Anzeige wegen 5-Stern Youtube Rating

blog — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:42:38 +0000

Auf der Webseite des Sundance Grande mountain resort & spa ist ein Promo Video im Header eingebunden. Darin sah nun jemand ein Problem, da das Video ein 5-Sterne Rating hat, der Betrieb jedoch ein 4-Sterne Betrieb ist. Irreführung und weiß Gott was wurde hier erwähnt. Erklärungsversuche, dass es sich hierbei nur um das Rating des Videos, nicht aber um die Sterne des Betriebes handle halfen offensichtlich nichts. Es kam eine Anzeige.

Manche Internetbenutzer sollten die Finger von Dingen lassen, die sie nicht verstehen.

Keeping SSH Session Alive

blog — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:42:31 +0000

Preventing a SSH connection from dropping while you are inactive or waiting for a script to finish is quite easy. If you are on a Ubuntu or Debian client you only have to add one line to
/etc/ssh/ssh_config ServerAliveInterval 5
In OSX the config file for ssh can be found in /etc/ssh_config.

Actually this line sends a keep-alive packet to the server every 5 seconds. You can change the interval as you like, but for me it works best with 5 seconds.

Alternatively you can also use the parameter when connecting to the remote host. The command looks like this:
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=10

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer Lyrics

blog — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:24:05 +0000

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

She’d been drinkin’ too much egg nog
And we’d begged her not to go
But she’d left her medication
So she stumbled out the door into the snow

When they found her Christmas mornin’
At the scene of the attack
There were hoof prints on her forehead
And incriminatin’ Claus marks on her back

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walkin’ home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now were all so proud of Grandpa
He’s been takin’ this so well
See him in there watchin’ football
Drinkin’ beer and playin’ cards with cousin Belle

It’s not Christmas without Grandma
All the family’s dressed in black
And we just can’t help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walkin’ home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of pig
And a blue and silver candle
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig

I’ve warned all my friends and neighbors
Better watch out for yourselves
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walkin’ home from our house, Christmas eve
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe!

Waterdrops captured at 2000fps

blog — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:43:08 +0000

The video shows the weird behavior of water drops when they fall into a pool of water. They don’t directly merge with the rest of the water, instead they start bouncing off the surface for several times becoming smaller and smaller. With the help of the special slow motion video camera used, this effect can be shown.

Generating a is.gd url using PHP

blog — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:46:25 +0000

I was just adjusting a plugin on my blog, when I needed to shrink urls on the fly with is.gd.
function getShortUrl($url) { $c = curl_init(); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=' . $url); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 3); $ret = curl_exec($c); curl_close($c); return $ret; }

Have fun generating those links.

PS3 Slimline shots leaks out

blog — Thu, 14 May 2009 17:24:33 +0000

If you believe in these pictures, it is obvious that there is a slimline PS3 coming. These shots were taken in a chinese factory.

The logo is very different from the actual one. Maybe it is just a fake?!
If you look close, you can see that it has a 120GB hard disc.

The bottom enclosure.

The top enclosure. It is not shining at all and looks a bit cheap. It can be that it is not finished yet.

The top enclosure from the front. The bubble says, that the slot can glow.

The backside of the casing. Can figure out any new connections from this image.

Installing Adobe Flash Plugin in Mozilla Prism on Linux

blog — Sun, 10 May 2009 14:10:47 +0000

Today I gave Prism a try. I have several websites, which need a proxy to get access, but for others I don’t want to use the proxy at all. So I created a new configuration to have the site available in one click. After starting up the first time, I realized, that the Adobe Flash plugin is not installed. After stumbling around the web I found out that basically only the libflashplayer.so needs to be copied to the plugins folder of Prism.

This is a bit tricky, because there is no plugins folder in Prism by default. So I started with
root@HASS:/opt/prism# mkdir plugins
for creating the folder in the right place.

Next I tried to locate the Flash plugin file with
locate libflashplayer.so

As a result i got
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

The next step was copying this found file over to the newly created plugins folder
cp /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so plugins/.

From what I saw, this problem does not happen on other platforms.
