  • Tweetmeme – is it worth your time?

    I am looking at tweetmeme.com. A twitter.com tracker. 1? – what exactly is the point of a twitter tracker? By the way, there are a lot of them out there (just keep scrolling). I mean, you see on tweetmeme.com what you see on twitter.com. The only useful functionality, I see, is its ability to sort…

  • Business 2.0 is dying.

    I just read on TechCrunch that my favorite business magazine, Business 2.0, is to immediately stop its presses and close its doors after the completion of the upcoming October issue next week. This is terrible! I have been reading Business 2.0 since 2001. Over the years, this magazine has provided me with vast amounts of…

  • Server change

    Due to increasing costs of operation the host, from which I was renting my server, closed its doors yesterday. So because of that I had one week, going back, to find a new host and move my data. Because of the number of sites I am hosting and the comfort of being in control of…

  • McAfee fails to secure!

    Up to couple of weeks ago I have always used Symantec for my antivirus software. But in the last two weeks I decided to try McAfee AntiVirus, which comes as part/component of the McAfee SecurityCenter and provided for free to Comcast subscribers. So, I installed it on some of the machines I have at home.…

  • Latest Posts v1.0 by Cypher

    While looking for plugins for Jutia Group I stumbled upon Latest Posts v1.0. It is on the left side, under “10 Newest Entries”. I needed some more functionality out of it so I took the liberty to modify the code a bit. Just to make it a tad more flexible. I started by changing the…

  • RTP 300 log in script is still flawed

    Tonight, while reconfiguring my network, I had to log into my Linksys RTP 300 router. If you remember, a while back I wrote about a security flaw I found in the log in script of that router. You can read my post here. Well, tonight while logging in I mistyped the last character of the…

  • M$ 🙁 u F%^K1^g @5535

    It makes you wonder, with great hate, what Microsoft’s software engineers are doing when coding a simple app like windows explorer. Thanks to them I just lost 7 Gigs of my files. As we all know, windows explorer has two panels. One on the left, where we have the directory tree and one on the…

  • Google releases new Page Creator

    Thanks to Digg I found out that Google has entered the web hosting/personal space arena. That of course is not counting Blogger. The Page Creator‘s interface is all in AJAX, just like GMail and most everything on the Internet with a smart and creative web designer behind it. This makes creating very decent pages a…

  • Reveal extension for Firefox

    I just installed the Reveal Firefox extension. After the sweet interactive tutorial that comes with it, I must say this is a great extension. It has an interactive thumbnail tab bar that can be brought up just with one key stroke, which comes with a search thumbnail function as well. You can choose to search…

  • Haha – no way!!!

    Amanda and I just finished watching the Whole Nine Yards on DVD. I switched the receiver to TV. Apparently the cable box was on, because what I saw confused me for a moment. I guess I forgot to turn off the c-box when I put in the DVD. Before the movie Amanda was watching Seinfeld…
