The picture resolution of digital cameras is never as good and true to life as real life observation

I don’t think it’s right when sites like YouTube happily let you build their site content with videos and then do not allow people to download the videos.

Other sites have videos that you want to watch but the video streaming is too slow to enjoy the movie so it pauses as the video gets buffered. Or you would really like to save a video that you watched online in case you lost track of it or it got removed from a server.

Well, I found a nice free solution.

It starts with knowing the URL to the flash video file. You can find this via your Browser by View -> Page Source or a similar feature. Just look for some code regarding the flash player and a URL to a .flv file, video source or similar. So you eventually have a URL like: http://.. path … video.flv

Copy and paste this to NotePad to save it.

Now you need the software to download this file instead of just playing it back in your browser.

Thanks to Jcek Pazera in deepest Poland, you can download his software that does this job for free

I used the FLV to AVI converter software but found that the option to convert from FLV to MPEG gave the best video quality.

Also, make sure you specify a directory to save your converted video to since by default, the software will be downloaded to a temporary directory and saved to there as well.

To download the online flash video, simply enter the URL of the FLV video file into the file open dialog box and press the open button. Now the download starts but takes at least as long as the video takes to play back, so be patient.

Once it is downloaded, you should notice that the software blinks and becomes alive again. Now you can press the Convert button to convert the file from FLV to MPEG and save it to the destination directory that you previously selected.

Now you can play back the video and even edit it in suitable video editing software!

In the world of PPC (Pay Per Click Affiliate Marketing), it can be a lonely life sitting behind the computer and making 5 figures monthly income or whatever. When you need a break from marketing, what do you do? Some claim to play games on a Playstation or work out in their home gym.

But surely, with animal instincts kicking in and sites like youporn.com just a mouse click away, there must be the need in the PPC super affiliate for a girlfriend to give them some love?

How about Monica? She is not a Geek babe yet, but give it time…

Monica is the presenter of Top Affiliate challenge (TAC), an internet-based TV show about making money through affiliate marketing. The interesting thing for me is that Monica just busted up with her boyfriend and is now surrounded by mostly single guys that are into making big money online.

So will Monica go for one of these guys, become a PPC geek herself or not? Or maybe she will get chatted up by one or all of the guys on a party night?

What do you think may happen? What offline chat lines would they use?

Meet Marina, possibly the sexiest geek on YouTube with over 64 million views of her educational videos. Not bad for somebody that only started about a year ago.

She is “Hot For Words” on YouTube and is a sexy teacher of the meaning of Words.

She sets homework and threatens you with detention after school if you are naughty.

You can learn a lot from sexy Marina, not only more about words but how to use sex to sell. Or you can simply jerk off, to the videos.

I wonder if any lesbians fancy her or is it just guys? Please don’t be shy and post your views in the comments.

I met Chris Barnes the 10-pin bowling champ from the USA. He was a very nice guy and my son and I engaged in a 90-strong contest to beat Chris.

He was a bit off with some bad form at the start but made up for it later with a series of strikes to get a score of 220 which placed him in 5th position.

We played the American style where the players switch sides of the alley each time they bowl.

One guy using an extreme spinning technique was very close to having a perfect game. This technique involved holding the ball in both hands and bowling it rather than using any of the finger slots.

Normally, you grip using at least 3 finger slots, but to get high spin velocity and hence hook, it is easier to remove at least your thumb from the slot. But it strains your wrist so I guess the double-hand grip fixes that problem?

Chris played amongst several people in the first 3 games and the competition was rounded off with a tournament of the best 15 amateurs.
