Hello Fellas…

img credits : a08.ngu.edu

I have another job opening to report.
This time its my own requirement. I want some writers to write for me on a regular basis. The topics can vary widely depending on the projects in hand. So if you are interested then you must have a wide outlook to be able to grasp subjects and produce kool content. Yeah the Language will be English.

Employment Type and Rates

If you are a New Delhi Resident and want to work form home then that’s the best solution for me. I need you to attend weekly meetings at my home-office and work form home at your own sweet timings. We can arrange for a monthly payment by Cheque or Account Deposit. I am willing to pay upto Rs 10,000 for a part time arrangement.

If you are away and still want to contribute then we can probably fix a similar scheme like above or we could set pay per article rates. I will offer Rs 225 for 500 words of content. Or it could be Rs 1000 for 3000 words of content.  I think thats pretty much acceptable by Indian standards.

If you don’t believe me and want a more professional approach ..then contact my Recruitment Consultants

Warning

You cannot complain if the work is repetitive in Nature. That is a similar kind of work assigned to you over and over again. We will definitely try to make things interesting for you but there is no guarantee for monotony.

Expectations

We expect you to provide quality write-ups that are original  and creative. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Language should be aimed at the internet public and totally free of grammatical errors. Any facts and figures should be properly referenced.

If you are interested then use one of the facebook /twitter/linked-in buttons to the right and contact me there. Or simple leave a comment.

Hey Programmer,

Since you are on this page I know you are a web developer.  Cheers mate. I hope you have not spent one whole night awake and skipped dinner like me when you had a deadline and Microsoft Internet Explorer acted up. Especially the God Damned IE6 which should, IMHO, be banned and all users using that browser be taxed $1000 a year as Anti-Development tax. I am not exaggerating. We waste our time and electricity on fixing code for IE6 and that should be charged on users who don’t upgrade to Firefox or Opera or Chrome.

Anyway I wanted to share with you a peculiar error on IE6. You see parts of your content duplicated for no apparent reason. If it not aligned properly or breaking orientation its understandable…but showing some characters that make the end of the content is just outrageous.  Now see this example -

a simple instance of the bug - snapshot

Notice the pink area in the footer. I have set the height of container divs and the two yellow/blue halves as same. The last three characters of my content in right half is being duplicated.  I know its like majic but who the hell likes this shitty magic?

How to recreate the bug?

How to fix this IE duplicate characters issue?

The fix is rather simple .. You got to limit the use of comments. Yeah…for some ‘God Knows Why’ reason using comments can lead to bugs in your HTML coding. From what I have read about this ..it seems IE6 has a margin buffer on right..that is if you have a box with 100px width you cannot have two boxes inside it with 50px width each.

1. You need to provide atleast 3px free space on right so that Microsoft guys might stick their thing there. (sorry for being rude)
2. Else you need to remove the comments. The comments seem to trigger the bug in most cases.

Either one of the fixes or their combination should work for you. If it does not you can curse me in the comments for wasting your time and continue your search on internet.

Hey guys, you know about my addiction to online MMORPG games. I have played Travian for some time and now I am in KoramGame – Three Kingdoms. Recently there was a very interesting development on TKO. The Ultimate Server – U1. Let me brief you about such servers and the interest of Koramgame behind it. I have some tips for non Ultimate Server players who might be facing a server merger soon.

What are Ultimate Servers?

Ultimate servers are mergers of accounts of more than two servers. We normally have servers like S1, S2, S3…S30, S31…so on. Ultimate Servers are denoted U1, U2 and the like. For instance in the first ever Ultimate Server on TKO, they merged S5, S8 and S9 to form U1. After the mergers the old servers were deleted.

Why do we need the Ultimate Servers?

Very good question. As a player, NO, we don’t need them. We were happy plundering and ruling our servers. But then again there were players and leagues ranking 2^nd and 3^rd who were being grounded by the top league and alliances. Such a situation is referred to as dead servers. Wheer the top leagues and alliance is way too much powerful and has no challenge form rest of the server. On the new server the other teams have a chance of regrouping and fighting back with help from teams of other servers in similar situation.

KoramGame has its own vested interest in creating ultimate servers.

1. Save operation costs.
   with one server U1 they now don’t have to run other three servers s5,s8,s9. No need to administer the sites and heed to player complaints.
2. More gold sale
   when the servers are dead then people stop buying gold as there is very less competition. But with merged servers people starts competing again and hence buy more gold. That is what keeps them profitable.

Some FAQs regarding Ultimate Servers?
1. Will I Hold my capital and county cities in the new server?
Yes you will. But thy will change into special cities. The recruitment Bonus and speed bonus if any will be lost. The upgrades on the armies will remain. All other conditions hold. One major point that you may not like is that … if the attacker takes the city successfully then the city will vanish. There will be additional counties and capitals to takeover in the new server.

2.what if I have one account on each server?
You retain all three of them but you have to be careful with them.

If you have other questions…feel free to comment..I will answer them gladly.
