Monday, May 31st, 2010Hello there,

So today i deleted my account, for everyone who wants to follow and don’t find the permanent delete button, here it is: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account (i asume you are logged in already).
Done, none i am searching for a good photo album software to install on my website … anyone any idea?

New Ubuntu and binary
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010Good news,
The 10.10 release of Ubuntu will increase all kind of stats, network speed, hard disk size and so on. And no one need to do any kernel magic for that
What i am talking about is that 10.10 will have finally implemented the binary norm from 1998 and now there is a difference between 1000MB and 1024MB so only fields where it is really necessary like counting the memory it will be kept in binary counting. All human readable values like hard disk, network bandwidth and so on will be counted in 10 system. To make that clear 1MB will be in the future 1000kB, and in binary counting 1MiB will be 1024KiB so the ‘i’ is the new part the signalize binary counting. That should make calculating much more easy and help the USB-Stick sellers to finally have the right size for free
(previous 1G stick was 931MB) now a 1G stick will have exact 1000MB ^^

Hello world,
more precise hello you people using FaceBook. I just deleted 95% of my FaceBook friends, that is not meant personal in any way, thats just a step further in my web 2.0 diet. Its pretty useless to collect 200+ friends who don’t use FB to communicate with me at all, i just use FB myself mostly for sharing pictures (free space).
I decide as well to keep my privacy on lower level, btw. if you are setting FB on ‘only me’ or ‘only friends’ plus deny any 3rd parties to see your private data (needs applications totally disabled) FB is pretty good locked. If you using the site be aware that i can write an FaceBook app, that does a stupid ‘intelligence’ test, i will not only see a lot of your private data but also the data off all your friends, to avoid that (friends mess up in giving all ‘their’ private details away, but also get lots of mine) you need to disable apps completely…
For all the communication junkies out there, i love old style media like mail, short messages, XMPP or even MSN.
For all the BLUG members, i still love you all, even if you not any longer in my friend list
Cheers

my page got hacked
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Well, i luckily call myself a programmer and not admin, so i don’t feel to bad about what happend ^^
Today i noticed that my Firefox plugin NoScript reported a script that should be executed at my blog, as its my blog i know i never add such a thing. So i checked and now the one year not updateing my WP hit back straight in my face, i was hacked
After checking my server i could confirm that it is just a WP hack (hopefully), most likely i cough one of these WP worms that a recently going around for old WP installations. It was anyway time to do a fresh reinstall, this time i decide to install straight out from the SVN, not the trunk, but the last stable, now i just need to do:
svn co http://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/2.<new release> .
to keep up to date, i also installed some interesting plugins, and paranoid as i am now read the code in detail of all that plugins
hopefully this will keep a while running. Soon i will add the old posts as well, and try to post a little more often than before.
Cheers
