Black Reuben Gtk / Metacity theme

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

I’ve been a great fan of the Reuben theme, originally by akka, in fact it is the only theme I’ve ever used on Linux. The other day I needed some change though, I’m also a sucker for dark themes, I hate the glare of white backgrounds, luckily Reuben is somewhat beige which takes the edge off the worst.... Read More

TNX and how to hide PR 0 pages

Friday, September 5th, 2008

At the moment my best money maker by far is TNX. Web devs are notorious for not clicking ads, the money I’m making from CPC is ridiculous, no one is clicking.


It was only when I started with TLA that I started seeing some money in my PayPal account, pitiful as the sums are they are still more than I make from for instance Ad-sense by far.... Read More

The Code strikes back

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

For the record, I refer to the people known below as “the guys” in an unfavorable manner, and to be fair it’s not just their fault. Lack of communication between us and them and whatever else it is I don’t know has resulted in them appearing to be completely off the charts on the C-axis, and we’re not talking the collaborator end here… At the time the below conversation took place I hadn’t really reflected much on the matter though and put more blame on them than they deserve....

Email Obfuscation Broken

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

About two weeks ago I tried a really simple way of obfuscating email. To me as a programmer it seemed a little bit naive because this scheme can be easily decoded. But Gmail does such a nice job of getting rid of spam these days anyway, I felt like I didn’t have much to lose. ... Read More

Bitchware and Envyware

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

I really like Ubuntu with apt-get and synaptic to manage and install software, the total freedom to customize and yadayada you’ve all heard it before. However, sometimes the experience is not so pleasant, crazy actually, the first incident happened in the very beginning of my Ubuntu usage about 2 years ago. The culprit then was Beryl (now Compiz Fusion). After installing Beryl on my Nvidia powered desktop machine at home it started to randomly freeze the living shit out of it in a completely random way. It’s a total horror to have the coolest windowing in the world and it isn’t working, so close but yet so far away! That was the first time I realized I was feeling something I had never felt before as a Windows user, or in this context for that matter, envy. ... Read More
