Slashdot Mirror

They stopped eval and document.location JavaScript abuse. Or is that just limited to Blogspot? See: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2006/07/13/

And hopefully someone with a clue finally fixed the ability that users can redirect blogspot blogs to a spam site by inserting JavaScript (document.location) in their templates (see: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2006/07/13/ )

Grease Monkey scripts that saves you a mouse click: http://johnbokma.com/firefox/greasemonkey/google-u nsafe-sites.html

And to celebrate 15 years of WWW lets all drop the www subdomain by redirecting (see http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/12/rewritingurl sforgoogle.html ) to the version without www. I mean, why do I still hear double you double you double you dot example dot com in commercials?

"Blogs can be ok, for instance of the blogger is really blogging something that he/she does on a daily basis because it's in a single field of expertise."

Make subfolders to create a hierarchy, see: http://johnbokma.com/windows/quick-launch.html And only put applications you use at least once a week in the high levels :-) Works for me ;-)

First, you can organize your start menu, but why bother: A better start menu with Quick Launch But the main point is, that *nix does suffer from a weird naming scheme. A good example would be KDE and all it's Ktools. I mean, if I am going to write a Uber Network Tool for KDE, how am I going to kall it?

If he needs slashdot to get a PR of 5 he's an idiot.

I got a 7 (http://johnbokma.com/) with way less effort.

http://johnbokma.com/perl/ has several tools in Perl:

Search Term Suggestion Tool, Page Rank reporting program, Google Suggest Script, Googlebot statistics, etc.

%s is the only parameter. It accepts a string, and that's it.

If google is going to filter blogs from it's main index, I am sure that some clever mod_rewiting will do the trick. Moreover, if it (Google) uses an RSS feed and some pinging services to determine if a site is a blog, it means one can give a competitor a blog ping of death, i.e. kick him/her out of the main index, if his/her site has a feed. In short, this would mean the death of RSS. I agree that copies of copies of copies of news should be kicked out of Google. Same of all the lyrics shites, (especially those that pop up "do you want to install this" windows), Usenet archives, Wikipedia clones, etc., etc. A lot of so called SEO specialists are at the constant look out for free content, and will clone this on their sites, and use it, and make a mess of search engines. I try to keep my blog (http://johnbokma.com/mexit/) as much as possible free from: I copied this from that blog, and look! It takes me quite some time to write something, edit the pictures (I have a 6 yo digital camera...), etc. and I really don't want to get punished for my efforts by getting kicked out of the main index, and put in some obscure blog search that probably a lot of my readers are not aware of (unless I blog about it :-) ).

try me: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/

My feed is in the main index: http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Aindex.rss%2 0site%3Ajohnbokma.com However, I don't show up with Google's Blog Search (for example: http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=La guna+de+Alchichica) Maybe I am doing something wrong, but if it means I am removed from the main index if I do it right, I keep doing it wrong. I don't want my blog, http://johnbokma.com/mexit/ to end up with LiveJournal, MySpace etc., thank you. The same sites that leech my pictures :-(

AOL to that, OTOH I will do everything to get my blog (http://johnbokma.com/mexit/) as far from this blog search engine as possible if it means that once you're in it, you're out of the main index. (I already renamed it to mexit ages ago when I noticed that Google indexed it slower, might have been a glitch though).

I made a movie available that shows what UV LEDs do to a scorpion: torrent (and one that shows how a scorpion catches a cricket)

Aargh, link: Scorpion detection using UV LEDs

and Security webcams

Uhh, as of now you can change the user agent in both Seamonkey and Firefox, with relevative ease. Any corporation using "useragent cloaking" as a cop-out for not migrating has got Microsoft money rolling in somewhere, or is headed by a PHB (most likely the latter case).

See http://johnbokma.com/perl/ for some small Google API examples using Perl. Although I miss some things, like the calculator, etc.

A guy built an interface similar to Overture to use with Google Suggest.

What I would like to see is that integrated into the address bar's autocomplete

You know, right under that big box you typed your comment in, it shows you how, with just six extra characters, you could make a working, clickable link!

Try <URL:http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/24/changin guseragent.html> (without the space added by Slashcode), which appears as http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/24/changinguser agent.html.
