Ok, this will be a short blog entry, but I was kind of amused to read about the exsistance of “ICQ Gods” here! Hehehe! 🙂

Aren’t we all just normal users? 🙂

I just found by accident when reporting bugs in the beta forum of latest Opera 9 beta, actually this thread which speaks about how to speedup the site display!

There are two requirements:

-broadband internet (the thread suggests 4 M/bit or up)
-a fast PC (because the CPU load rises a lot with the new settings when displaying a site!).

I will keep track of it, and if it disturbs too much other processes while surfing, I will reset it to its defaul setting! But I find it amazing anyway! 🙂

After months of being unhappy with my temporary Technorati workaround which didn’t work with MSIE though, I finally recently received a reply from Technorati support with the solution I would like to quote here:

“Hi Joerg,

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.

Please try adding the following line to your stylesheet:

#te_s label {display:block}

I believe it will have the effect you’re looking for.

Please respond to this email if you need additional assistance.

Thanks for using Technorati!

Regards,

Ben”

After so many month, finally adding a small attribute to my blog template’s stylesheet fixed it! 🙂

Now it works in any browser and I found this way also a small error in the stylesheet which I fixed.

If you experience any problem with the changes, please let me know!

I really found it funny when I received this “update notification”.

This, one normally should receive, once an ICQ 5 Xtra got updated. So far so good, I have my ICQ running nearly daily and today for the first time ever I have received an Xtra update notification!

And it’s not really an update on Find-A-Date but rather promoting it, with a sentence that reads:

“Be this winter, when it’s cold outside, not alone inside.”

! 😀

I am sorry to say that, but my forum is down at the moment! 🙁

I have received today the following email:

“Dear Members,

We had updated all the forums to the latest stable version.
This update fix several found bugs and security holes for older phpbb.

We hope the regular & prompt update will provide a good & exploit free board environment for you and your members.

Enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

Cheers,
Blogforum Admin”

And somehow it smashed it! 🙁 :

“phpBB : Critical Error

Error doing DB query userdata row fetch

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1146 Table ‘blogforu_phpbb.nfm_sessions_keys’ doesn’t exist

SELECT u.* FROM nfm_users u, nfm_sessions_keys k WHERE u.user_id = 2 AND u.user_active = 1 AND k.user_id = u.user_id AND k.key_id = ‘e5b2a00921fb481152e7cb8c8448aa38’

I have sent an email to them to let them know and I hope they will fix it very soon!

I have recently spotted something interesting!

After IM spam, email spam and spam comments and spam offering spam, there is personalized spam wishing you Happy Birthday! Haha! 🙂

Did you know that the heros of the bureaucracy are able to track which printer was used to print a document?

Yup I am not joking with, but sure shocking you to prove you that many printers print hiddden codes on the paper which indicate which printer was used to print that document.

For more details please check the List of Printers Which Do or Don’t Print Tracking Dots

My printer is not listed, hope that’s a good sign! O:-)

Some day I was visiting a Commodore 64 related homepage (see: What is a Commodore 64?)), I clicked on an “empty banner” of the Commodore 64 Banner Exchange and got lead to the following homepage:

and I had to laugh a lot and shake my head pretty much! I mean, this banner exchange is sure not meant to promote questionable online poker and casino game internet portals! 😀

That’s also a way to make promotion, and sure not a good one…

Well, I have finally received a reply from Nvidia to the USB Legacy issue.

So in total, it looks like this:

MSI Taiwan” wrote:

Please notice if customer have below problem.

I ever heard a bug if customer didn’t set Keyboard/Mouse USB Legacy
support to enable or disable at same time.

System will need around 5 mins to enter OS.

When you set these two items to enable or disable at same time and it
solve.

It is Nvidia chipset limitation.”

“Nvidia” wrote:

The nForce4 Ultra Media Communications Processor can support Legacy USB Keyboard/Mouse function. NVIDIA customers other than MSI have this function working for legacy devices so this is a MSI BIOS issue.

In general, this does not sound like a chip problem but System BIOS issue or implementation limitation.

So, it’s funny, the responsible for this is moved between MSI to Nvidia back on forth. I think I will better connect my devices on PS/2, instead!

I just found it funny and so, I thought I would post it here! 🙂
