"Away from keyboard" and new feature

First I would like to advertise here again that I was in the next few weeks, visiting the island of the Mediterranean landscape and therefore I can care less about support requests, as it is usually the case. Imagine then one on Monday or Tuesday to answer in 2 weeks.

The new feature Besht fact that now -> here <- a list of the last 10 songs I've heard can einsehn. Anyone who has interest in my music taste can indeed look a look.

The realization of these features was fairly simple, as an RSS Last.fm - Feed on these songs last 10 posts on the internet and I just had to embed it here.

Accurate, such as a brief description of Last.fm, there when I'm back.

So long BODY Snatch.

History of hostility

With the shutdown of "The Stars" for me one of the darkest chapters of my story ends in the network.

You're probably wondering right now what is "The Stars" and what I got to do!

"The Stars" was, according to operators' Funsynchro The largest database on the Web "and was the kind of site that offer synchros for download, as it used to be fun doing synchro.

This common orientation got to know sooner or later. How exactly did this happened already in April described.

Could in any case, after several attacks (Linksteal, complaints, ...) but a common solution can be found on the both sides should provitieren.

Then more precisely by the frequent exchange of information, probably also some vulnerable sites were launched by Fun-Synchro. Exactly at that moment had an admin gates of "The Stars" and waited to hit.

When I got a few days later I was called away my e-mail a request to delete all "illegal" by your data provider in my inbox. Why am I here "illegally" in quotation marks is very simple, my provider did not know whether the provision of synchronizations against the German law violation. Anyway, he had sent emails to the right owner and who knows how that would be expected, I would not have taken the side of the net.

Then followed a rather quiet period, creating a new synchros was fun for me on my schedule, so I had no time to even look at Fun-Synchro over.

But now you can see for a long time only one error on their side and also someone from the scene reported that the administrators would have probably lost any desire on their project.

Apparently made it "the largest database on the Web Funsynchro" not managed the flow of time on the Internet withstand.

Rest in peace ... ...

But what I've learned, never trust former enemies, and never tell a lot about you, because everything can be used against you. Let's hope the Fun-Synchro is now something is no longer flourishing.

Spam, one of the worst epidemics digital

How often do we get daily advertising? On Internet sites, in television broadcasting or in magazines, everywhere there are colorful advertisements promoting the most impossible of things.

Against these forms one can certainly argue anything because they are indeed sometimes more sometimes less easy to circumvent.

But what about advertising that arrives directly at you, on your home PC? Since promises to be big profits, great men and cure-all products and given the best, once you have replied to such a dubious message, then the number of messages grows almost fever pitch.

Yes, the talk is of spam that arrives not only by mail or unwanted calls, no, now blogs, guest books, forums and many other forms of communication in the network converted to virtual billboards.

Here in the blog statistics still looks quite sober, were successfully blocked 13 spam comments.

What are we to do with advertising about the messenger, including ICQ, MSN or Yahoo, to name a few. Are anti-spam tool that does not exist yet! Address block does not help! The only help that it is never to publish his address on the network, who is even in the case has no chance, then you can such messages as:

Hey there... I'm doing a LIVE STRIPTEASE on my webcam for all my friends! Let me know if you would like to watch me and I'll send you the link.

just ignore yet. Of course several times a day, it is even a guarantee!

This is supposed to be only the beginning of the story as it was to read in a very interresting article for the Berliner Zeitung, are in spam mails now even used pieces of Shakespeare and other great poets to the bypass on words based filtering of spam emails.

Hope we will make the anti-spam tools and such progress, as do the spammers now, because otherwise the only solution is a life completely separate from the Internet.

Let's wait, as in a year or two looks, whether we then have to rely on completely different way of communicating back, because spam and viruses can destroy networks, a great example of this is the KaZaA P2P network, which today almost disappeared completely in Nirvana seems to be.

The belief in a spam-free future, BODY Snatch.

New ideas, new work!

After I was accosted a pal, not whether we want to make a Synchro tournament, I barely have time to blog again, as the tournament site must be done yes. ;-)
In any case, a new update for wordpress has been released, which, as always -> here <- to download. The version 2.0.4 fixes many bugs again (over 50) and I can only recommend every webmaster to update to version 2.0.4 also.

The larger project, which I have already mentioned at the beginning, is a contest between different crews synchro, synchronized groups so the movies and we try and be the basis of user votes short Synchros sent the so-called "best Crew Synchro-2006" to be determined.

Of course, a completely new website created for it, but also solvents and display system to be developed, which is a lot of work. If one has a lot of time is not as the problem, but since I'm flying next week in the south, and until then should be the basics, but must be inserted at the time a "small" spurt. So just a few hours to program and increased consumption of nicotine and coffee.

Thank God those times are indeed over, and you can be happy again, if one "has put behind him" something and the positive effects (eg increased traffic), then get to feel.

Solong your BODY Snatch.
