New Gallery

November 7th, 2008 | Comments | Posted in geek

I’ve finally found a reason to ditch gallery2. Zenphoto! Much like Wordpress, but for images. Nice and simple, and clean! Big ups to the g2z making the migration very easy. The only hard part was realizing I had over 30,000 spam comments on the gallery and having the clean them out, thankfully zenphoto runs Akismet.

No Clean Feed

October 27th, 2008 | Comments | Posted in geek

Join the fight to stop Internet Censorship in Australia. I’m all for getting rid of the crap and highly illegal material on the web, but I do not want to be told what I can an can’t view on the Internet. Not to mention suffer a 20%+ drop in performance just to stop child molestors and un-parented children from viewing bad things. Any ‘pro’ for the filter that talks about protecting the children with this national filter is bullshit, it should be the responsibilty of the parents. Here’s a crazy thought, educate the parents on how to look after there children when using the Internet. You wouldn’t leave your child in the City would you? So why leave them to browse the world from their computer alone? Ugh, people are stupid and mostly it’s the Politians when it comes to technology…

iSkoot for Skype WM client on Xseries! maciekwolf from the Whirlpool.net.au forums has a great trick to get Skype working on Windows Mobile using 3 Skype minutes. Basically it involves registry hacking iSkoot to use 3’s Skype gateway, thus the 3 Skype minutes. Yay for free Skype on my HTC TyTn II!
