| | Positive aspects Of Likely On A On line casino Cruise Ship<br><br> |
|
| |
|
| <p>
| | Overstress with existence recently? Do you just want to go even for a short trip and enjoy on line casino with buddies? Well, good news to individuals who just wishes to really feel the on line casino life without travelling the long commute to states that permit gambling. This is because of the new innovation of on line casino cruise ship.<br><br> How does a [http://casinnoss.com casino] cruise ship function? The notion of the cruise ship is related to an ordinary resort you may uncover in Vegas the place they offer you casinos. Diverse video games this kind of as Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, Mini-Baccarat, and Craps are largely located as an crucial to a on line casino cruise ship. Then, they can have a extensive assortment of table video games, such as an amazing array of Large-Restrict games. The difference [http://Imageshack.us/photos/however however] that they have with the genuine casino is that they float in water. You will be playing as it is sailing. How about that for a alter?<br><br> But since most states do not allow gambling, on line casino cruise ships have to stick to specific safeguards a state could have. Most will invite attendees to come on board for a day and sail into the open up sea the place the ban for gambling is lifted, and then at the end of the working day, the cruise ship will arrive back. Then, it will be the same for the up coming working day, and the up coming working day soon after that.<br><br> Another great side about arranging on a on line casino cruise ship is their stringent policy regarding addictive gambling and age restriction. A person who is beneath 21 are not permitted their cruise vessel, as opposed to going in Las Vegas in which underage clientele may possibly perform employing faux IDs, most on line casino cruise ships will not allow passengers in without displaying evidence of their age in the form of a legitimate, government-issued photograph identification. Any passenger failing to supply satisfactory proof of age is not permitted to board the cruise. <br><br> Some also intention to show liable gaming for their passengers as some of their customers could be addicted to gambling. Patrons are provided with details regarding responsible gaming, which includes symptoms of issue gambling, contact information for companies that offer you help to dilemma gamblers, and possibilities of successful and shedding online games provided aboard the cruise ship.<br><br> But still, gambling can be addictive so be confident to put together yourself not to devote a lot. A great tips that can be presented is to not provide any of your credit rating cards and cards that you can dispense your income. Just provide a certain sum of money with you as you board the cruise ship that way even if you lose you do not have any way to hold taking part in. It is always essential to be accountable even if your purpose is to just take pleasure in and loosen up even for a working day. <br><br> The excellent aspect with heading on a on line casino cruise ship, is the wonderful knowledge you will have as you fulfill distinct individuals, get pleasure from the enjoyable dining and enjoyment whilst aboard the ship and the tranquility and calmness of the ocean breeze as you just unwind your complete day by way of. |

| Okay so last month I got a 1970 [[MG Midget]], joined the local Corvallis British Car Club,
| |
| and decided I should have a complete welding and metal working shop at home.
| |
| | |
| Gearing up mentally for SOTM in Portland tomorrow. I'd rather stay home and work on the new welding shop. I am wiring, insulating, and sheet rocking. I plan on putting metal on top of the sheet rock to stop stray sparks from setting the house on fire.
| |
| | |
| Funny, I did welding and cutting extensively in my parents' attached garage, never set anything on fire, and they never cared. Now I am very concerned and cautious.
| |
| | |
| No doubt, my shop should include the ability to use computer aided design software and CNC equipment.

| '''Server side vs client side user interfaces for web mapping'''
| |
| It's not really a matter of 'versus' rather than 'where do we draw the line?'
| |
| Some things HAVE to be on the client. Others can be implemented in either place.
| |
| | |
| For significant work such as editting and updating we still need a desktop app.
| |
| Web mapping should be used more for display and simple analysis, with a desktop app communicating with central data stores as the model for editting and advanced spatial analysis.

| === Mediawiki ===
| |
| | |
| I am currently using the stable [[Special:Version|version]] of [http://www.mediawiki.org/ Mediawiki] which is the software used for the [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia].
| |
| | |
| Reasons I like Mediawiki: It is easy to install. It is easy to customize.
| |
| It is easy to learn. It is very well supported and has a large user community.
| |
| | |
| Update. I have been using Mediawiki for over a year now. I have deployed it at work, at home, at my ISP, and for pedalwiki.ihpva.org and solarcreek,org. I like it. I use it for site management, and I document all my work in wikis now. No more lost scraps of paper or random txt files scattered all over creation.
| |
| | |
| But there are things it does not do well, so I am back looking at Drupal now for ihpva.org main page.
| |
| | |
| ==== Mediawiki extensions ====
| |
| | |
| There are maps in the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensions Wikipedia], so I should really look at the [http://meta.wikimedia.org wikimedia extensions] for GIS and maps first.
| |
| | |
| [[Gallery2]] is an image gallery that has been integrated successfully with both Drupal and Mediawiki, which makes it potentially very useful to me.
| |
| | |
| ==== Speeding up mediawiki ====
| |
| | |
| ...and slimming it down. When I had my own computer on the Internet I had no constraints. Now I either choose a slow virtual CPU at tektonic.net or a fast but CPU cycle limited server at Hostmonster.com. If I use too many cycles at Hostmonster they cut off access from the outside world for 5 minutes. VERY ugly.

| I tried to put caching onto mediawiki that will stop it from being a resource hog.
| |
| Nothing seemed to help.
| |
| | |
| Choices
| |
| | |
| Built-in mediawiki caching -- since I am getting kicked out regularly I can assume this one is not good enough for my purposes.
| |
| | |
| memcached -- cache access to database
| |
| | |
| eAccelerator (http://eaccelerator.net/) -- precompile php code
| |
| | |
| squid -- caches html accesses. I read this suggestion on a hostmonster forum.
| |
| [http://seankelly.tv/blog/blogentry.2007-03-02.4768602564 Sean Kelly] suggests that Varnish is the way to go.

| === Drupal ===
| |
| | |
| For a while I was convinced Drupal was the best CMS so I started writing this [[Beginner's guide for Drupal]]. I stopped working on it when I quit using [http://www.drupal.org Drupal]. (Which was almost immediately...) I am leaving the page here because I might revisit it at any moment.
| |
| (and that moment is NOW. [[User:Brian Wilson|Brian Wilson]] 07:03, 13 March 2006 (PST))
| |
| | |
| === Other ===
| |
| | |
| I might revisit [http://www.zope.org Zope] and [http://plone.org Plone]
| |
| instead. The only reason I am interested in plone right now is because of plonemap. The plonemap server seems to be down right now so I can't even research it. (29-Nov-2005) Later for this...

| == Google pays my phone bill. ==
| |
| | |
| If you want to talk to me, click on this button and enter your phone number
| |
| then [http://voice.google.com/ Google Voice] will phone you.
| |
| Answer the call and wait while Google Voice phones me and connects our calls together. If you call me from a land line, you won't have to pay for the call. Since Google does not charge me for the service, I don't have to pay either.

| My incoming calls '''used to'' come to me via [http://www.gizmoproject.com/ Gizmo] so I didn't have to pay for any phone line to receive calls. I used a VOIP service for outgoing calls for a year or so but find that using Google for outgoing calls works fine too.
| |
| | |
| Then a couple years ago Google bought Gizmo. As of April 1 2011, Google has shut down Gizmo. I am not very happy about this, but it was a free service so I can't complain too much.
