Guest post: A replacement to the university?

Hello people,

today I'm doing something which I've never done before: a guest post. Recently I've been contacted by the people of WallstreetOasis with the request of featuring one of their posts on this blog to follow up the online education post which I made in the past (if you have no idea what I'm talking about you can check it out HERE)
Well I've read their article and I thought it would be well worth sharing it with all of you so prepare for the first guest post ever on this blog:

A REPLACEMENT TO THE UNIVERSITY?

"The cost of post-secondary education is relevant to many users on this board. Those not in school are likely paying off loans or considering a graduate degree.

There have been several attempts to open elite educational institutions to the masses, most notably MITs OpenCourseWare. The problem is you can't exactly use it to qualify for a job like a degree.

Posting delay, rebirth is near...

January was one sad month for the blogger inside of me... Yes, a month full of exams isn't the best time to blog for me... As much as I wanted to, I'd have to make up the content really quick and hurried, and I just don't feel like presenting something that isn't fully worth it... That's why there's been a (long) silence. But fear not, as I just entered the last week of exams, you can expect new posts, gadgets, music, games and even more... There's even a little surprise about a side project of mine, but that's for the future...

All I can say now is: hold on a little more and don't forget to come back soon to find the content you've been waiting for!

Catch you later!

Happy New year

Hello everyone!

As you have noticed this blog has been inactive for a while now. There are some personal reasons for this but they are getting solved, so that's good.
In other news, tonight is new years eve, so I wish the best of what is to come to every blogger reading this and to all your friends and family. Make 2012 a prosperous year, have a blast and be happy!

This is madness!

 

You all know these words:

"This is madness"

"Madness?"

"This is Sparta!"

If they don't sound familiar to you either you probably haven't been on the internet for a while... This fragment was made famous by an awesome movie... Have a look for yourself to see what I mean:

Now, I didn't tell you what movie it came from, well in case you don't know, this comes from the movie 300... Now, if you think that this post will be about 300 you're correct, but it's not about the movie... It's about the number of subscribers this blog has reached!

Yes indeed I have reached the number of 300 yesterday and I couldn't think of a better way to announce this than the power of leonidas!

So there you go... 300... An awesome number which I honestly didn't really expect! Thanks to all of you who are following me, I couldn't have gotten here without the support of you guys... Really, thank you very much for reading my writings and supporting my actions!!!

Does this mean that my goal is reached? Not really, I will certainly keep going and one day I hope to gather as much as 500 followers on this blog, but until that day comes I will keep busting my ass of for you people!

Make-over in the making?

Hello everyone!

It's time for a little more serious post now, one that might completely change this blogs future... Why? Well, during the last 2 weeks I've been carefully observing the google analytics page for my blog, and made my conclusions about it...
What are those conclusions? Well, for as much as traffic goes, I get a fair amount of viewers each day, so I guess there's no complaining to that, but what does bother me is that the number of returning visitors tends to be quite low... Now I  was beginning to wonder what could be the reasons for this and what could be a possible solution for it... And I've come up with a few explanations:

How could I?

Hello people,
As you might have noticed it was quite quiet the last week... No posts or nothing... Now this would be the time for excuses,
the reason why I couldn't post because I was away on a holiday, and I simply forgot to post the message where I announced it (even though I even already made it up)... But I guess I'm back now, so there is no need to worry anymore... I am here and I am here to stay (again).
So in the mean time summer has been going on for a while now, so tell me,

How has yours been up till now? :)

See you later next time (With a decent post :p)

Q&A rahoun style

Sup people!

I've been thinking, I've been having this blog for about 3 months now, and I'm enjoying it all... I have a nice bunch of followers who comment on my posts, and some of them whom I follow myself... But well, what do we actually know about each other? and what do you know about me?
Not that much...

To domain or not to domain?

Hey people,

This post will not feature any gadgets, or movies, or games... It will be about something totally different. The thing is, I love this blog, I enjoy writing on it, I enjoy searching content to use, and I love reading your comments...
So I thought, why not go one step further in becoming a real real blog by getting a domain name... Now the problem is that I don't have that much spare money on me, so the company providing the domain name shouldn't charge too much... So I've been thinking and looking around, but there's so much choice!

What will follow?

Trying my best...

Hey people,
You might have noticed that my blogging frequency has turned down a bit... This can all be explained by one badguy... School :p Yep, exams are coming up, and I don't have as much free time as more as i used to have... But do not fear, this doesn't mean that this blog will die or anything...
I will still post updates about those gadgets, games, music.. Actually about every thing that I like to post about :p

About the thing we all love...

What up peole? Today's post is about a thing we all love... Nope, it's not cute kittens, or lazy sundays... It ain't food either... Well what is there more that every one of us loves? Blogging of course... 
Well I'm not really going to write about blogging itself... Since I've established a steady number of followers (almost 175!), I 've decided to write a little bit about my favorite followers, who I also follow and whose blogs I really enjoy reading...
