How Universal Music Group likes their fake mp3s: Chopped and Screwed

In the battle against filesharers, members of the RIAA sometimes hire companies which attempt to disrupt the sharing of copyrighted material. A common tactic to discourage downloaders is to release multiple bogus copies of the media on P2P networks in an attempt to make it difficult to distinguish a good copy from a bad [...]

Winter 2.1.0

One thing that has been bugging me about Winter is that code must be left aligned or else MediaWiki will format it with some HTML. This made it impossible to write neat code, especially in longer programs. I finally hit upon a decent workaround and now program code is much more readable. Before: {{#function | [...]

All hail Akismet

For some time I’ve had problems with spam commenters. I’ve held them at bay mostly by having an extensive spam word blacklist as well as holding all comments with even one link in the approval queue. My blog had been somewhat dormant for the last year, and I guess the spam bots had [...]

Winter 2.0.2

A user left a comment notifying me about a warning message which would appear if allow_call_time_pass_reference was set to off in PHP settings. I’ve fixed the problem along with a few other minor bugs for this release. I also added a new comment syntax {{#| You comment here }} Change log: * Fixed allow_call_time_pass_reference [...]

Winter 2.0.1 and Winter manual updated

I finished up the initial stages of the Winter 2.0 documentation today, so now you should be able to fully take advantage of all the new features. I noticed a few minor issues as I was documenting the code so I corrected them and have released the changes as Winter 2.0.1. Change log: Fixed some [...]

Imageshack toolbar adds itself to Firefox’s ‘User Agent’ identifier

I was poking around in a log and noticed the Imageshack toolbar had added itself to what my browser’s User Agent. Not really a big deal but still not very polite of the developers. You can remove it by editing your default.js file in C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and removing this line: pref(”general.useragent.extra.ImageShackToolbar”, “ImageShackToolbar/4.2.1″);

Winter 2.0.0

It’s been over a year since I last released an update for Winter. Since then MediaWiki introduced support for parser function extensions, which provide some of the same basic functionality as Winter. Winter code does not interfere with parser functions, and they can be used on the same page, though care must be [...]

Will Apple (or anybody!) please make a DJ suite for the iPod?

I recently owned a pair of CD turntables.. I enjoyed using them, though they were bulky and the fact that I had to burn all my music onto CDs was annoying. I ended up selling them because they just weren’t what I wanted. I really wish I could use my iPod like a turntable. [...]

I got owned by BraveSentry

I wrote this up a few months ago when my machine was infected with BraveSentry.. since then I’ve been able to get my machine back to normal without having to reinstall windows, but it did require me to reinstall SP2 to get my network settings completely back to normal and restore NAT. I intended [...]

Intellectual Plunger

Ok well, it was actually intellectually plunger but hey, you can’t ask for perfection from spam bots and their random subject line generators all the time

My Darpa Protozoa

A few months ago, I started receiving a good deal of spam with randomly generated subject lines. Most of them aren’t really all that interesting and just sound like random words strung together. But sometimes I do get a bit of spam with a funny or interesting title. Today I received a [...]

phc-win 0.2.1 - bugfixes

As expected, there were some bugs with the first release of phc-win. The biggest problem occured whenever the path of the program file or any code contained a space: it simply wouldn’t compile the code. That has been fixed in this version. Some other minor bug fixes as well. PHC-WIN is [...]

phc-win: A PHP compiler for Windows

PHC-WIN is a windows application that allows one to create EXEs from PHP code. The PHP code is first converted to PHP bytecode using bcompiler, and then embedded into an EXE using embeder. Compiling the code into bytecode has two benefits: it speeds up load times since the PHP code doesn’t have [...]
