Netflix Ireland Service Joining And Tips

Before Watching Netficks Check Your Bandwidth Caps

You can watch all the films you like on netflicks and it won’t cost you any extra , However you may have to check your bandwidth quite frequently if you have a bandwidth cap I know some Internet service provides in Ireland don’t but in my case I am stuck with eircoms lousy 30gb plan and have no option to upgrade at this moment these kinds of caps were enough some years ago but nearly everything you go to look for now seems to have a video and you may need updates for your operating system so check your allowance often. What I do is stream at a lower quality video setting easy to adjust in your netflicks account settings. There are 3 quality types to choose from you can see the quality settings in this image here

 

Watch with your Games Console

A few months ago I picked up a Wii for less than €80 in a Secondhand Electronics Shop to make use of my old Tube TV

Watch on Your Computer Mac and Windows Netflix Software

Netflicks have software for Mac and Windows I do not use either I only use linux so I have not tested them but setting them up is pretty basic the programs are not much more that a bookmark.Install the Mac or Windows Software to watch movies from netflicks with your laptop or desktop.

Before using the Netflicks App for Facebook

This App will share what you are watching on facebook so just be careful what you share I think it shares quite soon after the movie begins so you may need to login to your facebook account to make sure you have not shared that you were looking at scruffy films or your boss if you are one of the lucky 200 people in this country that still has a job and called your boss with some excuse that you were at a funeral.

 

 

Where You Can Store Large Photo Collections Online

It’s time to Ditch Your Hard Drive and USB Stick as your sole Image storage devices.You may need to go get yourself some safe online storage for your photos.Never Trust a hard drive I find that they crash quite frequently on some computer models as the get older, Many cheap laptops are using low quality hard drives that have a short warranty period and after a year or so I have USB Sticks that just will not work anymore for no reason do you want that to happen to the storage device that you have your favorite pictures stored on ? I think not ,So having a cloud backup of your photos is important if you need to keep your photos forever without risking data loss. Cloud services for storage will constantly update their services to keep your photos secure.

Before Paying For Online Storage
If you wish to Store Photo Collections Online it can be done using services like
Picassa, Flicker, Photobucket and some more photo storing sites will give you about 1gb of image storage. Dont forget that you can also store images in your email accounts gmail gives you 7gb and hotmail will allow you to store 25gb.

Keep Large Collections of Photos Safe with Cloud Storage

Imagine being able to store over 500 gb even 1 terabyte well you can it will cost you though but if you only need to store some pictures to keep them safe you can avail of the free services from mimedia which allows up to 7gb of storage for files check them out for all your photo storage needs click here to join mimedia and get 7 GB of Storage for Free

Are you worried about Storing Files Online

Many feel that leaving images and videos stored online is not safe and hackers may access your photos. If you are worried about this then goto google and search for a strong password generator and create a strong encrypted password before uploading anything to the cloud .Remember that there is very little stopping people physicialy stealing your storage devices and the chances of a hacker stealing them is much less.

Free Cloud Storage

How to Start C++ Programing in Ubuntu and Your First C++ Program

To start programming in C++ for Ubuntu you will Need a C++ compiler for Ubuntu install a C++ compiler such as Code Blocks. To Install it goto the Ubuntu software center and search for and install the package Code Blocks it will look like this in the software manager interface.

Package Manager Code BlocksNow Open the Code Blocks C++ compiler from the application Menu> Programming now you can start to compile C++ programs in Ubuntu.

Create a new Project and select console application then name it this is how you create a new project in Code Blocks your Compiler may Differ.

 

The Hello World Program
#include

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout < < “Hello world!” << endl;
return 0;
}

When the Hello World Program is ran it will output like this
Output of helloworld

Editing the Hello World Program
You can edit the Hello World Program to include more lines or other text here is an example edit of the hello world program and it’s output.

#include

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout < < “Hello world!” << endl;
cout << “Is not helping me very much” < return 0;
}
This will output like this

Edit Hello World

Edited Hello World

A Simple First Program  for Beginners in C++
This Video although using another C++ compiler has helped me greatly in understanding more about C++. But unfortunately the Video Creators Website does not seem to be online anymore as the video is from 2006 but still relevant.So I have included the Code he is compiling in the video below. Watch the Video to understand a little better

#include

using namespace std;

int main()
{
double dnumber1 = 0.0;
double dnumber2 = 0.0;
double dnumber3 = 0.0;
double daverage = 0.0;
cout< < “Enter 3 Number” < cout<< “First Number = “; cin>> dnumber1;
cout< < “Second Number = “; cin>> dnumber2;
cout< < “Thrid Number = “;cin>> dnumber3;
daverage = (dnumber1 + dnumber2 + dnumber3) / 3;
cout< < “Average of Your 3 Numbers =” << daverage <

return 0;
}
This is the Output of the Code mentioned in the VideoCreating your Own Program from this C++ Code

I have made some edits to the original code to create a simple C++ program for working out the average daily visitors to my website. I done this by altering the code a little and including some extra input here is the code I used for my website daily visitor average program. Here is the Code and Output

// my first program in C++
#include

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
double dnumber1 = 0.0; // asks for the first number
double dnumber2 = 0.0;
double dnumber3 = 0.0;
double dnumber4 = 0.0;
double dnumber5 = 0.0;
double dnumber6 = 0.0;
double dnumber7 = 0.0;
double daverage = 0.0;

cout< < “Enter The Amount of Visitors on Each Day” <cout<< “Monday visitors = “; cin>> dnumber1; // displays text monday
cout< < “Tuesday visitors = “; cin>> dnumber2;
cout< < “Wedensday visitors = “;cin>> dnumber3;
cout< < “Thursday visitors = “;cin>> dnumber4;
cout< < “Friday visitors = “;cin>> dnumber5;
cout< < “Saturday visitors = “;cin>> dnumber6;
cout< < “Sunday visitors = “;cin>> dnumber7;

daverage = (dnumber1 + dnumber2 + dnumber3 + dnumber4 + dnumber5 + dnumber6 + dnumber7) / 7;

cout< < “Average Daily Visitors =” << daverage <

return 0;
}

Can you Improve on this or do you have a website or blog with C++ Tutorials.I would like to find more sites about C++ that are not 100% geeky and require you to read through 100′s of pages of documents before you can even know that you need a compiler to create programs in C++please share any tips you may have in the comments below.
