Welcome to my blog!

Hello,

Ya, Well here is my blog thing. One day i just felt like trying something new so i decided to make a page where i can post links to cool stuff that i see, or funny things or whatever i want.

Well i guess here is the thing that i have started getting into right now.
www.surfjunky.com is a website that pays you to leave a web browser open displaying advertisements which rotate every 30 seconds. You begin by getting paid $0.45 an hour, which isn't very much at all but it does add up. What the website is supposed to do is popup the browser every 30 seconds to make sure that you see it, but one website has created a little hack to change this a bit. All you have to do is sign up for the website (here is my referral link, thanks if you use it :D, if not the direct link is above ) http://www.surfjunky.com/?r=cgrossi.
Now, if you dont have firefox, get it here.
After you have firefox installed you must download a little extension for it called User Agent Switcher which makes Surfjunky think that you are using IE (SurfJunky does not allow browsing with firefox).
Restart Firefox.
Download a wrapper called Splats which will make the rest of this easier by refreshing pages, and fixing timeout errors automatically for you. Now all you have to do is login to SJ and go to Tools> User Agent Switcher> Then click on Internet Explorer 6, then open up the Splat wrapper from wherever you downloaded it to and just let it surf while you make money!
If you need any more help go to I-Hacked, they have all the help you could want there plus an IRC channel set up at #surf-hack on EFnet.

Well thats it, lets just hope this stays up for a while...

It seems like SurfJunky has caught on to this little trick, and they are now deleting accounts which were doing this (mines gone :( ). So i guess if you still want to do this your going to have to do it legit, that is if they still even pay you for that....
