Wordpress 2.5 upload fix

May 28, 2008

Looks like even after exten­sive test­ing on Wordpress’s side, one nasty bug man­aged to slip through, and it’s not the fault of Word­press either. Appar­ently, any­one using mod_security on Apache will not be able to upload any­thing on Word­press 2.5 or Word­press 2.5.1. This could be because mod_security doesn’t take a lik­ing towards the Flash […]

Paid per search? Doesn’t sound quite right

May 28, 2008

My Search Funds is offer­ing to pay you just for web searches. That’s prob­a­bly one of the eas­i­est ways to earn money, since after all, you do use Google or Yahoo right? Results are obtained from Yahoo, Ask, and Win­dows Live. Google is not sup­ported since Google doesn’t per­mit third par­ties to mod­ify searches. In order […]

Five ways to get a Digg/Reddit clone

May 23, 2008

If you love Dig­ging (or redditing) to the point that you sim­ply must have your own per­son­al­ized “Digg” site, this arti­cle is here to help you do that. An added bonus — the full instal­la­tion steps are in this arti­cle as well, so you don’t really need to read the instruc­tion man­ual to get your Digg […]

Love the template? Vote for it!

May 19, 2008

This would prob­a­bly be the first “con­test” on this site. Basi­cally, I’m going to release this tem­plate to the pub­lic early if it gets enough approvals — and the best way to do it would have to be through the built-in vot­ing sys­tem here. A pretty cool move right? I’d bet this would prob­a­bly be the […]

This update has been car­ried out over sev­eral days, so you may want to check out inner pages of your site […]

Microsoft (finally) drops bid on Yahoo

May 5, 2008

 
Looks like Microsoft decided to with­draw it’s sec­ond bid (given the results of the first pro­posal, not many paid much atten­tion to the sec­ond pro­posal) to acquire Yahoo. It’s not that sur­pris­ing that the bid failed since after all, the sec­ond bid was only slightly higher than the first bid (but much less than what Yahoo wanted). This so-called “hostile […]

May PageRank update

May 1, 2008

 
Looks like Google decided to update the vis­i­ble PageR­ank on the Google tool­bar between the 30th of April and the 1st of May. Well, at least it came after much spec­u­la­tion (on Dig­i­tal­point any­way) of PageR­ank updates fol­low­ing a string of PageR­ank penal­ties across sites that were caught sell­ing paid links.
Over­all, most sites received an increase in PageRank, […]

Spam should be considered a statistic

April 19, 2008

You hate spam. Every­one hates spam. Spam­mers would hope that you mis­tak­enly approve their spam, but that never really hap­pens, if at all. As spam vol­umes con­tinue to rise, peo­ple can eas­ily brush it off as a reg­u­lar thing. Nonethe­less, let’s turn that nasty piece of garbage to a piece of “brag­ging right”. The idea is […]

April 18, 2008

 
Mozilla recently released an update for Fire­fox to fix a poten­tial secu­rity threat. This update is avail­able through auto-update.
The update only fixes one flaw in Fire­fox related to the Javascript “garbage col­lec­tor” which may cause crashes in Fire­fox. While this prob­lem has not been exploited for any pur­poses, Fire­fox isn’t going to wait till it is. This is […]
