Today I decided to join stackoverflow.com, which requires you to login using OpenID.
It was pretty simple to get signed up with myopenid.com, but while I was on the stackoverflow login page I noticed a little message which I found interesting: Read the rest of this entry »
I’m getting fed up with my current IRC BNC software. At the moment I’m using psyBNC, which means I have to connect to it like you would an IRC server, then issue commands to that to tell it to connect to the IRC server of your choice.
I no longer need the features of psyBNC and decided that there must be a better way.
At first I started looking at other, more basic BNC software, but then worked out that they work in very much the same way as psyBNC in the fact that you have to first connect to it, then tell it where to connect to.
So I thought… What about a socks5 proxy?
Today I get a call.
Outlook Express won’t print.
I log in and take a look. Everything seems normal, and normal documents appear to print.
However, when I click the print button or go to File > Print nothing happens. Strange.
They are running Windows XP Professional SP2, with IE6.
Turn dynamic URLs into friendly URLs
I’m sure we’re all familiar with URLs that look like this:
http://www.example.com/?nav=page
These type of URLs aren’t particularly “friendly”, they are known as dynamic URLs. As a rule of thumb search engines such as Google don’t like them as much as “static URLs”.
However, Google has recently released an article on this very subject entitled Dynamic URLs vs. static URLs, I recommend you give it a read so you fully understand what we’re talking about.
With the on-going abuse to email based systems, we are in need of ways to validate the email addresses we’re handling.
We all know what an email address looks like, we see them and use them every single day. But how do you know if it’s valid or not? The next obvious question should be, what defines a valid email address?
This is what I intend on investigating.
Looking for someone? huh? Well, look no further, this script is designed to keep log of people quiting, parting, being kicked out of and changing their nick… It also tells you if they are still on IRC, on a different channel or such, its basically the easiest way to keep track of people. It can now also tell you when someone last spoke.
So you just downloaded an entire album, and it's in .wma (windows media audio) format, and you, of course, like any normal person want it in the .mp3 format.
What do you do?
Recently Matt Cutts posted an article on his blog about Recording an IRC channel on Linux/Ubuntu.
However, as you can see his article was all about using the irssi IRC client on Linux/Ubuntu.
I decided that some people may wish to know how to do it on Windows.
Here’s how…
Back in 2004, I signed up my old site “hm2k.org” to Google AdSense as an attempt to raise funds for my work.
It’s content was mainly made up of what I was researching around that time, including a few controversial topics such as hacking, trojans and warez distribution. (Oh the joys of being under 18, or at least I was at time of original creation).
I signed up for Twitter quite some months ago, but have yet really found myself using it.
I’m sure some of you are wondering what twitter actually is. The best way to describe it is a way to tell people you know what you’re up to. It fills the gap between emails and blogs.
This way, your friends can find out what you’re up to without having to actually ask you, and only if they’re interested.
Quite a novel idea. Read the rest of this entry »
