Photoshop, what is it?
Posted by Yui in Stepping Stones, Your Story Sunday, 20 September 2009 02:14 6 Comments
Well, what is Photoshop? Photoshop is a software used by Beginners to Professionals. You can use it for almost anything, create almost anything from scratch. I will provide a link to Photoshop at the bottom of my post.
Why use Photoshop over other softwares?
Well Photoshop is more versatile, sure it may look a tad bit complex but you’ll get used to it. The free alternatives never perform as well as Photoshop. Basically put in internet/slang/gangster terms. Photoshop is DA SHIZ! You know what I mean.
In Photoshop you have many tools which you can use. You can download gradients, brushes, fonts, .psd’s and other things to use with Photoshop. Have you ever looked in a magazine and saw an amazing advert and you sayto yourself,
‘ How’d they do that?!’ The most likely answer is Photoshop, everyone that ‘does’ graphics probably uses Photoshop if they can find it. Personally I’ve used Photoshop for a long time but really haven’t had the time to master it. There are many sites dedicated to Photoshop tutorials which I’ll link at the bottom aswell.
Most sites make there layouts in Photoshop and then incorporate them into the programming files. When I’m bored I play around with Photoshop and see if I can find anything new that I didn’t know about. Basically put this is one of the best ways to learn how to use Photoshop, explore, use and edit.

Important notes:
- I will not be held liable for any damages or problems you may occur during the course of this guide. It worked for me, so if it doesnt for you, then you’re probably doing something wrong.
- If you want to know how to do this on a partition, or you want to know how to create a partition, just post a comment.
Steps to your very own working copy of Windows 7:
- Download the files.
- (Optional but reccomended) Use Portable Internet Download Manager to download Windows 7 RTM
- Burn the .iso you have downloaded on to a disc. Make sure you burn it as an image, and not just copy the file over, as that will not work.
- Keeping the disc in your CD drive, restart your computer.
- After a while it should say “Press any key to boot from CD/DVD” . Press any key.
- It will take a while to load the files and will start installing after the initial load and after your have chosen your settings.
- Once you have finished installing, extract w7lxe bodmas.zip on to your desktop.
- Right-click and select “Run as administrator” .
- Let the programme work it’s magic…. When it’s done, it will ask you to reboot your computer. Do so.

Ian says… Google Proxy!
Posted by MrSaints in Spotlight, Stepping Stones Wednesday, 16 September 2009 23:09 2 Comments
So your sitting on your computer, in school, at work, or even at home (but thanks to your parents, its all blocked!), and yes, its all blocked! You can’t access YouTube, nor can you access awesome flash games or other social networking sites. Have no fear! Google.com is here.
Most of the time, finding a reliable web proxy based on Zelune, Glype, PHProxy, CGIProxy or whatever may be difficult. There’s a high chance you may run into a site packed with ads and stupid popups (Haha I had one with ads on the side saying, Find Someone For You In KUALA LUMPUR – It was all white chicks xDD LOL strange… cause I never seen that many whites in Malaysia; *points* especially those blondes!).
So the point is, its just not easy finding good proxy now a days unless your using your own or perhaps one that you know of for a while now. Personally, I have my own proxy (here), but I prefer to keep it private and underused. That way, there’s more for me and less chances it’ll be placed in block rules or crawled into by Search Engines (I did add an ignore/block for all search engine bots to my proxy directory).
Drawing some conclusions… In case you didn’t know, Google.com actually provides a proxy… well not directly! I can almost garauntee you that you had used it before even without knowing! Its the Translator Tool.
Most of the time, I meet with YouTube videos that are “Blocked in your country due to copyright infringments”, the only possible and least troublesome way around this for me, is Google.com’s Translator.
Simply navigate yourself to Google.com Translator Tools and place the address under “Translate a web page” and just click Translate, doesn’t matter what language you set, just as long as you can view it! (In this case mine is from Spanish => English). And boom! Presto. It works (: I can now enjoy I’M ON A BOAT without having it blocked.
Now this does not ensure the sites your going to will actually be accessible fully, to some extent, you may still face issues with the site’s personal visitor validation or even functions the site may use, like Cookies! Despite all this, its always best to have your own personal proxy.
That’s all I got for now (: So, have a great upcoming weekend and continue LOL-ing at Kanye West.
Please be sure to re-tweet…
“Kanye West just interrupted Patrick Swayzes funeral to let everyone know that Michael Jacksons funeral was better. RIP Patrick”
GAYFISH!

HAPPY TOTAL 20,000TH VISITOR.
Fuck my ISP… Its on!
Posted by MrSaints in Marvellous Misadventures, Stepping Stones Tuesday, 21 July 2009 04:18 4 Comments
Ever had one of those days where you totally just hate the connection speed of your internet or the constant downtimes and your 100% definite its the damn ISP’s fault again? Well fuck them. Lets make use of them to our fullest potential. If your internet service has a capped bandwidth, I do urge you to use as much of it as possible (to the max is preffable), if yours is one of those uncapped and unmetered ones, time to go hardcore.
This is in no proper or ranked order.
If your usage in GB is not above 80MB per DAY; you seriously need to use your internet more, or why pay for it?
Lets use our internet service PROPERLY.
- To use your Internet properly, you should had (or at least in the past), at least download one TORRENT. If you did, congratufuckinglations. Time to crank up your uTorrent, BitTorrent or whatever and put another 10 downloads into the que.
- There’s no point getting an internet service from an ISP if you don’t use it for 21st Century technologies such as IM (Instant Messaging such as MSN), Networking (I.E. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter…) or maybe even VoIP (I.E. Skype).
These services consumes your bandwidth too! - Run servers on your computer. One of easiest way to consume as much as bandwidth as you can is hosting servers. From Web Servers to Game Servers, its up to you. If you have a powerful computer and a nice Uptime/Downtime, time to open up your own hosting services and see your damn ISP gasps over the blazing high bandwidth usage (just don’t get caught!).
- Download as much shit as you can before you sleep. If your not the type that torrent, it won’t hurt to drag yourself to Warez websites and download some cracked applications or softwares. I highly discourage using illegal software, but at times it won’t hurt to cue a few 1~10 downloads at once? =] And leave it on even when your sleeping…
- DDOS attack! Ever saw a website you dislike? Or perhaps someone you want to get back at. Well as long as they have a completely weak shit web host or prevention measures, DDOS them to death! And see their website going down like the Hidenburg (this does consume a lot of bandwidth overtime!).
- YouTube… LimeWire… SHOUTcast. One thing I love about the internet now is that, its like everything in one! (besides being able to eat lol). Another way you can make good use of your internet is to watch YouTube videos or make downloads in LimeWire (as stated by #1 and #4). Or even managing your own Audio/Video streaming site or server (E.g. SHOUTcast. As mentioned in #3). Video/Audio streaming consumes loads of bandwidths.
- If your a guy, this is the best part. Porn. Yes. Nothings better than burning your bandwidth with entertainment; and there is no better way to do this than streaming one or perhaps downloading? (This is basically the same as 6). According to Alexa, in Malaysia (2008 I think), Pornhub was one of the most visited websites. =]
- Online Games. Oh boy… I recall the days when I played online games, the amount of sent/received bytes were off the chart (mostly MMORPGs and maybe even 3D games). If your not an MMO fan, just play Multiplayer FPS games like Counter Strike or even try out Battlefield, or for horror fans out there, you can go for Left 4 Dead (Haha, forgot to mention Warcraft – Dota).
I guess thats all the things you can do for now.
So fuck them over, and make proper use of the internet, even if its browsing eBay or a community forum.
Just Do It. And do it… A LOT.
Right now I have used around: 412MB.
In 10 hours.
So, you think the internet is secure?
Posted by MrSaints in Stepping Stones Sunday, 28 June 2009 01:30 No Comments
So how confident are you that what you put into the internet or enter into the internet is… secure or safe?
According to the data protection act, your data should be removed after a certain period and should not be given to others. In most cases, spam e-mails come from web crawlers and bots that finds and collects the e-mail addresses as texts into a database. The system will then mass mail spam e-mails or advertisement (sometimes even phising mails!) to all the e-mails collated in the database. We can’t always trust the site we are entering details onto or what we put onto the internet, so lets keep it safe.
1. Make a side e-mail accounts for online registrations.
This is one of the best solutions to reduce spam (not the best but effective too!). Lets say you love registering on forums, you should then make an e-mail account specifically for these networks. But if your doing it for billing, ensure it is an e-mail address that IS NOT published onto the internet or used in any public domains.
Why So?
We should not rely on website security such as PayPal to ensure the security of our accounts. Instead, we should take precautions and make sure these billing addresses is unknown to everyone. Unless you are using it for PayPal that is, then thats a different case cause thats more/less in the private domains.
After all, creating an e-mail account doesn’t take long and most of the time is FREE.
Hotmail.com, Yahoo.com, Gmail.com; They love your business!
2. If your posting your e-mail, encrypt it or replace the “@”.
If you do however wish to post your e-mail onto websites that presents them on the public domain as a text that can be easily extracted through regular expression matching, replace the @.
Instead try putting: yourname[at]domain.com or yourname/at/domain.com, you can even add spaces to all of them or describe your e-mail like, yourname at website.com.
For websites mailto links, ensure your e-mail address is encrypted.
This can be done in many websites (by Googling), but if your lazy, try: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/emailriddler/
That way, no bots can be crawling onto your e-mail addresses! No worries for Facebook however, they make use of PHP GD to present it as text that can’t be copied! If your a Web Developer, this is an excellent way to secure private data as well!
3. File Security, Control Panels.
We have directory permissions for a reason. Make use of it and add an additional security to your current Control Panel or Files directory by setting password locks. With cPanel this can easily be done or just plain .HTACCESS. But by adding this added security, you can feel much safer than the standard exploitable control panel open/accessible to public like Wordpress. Once again, Do not rely on pre-made or current SECURITY. You must take a part in creating less advantages for hackers and exploiters.
Comprehensive Guide to .HTACCESS
4. Complicated and Vast Passwords.
Do not ever use the same password for every account you make. If you wish to do so, ensure it is for accounts of less priority. If lets say, you log into Facebook and Twitter the most, make sure they are both, completely different.
Also, make use of Password Strength Indicators and Password Generators to create passwords un-brutable. A simple method of Brute Force (Bruting) will test for random username and passwords until the access is true, by using simple passwords, your just making their job easier, complicated password will take longer to crack.
Strong Password Generator – Password Meter
5. Keep Track, Keep Organized.
One of the best method to ensure your information is secure (as most people say, what you put into the internet is forever there!); is to keep organized and managed. You should be fully aware of any websites you have registered to, and you have all rights to have them remove your details from their database if you feel is necessary (if your liable to). This also helps ensure whether you had registered with them in the past if you are to come back to an old site for example. You can keep organized by making use of filters to filter e-mails from different host into folders. Most e-mail clients/providers should have the ability to create folders.
6. Don’t trust anyone… Not even your friends.
I don’t really follow this one but yes. Don’t trust anyone or anything… Including web security. Your the only person you can trust, so make sure you do not hint out passwords to any of your friends or even share. If your not using your computer, log it off and ensure it has a password protection.
Example – Twitter Applications (using their API).
If you were to lets say login onto Twitpic (A image hosting site integrated to Twitter), and you were new to it. Before logging in (cause most sites may be phising sites), Google it, check the web popularity and perhaps see if its blacklisted. Normally when you search a site that is blacklisted, it would have a bad Alexa site rating/ranking, and most of the time, someone, somewhere would had made a blog or comment about it, this should be displayed as one of the results.
Remember to read the Terms and Conditions of websites too, just skim through it and most of the time in announcements and reminders, specific sites would mention things like, “We will not ask for your login details”. Ensure you look for things like that, so you won’t be manipulated in providing confidential credentials. It is not safe. E-Crime is the latest daylight robbery and anyone/anywhere can be scammed easily.
Once again, sorry for another long and procrastinating blog post!
Hope it is pretty insightful anyhow.
