Robots Making Pancakes.



Robots Making Pancakes.

This is a cool video of A.I in action. A.I is going to be amazing as long as it doesn't turn on us or we don't turn on it.

As long as we can make it tell the truth I guess that will help. Will take a bit to get it to speak truth about all things.

How To Make Gold In World Of Warcraft and Game Time Tokens.

These are just more random thoughts and ideas and will flit from one topic to the other.
Garrosh Hellscream.

I've been playing a bit of World of Warcraft recently. On this game across all my different characters I have about 300 days played. This is over a period of about 7 years. But saying that most of the time was racked up in the first 3 years. For example I only had about 6 days total played time on my main char for Mists of Pandaria. Although in the end I did have 6x level 90.

At the moment I have 2 Level 100s in Warlord of Draenor and also a level 97. My main is an Ally Resto Druid. The other 100 I have is a Horde Priest. My char at 97 is my mage. I actually started to level my mage before my priest but a friend in Real Life joined wow and started playing but he like horde so I ended up leveling my hordey.

Recently just gone live is the Gold for Time Feature. This should interest quite a few people. At the moment it seems to hover around 22000 gold for 30 days of time. Though this does fluctuate.

I actually have already bought 2x tokens. I paid 22600 gold each for both of them. I'm hoping you don't need active time to activate them. I know that you can buy the tokens with gold if you don't have any time but I don't know if you can activate tokens that you've already bought while you had time.

I should have enough gold for about 6 months worth of play at the moment. Also I should be able to make more gold in this time so I should be able to extend it a bit as well. I think I will prolly get bored before I spend all my gold though eventually I will work my way through it.

WorldAWarcraft.com
Buying a token to sell I think is as simple as pushing escape and opening the shop and going from there. I think u have to manually list them on the AH to sell but not totally sure. Also your guaranteed the gold that you get. So whatever it lists for is exactly what you get. So at them moment for US $20 you will get 22000 gold. Around 1200 gold a dollar.

I had about 170k just before the tokens went live. I bought a few heirlooms for gold which are also now live. So yeah I have about 120k gold left.

I've been buying bulk spirit dust in the hope that this will go up in price in the future. I did this with hypnotic dust which I paid like 1g each for and in the end I was selling for 25g each. The only thing was with hypno is that I didn't buy enough. I only had about 70-80 stacks of 20.

This time i'm prepared for the price rise. I have about 40k dusts on a few different char. Also i've been building up my spirit dust on different servers as well. Even if it goes up to like 5g thats still a huge profit considering for spirit dust i've been paying around 30 silver each dust.

Now I know the demand for spirit dust won't be as high as hypno because you don't need it for bags but there should still be a reasonable demand and a small but significant price increase as the material becomes rarer.

I suggest you invest in spirit dust as well. It's worth storing up. Don't pay anymore than 1g each for them. Just buy all the cheap stuff.

If you want to know what I made all my gold in it was Pet Trading from server to server. I maxed out about 200k before it got boring and difficult. There's plenty of gold to be made in them pets at them moment simply because there's so many of them. But it is hard work.

Battle Pets.
So yeah if you want to make some gold invest in spirit dust on a longer term basis or in the shorter term buy some battle pets and trade from server to server where the economies are different. You can buy one pet on one server for 500g sell it for 2000-3000g on another server keep doing this and eventually you'll have alot of battle pets and heaps of gold.

But yeah it is hard work but this is how to make gold in World of Warcraft. Battle Pets are my recommendation on how to make gold. Best i've done is pay 6k for one pet and then sell it for 12k so around 5500g profit after AH fees. But you can't do this often. Most of the time it's 500g here 1000g there sometimes 2000g profit. But each sale is a profit.

I just spam trade on the server with all the different pets I have for sale. All of them have a markup on them but are still undercutting whatever is on AH. I only try and sell to raise gold on a server that there is a specific bargain on.

It takes a little to know and learn the prices, but once you do it's awesome you can definitely make a profit.

A Wow Battle Pet.
I started small. There was probably a pet that cost 500g on a server that I could sell for 2000g gold on my home main server. I remember also trading a bone spider for 2x pets and then selling those pets for like 350-400g. So in the beginning I was dealing in low end pets around 200-500g and trading in these. Eventually I learned the bargains. I priced everything on what I could get for it on my main server.

This works because there are so many servers with Auction House lists of pets on them. Your guaranteed to get a bargain on at least one server.

I guess it takes a bit of time to walk your fresh newly created level one char to the AH but once your setup there's plenty of gold to be made. I suggest you create a character in either Orgrimmar or Stormwind as this is easiest to do trades in. Goto the high population servers as these tend to have more pets and more bargains then take them to lower population and sell for a higher price.

I used /trade to try and sell my pets. You could use the Auction House and potentially get more gold but you might miss the bargain that you specifically came to buy.

If your using trade and trying to sell a pet to get a specific bargain on that server and your having no luck then perhaps try changing factions and advertising on the opposite side in trade as both horde and ally auction houses are linked now. This gives you two different audiences in trade to sell your pets, to raise capital for purchases of bargains on any one specific server.

So pets is how I made 200k in World of Warcraft. I made this over about 3 months of play I think.

This has been a guide on How To Make Gold in World Of Warcraft using pets, not a very good guide but it still clues you in to what many people have been missing out on.

How to Setup Your Own Website and Start Receiving Donations

Probably the first thing you will need is an email address maybe even 2. One to have all your accounts under and another that you want to display on the web itself. You can goto www.gmail.com to get an address if you dont have one already.

The next step I guess is a paypal account. This allows people with credit cards or now visa debit cards which is an eftpos card that uses your own money not on credit that can be used online to buy things with, it allows them to give you money. My bank has only just got online with visa debit cards and I ordered my card yesterday. Not that I ever have any money. But just think a whole lot of new people all able to give you money now who couldn't before because they didn't have credit cards. Goto www.paypal.com and sign up and get a paypal account.

There is a bit of code that you obtain once you have signed upto paypal that you copy and paste. It will show a little button on your website that people click and can then give you money with there cards. The code can be found once you have an account by going to merchant services then clicking donations and just follow the wizard from there.

The next thing you'll need is the website itself. My site is powered by www.blogger.com There are various templates and colour schemes so you could have a site that looks identical to this one or one that is completely different. Using blogger is very simple. One click to post something new. There's a layout feature which is where u can arrange items like posting an image in one of the columns, or links or what ever you want there, it has full help files as well. If your more advanced than this and can code your own site then you don't really need to be reading what i've written but a free hosting site is www.110mb.com and you can code the files in basic html or upload something you've created in frontpage or some other editing software.

So basically you add a paypal button to your website and then start posting content writing articles, videos, whatever you can think of to entertain people. One of the keys i guess is getting other links from other websites. This is where I fail. Getting links is like getting a vote that your site is popular. This will lift you in search engine rankings making your content seen. Of course if you have bad content you can't expect many people to visit your site. You need content that is popular and people are searching for. An idea or two. You can't just expect people to hand over money just because you ask. You need to sell yourself and reel them in. Again I fail so i Haven't had one donation in four years. So i'm proberly the wrong person to telling you how to make a good website. This guide is really only to get you up and running.

Being social helps to get links. If your a good communicator and can talk to people then you can get links. You could visit forums, or another good way to get hits is to post your articles on reddit.com. If you can get past the filters and editors which I can't then you can gain alot of hits from a place like this.

Another way to monetize your site is with google adsense. www.google.com/adsense. Sign up for an account and you can setup ads on your website which is relevant to your content that people can click on and every click earns you a small percentage. These ads work great if you have alot of traffic but not so well if you don't.

Good luck with that. Your ideas and thought and creations that go into your website can be what catch peoples attention and cause them to give you money I guess. I haven't had one donation so i don't know.

Anyway I was inspired after I got a couple of hits asking "how to get donations".
