Cheapest Domains

Tag: Programming & InternetDustin @ 11:06 am

I’m always on the lookout for deals. I’ve got nearly fifty different domain names I’ve accumulated over the years. I remember how excited I was to find GoDaddy back in 2001 or so offering domain names for under $10. I’ve since switched a few times. Now my current registrar of choice is 1&1. My first experience with them was not so great. I was used to GoDaddy where updates happen fast. Due to this and their system I really screwed up a DNS entry on a domain and it took a week to sort out so I could use it. After abondoning them for a couple years I’ve gone back and found that they’ve fixed the problem. To me the savings are well worth it, especially with the number of domains I have. Plus, they offer fee privabe registration with most registrars charge extra for. Well done 1&1!

$5.99 Domain Names at 1&1 includes Free Private Registration, 1GB Email, Website Builder. No hidden fees. Free domains with hosting!

Free Sports Tickets Contest

Tag: Sports & StuffDustin @ 7:35 am

You can now go rant and rave about your favorite team and have a chance to win some tickets to their next game at GoTeamsGo Sports Forum.

Here are the details of the contest:

$300 Ticket Contest
Pick the Score and Win Tickets
We’re having a pick-the-score & pick-the-winner contest. Chat with sports fans and place your picks on football and baseball games. Also pick the Nextel Cup race winners.

$300 in Free Tickets
We’re giving away $300 in tickets. We’ve partnered with e-Tickets.us.com and TicketsNow.com for the prizes.

How to Play
1) Goto our forum for any of the NFL teams, any listed NCAA football teams, any MLB team, or the NASCAR forum.
2) Find the thread for the next upcoming game or Nextel Cup race. If it’s a game where both teams have a forum, the game prediction thread will be in the home team’s forum.
3) Post your prediction. Tell us who will win plus the exact score. For NASCAR, pick the top 2 finishers in order.
4) If your prediction is correct, come back after the game and let us know about your correct pick in the Correct Picks Thread thread.

Tiebreaker
5) If we have more than 1 person get a correct pick, we’ll pull 2 correct picker’s names at random. Name with more posts for Oct 18-23 will get 1st prize, other name will get 2nd prize. So you’re more likely to win 1st place if you chat alot with the other sports fans here at GoTeamsGo.

Contest Dates
The contest begins October 3 and ends at midnight on October 23, 2006. We’ll count posts made from Oct 18-23 in deciding 1st prize and 2nd prize between the 2 winners.

Now I’d just like to see a forum there dedicated to the Mountain West. They are talking BYU though!

Installer Problems

Tag: Programming & InternetDustin @ 8:00 am

I’ve come across a few installers that simply won’t install on my laptop (Dell Latitude D820). When I extract a zip file and double click on the executable (usually setup.exe) then I will get the following message:

---------------------------
(PATH)\SETUP.EXE
—————————
(PATH)\SETUP.EXE

The specified path does not exist.

Check the path, and then try again.
—————————
OK
—————————

It didn’t matter what path I unzipped to, I would get this error. After browsing the net for a while I found the solution:

1. Right-click on SETUP.EXE and “Create Shortcut”
2. Right-click on new “Shortcut to SETUP.EXE” and select “Properties”
3. From the Shortcut tab, click the Advanced… button
4. Select the option to “Run in separate memory space”
5. Close the properties windows and double click the shortcut and viola, it runs!

Hope this helps any other frustrated users.
