Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator for WordPress

This plugin generates a XML-Sitemap compliant sitemap of your WordPress blog. This format is supported by Ask.com, Google, YAHOO and MSN Search.

More information what XML-Sitemaps are and how they can help you to get indexed by the major search engines can be found at Sitemaps.org and the searchenginewatch blog.

If you have questions about XML-Sitemaps or run into problems, have a look at my Sitemaps FAQ.

Note: The XML-Sitemap format was introduced in 2005 by Google and adopted in 2006 by YAHOO, MSN Search and Ask.com so thats why it’s often called “Google Sitemaps”.

MSI Stirling Engine

MSI came up with with very good invention in my opinion. As we all know – every CPU cooler has a fan, a fan which needs additional power supply, which means more power, which means ( if the fan is really shitty ) more temperature. So why not use the CPU temperature to simply give the fan a power supply?

The MSI explain it like this:

When the air in a bellows atop the motherboard becomes hot, it will expand, pushing a piston and rotating a fan. In doing so, the fan cool’s the heatsink immediately. The hot air rapidly cools, sinking in the bellows and pulling the piston back down. Better air piston designs can transfer over 70% of heat power to air power; solar power transfers 20 to 30%, and require more surface and as a result cost.

Very good invention in my opinion, especially, when we need to save energy and all that “save our planet” stuff going around.
