SmartFTP - Freeware with official back door?

Not too long ago it was made with free updates of new SmartFTP FTP tools. Used previously only had commercial licenses must purchase, so it had all at once. So it seems.

After trial period expired, the software can no longer be used to either obtaining a license or simply a newer version of SmartFTP - website has been downloaded. An update extended (with me several times tested successfully) the test period of 7 days.

Although it is not a permanent solution, but for casual users but SmartFTP is an alternative. But above all, should not be forgotten after a reboot the PC update, otherwise do not drag and drop works.

The next great leap - WordPress

Now, after a rather unexpected final phase, it is finally here and WordPress 2.5 is released.

The update went (thanks to small changes in your theme) so far without friction over the stage.

In any case, one can say the update has been worth it, if only on the new admin interface.

Have fun updating I wish you, it's worth it!

PS: Man, what strikes one not all at such an update. For example, the new version of my FTP tools (SmartFTP) now supports parallel uploads.

Finally managed to update the phpBB!

Where you still in the early upgrade phpBB deal even with manual labor code and other nasty things had, there is now a respectable solution.

Especially the phpBB beta was still heavy in their first releases up to straight-and to keep the data. (I only remember the UTF-8 conversion)

Today I am now dealing with an update of my test board and discovered this great tool. Simply upload data from the archive and follow the setup.

Customizing the database to the new version now done automatically. The real hammer is the update file, where you are currently at earlier mod, still had to compare each file, all files automatically and displayed differences compared to the previous original and the New.

Class work, I say just because!

Your Body-Snatch.

PS: more updates to come!

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.
