve it before deadline I happened to lose fizz and it would be real better if you aspire to achieve big without goals and deadlines particularly in case on weight loss and weight maintenance. Perseverance is the key. Never be satisfied and always stick to regimen
8) Make weight loss a way of life - Just like brushing, bathing adopt weight loss. I meant weight loss not exercise. I'll talk much more about the difference in my coming posts
9) Buy a full size mirror - This had huge impact in my weight loss. I keep watching myself with full of confidence daily and this instigated me to lose real fast

10) Water intake works magic - Drink plenty of water. If you are averse start with an extra sip and keep increasing the intake quantity

1) Python - The  most popular language. It has packages like urllib2 which helps in web scraping. BeautifulSoup is a package that can be installed and used
2) PHP - The most popular web scripting language has cURL which helps in process of web mining
3) Perl - Progrmmable Extraction And Reporting Language is geared towards this. Powerful perl pattern matching helps in the process of web scraping. In addition to this perl packages like www::mechanize can be downloaded and installed for this extraction.

Save Great Money Soda Snacks

I recently went to circus. I took a bottle of pure water with me. Though I personally don't recommend carbonated drinks I saw people rushing to buy snacks, carbonated drinks. Their major snack is popcorn of different sizes and a cup (medium,large) of carbonated drink.
I recently went to Walmart and I could see popcorn of various flavors including normal, butter, chocolate etc. I wanted to give it a try and picked normal popcorn. This box had around 10 packets of popcorn. Best part is that cost is around $3.50. Each cover will be of size of a medium popcorn box sold outside. I tried them and it worked great. Also, if you desperately need carbonated drinks during your outing you can purchase 12 can boxes in bulk which will cost you $5. This is cheaper than large soda corn which is sold at $6 outside.
So, if you plan a trip outside, and if there is no restriction on outside food try preparing fresh popcorns, soda cans in bulk which will cost you $10 for 5 of you. If you purchase the same item outside it is going to cost you
popcorn - $3.50 * 5 = $17.50
Soda Cans - $6 * 5 = $30
Total = $47.50
Savings = $47.50 - $10 = $37.50
See, how huge it looks. You can even purchase more tickets with this money. This simple trick helps us save great. Try this tip from your next outing. Always Penny Saved Is Penny Earned.

Melatonin Food Sleep Disorder Remedy

In this tough economy where our lives are uncertain , full of tension we find it very difficult to have a peaceful deep sleep during nights. Sleep disorder has become a common problem. Statistics show that adults suffer from insomania (sleep disorder) for about 20-40% of the time in a year. About 60% of the population suffer from insomania.
In recent years we see many of our friends, relatives and people close to us consuming sleeping pills on a daily basis to get sound sleep. I took some time to perform research in this arena and come up with a natural solution to all this.
The melatonin hormone regulates the sleeping pattern. For sleep to be triggered melatonin needs to be secreted in sufficient quantity. Brain secretes melatonin. So, if we have insomania problem it is relevant to brain instability (not proper functioning of brain). Here are some ways and means in which we can prevent this by consuming foods rich in melatonin.
Recently I travelled to a place in a different time zone. I started the habit of consuming walnuts, cherries on a regular basis recently. This time zone change didn't affect me this time. I was amazed to see this happen to me and did a research on the content present in walnut, cherries and how it is relevant to insomania. To my surprise I found that walnut, cherries are foods rich in melatonin. This melatonin rich foods prevented insomania problem. I advise you all to consume mealtonin rich foods to get rid of this sleeping disorder. Lets say a good bye to medicines and sleeping pills...Let our Food Be Our Best Medicine

Types of Income - Active Income Vs Passive Income

All of us need income for our survival.We can divide our income into two broad categories :
1) Active income
2) Passive income
Active income is the income that we make out of our work say full-time employment, working part-time, working on contracts, working as a consultant, from hobby etc. Active income basically involves our time.
Passive income is the money that flows in without doing anything - it doesn't demand our time.
In most of the cases it is the active income that slowly turns into passive income.
One best way where the active income metamorphs to passive income is through online business.
Yep!!!!!!!We're on track now..Again this post id related to blogging and making money online...
Build a blog, put adsense code, keep blogging, spread your content, build a good traffic, do some search engine optimization - All it takes to get started with this and bring the business to its full form(i.e .

Once the business takes its full form, you're done...You get a huge passive income out of it which you can make use of for your investments, for your travel plans, for your kids education and virtually anything you want to.

Windows 7 Tools And Their Uses

Microsoft windows 7 comes with a wide range of system tools to support various user tasks and system tasks. Whenever these utilities are invoked by typing the corresponding executable in search box, a window popsup and an icon gets pinned to tray. Here is a brief summary of various tools and their uses :
1) sdclt.exe - Backup And Restore Files. If we type sdclt.exe in search box, Backup and restore window popsup
2) dxdiag.exe - DirectX diagnostic tool. Microsoft DirectX is a set of API to support various multimedia tasks. It is especially useful in game programming. OpenGL is the open source software which has same functionality as directX. OpenGL can be used with Linux and it is free. When dxdiag.exe (or) dxdiag is typed in search box, following window popsup. A violet X icon is pinned to tray automatically

Windows 7 File Admin Privilege
I own a PC in which I’ve only one account. It is the default administrator account. I tried to perform some admin activity on files like C:WindowsSystem32Driversetchosts and c:Windowssystem32Driversetclmhhosts file. I wanted to configure certain IP’s and website addresses. I tried opening the file and I got the Access Denied message. Here are some interesting workarounds that I found to work in this case
1) Right click the hosts file. Clicked on properties tab. Click on Security tab.
2) Click on user account which needs permission. click Edit
3) This opens the security window. Change permissions. Click Apply. click OK
4) We’re finally done. We can now open the file using program we want
This is similar to Linux permissions where we change the permission using chmod +rwx command where r-read, w-write,x-execute respectively
Here is another method to do this
1) Click on start. Click on Accessories
2) Right Click on Notepad and open the file
3) Navigate to the etc file. Try opening it
This hack works on the fact that if an application executable is triggered as admin, we can run all the programs based on that application (notepad in our case) with admin privilege.

Avoid outside food fly to florida

As an attempt towards managing my personal finances, I've analysed the spending pattern using my credit card bills past 3 months. To my surprise I spent more than $450 per month on outside food. This is excluding grocery bill.
When I mean by outside food, this includes - Subway, Dunkin Donut, TacoBell, Burger King, Regional cuisine restaurants, papa johns, Chipotle, Dairy queen icecream to name a few
As a first step to improve my discipline towards spending on food, I've set a goal to go outside once in 10 days. I expect my outside food spending to be down by $90 per month from my current bill of $450. This is $360 net savings which boils down to $4320 per year. That is equal to one great vacation to florida, puerto rico with 5-star hotel stay.
Let me blog my monthly update on this every month. I've opened a savings account to save extra bugs. My journey starts this January and lets see the progress in coming days
CASE #2:
Recently I mentioned my goal on saving in outside food, avoiding outside food in every possible aspect. As a first step I wanted to stay away from outside food for 10 whole days. Today is the 9th day ever since I started this task.
So, how has life been all these days
1) Different - Ideally I prefer outside food atleast a cup of Dunkin coffee once in 2 days or 3 days. I have no reason why I opt outside food. But to get rid of stress and depression this was a real help all these days. This time ever since I have mentioned my goal, I wanted to focus on this One Thing to see if I'll be able to pull through. This helped me overcome resistance towards Dunkin I had this weekend. All I can say is life was different these 9 days
2) Saved around $50 - Me and my spouse would have gone outside to Dunkin, Tacobell, restaurant and would have ended up spending minimum of $50 if not more all these days. It was interesting to know that we were able to overcome 1/3rd of a month without outside food and this helped us save some money
3) I'm the reason behind outside food - All these days my spouse didn't even complain of eating continuously at home. I realized something that I have overlooked all these days. I'm the person too much interested in outside food and my spouse is really adjustable. Thank God. Let me make this a permanent goal if possible
4) Started using all groceries - As a person with saving attitude whenever we make grocery purchase knowingly or unknowingly we purchase a lot thinking that we save in lots( My spouse funnily calls this COSTCO ATTITUDE..TRUE INDEED). But owing to eating outside most of these groceris get stocked for years and before few months I trashed some of them. Now, I realize that groceries that I haven't touched for months are being used for our cooking. I get a feeling that is not too easy to express in words. Its like saving some dying stuff
5) Cooking Different Dishes - I've started cooking lots of dishes not only food but also sweets, savories, snacks that I haven't cooked all these days. Life looks different indeed
6) Sense of satisfaction - My family bonding is found to have improved upon completely cooking at home and this gives us real good sense of satisfaction

Is cloudflare 100% useful real review

Last week I've migrated some of my classifieds portal onto CDN (Content Delivery Network). All I can say is there has been real good improvement in speed of the websites after migrating to CDN. Last year I've tried Amazon Web Services CDN and ended up spending $4 even for unzipping tools.
Interestingly I stumbled upon cloudflare and found that this has free plan and I didn't want to waste money again. After migrating onto cloudflare all I can say is - GIVE IT A TRY FOR FREE- 100% WORTH IT
Recently I created posts on why we don't need longtailpro and can get all benefits using free tools like Keyword Planner tool from Google Adwords. Some popular posts in internet on CDN is about maxCDN a popular CDN. When I found pricing on this CDN there is a free trail. However, there is no free plan as compared to cloudflare.
Many bloggers claim to be using this. I had some doubts and did commission research in Commission Junction and found that this CDN offers best commission in market. So, all I can say is review the features and make sure you really need it before choosing CDN
As a startup with limited resources you can keep cost minimum. Particularly for online media marketing and websites major amount is spent on webhosting, tools, plugins. Go for purchase only if need be. Many bloggers promote product for commission and don't get distracted
Migrating to Cloudflare CDN Improved Sitespeed:
I've hosted more than 6 live websites with 7 websites redirecting to the relevant ones and all of them have been hosted in a single shared hosting account. As such two of my websites are heavily loaded with lots of images as we permit posting of images as part of free classified listing as well.
These websites are growing extremely well and we experience slowness while accessing all our websites. I spoke to hosting customer support team and eventually found that I have to move to dedicated server or VPS.
As such I couldn't afford to spend lots on this right now. While exploring alternate options I stumbled upon Cloudflare a free CDN.
Before few months for testing purpose I've integrated Amazon Web Services with my classified portal and migrated images, css, javascript files, plugins to AWS and assigned proper DNS servers. In less than an hour I could feel that the speed of the site grow 600 fold times and I was certainly happy. Next day I logged into dashboard and stumbled upon billing and found that even for using unzip utility I had to pay them around $1 and thought that this is a future option. Ever since then I closed CDN account with Amazon and never thought about it
Last week's incident made me think about CDN that happens to be real cheap. Surprisingly some web hosting packages do advertise cloudflare as a free feature. My business mind made me explore more and Eventually creating a free account and adding websites in Cloudflare happened to be a piece of cake.
Once dont I tested speed of my websites using tools.pingdom.com and surprisingly speed increased two fold times
I'll blog more on creating an account and adding websites to cloudflare in forth coming posts

Weblogic administrator tasks day to day

Node Manager in Weblogic Server, Weblogic Multiple domains Single Node Manager:
Node Manager is a utility in Weblogic Server.Node Manager is used to perform the following tasks in weblogic server :

1) Start the administration and managed server instances from remote location
2) Stop the administration and managed server instances from remote location
3) Restart the administration and managed server instances from remote location
Node manager is available in two forms/versions
1) Jave based
2) Script based
Node manager process is machine-specific and not associated with a weblogic domain.
Weblogic Provide User Credentials For Starting a Server:
When we create a domain, the Configuration Wizard prompts us to provide the username and password for an initial administrative user.If we create the domain in development mode,the wizard saves the username and encrypted password in a boot identity file.
A boot identity file is a text file that contains user credentials for starting and stopping an instance of WebLogic Server.
It is located at :
domain_name/servers/server_name/data/nodemanager
A WebLogic Server instance can refer to a boot identity file during its startup process. If a server instance does not find such a file, it prompts us to enter credentials.If we create a domain in production mode, or if we want to change user credentials in an existing boot identity file, we can create a new boot identity file.WebLogic Server does not support copying a boot identity file from one server root directory to another.
Creating a boot identity file for an Administration Server in Weblogic:
If you use the Configuration Wizard to create a domain in development mode, the Configuration Wizard creates an encrypted boot identity file in the security directory of the Administration Server's root directory.If a boot identity file for an Administration Server does not already exist, and if you want to bypass the prompt for username and password, create one as follows. This usually happens when we create a domain in production mode.
Follow the steps to create a boot identity file for an administrative server in weblogic:
1) Start the Administration Server at least once and provide the user credentials on the command line.During the Administration Server's initial startup process, it generates security files that must be in place before a server can use a boot identity file.
2) Place the following two lines in a text file:
username=username
password=password
The username and password values must match an existing user account in the Authentication provider for the default security realm and must belong to a role that has permission to start and stop a server.
3) Save the file.If you save the file as boot.properties and locate it in the security directory of the server's root directory, the server automatically uses this file during its subsequent startup cycles.
4) The first time you use this file to start a server, the server reads the file and then overwrites it with an encrypted version of the username and password.
Second method is the usage of java weblogic.server command in the command-line.
Usage :
java -Dweblogic.management.username=weblogic
-Dweblogic.management.password=weblogic
-Dweblogic.system.StoreBootIdentity=true
-Dweblogic.Name=myAdminServer weblogic.Server
Weblogic Server - Notifications when adding server to a cluster happens as follows : The weblogic server cluster broadcasts the availability of new instance every time a new instance is added to the cluster. Cluster-aware stubs periodically update their list of available server instances.Weblogic Server - Notifications when adding server to a cluster
