Now you see, now you don’t. It happens very frequently on webpages with “offensive“, “sensitive“, “non-government friendly” or plain stupid content. To preserve a webpage as it is, at the time you are viewing it, nothing gets more convenient than just hitting the print screen button. But if you prefer a more functional or real webpage, instead of just a plain screen capture, try these:

July 2010 Google Analytics for SheepTech

Finally, I have a chance to publish this overdue post.

Money Made

AdSense: $410.68 (+$30.26)
Infolinks: $57.88 (-$20.66)
Private ad: $33.33 (+$0)

Total: $501.89 (+$9.49)

Uptime

HostgatorUptime is as good as in June at 99.99%. Not bad at all for a $10/month shared hosting by Hostgator. RSS subscribers got a bump from ~300 to ~400, around 100 subscribers increase.

If you have used Google Chrome, you would know how simple the user interface is. Google basically only includes essentials in Chrome, eliminating all pointless element. Title bar being one of them. It serves no purpose but occupy precious screen real estate, especially for netbook users.

I would have switched to Chrome as my primary browser if not for the Firefox add-ons I cannot live without. If you are on the same boat, you would want to have a look at this Firefox add-on — Hide Caption Titlebar Plus.

Installing this little add-on will remove your Firefox’s title bar, and move the “minimize, maximize & close” buttons down. This is how my Firefox looks like without the title bar:

(If you’re wondering, I’ve tweaked other elements also in this screenshot: refer to More Room, Less Junks section)

The options are pretty extensive, allowing you to dictate which window’s title bar you want to rid, which you want to retain (e.g. pop ups).

Now we can have most screen real estate for things that matters :)

June 2010 Google Analytics for SheepTech

Despite of the lack of new content (will write more actively after I have cleared my last examination in August), SheepTech continues to grow, setting yet another new record in June with 43,468 unique visitors. That’s a 19% increase from the previous month. Alexa ranking however declined to 217,000 despite the traffic increase. Hmm?

AdSense: $380.42 (+$70.64)
Infolinks: $78.65 (+$30.83)

Uptime

HostGatorHostGator did a very good job in June, with 99.99% uptime (just 2 minutes of downtime).

RSS subscribers got a boost from ~200 to ~300, even without any new content being posted. Puzzling yet pleasing.

After getting a new look approximately a month ago, Google is further improving our user experience by rolling out a feature that allow us to select a custom background image for the homepage. Think Bing, but with you having control which image is being shown.

Photos can be selected from your computer, your own Picasa Web Album or a public gallery hosted by Picasa.
