Fixed the issue in Google Chrome: Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) : Unable to resolve the server's DNS address

Some days ago, when I used Google Chrome to hit some URLs I am surfing often, I got the following error intermittently: 

Error 105 (net:: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED):  Unable to resolve the server's DNS address

In the beginning, I thought it could be the issue of proxy setting or a computer virus in my laptop. I talked to my wife and she said that she had seen this issue in her laptop for many days.  Interesting!

I decided to use the system image I created earlier to recover my computer to see what’s going on. After system image and hitting the URLs via Chrome, the following screenshot appeared.

I tried 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 already, but I didn’t try restarting my router and modem. After restarting my router and modem, we haven’t seen this issue any more.

Next time if you have the same issue -Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) ,  you can use this screenshot for your reference. The Error 105 issue should be resolved.

Fix the issue: Sound is not working in Chrome

Yesterday when I used Chrome to watch videos on YouTube, there was no sound in my laptop. After looking into this issue, there is no issue with my sound card because I can still use IE9 to watch videos with the clear sound. What happened to Chrome? Finally, I find the main issue is from Shockware Flash.

How to fix the sound issue in Chrome?

Go to Chrome Plugins

Disable Shockware Flash (11.7.700.179)

Close Chrome

Go to YouTube again

Click the video and it can lead you to install the version (11.7.700.169)

After that, sound is working in Chrome.

IE 8: Can’t copy words from MS Word to Blogger

Today I downloaded IE 8 in my PC with Windows XP SP3 to surf some websites. One interesting fact I found today was that if I wrote some keywords in .docx or .txt and wanted to copy them to my blog, I couldn't paste them to blogspot on IE 8 because "paste" is disabled when I right clicked the mouse. Crtl+ v is not working , either.

If I went to Tools, Compatibility View Settings, and checked Display all websites in compatibility view, I could paste the words from .txt or .docx to BlogSpot on IE 8.

Uploading the images using IE 8 makes UI look so ugly in blogger.

Do you think it is an interesting issue?

I like Google Reader

Everyone knows that blogs are very popular now. If you want to see your friends’ blogs, but these are in different websites, how can you access them easily? Do you want to open your browser and go to the individual website? It is not smart to do so.

Google Reader provides a good way for bloggers to read people’s blogs easily. You just login to www.google.com/reader using your username and password. You can add subscription by typing the URL of friend’s blog individually. Next time you can read them easily. I like Google Reader.

Google provides the excellent search function of free ebooks

If I find some IT books such as Visual Studio.NET 2008, C# 3.0, WPF, WCF, or SQL Server are excellent in Barnes and Nobles, do you think I will buy them soon? The answer is no.

I will go back to my apartment, open my notebook, go to Google main page and enter the name of the book title. I will see lots of websites provide free ebooks and I can download them easily. Why should I buy these expensive books? Google really provides the excellent search function of free ebooks.

Google Adsense-I don’t care!

Many people want to use Google Adsense to make money, but I don’t care. If you want to click ads here , welcome. If you don't want to click, I don't care. I only use it to know what kind of ads are in my blog. When I post some articles , I find that some ads are very useful. I can just enter URL by myself and know more information.


Why do people want to use Google Adsense to make money? Is the return of investment good? I don’t believe so. If you don’t click your ads but Google says they are invalid clicks, what should you do? Do you want to have any argument with Google? There is no such thing as a free lunch.

The best way for you to do is go with the flow. You should find another way to make money. Using Google Adsense to learn useful knowledge is my besy way.

The quality of Google Talk is getting worse and worse

In the past 2 weeks, I have found that using Google Talk to talk to people online always delays voice transmission. It is not reliable now. I can even hear my voice echo when talking to my friends online after 5 seconds. When this issue happens, I don't want to talk online any more because it wastes time and also lets people feel annyoed.What’s wrong with Google Talk now?


Google Talk provides the better quality than Skype in my mind. When a lot of people are using it and network traffic is so heavy, do you think Google Talk needs to increase its quality too?
If not, the loyalty of customers will be disappeared.


I really hope the quality of Google Talk is getting much better than ever.

Google blog search engine is not reliable.

Everyone knows that Google is very famous for its search engine. But I want to mention one fact: Why is the search engine in blogger.com not so reliable?

Just imagine the situation: After Mary posts a new article in her blog in blogger.com, she wants to search her article. Therefore, she goes to the Google’s official blog search (http://blogsearch.google.com) and enters the key word; unfortunately, she can’t find it. After one hour, she still can’t find it. Even after 1 week, she still can’t find it. Is that user –friendly?

You can also add another search function in your own blog. Just go to
https://draft.blogger.com/draft , copy the codes to your own blog. But in your blog, when you enter the key word to search your articles inside your blog, sometimes it doesn’t work.

What happens to the search engine? Many people will say: you should go to another website to register for your information or you need to wait until people click your articles. That’s the joke!!

User-friendly! User-friendly! User-friendly!

I really hope search engine in blogger.com will be reliable soon!

Comments on Using Picasa- One interesting issue!

2 months ago, I read one of the articles in PC Magazine that introduced one of Google’s free software, Picasa. I found it was so interesting and useful that I told Christine to download and gave it a try because she likes to try some useful software such as Photoshop, InDesgin , Photo Impact, etc.

After she downloaded and launched Picasa, she followed its instruction. Finally she regretted. Picasa made her PC down. She swore that she will never use it in the future. What happened to her PC?

This is a good interesting issue I like to mention here.

When you use Picasa for the first time, it has the small dialog box which lets you scan your photos. You cannot say no. But when you click “yes”, it will automatically scan all of your pictures in your hard drive. If you have many pictures in different folders, but the total storage is more than 40 GB, do you think it will finish scanning as soon as possible?

If you have many digital photos in your hard drive like Christine, will you use Picasa as your tool in your PC? I don’t believe so.

I don’t know why Picasa wants to scan all of the pictures in the beginning. Why not add another function to let users add directories later?

I hope they can improve this function in the future!

My ideal blogger.com —user friendly functions are the best.

Blogger.com seems very popular now. Many people want to give it a try.

When I use it, I should say: blogger.com doesn’t provide user-friendly functions for users. Some special functions need time to search; some are in other domain websites. They assume that users are professional and will find the functional answers by themselves. Do they really spend a lot of time searching the information and just add those functions to their blogs? Probably not.

My ideal blogger.com is just simple. Blogger .com should collect useful user-friendly functions and users can add them directly. They don’t need to know HTML/JavaScript. They don’t have to worry about those functions so much.

What are people’s useful functions now in their blog?

1. Provide many useful templates of 2 columns or multiple columns directly.

2. Provide functions of showing visitor counts, recent posts, recent comments, and recent articles.

3. Provide functions of showing article categories, article search, my subscriptions and horoscope directly.

4. Provide functions of calendar, weather, google map, oil price..etc.

5. Provide the function of uploading multiple photos to the blog one time. Copying texts and photos from Microsoft Word or Google documents to the blog is also the best way.

Are these functions basic?

I want to mention: User friendly! User friendly! User friendly!

No HTML/JavaScript.Users have no time to search.

I really hope that blogger.com can know what users need and what they want.

I really hope those basic functions should be realized in the upcoming days.

Comments on uploading multiple photos to blogger.com

Today I wanted to upload photos to my tour blog in blogger.com, and I found I couldn’t find a way to upload multiple photos to my blog. I felt very disappointed. Blogger.com doesn’t provide a good way for users to get the job done as soon as possible. Therefore, I used my ways and searched many ways online as follows. I also want to make some comments here.

Solution 1: Login to blogger.com and use dashboard to upload one photo one time.

Comment: A very stupid way. If you have 100 photos, do you think users will upload 100 times? Who will do it like this?


Solution 2: Download Picasa and click BlogThis!

Comment: I tried it and found it didn’t work. Finally I know BlogThis! doesn’t support the new blog in blogger.com. A very bad function now.


Solution 3: Copy photos and paste them to blogger.com

Comment: It doesn’t work. Blogger.com doesn’t support copy and paste functions for photos.


I feel so disappointed about the function of uploading multiple photos. Finally I find a new way by myself. I would like to share it with you.

1. Login to your blogger.com

2. Click settings --> email --> add the email address you want in Mail-to-Blogger Address

3. Open your Picasa, sort by file name, select many photos, and click “Email”. It will pop up the small window. Please add the email address you mention above.

4. Click send. It will send all photos to your blog quickly.

5. You can edit this post and add some text you want.

Do you think blogger.com provide a good way for users to upload multiple photos?
Blogger.com can ask me to test the functions for them.
