How to Make Custom iPhone Ringtones for Free | eHow.com

I found this a while ago, but thought I should share it with the world.  I personally think it’s unheard of for iTunes to charge you the same for 40 seconds of a song and the whole song.  It’s a total rip-off.  I’m not gonna spend a buck to buy a song and then spend another buck just to have them format it for me so I can use it on my iPhone.  So, anyways, here’s how you can do it yourself:

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

* iPhone

* iTunes

* Mac or Windows Computer

How to move a site from one server to another using cPanel and WHM

First thing you have to do is create the backup/restore file in cPanel on your old server.  This is very simple.

You just need to log in to your cPanel, click on Backups and click on Generate/Download a Full Backup. You can choose a backup destination, for the purpose of this example, I’m just going to leave the default and save it to the Home Directory. You can save it to a remote FTP if you want, but that sometimes creates difficulties and I find it easiest to do everything as its own separate step. You fill out the email field with your email address as it’ll send you an email once it’s done (depending on the size of the site, it can take a long time). Then just hit Generate Backup.

Apple should buy Yahoo

Well, the title pretty much says it all. With all this talk of Yahoo going down in flames and Microsoft wanting to buy it and Google wanting to share their ads, something needs to be done with this site. And Steve Jobs is the man to do it. Imagine what Apple could do with an established site like that and a big jump forward in the search engine game by grabbing all their technology, users and algorithm (which needs work).

Using a variable for your MySQL database

So, I’m working on a site making a bunch of changes.  I need to change the name of a database and well, to make a long story short, it’s called by name throughout all the files.  So I thought I’d do a quick post on how to use a variable name in place of the MySQL database name.  I had to figure it out myself, and had a hard time finding anywhere how to do it, although it’s not that difficult.
