How To Remove Tree Sap From your Car Paint

Tree Sap is annoying! It won’t come off with the usual Tar & Bug Remover.

Step 1. Grab a Rag or a micro fibre cloth.

Step 2. Get Some of your sisters nail polisher remover.

Step 3. Put some on the cloth and be very careful rubbing the sap off, it should come off very quickly, don’t use to much or you’ll start to remove some of your paint on the car as well.

Step 4. Complete. Your car is as good as new.

What is the difference between Facebook and Twitter?

Nearly every day someone asks me why is twitter better, or why get twitter when facebook does the same thing?

In a quick overview, twitter is simply facebook status’s but with a more public view and live photo streaming.

 

Side By side comparison:

Facebook: Requires two-way verification for full sharing between two people. If someone doesn’t accept your friend request, you most likely can’t see what they are up to, because most people stick with default strong privacy settings. Facebook is more for your tight circle of friends where you can share events such as birthday parties and share pictures of them and yourself.

Twitter: You can follow just about anyone you want, Obama, Kevin Rudd, major celebrities and your friends. Just click follow and you see a real news feed from everyone your following.

Tags & Replies:

Facebook: Facebook doesn’t have tags, only replies, and these replies aren’t seen unless you visit the repliee’s wall.

Twitter: You can use tags such as #event which is sort of like a reference of where you are or what your doing. People can search for the tag and see everyone else tagging the same thing. For Eg. Your at a conference, search #conference and you can see all the other tweeters bagging the speaker out and discussing it further. To reply to someone just write @name at the start of your message to reply to someone’s tweet.

Photos:

Facebook: Can share photos and tag people in them and create albums of specific events. Not as “live” as twitter.

Twitter: Live Photo tweeting. At a cool place, or skating in the park, take a photo on your phone, and tweet it and everyone can see it live as it comes through on their feed.

How To Tell The True Size Of Your USB Drive – Fake Memory Tester

By Ardorpes  //  Ebay  //  No Comments

There’s a lot of fake memory floating around the web at the moment, including big sized usb drives that appear to have say 32GB of memory, but have been “hacked.” When filled up to 4GB the rest of the files become corrupt. This is the same with mp3 players and other flash memory.

If you have purchased one of these drives on ebay or paid through paypal you can generally get your money back if you file a complaint with paypal saying wrong product received etc..

To view my ebay guide on usb drives please visit here.

To check the true memory size please use the following utility. This program writes data to the drive, then reads it back to show the true size of the drive.

Man Or Women? Who is writing that blog?

By Ardorpes  //  General, WEB 2.0  //  No Comments

This site, Gender Analyzer, looks at the content of your site and tells you if it thinks a male or female has written it.

Mine says, “We think http://www.ardorpes.com is written by a man (81%).”

I must be doing something right, maybe my grammar and poor spelling is what gave it away??
