Slowest Support Ever!

I don’t know how much of you have noticed, but in February I added Technorati to my blog.

And then suddenly, they changed the system and it messed up the Technorati placed on my site panel. Due to reasearch on the Technorati WebLog, I found the reason.

Since then, the problem is that under most circumstances, the search box’s button is misplaced heavily!

I have told this to Technorati support and totally confused them! 😀 plus they are heavily slow.

my email on June, 28ththeir reply on June, 6th:

“Are you still having these problems with your Technorati embed on your blog?

Dave”

That’s funny, it’s like: “Let’s wait some weeks, maybe the problem fixed itself…” 😀

So, I wrote back on June, 6ththeir reply on July, 14th:

“Joerg —

I’m not sure I understand the problem. Are you wishing there *was* a break in between “Search
this blog” and the form? Or that there wasn’t?

— Derek”

Ok, I am sorry for my confusion. And they are right, my original issue (that the emended Technorati didn’t display at all sometimes) wasn’t anylonger valid, but for the confusion:

I have written them my blog’s URL, and I seriously hope they have eyes?!

Will they ever get my problem fixed? Will their next reply arrive before August?

Questions over questions! We can only wait (and I should pray a bit).

Nafcom is happy though…

…that’s true!

I found this entry at E-Monk’s blog:

Friday, July 15th, 2005
. Nafcom is happy though, he’s leaving Germany for the first time in his life for a short vacation in Sweden.

But that’s not entirely true. I have been abroad before, in Denmark, Austria and France 🙂

Ah and my current mood fits:

Base Mood cheerful
Personal Mood Sweden soon! Yeah! 🙂 Holidays! heheheh 😛
Mood Changed Jul 9, 2005

But I won’t reveal more details 🙂

UPDATE: He has altered it:

Nafcom is happy though, he’s going abroad by himself for the first time, to visit a friend and have a short vacation in Sweden

@Night: Orkut Down, Blogger Slow!


Uh? What is that? It always appears at night sine the recent couple of days! Does this mean Orkut gets a better server?
And why does this effect GMail to no longer let you login and blogger is slow, very very slow? Does this mean all three services are on the same server?

We all only can guess! But I hope for a change to the better in Orkut’s case! 🙂 I will cross my fingers! 😀

Gmail limits attachment size

I don’t know since when this is the case, but as some might remember I am using GMail drive quite often!

A couple of days ago, I wanted to upload a file to my GMail drive telling me that gmail limited attachments size now to 10 MB! What the heck? Now, that GMail seems to be in its end of the beta phase, they cut down features! :'(

Yesterday, I received spam from AIM Mail offering me 2 GB (so same as Gmail which has at the moment 2 GB-something (2396 MB as present) but 16 MB attachment size limit.
They only support IMAP not POP3. I hate IMAP, since it happpens if you get a sync error that in the email client you have a foler that in the web interface you have not!
But who cares? Unfortunately their Knowledge Base sucks, but after doing some searches I found the details to setup the IMAP for browsers.
And tell you what? It didn’t tell me I had to put the password transmission protocol for IMAP to plaintext. otherwise to re-check for new emails, one would have to close and re-open one’s email client all the time!

But what, it works now! 🙂 Now I only need big attachments 😛

ICQ Users! Please join in, vote and write about it!

The problem:

costumized status of ICQ 5 clients display as “Online” for non-ICQ 5 users.
When they did that in April, (because before April, it displayed costumized status as “away” for non-ICQ5 contacts and all was well!), 5 contacts of mine wrote “Hellooooo, why you don’t reply to me? Did I do anything wrong? becuase they saw me as “online” and not as “away” while I am in a costumized status!

That is horrible!

So please Please join in, vote and write about it! Thank you in advance!

First SuperCPU C64 Game Out: Metal Dust!

After 9 years of waiting is the first SuperCPU64 game for the Commdore 64 (in short: C64) computer ever released.
It’s called Metal Dust and it’s a shoot’em up game shipped on either 4 3.5″ DD or 2 3.5″ HD disks.

Me myself has pre-ordered the game in year 2000 and finally ordered it in October 2004.

So, you need a C64 computer and a Super CPU which speeds up the C64 to 20x of its original speed and supplies up to 16 MB RAM (Metal Dust needs 4 MB as system requirement)

All info including sceenshots and a trailer and photos of the boxing can be found out their Metal Dust homepage (click title of this blog entry!).

It’s absolutely amazing what a speed up device and a 3.5″ floppy lets make a 23 years old computer do, the game is tough, and *cough* I am definately not a good shoot’em up player (I more go for racing games!), but thanks to the hidden “boring” I found by accident (before I even knew it exsisted), I can start with a lot of lives now, heheh 😎

Furthermore an old pal will pop by at the end of July, he is a better player, so we will shoot the ENEMIES INTO DUST! Muhahahaha! 🙂

The most amazing me is how much details they have put into the game, including digitalized power-up speech voice, sfx and sound tracks in all 4 levels sang by the band Wave of Earth.

Ah I have written a first impression (review) about this game here 🙂

Publishing label is Protovision.

On the backsite of the Metal Dust box (as you can see on the photo above (click on it enlages it!), they even sent out a greeting to Scene World, a C64 magazine published on diskette! 😉

Thanks to Protovision for the greeting on the box! 😎

Y Cord Hunts PC Down!

As mentioned earlier, there are sometimes pretty funny but some are pretty hard to guess. like a HDD would hang but only if you do something for which you need heavy HDD usage. while the normal working nothing will happen, until you make something heavy. (and HDD hangs means Windows crashes).

It happens 2-3 times a day, then stops and my PC works fine again! Until I got the idea to replace the Y power cable! And now my PC works again! =)

Stunning!
