TuneIn – time to clean up your act or death rattle?

These fake “infected” messages are showing up in 20 minute (?) rotation at tunein android app as of late. (for the crawlers – “Remove virus now”) Referring back to headline – if tunin is a going concern – going concerns don’t accept advertising from disreputable vendors. Tunein already isn’t a going concern – this is […]

video & wordpress

Embed via youtube one of the simplist. Segue from client q&a. Example embedding code from youtube (share option): “<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/bx6HbE7sQDo” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>” Slightly longer youtube clip, just over 11 minutes:   Experiment w/youtube & wordpress video plugin: You need the “ID” from the youtube url – A#wn…AAA “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3wnsdx3MAA” plugin details: http://daburna.de/dokuwiki/doku.php/instruction http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-video-plugin/ (vetted at […]

What is “Nothing”? (what did sun java learn…?)

Something I’ve been curious about since the NSA (?) warning about buggy java. Java installer flps back to bloatware & malware This is a computer previously updated to a post non (or less) buggy version of java (without bloatware options) after the NSA warning. Latest update – they’re back to defaulting to bloatware/malware add-ons. I […]

imgburn – another open source developer bites the dust

Sigh. Fyi. Latest imgburn update installs several bloatware programs w/out authorization. Removed and precautionary malware scan. Open source – going, going…   But wait – that’s not all. lol. (why would ANYONE want to remove our bloatware?). A last detail – almost zero possibility this was an innocent oversight. Chrome crashed twice during the imgburn […]

Sigh. Got to keep track of those testing sites

Robot traffic stumbled upon earlier today. Older drupal variant web site I keep around for testing use only. 2nd screen shot – just there to confirm that yes – at least some of these robot accounts visit more than once. Idle site – talking to other robots? 😉 Shut down the entry mechanism – automated […]

Fun w/Tech.

Although Slate disagrees – I’m sticking w/my original answer (stereotypical shoulder shrug). 😉 Happy Friday. Btw – France – re: service – you are far from alone. 😉 😉

bizarre conflict

Drive & es file. “htclinkifydispatcher” – now there’s a name.   es file manager toggle

tech. ‘oops’ – apple map not alone

A stroll down memory lane aided by google maps & earth. Collapsed bridges – not just on apple maps…

another (hacking) quarter heard from? joomla?

I keep a joomla web site around strictly for research purposes. Recently got a small spat of new user e-mails that traced to that test site. Interesting detail on the user accounts – they had some kind of a “public administration” flag turned on. Inside the web site (had been self-signup allowed) – they showed as […]

one of these days

google will grasp the concept of customer service? gmail, google apps, all cloud are down as of 7:50 am cst. zdnet & other are acknowledging – google.com – not so much. bothers me less that it’s down than that google can’t even get their act together to acknowledge the problem.
