BlackjackUnleashed.com domain name expired

I let my domain name blackjackunleashed.com expire because it did not generate enough money to make it worth keeping.

When I have time I will move the website to a new URL.

The Blackjack Unleashed program is hard coded with the old blackjackunleashed.com domain name on the about page so I will update the program with the new URL as soon as I can.

However, blackjackunleashed was programmed using Microsoft Visual C++ 6 (VC6). VC6 does not run on Windows Vista and I am using Windows Vista. I don't currently have access to my old computer so I don't know when I will have time to fix it.

If anyone else buys the blackjackunleashed.com domain name I am no longer associated with it.

DotCorral.com Link Popularity

I checked DotCorral.com link popularity using http://www.seocentro.com/ and got 3.

I still have no google page rank. So far I have not had time to do much except create a few links on my blog. I am still looking for ways I can market my website. So far no one has found my website as far as I know.

Fix for LG Rumor Touch YouTube video problem

A guy on a forum said it is a bug with the phone software. To fix the problem when you get "Loading 6%", press the power button to turn off the display and wait 3 seconds and press the power button again and it will load again from 0% and finish the video. After you press the power button after 3 seconds you also need to unlock the screen. This will clear the software so it can load successfully. I tested this solution and it worked 90% of time; however, sometimes it will still fail. It might help to reboot the phone sometimes too if you keep getting an error.

LG Rumor Touch plays YouTube about 5 minutes then fails

My LG Rumor Touch won't play YouTube steaming videos for longer than about 5 minutes before it fails with an error. When it fails it says "Loading 6%" and hangs and later an error message says "There is a problem playing the clip".

I never played youtube much until now so I guess this is the first I noticed the problem. If I only play short videos I would never see the problem.

- Most videos that I have problems with are about 9 to 11 minutes long.
- Videos about 5 minutes or less play normally.
- Most videos play around 4 to 6 minutes but I had one run 9 minutes before getting the error.
- Sometimes it will stop playing and shows it loading successfully and continues to play several times; however, later it still says "Loading 6%" and hangs and fails.
- I get the same problem with the youtube HQ or normal setting.
- I get the same problem if using the netfront or opera mini browser and they both run the same media player.

If it can play the first 5 minutes without a problem I don't see how this would be a network problem.

I suspect a software problem on the rumor touch. There seems to be no way I can update the media player software on the rumor touch like I can upgrade opera mini.

Also it could be that different Rumor Touch have different versions of software from the factory so it is possible that not all Rumor Touch have this problem.
