I found a great blog today that chronicles the experiences of a few guys who day by day for many months, increasingly hate Windows Vista. It’s hilarious, and what makes it so funny is that its all true. All the things we’ve all experienced with that P-O-S (that doesn’t stand for Premium Operation System… BTW).

Today we completed the updates to Aztec Bass Fishing’s website promoting their Mexico Fishing Vacations. The major changes included updating the home page with revised copy as well as brand new pages and an updated sitemap.
Today www.ezinearticles.com published my article entitled “Protect Email Addresses From Spammers“. This is my first publication on that ezine site. The website has all the earmarks of a quality content website with strict standards rather than some spammy article directory hosted by a guy named Amjeet in India. I am looking forward to publishing more quality content there.
Comments welcome!
I just ran through some logs and discovered that people are stealing my bandwidth by hot-linking to my images. What is this? Instead of downloading images found on the web to use for your own purposes, which is dubious anyway, the criminal actually uses the URL to my site for the src in the img tag. This means that not only are they stealing the image, they are stealing bandwidth which I pay for.
Some people do this unaware that they are actually stealing, others do it to save their own bandwidth when their site gets busy. Either way, it is a real crappy thing to do. Its like running a secret wire from your neighbor’s house to run YOUR electric stuff. Which also happened to me!
My solution? The old switcheroo! If I find a image being linked from my site, I just replace that image on my server with something that the thief would not want on their site. Its kinda funny and it works to get them off your server.
The other option is to prevent “hotlinking” via .htaccess. This is fine, but its not nearly as fun! To all you bandwidth thieves.. enjoy the new pics!
We completed the set up of the new Wordpress blog for JEM Enterprises. JEM is a Plastic Injection Molding Design and Tooling company from Michigan. We added this as a Plastic Injection Molding Blog for the purposes of adding relavent and informative content for the JEM Enterprises Company.
Do you tweet? Ok… for the uninitiated this means, “do you use Twitter.com?”. Well, if you do, new reports indicate that with a few clicks of the mouse a spammer can harvest thousands of email addresses from the mini-blogging service. One developer noted, “You can sit and just watch the email addresses steadily trickle in… I wouldn’t doubt it if spammers are harvesting these.”
So for all you knuckleheads that blindly jump on every Internet novelty that comes along, enjoy your never ending flow of new and exciting spam!
