The Novatech website is shit

19/01/2012 – 10:45

Just popped on to the Novatech site to check some prices and noticed how shit it is. For example, if you look at SSDs there is no capacity category, you can only filter by price range or manufacturer. That was crappy back in 1998, and 14 years later it is pretty much unforgivable. Novatech isn’t [...]

Google can’t spell

24/09/2011 – 23:06

Been a bit slow with updates lately. Anyway, apparently Google can’t spell: Google tries to make suggestions based on what it has scanned from web pages, but it seems that they didn’t filter out common errors… Google, U R TEH DUMB LOL Still, Google docs is excellent. Now you can upload any filetype I [...]

Fixing PHP in HTML files on Knet

21/07/2011 – 18:52

Knet recently updated something and broke my .htaccess file which was allowing PHP in .html files. Spent ages looking for a solution and eventually found this on a random blog post: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 /cgi-sys/php5 .php .htm .html Update 03/08/2011: They broke it again, this is now required to fix: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .htm .html

Transfer Read It Later to Instapaper

28/12/2010 – 19:06

I decided to switch from ReadItLater.com to Instapaper and needed to move all my links over. There does not seem to be any way to do it so I made one. Simply run the following script, entering your personal data in the relevant places: curl -k “https://readitlaterlist.com/v2/get?username=[user]&password=[pass]&apikey=[key]&since=1245638446″ >ril.txt tr “{}” “\n ” <ril.txt >ril2.txt tr [...]

Google does not check Street View removal requests

11/11/2010 – 17:06

All you need to submit a content removal request for images on Google Street View is an email address. The is no other validation, meaning you can remove anything you want to. Well, perhaps not anything… The Albert Hall might be going too far (unless you claim to be a person in the image) but [...]

25/06/2010 – 19:31

In the EU everything electrical comes with a two year warranty. I bought an MSF receiver module on eBay. It arrived from overseas and it took me a couple of weeks to get around to testing it when I realised it did not work. I opened a PayPal dispute and they closed it because it [...]

Bliss Box violating my copyright, GPL and more

13/05/2010 – 17:26

I just spotted this: http://spawnlinux.dyndns.org/Bliss-Box/technical.html It violates my copyright on some of the images such as the schematic and connector diagrams. It also violates the GPL by using V-USB and not publishing the relevant code. Chances are it probably uses some of my GPL’ed code, and the author admitted that it is based off some [...]
