in Purgatory on How To Split An Atom
In my blog I have a tutorial on how to make a blog with Wordpress. Three years ago i had to stop updating my blog (at the time i was using a cms called Mambo ..nothing in comparison to Wordpress). I started updating my blog again (and changed the blog platform) last year. During that year where I left the blog by itself do you know what happened? it was spammed, hacked, violated, and stained in all possible ways.So from a limbo-blog it became a zoobie sending spams to other blogs. Can you imagine me after one year, when I opened my blog again???...Zap! it was like being stubbed in my heart!
The wisest thing to do was to put it offline of course. That's was a lesson for me!

ophelia_chong Dear Web Talk,

Thanks for mentioning that. And with all that spam comments with links, it gives the spammers a place to park their links forever. Wow.

You know this is a great topic for another post. How the zombie blogs are used to further the reach of spam. It really is the "walking dead"

thanks for the great insight and for your story. amazing!
:O)

in Don’t Hire The Smartest Guy on How To Split An Atom
i would prefer to hire people who are less smarter than me. That's because if i am a boss it is not by chance... i am supposed to be smarter.Because of this i would only look for people who can execute my orders right away and without arguing. maybe i would just choose a guy as smart as me.

Rieth i totally agree with you, what if the one you hired will be the one who will soon replace you, that's an awful situation.

in Comparing the Obama and McCain Emails on .eduGuru
nice article. i just saw something like that on TV recently where journalists were talking how Mccain knows very little about the Internet. he even dictates email to his wife who rewrite them and send them via email because...he does know how to do it!!!

in The Best Written Spam Ever on The Beta News
this is a very old scam. it started getting around the internet some years ago and a lot of people got cheated in zero time. today is a little more difficult not to recognize this scam because the web is overfloaded by it. if i am not mistaken it is called nigerian scam because the first emails ever sent were from this country

in How to Double Firefox Browsing Speed on Dialup Connection | ixibo on ixibo! Technology Blog
well, some people still use it. it is just sufficent to have a text browser (the one which doesnt load images, java ect) to have a fast connection. if you also add this trick it will look like you have a T1 connection!

in Internet Speed: How to Increase with HOSTS file | ixibo on ixibo! Technology Blog
nice suggestion. i also remember some years ago a nice trick which let you tweak your MTU and other parameters...in the end i gave up when i went from dial-up to adsl. if you are looking for speed another nie thing is to download one of those browser that just load text leaving all the img and junk out

in Officially Retiring WordPress Automatic Upgrade on Techie Buzz
i have been using wau till now and i have to say that it is a great plugin. I also knew that the Wp guys were preparing something like this plugin and well, it is good. the automatic upgrade feature is something which fits into Wordpress naturally, and it is a shame that we had to wait for a long time like this. anyway..thanks for WAU it has been serving all of us excellently! I also hope that the Wordpress team would acknowledge your work!

in Private: Multi-Tiered Pro Gaming Table on OhGizmo!
wow! having such a table involves having a lot of computer stuff. I wonder if these kind of people sleep, eat and breathe like us! anyway i think that an average person having an average house won't know where to place it at all. it looks like something to show off

aren't you supposed to use floss after you have brushed your teeth to give them a nice fresh fragrance? using bacon floss is like washing your body with a soap having a nice sweat "fragrance" lol!
