Do you know that you can breathe life into your W210s again, for free? Try this out on your car now to give it a shot.

1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” (not start) position
2. Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold for five seconds
3. Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position (do not remove the key), then release the gas pedal
4. Wait for at least two minutes for your ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to reset

After you have performed the above, start your car and drive around for a bit. You will notice any or all of the following:

• Less effort need to get your car on the move (extra power)
• Smoother upshift and downshift
• Better fuel consumption

How is that possible? The above procedure resets or erases the ECU’s memory on the adaptive transmission and throttle settings. When you drive over a period of time, your car remembers your driving style and adapts to it. When you perform the reset procedures, that’s akin to breathing new life to it.

Have a go and let me know if this works for you.

I’m going to be honest with you. I’m a coffee drinker and a coffee addict if you must. My brain engines will not chug along well if without the coffee fuel. I drink at least 3 cups of coffee a day and each cup is as big as my mug. If coffee is not available, I’ll settle for matcha green tea. Somehow, I found that green tea packs a punch too but is of lower intensity compared to coffee.

As an employee and travel consultant, I need to remain alert and focus at all time because I deal and fulfill customer requirements (some of these requirements can be weird). To do so, I rely on mostly drinks; as I mentioned before, coffee, green tea and English tea (in that order).

Since I’m drinking quite a bit of coffee, I’m starting to get worried about the health threats that it might pose. I’ve read about caffeine, magnesium deficiency, stiffening of arteries, etc. But yet, I need coffee to keep me focused on the job. I think I need to substitute coffee with some other beverages or maybe change my method of achieving focus.

How do you keep yourself alert and focus? Share with me.

Dear Webmasters,

A new month has come and a new code is hence give. August 2007’s Namecheap code is NEWSWORTHY. As usual, this code knocks off $0.89 from the normal $8.88 domain registration. I’ve tested this code and it works.

Well, surprise.. surprise.. I’ve got another code for you this month. This code will knock off $0.93 off new domain registrations instead of the above $0.89. It’s INTERFACE. According to Namecheap, this code is a customer incentive promotion where the coupon is to be offered by Namecheap’s client to their clients. I’m not sure how long this code will last but I sure hope it will last forever.

Both these codes do not reduce the fees for domain renewals. If you have a large quantity of domains registered on Namecheap, send them a request for a special renewal code and Namecheap might just oblige. Lots of savings there..
