Windows Vista, despite it’s SP1 really sucks in terms of network compatibility … read the simple trick to make Microsoft applications find “localhost” (commonly used for spam filters) again

Now this is an insightful comment from a US client this morning :-)

Good for you that your are expanding.

You should think about outsourcing to the United States or hiring the 6 th person overseas. The US is the new India for the EU economy J

Instead of hediging via bank’s instruments (and paying them big $$$ for that which I’m still trying to setup)

I could try just hedge via labor cost ….

nice idea and obviously with work-laws in the US a lot more flexible than currency options running for 3/6/12 months :-)

hmmm.. your 2c ?

Wordpress blog hack rampage

Fri, 03/28/2008 - 11:30 — Christoph C. Cemper

I received an abnormal high number of signals and messages from people abandoning their Wordpress blogs,

because of their hacks, just like Fridaynite did .

It appears to me that simply because there are so many vulnerable Wordpress installations out there, it became a promising goal

to hack Wordpress installs and

inject some HTML code (for links)
inject WHOLE POSTS into the wordpress archives (backdated)

put in some cookie-stuffing code in to overwrite affiliate links’ credits

Drupal6 is here - why we're not upgrading...

Wed, 02/20/2008 - 12:47 — Christoph C. Cemper

So DRUPAL6 was released last week finally – this is the GO for all module developers (like us) and heavy drupal users (like us)

to set aside their “normal” business (which is NOT drupal maintenance, consulting or else) and plan for DOZENs of hours and days

to upgrade all their sites…

Frankly,

we are running DRUPAL 4.x sites

we are running DRUPAL 5.x sites

and we will be running the new company site for cemper.com on Drupal 6 soon (postponed launch for DP6)

BUT, I will not and cannot commit to an upgrade mania solely to generate work and say we’re running recent versions

Once every year a new web hoster horror story comes along…

Getting your replacement ink cartridges online.

It's hard to imagine that anyone with an inkjet printer hasn't at some time had their printer run out of ink, only to find themselves without a replacement ink cartridge. Whether you just use your computer at home for pleasure or as part of your business this can be a really frustrating experience. At best not having a replacement ink cartridge might mean you can't print some information off the internet; or at worse if you're a business user you might not be able to process a letter to clinch a business opportunity. You now also have to spend not only money but your precious time shopping around to get your replacement ink cartridges. The convenient way to get replacement ink cartridges today is, of course, to do it online.
