Casino Bluebook



Playing games in your desktop computer or notebook is a good way to relax, especially if your work in an environment where stress is your middle name. There are a lot of games that you can play but I prefer to play card games as it is more fun and challenging. To make the game more exciting you can try playing online casino with real money. This way you can kill time and make some money at the same time.

There are many online casinos available on the internet. In fact the number is so big you could end up spending a whole day just trying to decide on which casino you will be playing.

The site is updated regularly and you can find the top 10 choice of online casinos on the main page.

The look of the site is probably simple but don’t underestimate the site as it has many advantages compared to other similar sites. Check out the no deposit section where you can find a list of online casinos where you can play without having to deposit a dime. The site which was established in 2000 is really good place for you to look for information on online casinos.

How to Clean Disc Drives

by: Ray Geide

When your CD or DVD (disc) drive starts giving you problems, your first thought may be to replace it or take it to the repair shop, but a good cleaning may be all it needs.

Below are three methods to clean the disc drive. The easiest method is the least effective. The hardest method is the most effective. Since the hardest method takes some time to do, I recommend that you start with the easiest method. If it solves your problems, congratulations. If not, try the next method.

The Cleaner Disc method - this, the easiest method, uses a special cleaner disc which can be purchased in computer stores. The disc usually comes with a little bottle of cleaner solution. Apply a few drops of the solution to the disc and insert it in the disc drawer (be sure to read and follow the instructions that come with the cleaner disc). The drive will turn the disc and clean the lens. Unfortunately, this only works adequately about half the time.

The Cleaning Stick method - this is what I do in desperation when the cleaner disc does not work and I don't want to disassemble the drive. Since all that is needed (at least in my mind this is true) is a little more pressure applied to the lens, I start out in search of a thin, flexible stick of some type which is at least six inches long. It should not have sharp or rough edges that would scratch the lens. Next, get a soft, thin cloth and put water or rubbing alcohol in the middle of it. Place one end of the stick under the wet part of the cloth and slide it into the opened disc drawer. The goal is to rub the wet cloth on the lens to clean it. Do not apply so much pressure that you will scratch and ruin the lens. Also try blowing into the disc drive to remove any dirt that may have accommulated in it. If you do not succeed at this, proceed to the next method.

The Disassembly method - this method should work but it requires you to disassemble the drive. So if you are not comfortable with taking the drive apart, please take it to a computer repair shop and let them do it.

Take the cover off your computer, unplug the cords from the back of the disc drive, remove any screws holding it in, and slide it out (you may need to remove the face plate on the end of the drawer to get the drive out). Remove the screws in the drive housing and take the cover off. The bottom side of the drive is a circuit board, so if that is what you see when you take the cover off, figure out how to access the other side. On the correct side, you should see a lens that runs on a track (there is no harm in moving the lens along the track but do not touch the lens itself). Use a wet, soft cloth to clean the lens.

Sometimes a disc drive malfunctions because there is too much dust or debris in it, so be sure to clean out the inside with either compressed air, a soft cloth, or a cotton swab. Reassemble the disc drive, put it back in the computer case, and cross your fingers. Hopefully, it will work when you turn on the computer.

If these methods work, you just saved yourself some money. If not, you needed a better disc drive anyway.

Drug Rehab Centre

A study in overdoses cases in New York has shown an interesting fact. Before the 1980s most accidental fatal drug overdoses were the result of the use of drugs such as opiates, benzodiazepines, other sedatives, and ethanol. These cases followed with the number attributed to antidepressants increasing gradually over time. Since the 1980s it was apparent that the number of accidental fatal drug overdoses due to cocaine in a number of large cities in the United States has dramatically increased. With this vastly increasing number of people who are addicted with drugs, the role of a good drug rehab center is really important.

DrugRehab.net provides a drug treatment program called NARCONON® which can be used for any kind of drugs addiction. With the help of the program many addicts have been successfully graduated from the program. As stated on the site that a 76% from its graduates have stayed clean and have been a good member of the society ever since graduating from the program. DrugRehab.net also gives guarantee if after 6 months of graduating for the program the person relapses then the readmission of the person will be free of charge. The success of the program is based on 4-phase approach to fully rehabilitate a person which includes Sauna Based Drug-Free Detox Program, Special Educational Therapies, Additional Educational Therapies, and Follow-Up Program. Each of these phases is tested over time to decide whether a person is ready to go on to the next phase.

A good drug treatment center is not always about the program. But also provides many useful resources regarding addiction. DrugRehab.net provides many good sections such as addiction explained, causes of relapses, drug information, scientific research and family consultation. If you have any member of your family who you suspect to be an addict then you should contact DrugRehab.net immediately to find the right solution before it's too late.

Tantra is Free

Hey have heard the news that Tantra can be played freely? Yup I am just as surprised as you are right now. For almost three months since January I haven't played Tantra again because each time I log in to my account, there was this message saying that I have to buy play time point. Since in Denpasar there are no distributors for the voucher I decided to take a rest from Tantra.

But since a friend of mine told me that you can play Tantra without the voucher, my affection to Tantra begin to bloom again. I tried to login to my account yesterday and yes I can play without the voucher. So once again I am a Tantra lover and in case you haven't heard of the news yet just try to login to you your account. You should be able to play it freely. Cheers!

Visiting Australia



One of the most visited tourist destination on the southern part of the world beside Indonesia is Australia. If you look into a globe you will find Australia on the bottom part of the globe. That is why the country often referred to as "the world down under". This country is really big, so big that it is announced as a continent. If you ever need a destination for your holiday, Australia should be your top priorities.

There are some big cities in Australia that you should visit while you were there. The four main big cities are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Sydney is Australia's most populous city. For leisure you can visit many historical museums such as the Australian Museum, Powerhouse Museum, Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of Contemporary Art and the Australian National Maritime Museum. Sydney has been the number one visited city in Australia and because of that finding a good accommodation is quite hard in the peak season. One thing that you should consider is renting serviced apartments. This option is better if you look on the amount of money you should pay compare to hotels. Having your own apartment means independence. Some of the apartments also offer bigger space for a big family and have self catering facilities. Visit CheaperThanHotels to get your Sydney accommodation.

On the site you can find the best and most affordable serviced apartments not only in Sydney. The site also provides information on Melbourne accommodation, Brisbane accommodation and Perth accommodation. Instead of renting a room in hotels which will cost you a fortune, serviced apartments offer you lots of advantages. There is no harm in trying, isn't?

ROSE Online

I just found out about this new online game. It is called Rose Online. The main story of Rose Online is about the jealousy of the God Hebarn against the love power of the Goddess Arua. The strength of her love can create seven mystical worlds which have their own uniqueness. Those planets then called "Planet of Seven Hearts". The seven planets were lighted by stars which filled the dark sea with the light of hope at The Sea of Spirit. God Hebarn was really upset with the beauty of planets created by Goddess Arua. He then vowed to take over all planets by any means. Goddess Arua then created visitors to protect those planets. They were then scattered all over the world to bring peace and defeat the evil God Hebarn.

The game was brought to Indonesia from Korea by Serenity which is a new player in online games especially in Indonesia. Although the server in Korea has been closed, the developer is convinced that the game would be accepted in Indonesia. You can see some of the wallpapers and screen shots at the official web site.

Life Without the Internet

By Greg Greenamyer

If you have ever wondered if the consumer shift to the internet is really as big as all the marketers want you to believe, try going without internet access for a few days. Due to a glitch my cable provider experienced on Thanksgiving Day I was without cable for 5 days.

You would think because it was a holiday weekend and I really wasn’t supposed to work anyway, this would be no big deal, wrong! I live on the internet every day for work purposes, even at that I was amazed at how much personal stuff my wife and I do online.

It started Thursday evening when my daughter called to tell us she had sent an e-mail with pictures of our granddaughters dressed up for Thanksgiving dinner. Couldn’t check the e-mail without a cable connection. The same went for all of the other personal e-mails we received over the weekend and could not access until Monday night.

I’m also a huge fan of online bill paying. I pay all of my bills online with the exception of one that I have to pay over the telephone. I haven’t ordered checks from my bank in probably two years. Couldn’t pay bills on Friday like I had planned without an internet connection.

So we’re into Friday, I can’t get much work done without the internet, I can’t pay bills as I was planning and no e-mail correspondence. On top of this my wife has the weekend off work so she capitalizes on the situation and puts me to work around the house. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind helping but she had an unfair advantage and milked it for all it was worth.

Next we decide to go to the movies, the problem is, we always use the internet to see what movies are on, where they are playing and what time they start. Couldn’t do that! I had to go out and buy a newspaper to find the information. I honestly can’t remember the last time I did this; it’s so much easier to click the mouse a few times and have all the information right in front of you.

My wife had also planned to do some Christmas shopping online over the weekend, that didn’t happen either. Fortunately she does not like going to malls and fighting the crowds so that was put on hold.

Finally on Monday evening I saw the cable light on my modem turn back on, service was restored! Although I’m still waiting for a technician to come and verify all is well, for now I’m back online.

The bottom line is; If you have ever wondered if the consumer shift to the internet is really as big as all the marketers want you to believe, try going without internet access for a few days and see how it affects your daily life!

Savings Accounts

For most people online savings accounts are more preferable than the traditional way of banking. Why? Because you can save queuing time, you don't need to be afraid of being rob, and online banking never sleeps. For people who like to travel a lot carrying much cash with you is not safe. By using online savings you can access your account anywhere in the world and do your business directly through the site.

Now speaking of online savings, WaMu is the best choice you should choose. It has many services available for you through out the world such as online savings, statement savings, traditional CD, online CD and liquid CD. For online savings you can start opening your account with just $1 and the application would only take seven minutes of your time. For both online and statement savings you can waive the monthly fee of $4 if you maintain a minimum balance of $300 in your account. If you are a committed savers you can opt to open traditional CD with as little as $1000 or if you are under 18 you can start with $100. Certificate of Deposit is for a short or medium term of investment with higher interest rate than liquid savings. But remember early withdrawal means penalty, so be committed or don't choose this investment. You might also want to check liquid CD and online CD to get the best investment for you.

So having traditional savings accounts is not bad, but having it online is another thing. Imagine that you can access your accounts anywhere and anytime without ever have to stand in line. Those are the great benefits of online banking.

The true value of a web hosting provider lies within the fulfillment of your actual web host requirements. You must first understand your basic web hosting needs with regard to your website. Based on your requirement, you can judge the importance of a web hosting provider who should be useful to your specific needs rather than being generally compatible to all web masters. In short, the true value of a web hosting provider can be seen when the web hosting provider is able to fulfill all specific needs of the concerned owner of the website. Now, picture the following situations before you actually acquire a web hosting provider for your website.

1) Getting tempted towards a cheap web hosting plan:
These days, you are bombarded with all sorts of advertisement which promise to offer web hosting solutions at cheap price. However, if you fall for the price trap, you may end up experiencing your website to be running slow. Since you have opted for a cheap web hosting service, you may be also denied service due limited bandwidth.

2) Consequences of not clearly defining your actual requirements:
Every webmaster should have a clear idea of what he or she would like to install with regard to scripts. If the webmaster does not have a clear idea of the required facility before selecting a web hosting plan, he can fall into trouble. Example: Suppose a webmaster has selected a web hosting service without understanding the resources that the concerned web hosting provider offers. Now, he wants to change his static HTML pages to dynamic. But he is held up because he realizes that his web hosting provider does not provide the facility of changing the present script. In short, the host servers are not compatible with the scripts. In such a situation, a web master will loose months of work.

3) Managing several websites through one account:
The idea of putting all eggs in one basket is not acceptable. In other words, you must never try to manage several websites through just one account. If your web host is down due to some reason, you will notice that all your websites will simultaneously go down and in the bargain you will loose hours on work time. The best option is to split your account across 2 or more physical servers. So, get in touch with your web hosting provider and ask him whether he can provide you with two or several accounts, so that if one fails, you can yet continue to maintain your daily work schedule, through the second account.

3) Taking testimonials for granted :
Many web hosting providers put forward testimonials in front of you, in order to convince you about how good they are as a web hosting provider. If you take testimonials at face value, you are likely to be tricked by web hosts. Hence, the only best way of gauging the true value of a service provider is by getting in touch with other webmasters and then talking to their customers.
Try to collect some customer names of their website and ask the web host to allow you to contact any of his customers. If for any reason, the web host provider does not allow you to contact his customers; you must then be aware and be alert about using his web hosting services.

Xbox 360 - Gaming Redefined

The concept of xbox 360 was conceived by Microsoft in early 2003 and conceptualized in co-operation with IBM, ATI and SIS. This is a second video game console and the system allows the players to download Arcade games, demos, trailers, TV shows and movies.

The system was launched in Nov 2005 in three major regions - Europe, Japan and USA. The demand was stupendous and was sold out completely within a short span of its release. The gaming console competes with Sony Playstation 3 and Nintendo`s WII as part of seventh generation video game console.

There are three versions of Xbox 360: Arcade, Premium and Elite. Each version is backed by its own set of features, accessories and technology like wireless controller, re-chargable battery case, snazzy face plates incase the standard plain surface becomes too boring. Generally all three include hybrid, composite and component cable, a detachable 20GB hard disc drive which comes with game demos, video clips, and a free Live Arcade game.

Initially it started with the code name Xenon motherboard and subsequently re-engineered to Zephyr.The latest upgradation is a Falcon motherboard with an improved GPU heat sink. Right now the production unit is working on the next hardware refresh - GPU + CPU on the same BGA package.

The Xbox live arcade is a service that offers much more than simply downloading video games! The console actually throws up new original games, such as Assault Heroes other than the previous ones like MS Pac-Man.The Xbox video market place is an exclusive video store which can be assessed through the console. It allows the users to view HD TV Shows and Movies.The system also supports audio playback where the users may play back their own music with an interactive visual synthesizer. Pictures and slideshows can also be displayed with various transition effects by this system. These features make the Xbox a favorite of adults too along with the kids!

It is also interesting to note in this context that for a new game designer it is highly recommended that you download XNA Game Studio Express; it is an exclusive game which has been designed for easy creation of games for both Xbox 360 and windows. For developing Xbox 360 game you have to subscribe to the Creators Club apart from having Xbox 360 which has a hard drive.

In UK, the gaming console has been enabled to display BT vision, video content.The lastest video game Burnout 3 is available and till date Halo 3 is Xbox`s latest best selling game.

Xbox 360 was launched to capture the market before the arrival of Sony Playstation 3. This premature market entry had left some flaws in the hardware system undetected thereby earning itself negative publicity. However, newer designs have been introduced, and Microsoft has installed new heat sink to reduce overheating which ensures that the game console unit will last many years. Technically speaking, keeping the gaming system cool may lead to a longer lifespan of the gadget. Along with this, Microsoft has also extended the warranty period to three years in the Xbox gaming console.

Loss Of Income

I have noticed lately that our income per day has dropped a little bit. I checked the history and it turned out that the number of people who came to our internet cafe also decreased. To be more specific, from those number it was people who use internet that has decreased. I don't know what the reason. But I have a couple of suggestions:

  • The high school students are going to have a try out for their final examination. Thus there aren't many of them here at the internet cafe. Why? They should be studying of course!
  • The undergraduate students are going to have their midterm, so they also have to study at home.
  • The is another alternative to have an internet connection such as Telkom Flash. This internet connection is really fast and affordable for the people who have a 3G mobile phone.
  • Maybe people are tired of using social sites such as Friendster, FaceBook, MySpace. A large part of our customers came to the internet cafe to use these kind of social sites. Probably they had enough and decided to rest a little while.
Well, that maybe all the probable cause that I can think of. Hopefully they will be back soon, so my internet cafe will get more customers as usual.

Changing Server

Today we changed the online game server. There former server used Dual Core processor with 1.6 Ghz clock speed, with 80 GB of hard drive. That was really a bit fancy for just running Microtik software. The basic job of the server is just as a gateway server meaning it is in charge of bandwith distribution. Bandwith distribution is really important to ensure that all computer can connect at the same time, and no single computer eats up all the bandwith leaving others nothing to use.

The new server is a Pentium III server with the clock speed of only 633 Mhz. The internet service provider (ISP) said that it is enough to run Microtik. Of course the newly bought server is not new, in fact it is a used one. Actually I haven't bought it yet, I just borrow it for a week to give it a try. The problem with used computer is that you can not be sure of what you will find inside. You could end up with a computer which can only be use for one or two days. So I told the seller to give it to me for a tryout. The server has already installed now, but I still keep the old one. In case of any emergency we can always switch back the old server. The new server will on for the whole week. Let's see its reliability. Hopefully it won't disappoint me.

Problem with Connection

This morning people who play Seal Online could still connect, but from 7 am the connection to the server was closed. All of the players were complaining to us as there was nothing we can do about it. The internet connection was fine, this can be proved using the ping command to the DNS. The reply was quick, around 30 ms. So it was not the internet connection. We tried to the site, but there was nothing that could give us a clue of what was going on. We suspected that there was maintenance on the server. This was soon proven wrong as all the players told me that there was no update to download. Up to this point we were desperate to find out what the problem was. The answer was given to us by the site around four hours later. There was a power cut at the update server so obviously no one could connect as the server was down. Knowing this made us easier to deal with the anxious players. As soon as we told them about the problem, they understood. Some of them stayed there and wait, hoping the server would go up and running again as soon as possible. A word of advice for the provider, they should have prepared for this. The could provide a backup power source at least or maybe have a backup server not in the same building. Going down like that could make some of the players feel angry and could even ended up leaving the game for good.

Nyepi Day

Friday, March 7th 2008 is a public holiday here in Bali as Hindus of Bali celebrate their new year or Nyepi day. Unlike any new year's day, Nyepi day is celebrated with silence, fasting and meditation. From 6.am until 6.am in the next morning, people of Bali will stay home and self-reflect. To help them have the right environment to self-meditate, people of Bali have four main restrictions to be carried out in Nyepi Day. These restrictions include no lighting fires (all lights must be kept low), no working, no entertainment and pleasure, and for some of the people who are really committed: no talking or eating at all.

Nyepi is not only for Hindu, non-Hindu residents also participate in this day of silence as well. This is done to show their respect for their fellow citizens. This restrictions also include tourists. They can still do whatever they want inside the hotel, but they are not allowed to go near beaches or streets, even the airport is closed the entire day. The effect of the Nyepi Day makes the busy and crowded streets and roads in Bali empty, there is no noise from radio or TVs, even inside the home there can be seen little activity. That is why Nyepi Day is also a mean for us to help fight global warming. A day of silence can be experimented all across the world.

To show our participation in this Nyepi Day, Suns.NET will be closed at 3 pm on the 6th of March, the entire day on 7th of March, and will be open as usual on 9 am the day after. For all Hindus we wish you a peaceful Nyepi Day, may this day bring joy and harmony to all human kind.

Telkom Flash

PT. Telkomsel as Indonesia's largest telecommunication firm has launched a new internet connection called Telkom Flash. This connection uses the latest Wireless Broadband Technology or known as 3G. Anyone who has a 3G mobile phone can connect to the internet using this service. You just simply plug in your mobile phone to the computer using the data cable provided. I have tried this using my Nokia 6280 and it worked as a charm. You must first install the Nokia PC Suite. As soon as you connect your mobile it will detect the USB modem from your mobile. A few steps needed to set up your modem. For more information on how to set up the modem for Nokia and other brands you can click here.

I have tried twice to connect to the internet using my mobile phone. Last night when I was connected I got 420.6 kbps, but just now I only got 116.2 kbps. So I think the bandwith you get is really depends on how many users are connected to the same Base Transceiver Station (BTS). To open a page with that kind of bandwith is heaven as the page will load in only 1 or two seconds. But the download speed is the same as ADSL broadband connection or even less. Usually using the ADSL connection, if I download a file from rapidshare with 100 megabytes in size it took 45 - 60 minutes. Yesterday when I tested the Telkom Flash connection to download a 69 megabytes file, it took 60 - 75 minutes. Using 3G connection you suppose to get up until 4 mbps of bandwith. So the connection is not really good for downloading files.

Telkom has offered two types of payment method, volume based and time based. If you are using a pre-paid Telkomsel such Simpati or AS then you will be able to use the volume based. You can choose to pay as you go with the rate IDS 350 per minutes, a 3 hours package for IDR 30,000 or a 24 hours package for IDR 100,000. You can find all the details for packages offered here. If you uses a post-paid Telkomsel SIM card such as HALO you can use the time based method. One thing that you must do before you can use the connection is to subscribe by sending a text message "flash" to 3636.

In conclusion, this internet connection service really useful for people who are mobile and in need of a fast internet connection anywhere they go. All that you need is a computer or laptop and a 3G mobile phone. You have to really think though for the best package you want to use.

The Internet Is Back On!

Thank god the internet connection is back on. After a full day black out yesterday, we finally be able to access international link from 2 AM this morning. The cut off was due to a fly-over construction at Palembang. The fiber optic cable under the sea was somehow broken and PT. Telkom Indonesia has done everything that was in their power to fix the problem. And we are really grateful for that as of this morning the internet connection is alive and kicking.

Something that I learned from this is that we really need to have a backup connection in case something like this happens again. But the cost of having a backup connection is really expensive. For instance I have tried to call our IIX provider and ask for a temporary international connection. The cost for 128 Kbps bandwith up to 256 Kbps is IDR 350,000 per day. The cost is a lot more expensive than the current one. Thankfully that the internet connection is back on so we don't need the backup plan.

Internet Connection Down

The internet connection has been downed from 7 AM. The customer service of our ISP said "Please reboot your modem. If that won't fix it, then try to restart your computer." Then I said, "I have tried both and still it won't connect. I can only access the local link, but the international link is dead." Only then she replied, "Yes sir, there is a problem with the international connection. Can we ask for your number? We will call back after its back on." My god, who is she trying to fool here. I know the connection is down when it is down. I don't need that kind of explaining, I'm only interested in when the connection is back on. Is it really that hard to answer? It is surely not so hard if you really want to answer.

According to Detik.com, the international connection is broken because the fiber optic connection is Sumatera is cut off. How can this happen? It is because there is a fly-over construction in Palembang which cut off the fiber optic. Some important sites such as Google and Yahoo can't be accessed since. There are only few local sites which can be accessed such as Detik, Jawapos, Kompas.

It is supposed that the internet connection will be back on in three hours. It will be redirected using a different link so the international link will be available again. Let's just hope this problem will be fixed very soon for the sake of our Suns.NETter.

Tantra Extreme


Good news for Tantra lovers. The server for Tantra Extreme and Tantra Extreme Ultimate is up and running. Before there was a problem when you make a new account. It always said that we entered the wrong id or the password was incorrect. This problem now has been fixed. So if you want to try to make a new account click here. There won't be any problem logging in. You can start playing the game right after you finish signing up. I have tried to sign up again and already tried to login.

Tantra Extreme and Tantra Extreme Ultimate uses an international server. I don't know the exact location but because this is an international server you have to use international internet connection. This means that players with IIX connection only can't play this game. Try to use dial-up connection, or if you have a broadband internet at home it will be better. The game itself is the same as Tantra. I haven't managed to explore more about the game. The difference is that you can play against player from all over the world making this game a more interesting game to play. Hurry up and sign up with Tantra Extreme as the Tantra world needs your help!

It's Really Hot

For all Suns.NEtter, I would like to apologize because your surfing is a bit uncomfortable due to the hot air you feel inside the internet cafe. Although we have installed air conditioning system, it seems that the cool air produces by the AC can not be distributed evenly through out the room. The room is 4*12 meters, I think putting only one AC is not enough thus from booth number 5 onwards you will feel a bit hot. But don't worry we already called the AC mechanic and have it cleaned on the afternoon. Hopefully it will restore a little coolness inside. If that is not enough then we will turn on the fan to bring you some fresh air.
