How to get rid of hover tabs on google chrome

Today I booted my 10 year old laptop (yes, I am stubborn and will not buy a laptop with Windows 10 because I hate that operating system so much), and google chrome did something funky with my computer and updated a new feature I definitely detest called hover tabs.

This screen cap is an image of what I am referring to:

I think it is distracting, ugly, and awful, and it seems like according to quora, at least one other poor sap hates the feature too.

If you hate it as much as I do and want things to go back to the old way, look at the screencap below and copy the URL. You click on the menu to disable the awful feature and close the program.

The next time you boot it, the awful horribly ugly feature will (hopefully) be forever disabled.

UNAM opens a free language website that offers diplomas? Oh My!

Now, I know the UNAM University has a few online bachelor degrees that are dirt cheap and presumably equivalent to the whole enchilada undergrad degree. I myself would have jumped the bandwagon for a fun associates degree a few years ago had it not been I am currently doing a postgrad degree which absorbs most of my free time.

I just learned about a new pilot language website called the "Ambiente Virtual de Idiomas" which offers Spanish language speakers freebie stuff to learn English, Italian and French.

I couldn't care less about learning English, but tons of people will surely enjoy this feature from the website.

French is not a top language I would be interested in learning, but for anyone with a huge desire to visit a Francophone country (me! me!), maybe it will come in handy.

Hopefully they will expand the website and offer more material. Why not give it a try?

Indie April

These are the final days of Indie April.

What is that?

A special 1 month event where bloggers, reading enthusiasts and book authors share the word of indie books and promote their material with the hopes of increasing sales, and obtain the ever elusive reviews.

Me?

I haven't gained any new reviews for my books (le sigh!) but I have gotten a handful of KU reads from several books and I have read & reviewered a few indie books.

Remember!

If you read a book, even if you didn't like it too much, try to spend 5 minutes of your time writing a review on major websites. You will make an author feel very happy and could stimulate people to try out new work.

Cheers!

Why blog?

I have to admit that I haven't been writing much on this blog as of late. Unless you were living under a rock, chances are you have heard that Google+ is shutting down because people simply don't use the website.

It makes a lot of sense to cut down of the chaff, but doing so has caused viewership to my blog to plummet to less than 5 views per week.

As such, I sometimes don't really have a topic to write about. My blog mainly focuses on what I write, and it isn't aimed at more mainstream topics such as travel or book authoring tips.

If you have reached the end of this brief post, kudos for showing up!

An Ominous Book 7 Harlequins coming live!

I have taken an insanely and unjustified long hiatus before releasing the 7th novel of the Ominous Book series. In an ideal world, I would have waited an additional year and a half to officially publish the book in order to afford the publicity the book deserves.

Against better sense, I opted to release this book so that I can focus my attention on my many other half finished and close to finished projects, amonst them, to publish the 8th book of the series as well, which is still going under some extra revisions that I engage in when I have the chance.

The 7th novel Harlequins is the longest book of the series, and probably and the 5th book, it is my second favorite because it explores a new and very exciting character Hama, and her buddling relationship to an always reluctant Lord Spaulding.

The drawing above is the first cover of the 7th novel. I have always wanted it to feature both Hama and her arch-nemesis Gulraj in the cover, because they look really nice together even though Hama would never agree to date him. Quite frankly, I didn't like how Hama's face turned out too much, and I tried redrawing it like 3 times or something. I find it to be a shame because Gulraj turned out so close to how I have always imagined him to be, cunning smirk and harlequin steel sword included!

All in all, while an extremely limited amount of people have read the 3rd novel, much less read all the way to the 7th, I am deeply pleased with this book that I love reading over and over again, and hope Hama's story delights you half as much as I enjoyed writing and laughing about her voyage.

The ebook is stated to be published February 14th, and I am trying to upload the pdf file with little success for some reason so that the paperback is available as well. Click on the image below to get it on Amazon right now!
