How to become a Starcraft 2 pro gamer?
Sep 1st
Terran, Protoss, Zerg!
Blizzard has finally released the long awaited game Starcraft 2. I’ve been playing Starcraft 1 for many years – not professionally – but still it’s like a game of chess. The good thing about most real-time strategy games is, that it never seem to get boring. Starcraft 2 is just excellent. It sports incredible good looking graphics and many game-play related enhancements.
But due to the fact that this game is rather on the complex side, it takes some time to learn all the tricks and specialties of the 3 races. Also, to be honest, I’m not really someone who masters strategies quickly. It took years for me to learn all the awesome tricks in Starcraft 1 to be able to beat my buddies. Furthermore I really like to do some research nowadays to be able to at least have a slight chance while playing on Battle.net. Especially for someone like me, as I’m not the Napoleon Bonaparte at playing real-time strategy games like Starcraft 2 online.
So I got pretty frustrated…
…and decided to search for some good written Starcraft 2 guides. After spending multiple hours of scavenging small pieces of strategy guides all over the world wide web I finally found the Shokz Starcraft 2 Mastery Guide. This awesome guide helped me to gather extensive knowledge and basic (and later on really advanced) strategy tricks quickly. But the Starcraft 2 guide not only covers strategy, it also helps you to feel at home with hot keys or other game related things!
Probably even cooler than just the guides is the fact, that Shokzguide.com has also an awesome and fun community formed by all those l33t guide owners, which helps you getting better and better with each time you play Starcraft 2.
So if you ever wondered how those people rank so insanely high on Battle.Net, this guide is the answer. You can do it too! 
Just click on the guide picture and convince yourself. You won’t regret it and if you still don’t like it you can just get your money back within a period of 60 days! Check it out, I promise you that this guide will change your stats almost immediately!

iPhone apps?
Nowadays many people own an iPhone or an iPad. Honestly they’re very neat little gadgets. Not only they look great, they offer also the possibility to do countless things.
After doing some serious research on that topic, I’ve found a nice set of howtos and instructions in an ebook to build your own apps and how to sell them efficiently on the iTunes AppStore.
This particular one is the best collection I could find after getting more and more confused by the vast amount of info on the internet.
The ebook teaches you the following things:
- How to Program in BOTH C and Objective-C
- How to work with iPhone OS, Cocoa-Touch and UIKit
- How to assemble a complete working iPhone app
- App Development Formula: Step by Step process of building an app from selecting a niche, design, planning, coding and promoting your product
Basically that’s all you need. The eBook itself has more than 300 pages and is fully packed with information. Even code snippets are there to show you how to get things started.
It’ll currently cost you $47.97 and is worth every cent. Of course you have to be motivated and take your time to work through it. Also the supplier gives you a 60 days money back guarantee. So if you tell the author of the eBook why you’re not satisfied, he’ll give you back a full refund.
So the bottom line is:
“If you want to get started fast in iPhone development check out my ebook where I show you everything you need to learn programming specifically for the iPhone. Don’t waste a lot of time on learning all the lessons the hard way – skip the hard part and go right to the finish line.”

How to conveniently take screenshots in Windows?
Aug 10th
Screenshots?
Screenshots or captures are a great way to show people how something looks like on your screen. Windows already provides a build-in way to capture your screen(s).
If you press the “Print Scrn” button on your keyboard (it’s usually right above the “Insert” key) Windows will capture your current screen and store it in the clipboard. Usually you paste it into MsPaint or directly into your favorite office application.
To capture the current active window of e.g. your webbrowser you just have to press ALT+Print Scrn and Windows will copy the image of the active window into the clipboard. So far so good.
If you have to work with screenshots on a daily basis you won’t be very happy with the Windows solution. For example I need to make screenshots of applications to prove to the developers that there’s a certain bug in their fancy new program. I started to look around for a tool which is easy and fast to handle, preferably free, lets me draw some circles or rectangles on the captured image and allows me to save the captures directly into files without the need to start mspaint.exe.
Greenshot – Tiny, incredibly powerful screen capture tool
So I stumbled upon the free, open source tool called “Greenshot”. It features an own image editor which lets you to instantly edit the screenshot you’ve just made.
If you start up Greenshot and hit the “Print Scrn” button on your keyboard your cursor will turn into a crosshair which lets you to specify the region on your monitor to be captured.
After you have done that your screen will flash and the build-in image editor opens up where you can make further changes to your capture like crop it, write text, draw rectangles, circles or arrows and even obfuscate the parts you don’t want the recipients of your screenshot to be able to read.
And still, you’re able to capture single windows, or your complete screen(s). BTW, you can even capture the output of your video player which displays the picture in overlay mode!

How to set up NX server free on your Linux box?
Jul 30th
What is the NX server?
The NX server and client application is developed by the Italian company NoMachine and provides a way to efficiently and securely access X-server based GUIs.
It compresses the X-server rendered screens and enables the client to access it via SSH. Thus making it possible to even access your remote linux server using an dial-up internet connection conveniently.
Is it expensive?
You can download and use the NX server and client for free. The free version is restricted to 2 concurrent client connections at the same time. If you need to set it up for more users you’d need to buy a license.
How do I get started?
If you use Ubuntu or Debian, you need to download the nxserver, nxnode and nxclient DEB packages and install them.
Download all 3 deb packages which suite your distribution (x86 or x64 packages are available) to your server from here:
http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
Now first install the nxclient package and then the nxnode and last but not least the nxserver. Make sure to meet the dependencies.
The packages get installed in the directory: /usr/NX/
After you installed all three packages you just have to start the nxserver by typing:
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --start
Basically you’re done now! That was easy, right?
Now it’s time to install the nxclient on your client machine and set up the connection using the wizard which appears when you start the client for the first time.
If you have any questions regarding further settings just comment on this post!
