You know what AuctionAds is, the Ebay feed thingy that Jeremy Shoemaker built and sold.

Well, if you have tried it you most certainly found out that it is not a very good product. While if you have a site that is based on a niche product it may be an income producer but short of that it is almost worthless.

But the one thing it had going for it was the ease of use and its founder who was constantly trumpeting its value.

Enter the MediaWhiz buyout. Since then things have gone from bad to worse for the technical side of things. Then this morning I was checking Jeremy’s blog when I realized that even he does not run AuctionAds anymore! I don’t know if the technical problems were to much for him or the awful returns but he went back to running Adsense of all things! (check out the ads google is serving. Even ads for Alden shoes are better than Auction Ads)

To all those who stuck with this product in the hopes of the “snowball effect” there it is. His bankroll snowballed on the back of your publishing.

Firefox can be configured to dump its ram usage every time you minimize the main FireFox window. To do that you need to follow these directions

open a new tab, in the URL bar, type in

about:config ( and then press enter)

Right click in the window and create a New–> Boolean ,

name this new Boolean “config.trim_on_minimize”

and set its value to “true”.

restart firefox, open a bunch of tabs and watch the memory usage start to climb.

then using the minimize button in the top right of the screen, minimize FF and watch the memory usage fall to about 5mb.

After this the memory usage of FF will slowly start to climb again as it starts to fill its cache again. But its a quick and easy way to bring FF mem usage down to size.
