BARCODE WAS INVENTED!
Hey! It’s been ages since I last made a proper blog post (: So I decided to create a little “share” and random interest article today. Well before going into all this, I just got a letter from Google Adsense. Its nothing much or anything concerning, but its just “Woah!” getting a letter from Google. Especially since they randomly shoved their trademarked logo all over the place.
Important Account Information Enclosed
Wow, thats a big give away to place on the front of a letter don’t you think?
This sounds totally nerdy and geeky, but I find it cool 
Besides this, I’m still trying to hunt for my Wave invitation somewhere… (don’t ask, I used multiple e-mail accounts).
The 'Patrick' Bay
Back To Biz. If you haven’t noticed yet, Google homepage had a facelift with a new barcode logo representing the “Invention of the barcode”. Somehow this article seems a bit pro-Google, but going on… its always fascinating seeing Google homepage logo change according to seasonal events You should check out some of their videos in YouTube when you get a chance (E.g. Working Life In Google xD). I would presume that barcode logo stands for GOOGLE when parsed.
In other news, its also amusing seeing The Pirate Bay logo change once in a while to random Online Memes, Historical Events,
News, etc. Its currently standing strong showing “The Patrick Bay” marking a tribute to reputable Patrick Swayze. The image itself holds its own significance and we’re all glad TPB is once again, still alive.
After being chased by various anti-piracy groups, The Pirate Bay returned a few hours ago. “Nobody puts The Pirate Bay in a corner,” they say on their frontpage , referencing Patrick Swayze’s famous line in Dirty Dancing. Not in a corner, no, but what about a bunker?

The Pirate Bay Additional Stuff
The funny thing about all this is that, TPB is actually being hosted in a nuclear bunker at the moment, in which you can read more from the link above to TorrentFreak.com. Just to stirl up a bit of interest and perhaps make you go “WOW I DIDN’T KNOW THAT”, TPB also offer other services/interests besides its amazing Public Torrent Tracking service. These services/affiliates are placed in the most obvious place that most user(s) do not bother taking a look at… the footer.
Now, let’s go over them, one by one. For those that are completely paranoid in clicking such links in fear of getting “RICK ROLL’D” or perhaps raped by random “Gay Porn (Meatspinning) or GNAA”, then perhaps this post should shed some light. Clearly, serving hundreds of visitors everyday, this would not be logical. The link names themselves are quite self-explanatory, Login, Register.
TPB DOODLES.
Now, turn your attention to “Legal Threats“. If your clearly opting for some humour at any point of the day, have a browse through some of these e-mails, letters and legal threats made to TPB that has been posted. Funny thing about all this is that its being displayed and nothing is being done against it, so well done TPB 
Now we move to “Blogs” which is clearly… blogs. This is another interesting link you can visit to find out whats happening behind the scenes, etc.
Another interesting link to check out besides that, is their Doodles. This is basically a place for them to place or the previous logo changes upon special events. Great for amusement and memory
The rest are pretty basic and may be of interest to you, including their Forums. They have quite a fine community, so its perhaps worth a look at. One of the last few services that catches most of my activity on is Slopsbox, BayImg and PasteBay.
Instead of me elaborating on what Slopsbox is, just take a look at their description about it.
What is Slopsbox™ and why do you need it?
Slopsbox is your temporary mailbox, the e-mail address you use to register for random services. It’s a long-finger up the butt to spammers who wants your real e-mail. Slopsbox™ is the inbox you don’t care about. But Slopsbox™ cares about you, your privacy and we want your spam, because we think it’s tasty!
Slopsbox™ is great when you need to retrieve the information from an e-mail but don’t want to reveal your identity.
Fuck you Sir Spamalot!
Yes, as it states, its just a temporary mailbox storage for you to check mail (not send). Personally I find it great for “fake registering” accounts, which I “do not” recommend The main intentions is obviously to fight spam (: so don’t listen to me 
. So just send an e-mail to omgianblog@slopsbox.com, open that mailbox up in slopsbox.com and you can see it there. Services like these are normally hard to find, as always, its due to maintaining it as well as user abuse. If you have a forum, you better be blocking such mail providers (:
BayImg, a great site for you to be uploading your images to, regardless of the content’s ‘explicit level’, it will not be removed. I do not need to explain what type of images these are now do I. Its a fine alternative to ImageShack or whatever image hosters your currently using.
BayWords, I do not use this however its a great online tool to help user(s) express their freedom of speech without censorship or denial. Its free and simple to use with thousands of articles already posted. I forgot to mention, but most of these are under http://forum.suprbay.org/, i’m just so glad TPB posted those links on their footer or I would had never knew some of them. I believe you already understand that the use of .ORG domains represents non-profit organisations.
In addition to all these we have the latest (http://final.ipredator.se/) iPREdator. If you haven’t notice how all these services are linking up to privacy, censorship, freedom of oppression, copyright, or whatever then your clearly not thinking hard enough.
IPREDator is a network service that makes people online more anonymous using a VPN. it costs 5 EUR a month and we store no traffic data.
our service has become very popular and we’re therefor cautious to not make it slow.
that’s why we add capacity all the time and invite people when we have capacity for them.
the network is under our control. not theirs. the pirate bay likes and knows real kopimism. and waffles.
Hopefully I did not totally pwn everyone from this redundant (in a bad way) blog post. But its great if you have surplus of time and need a quick way to burn them (: (Hooray! for 1000+ words in this post).
Stay tune for more humans
P.S. Liked the featured article image for this post? Its from DeviantArt.com.
Also, I’m a jQuery freak just so you know (: so stop asking.
Its All About The HISTORY.
Posted by MrSaints in Horrible Critics, Spotlight Sunday, 13 September 2009 18:54 2 Comments
What can I say? History is just one darn good subject to learn (: If you read my previous Tweet about the thousands that rallied against Obama as he was some what, “leading the United States down the road to socialism”. Then you would know what I’m talking about. Not too long ago, in my history class, we studied about the issues Franklin D. Roosevelt faced, which included those that felt the “New Deal” was doing too much or too little, as well as the dispute in the Supreme Court. I do recall reading a part of the textbook that stated people referring FDR to communist leaders of the 1930s, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini. Well due to the fact, capitalism is ruling the 21st Century and this decade at the moment, there’s perhaps no chance to refer to Kim Jong-Il or any other communist leaders, so what?
Lois Calzone from Maryland carried a poster showing Obama painted as Batman character “the Joker” with the captions “Un-American” and “cap and traitor.
Yes guys. Lets refer to the Batman character Joker.
As you can clearly see, History is repeating itself once more, and Obama is now remarked as being “Un-American” and to some degree a “Traitor”. For all I know, whatever you do, there’s always someone totally unsatisfied, at this rate nothing will be fixed.
Reading on, I have noticed that once again… Obama, for the Democrats is faced with the same questions Roosevelt faced. Where did you get the money from?
“He is a traitor. He’s either a Marxist or a Communist and we’re not. He’s totally un-American,” Calzone told AFP.
“I think Saudi Arabia is behind him. Where did he get all that money to fund his campaign?” she said.
Clearly there’s no need for such ludicrous and ridiculous statement which I do believe most people woud agree. No offense intended anyhow. And now…
“Abortion is not healthcare,” read one sign. Another, held aloft by an immigrant from Ukraine, said: “I had enough of socialism in the USSR.”
Woah… where did that came from? So yea, I find this rally totally pointless and its perhaps a complete replay of what happened in the 1930s except it wasn’t the “New Deal coming your way”, its “YES WE CAN”.
On a side note, thank you whoever was the one that voted 1 star for the “Do Not Ask Me” post (: It was real nice of you *cough I know who you are*. Also, I’ll try and update some posts when i get the time, perhaps try to add the pictures for the Packet Sector CMS posts back…. manually. Besides that, I’ll leave it to the automated Mr.Aerosol Digest to continuosly digest all those Lifestream updates.
P.S. Check out my uber cool sexy iPod Touch Skin (Whitoken) which took me almost a good 2 hours to setup successfully, yea… http://twitpic.com/hi0ch
And obviously, the credits to the credits to the research on this post, a good history lesson with Mr.Kinvig and…
Twitter.com (@Braiden, for tweeting about it and catching my attention). And not to forget, the main source, Yahoo! News. I believe I have attributed enough (:

The Packet Sector CMS – Ancient Stuff.

We will not be held liable for any further charges.
Firstly, I would like to acknownledge Cris (aka CrisTheWind), original founder of Packet Sector and The Packet Sector Networks (etc – despite the fact it wasn’t open for long), for making this CMS possible today Alongside with me he was helping out with the SVN commits and working with me to make this a great CMS which was unfortunetly never used
This was a project I worked on during my times with FrozoneCMS as well as the planning of upcoming Serenade 2.0. It helped me a lot with practicing and putting into action variou jQuery techniques and skills as well as PHP (despite the fact I wasted around $5 for Assembla D:).
Just recently I have posted a small video (which didn’t turn out so good thanks to the poor render) taking a sneak peak around the CMS. You can check it out on YouTube, I have embedded the video below, enjoy.
Now instead of talking a whole lot of crap and turning your attention away I’ll just go brief to the point. When Cris and I first planned out this CMS, it seemed like a lot of work and back then I wasn’t really strong and farmilliar with OOP. One of the main guidelines on the construction of this OdinMS CMS was that it was to be attractive, User-Friendly, Browser Compatible as well as further capabilities with 3rd Party systems like SHOUTcast. The CMS is an almost full-fledged ajax powered site (including registration + login). Alongside with an extensive control panel (several control panel to be precise) as well multiple functions and features to help accessibility.
For security, the class dealt with proper error handling as well as potential SSL capabilities and a complete visitor tracking system with Geo Location. So, instead of this constant talk, I’ll just let the pictures do the talking, enjoy!

A whole new level of HABBO.
Posted by MrSaints in Horrible Critics, Spotlight Tuesday, 21 July 2009 06:06 4 Comments
Hi there! I do apologize for the high use of profanity in my previous blog entry. Now I will be talking about something really really interesting. Yes, Habbo Hotel. Except this is not really Habbo Hotel, in my opinion, its safe to call it, Habbo Reality due to its completely modified gaming experience.
To start with, Habbo Roleplay (Basically the name of it currently) or otherwise known as Otaku Hotel from the creators network Otaku-Studios.com, is a whole new level to Habbo. As most of us know, during registration in Habbo Hotel, we may put any name we want, here at HabboRP, they take on a strict policy to 
make use of realistic names (primarily your own name!), so mine is Ian-Li. Besides that, the basic character dressing is remains natural.
Additional features in this roleplay Habbo (which I do believe was adapted from GTA:SA) are jobs, taxis and even properties! As this game is still in its BETA period, most features are not yet completed, which were hinted at (e.g. Building, Stock Exchange).
This Habbo features hundreds of portals and is the ultimate online virtual reality. The complete HabboRP is supposedly manually created and includes shops, workplaces and even flats, houses and apartments.
As like humans, we require the necessity of sleeping and eating, and like HabboRP, our Habbos require enough rest and a proper diet! Locations such as Banks and Hospitals are present as well for us to manage our financial needs or perhaps get a healing or surgery after a harsh assault by another Habbo.
And only just recently, the developers had announced a brand new VIP system as well as Boxing?
This is the ultimate Habbo experience, and I strongly do recommend users to try this out to escape from the standard boring old Habbo experience of visiting other users room and making rooms or mazes.
One thing that fascinates me too, is that, there is no easy way out! This is almost like the World itself. The jobs present are realistic in function as well as in wage. YOU CAN GET HUNGRY. YOU CAN GET SICK. YOU CAN GET TIRED. And YOU WILL HAVE TO walk to your destination or go shopping in the Habbo world.
Hmmm…. There’s a picture of me getting attacked, what a coincidence, cause I wasn’t expecting it. Anyways, more pictures!
The day, it went all wrong.

Sorry, had to remove any specifics.
Well for those that small my Twitter update the other day about GIS website getting hacked. Really, it wasn’t me.
I have no idea or no relationship to what had happened but it sure was funny. According to what I see in the source, I’m guessing the titles for pages and sections are store on the database and easily configured through an admincp I presume?
Well that is a good way of management I guess, but lols. I’m sure going to love keeping this on my blog (left).
It was really disgraceful though. Mainly because they hired professionals to design the website and also because it was coded in ASP. ASP in my opinion is a great web language to be coding websites such as GIS’ one in. Security wise, tends to be very invulnerable (still exploitable though!). Surprisingly, this one was exploited right after it came out of beta.
As this blog is part of the private domain and we do not want to embarass any “organization” or “person” in particular, I attempted to remove any specifics, thus as a disclaimer I am not liable to any sort of punishment or complains as this may refer to almost anything since the abbreviation GIS can refer to anything. In addition to this, there is no direct linking to the specific Twitter update available on this post.
Seems like GIS is a prime target from hackers seeing as their MOODLE (Content Management System) had been crashed in the past and even rolled back. Apparently this time they fixed their website within a period of 24 hours.
Time to do something about this and pump up the security! I don’t blame Moodle however, it is exploitable And there are many scripts out there to do the job.
