My mom recently passed away and I had seen a news clip somewhere about this. I wanted (and still want to) do this for her, for my dad when his time comes and for some of my other relatives that have long since passed away but are all but forgotten now except by the few remaining survivors. I would love to do something to honor and respect their memories and their pasts.
So I looked at the website that offers the QR service for memorials, lifemarker.com
This was the biggest question I had and I found the answer I expected.
Q: How long will the LifeMarkerTM web archive be maintained? A: Web archive page(s) that comply with the terms and conditions of LifeMarkerTM, LLC will be maintained for as long as the company is in business.
Well we all know how long companies stay in business. Not very long. So what I'm doing now is trying to find a way to put something online that will stay online for 100 years (or as long as the internet is alive).
Another thing about the company, the sample they exhibit didn't really impress me. So it's time to roll my own.
I'm thinking buy a domain and hosting and put up any content you want. Make sure that archive.org crawls it. Then generate a QR code for the archive.org copy of your content. You can generate your own QR code easily. Then find someone that can do ceramics and have it put onto a ceramic tile. Lots of people do ceramics as a hobby. Find a way to attach it to the headstone that will never turn loose. There must be a ~permanent~ adhesive.
I'm sure this isn't the best way to do it but it's just something I pulled out of thin air. I need to do a lot more research on it but I honestly have little faith in that lifemarker company being around for long, much less any other company.
Siddhartha Gautama aka The Budda aka Buddha is not a deity. The Buddha was simply a human being like all other human beings. Buddha means "enlightened one". One respectfully honors the memory of The Buddha but one does not worship The Buddha. Generally. For the majority of Buddhists, it is not a religion, it is a philosophy.
When I walk out in my back yard and find a little helicopter hovering around taking photos of my house and yard, I am going to shoot it down unless it's clearly marked as a law enforcement drone.
If it's a commercial drone, it's going down. I'm going to get myself a.22 caliber pellet rifle. It's not a firearm but it will jack up a camera lens and or put a nice hole in a plastic fuel tank. Google has already crossed the line on every other avenue. I can see them trotting these out soon. If I'm not mistaken, they've been working with developing drones for quite some time already..
Yes I do know what the implications would be. We could have a world that would be SAFE from the vermin that is out to fuck everyone. I've been a victim of this bullshit and I'm fucking sick of it. Data breaches happen every day, many, many times a day.
Back in the old days someone had to stick a gun in your face to rob you. Now, spineless pussies sit in dark, dank basements and rob you with a mouse from halfway around the world or maybe next door to you.
Fuck them. Kill them and put an end to the problem. As they are killed off and the bodies pile up, the others that haven't been killed yet might start re-thinking their priorities and stop this bullshit.
Yeah. I'm pissed. And no, I am not a "bro". I'm a pissed off woman.
President Obama needs to assemble a SEAL team that goes out in the dark of night and KILLS the people that illegally hack networks and wreak havoc. Fucking KILL THEM. Please. The virus writers? Kill them. Spammers? Kill them too.. These people are vermin and scum and they deserve to die.
Just god damn kill them all. I am 1000% serious.
No judge, no jury, no posse comitatus, no debate. Threat detected? Deploy a hit team to go exterminate the cockroaches where ever they are. Be it in mommie's basement or corporate offices, put a fucking bullet in their heads.
and they are really botched up! Lucas has done the world and SW fans a great disservice by injecting all the digital CRAP into what were once great movies. Leave it the hell alone! Give us back the ORIGINAL, theatrical releases, as they were in the day, on Blu-ray without screwing with them!
I heard that Verizon puts Microsoft Skype on all their smartphones. That, is 100% unacceptable. I'm also very unhappy with the fact that Twitter is embedded into iOS 5 and can not be removed.
I intend to jailbreak my iPhone 5 just as I have jailbroken my previous iPhones (two gen1's and a 3GS) and it is my hope that I can strip these unwanted apps from my phone at that time. I do not play games of any kind and I do not want any games on my phone. And most of all, I want ad blocking. The embedded ad crap in iOS pisses me off, big times!!! I'm not going to share my limited and expensive bandwidth with ads that are 99% of the time irrelevant to me. I don't want ANYONE monitoring what I do with my smartphone or tracking my physical location or what I'm browsing online, it's no one's business. The number one reason I insist on jailbreaking is to regain control of my privacy and control over my limited and precious bandwidth. It's MY PHONE, I bought it, I paid for it, it's my property, it's PRIVATE and personal and I do not give anyone permission to stick their noses into anything I do. Not Apple, AT&T, Verizon, app developers, ISP's or anyone else, anywhere. Keep the f**k out of my business!
You just keep re-trying the invite. It took me an hour to get in after I got my invite. I used a plugin that just reloaded the page every 5 minutes until it came up with the "Fill in your info" screen..
I drive a car that's over 20 years old. It has no computers in it that could be hacked to do anything more harmful than cause me to have poor gas mileage. I could leave the keys laying on the hood in the parking lot of Walmart and no one would bother with it.
I don't care about luxury, I care about a simple old car that will get me 5 miles a month to the grocery store twice a month. I care that it's old and simple enough that I can find someone besides a NASA scientist to work on it if it breaks.
You want to drive tomorrow's technology? Go for it.. I'll stick with old faithful that no one wants to bother with. Best of all, it's long since paid for and I'm not in debt to ANYONE for ANYTHING.
Kitchenware. Yes please. A full set of pots, pans, plates, the works. I do not like cooking in or with metal because it leaves a metallic taste in the foods but using glassware, there is always the risk of breaking it and injuring someone. And Corningware changed their glass type and they now are prone to EXPLODE at all the wrong times and places.
I would gladly pay for a kitchen full of this stuff, it would last forever and solve many problems at in one.
How can I install a firewall and AV software on my iPhone 3gs ?
I've unlocked and jailbroken it so I can customize it MY way and use it on the carrier of MY choice but I really want more than just a wink and a promise from Apple that I'm safe.
I'm a 50yro woman and I have an iPhone. My 3rd one as a matter of fact.
1st one was a 1st gen that my son gave me. I promptly jailbroke and unlocked it for use on a non-AT&T system, on my on, without help from anyone.
My BFF dropped it and broke the screen so I bought another just like it on ebay. I also jailbroke and unlocked that one and installed *anything* I wanted on it.
About 6 months ago I bought a one month old 3gs on ebay and retired the previous iPhone to use as a remote control for my home theater. The new one, I jailbroke and unlocked it as well, just like the others before it.
For now, I am sitting with 3.1.3 on it, I'm doing my homework before I bump it up to 4.2.x. 3.1.3 is working fine for me and I'm in no big rush, I have other things to do that are much more important.
I love my iPhone. It's easy to use and easy to hack. I can put anything I want on it, do anything I want with it, use it in any way I wish. And I totally love my winterboard Tinkerbell theme.. My friends are all jealous..:-)
The droid stuff? I don't trust it, I don't trust google. But then again, I don't trust Apple much either. Apple makes some great products but their garden wall policies are draconian.
To the person who controls what his wife uses, how about you let her decide what she wants and then help her learn to take control of it so you don't have to "support her". How about you empower her with knowledge and give her freedom to make her own decisions and purchases?
EVERYTHING I ever get shipped to me via UPS comes in with the box smashed and torn. I'm amazed that anything survives the abuse they dish out on packages. And this time of year they use those golf cart ATV thingies with trailers to deliver. All the packages are towed around for miles with no tarps over them to protect them from the weather or to keep something from bouncing out of the little trailers they tow behind. I do NOT approve.
I hate them.
USPS gets things to me in much better shape but their tracking system SUCKS. You can NOT track the progress of a package, they do not update until it's on your porch. Worst tracking system of all.
Fed-ex is not bad, no real complaints with them. Decent tracking and stuff comes in in better shape than UPS.
DHL, I dont' like how they farm it out to some joker in a rental van. I don't trust that.
When I got my first one, I was a loooong time Centennial Wireless customer and was very happy with their service. Very happy. My son bought a new iPhone and gave me his 1st gen which I promptly popped my OLD Centennial SIM into (I had an old Nokia) then unlocked and jail broke it to work on Centennial. It worked like a charm though I had no wireless internet, never had it on the Nokia, never wanted it on the Nokia, it was too basic. So I had internet in my house, McDonalds, etc.. Good enough for me.
My BFF dropped it and broke it though and I bought another one just like it and repeated it all over again. Everything still cool.
Then I got tired of the slowness of the 1st gen and bought a used 3GS in like new condition on ebay. Again, I jailbroke it and unlocked it with Spirit. Still using the old Centennial / Nokia SIM. And still, no internet except via WIFI. Fine with me.
See, I have an awesome plan that they grandfathered me in on when AT&T (SUCKS) bought Centennial. For $29 a month I get 200 minutes a month outgoing and unlimited 24/7 incoming minutes. People can call and talk to me 24 hours a day and it doesn't cost me a cent. Why would I want to change that?
If I fess up to them that I have an iPhone they will force me into a new $100 a month plan that I do not want, can not afford and have no use for. I do not need internet when I'm driving. If I need internet when I'm away from home I'll pull into a McDonalds and use their WIFI and have a burger and a diet coke in exchange. But pay $40 a month for a limited voice plan and another $40 a month for a VERY LIMITED internet plan, NO WAY.
They can KMA.
I love that my phone is jailbroken so that I can customize it in anyway I want. I'm not giving up my Tinkerbell theme for anyone, they can go to hell. I'm still using 3.1.3 because I do not at all trust the new iOS4. I have heard they have a kill switch built into it to brick JB/UL'd phones.
I'm on Cydia however and I can not find the "SBSettingsAdBlockToggle" app..:(
I resent ads being injected into EVERYTHING on my iPhone. And I do not even use the internet through the cell system, I use it as a WIFI ONLY device and as a cell phone. When I'm not around my WIFI or a WIFI that I have permission to use, I have no internet, I have cell phone service only, BY MY CHOICE.
But the ads, I'm sick of it. Why doesn't someone take iOS and GUT the ad injection capability from it?
If nothing else, how about Mozilla for iPhone with Adblock Plus ?? I could dig that.

Odd.. I haven't ever seen an ad on Youtube and rarely see them anywhere else except my TV.
