found this one today ... really useful

if you need start more programs at once, use this simple method

[FONT=courier new]@echo off[/FONT]
 [FONT=courier new]rem Notepad[/FONT]
 [FONT=courier new]cd %windir%\system32[/FONT]
 [FONT=courier new]start notepad.exe[/FONT]
 [FONT=courier new]rem Calculator[/FONT]
 [FONT=courier new]cd %windir%\system32[/FONT]
 [FONT=courier new]start calc.exe[/FONT]
 [FONT=courier new]exit[/FONT]

save this code as start.bat and run when you want star your programs

e.g. this is my setup for 25 xtumble bots starting at once

@echo off
rem xtumble
cd C:\Users\TOSHIBA\Desktop\TUMBLBOTS\ADULT30
start xTumbleBot.exe
rem xtumble
cd C:\Users\TOSHIBA\Desktop\TUMBLBOTS\ADULT30

try to copy more things and then hold on right button or use CTRL + SHIFT + Z ... all your previous copies will be there

Another tip: Delete Windows, switch to linux, learn to use it. After some time you'll start to appreciate it and wonder why you didn't convert long time ago

This isn't really a life hack but more of a policy. Things move fast these days and everything is so accessible. In the old days (1984) if you wanted money on the weekend you had to find someone to cash a check for you. No ATMS. I wanted to start saving money so I took my atm card and put it in a cup of water and put it in the freezer. When I get the inpulse to spend I have to wait until the ice melts. This usually calms me down and I don't spend.

When someone sends you a nasty text or voicemail. Don't reply for at least 24 hours. No matter how many times they text or call or who they are don't reply for 24 hours past their last attempted communication. By then they realize how retarded they are.

If someone is really blowing up your phone with pranks or anger on a CDMA dial *71yourlocalpolicedepartment when they call back and you don't answer the police do and they get freaked out and go away..

I tend to agree because I switched to Linux Ubuntu when vista was forced on me but.. never could get scrapebox working in it.. any chance you ever did?

That is the most extreme typo of ArchLinux I've ever seen =D

Well when it comes to lifehacks I use Chakra Healing and subliminal messages to reprogram my subconscious mind for success and prosperity.

I always have a copy of Notepad++ running, and for those who dont know - There is a Clipboard History tab aviable, very nice when you forget or lose a previous 'copy'.

Edit: Just have it running minimized or whatever, N++ log everything outside of the program aswell, just wanted to make it clear

 

[tiagorossi]

1. buy a logitech g600, it will save you lots of time with shortcuts
2. learn how to use regular expressions with adobe dreamweaver or notepad++ to search/replace
3. download and learn how to use autohotkey, that one with g600 can do wonders!
4. scrapebox
5. if you use linux install virtual machines to run windows

thats it

Try to learn visual objects 2.8 and make your own bots.

 

[sire243]

I have a SEO control panel. I see the status of all my websites in one place (updates, content, backlinks, etc.) So I guess this is a IM life hack xD

It's mobile too. hehe
