Comment Spam

Last night my blog was flooded with comment spam.
I installed Jay Allens Movable Type plugin MT-Blacklist.
Hope it’ll work.


Gmails ‚Related Pages‘ Ad

My first ‚related pages‘ ad in Gmail:
vowe dot net :: July 2003 Archives
I have no clue why my mail content is related to Volkers page.
Quite funny.


Long Distance Calls Will Never Be The Same

If you use skype go and download skype again. Don’t ask, just do it (I said download and install not just update!!!). Install this ’new‘ version. You’ll see a new tab called ‚Dial‘.
Go to your skype account, take your credit card and buy some skype credits.
Go to the skype client and simply dial a oversea number with international access code.
For example you can call the USA for 0.014 Euro a minute.

feedreader2opml

I’ve used Feedreader as RSS aggregator.
It has some disadvantages. The current version (2.5 Build 610) doesn’t support RSS 2.0 and Atom.
Oliver recommended Sharpreader.
Only one problem.
You can’t export the subscriptions to opml. The Feedreader subscriptions are organized in a XML file called ’subscriptions.xml‘. So I did a little codework to transform the subscriptions to opml.
Locate the ’subscriptions.xml‘ file.
Copy the file to a directory of your choice.
Copy the feedreader2opml.xsl and the feed2opml.hta file in the same directory.
Open the feed2opml.hta local with Internet Explorer.
In the chosen directory a new file ‚feedreader2opml.opml‘ is created.
This file can be imported to a opml compatible RSS aggregator.
If the feed2opml.hta will not work correct, you may use an old version of the MSXML Parser.
Simply change the Set XMLDoc = CreateObject(„Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0“) to Set XMLDoc = CreateObject(„Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0“)


Firefox Kiosk Mode File

I have many hits concerning the firefox kiosk mode. I provide my browser.jar file as download (Save link target as).
Go to the ‚chrome‘ folder in the Mozilla Firefox program directory. Locate the browser.jar file rename it to browser.ja_
Copy my browser.jar instead. Restart Firefox. Watch Firefox in Kiosk mode.
This is a recommended site about Firefox.
Also recommended Andrew Mutchs tutorial for kiosk mode.


Eclipse Project 3.0 M9

Eclipse 3.0 Milestone 9 is out. The first thing that I noticed after the update was the new folding feature in the editor. It provides collapsible text regions for method bodies, inner types, Javadoc comments, and import statements.
You can browse much faster through the code and it makes it more readable if you just want to concentrate on certain parts of the code.
Did I mention that I really like Eclipse?

Skype

I know this is „old“ stuff, but I’m totaly impressed by Skype.
I never saw just a good internet telephonie software like this. Try it. Highly recommended.
