How many domain extensions to purchase?

2007-07-18T19:02:47Z

i'm about to purchase my domain name.
of course it gives me the option to purchase the extensions .net, .biz, .org, etc. as well.

i know there is relevance to purchasing all of these to make sure no one else uses a version of my .com and dilutes the traffic going in my direction, make sure no one goes to the same name under another extension mistakenly, etc.

but really, how many of these should i purchase?
i am a designer by trade.
its not that expensive to purchase all the extensions but why spend more money that is really necessary, right?

thanks in advance for your feedback!
this will be helpful info for my clients as well.

Ajax coder wanted!

2006-11-03T06:58:30Z

Hi!

I'm designing a new interface for my current PHP webapp project, and I need Ajax functionality to do what I want. I don't have time to learn it well myself, so I'm going to hire a coder to make it according to my design. I'll probably outsource it out of the country, but I'd sooner work with someone in the States if they're discreet and cheap enough because I could sit down with 'em and whiteboard it out more conveniently. I'll want a signed NDA and non-compete from anyone I work with on this.

Anyone able and interested? Or anyone know anyone? I can get a coder out of the country for $13-$15/hour, so that's the amount I'm planning to spend. I know it's not much but I'm working on a tight budget. And I'm fun to work with!

Sending cell pics to own server?

2006-10-27T00:33:52Z

Can anyone suggest an application or means of sending photos from my cell phone to an album on my own server? I've seen a site called PixPulse, where you can create an account and send cell phone photos there (like a mobile flickr) but I want to send them to my own web server.

How would I do that?

Avoiding Google and other search engines.

2006-04-26T12:59:39Z

I have some pages on my personal web site that are x-rated. What can I do so these pages aren't referenced by search engines?

I don't care if the rest of the pages are hit... in fact it is fun to see my host reports that show me which keywords and phrases are getting hits. But I'd prefer if some pages just weren't in the loop.

Thanks.

How to copy a password-protected website for offline use?

2005-10-27T20:54:03Z

I'm trying to use SUPERBOT to do this. I've also tried FRONTPAGE 2003.

I have subscribed to a website and have a userid/password. I'd like to copy it to my PC for offline use. The pages I cannot obtain are under a folder called PROTECTED/....

When I mass-copy this folder I simply get an offline copy of the login screen. I have put the password/Userid into SUPERBOT before trying this.

Also this did work for another password protected site. Just not for the one mentioned above.

I need to get about 100 HTML pages onto my PC and don't want to do it manually - any ideas?

Smart Mobs for Parecon

2004-08-04T02:17:29Z

A scalable social network system using Smart Mobs infrastructure like phones and text messaging can be used for participatory economics:

1) In this system, goods and services are produced according to a plan developed by an iterative procedure of democratic, participatory consumers and producers councils. Smart mobs could optimize the communications and participation at this level.

2) Parecon businesses could use smart mobs by creating a pool of job offers and demands to distribute balanced job complexes in a decentralized way.

I would like to get in touch with people interested in making this an opensource sourceforge project so if you are, or know any one or any anarchist tech collectives that might be interested, let's talk about it/contact me/join the "Participatory Economics" tribe.

IIS 6/Server '03 issue

2004-06-08T19:54:27Z

I'm posting this here hoping that maybe someone else has run into the same issue in the past.
I have 4 web sites with 3 separate IPs running (and 3 separate LACs) in 4 separate directories on the same drive/inetpub on IIS 6 in Server 2003.
I also have 3 ftp sites set up. All web site directories are set to inherit permissions, and none have special permissions or security settings.
One of the web sites has been a big bastard. We tried putting the Windows firewall on all the connections, but then one of the FTP sites cut out. It connects, but then directory listing fails. The FTP software is in passive transfer mode, and it does the same thing with the firewall off.
I've also tried deleting and re-creating the FTP site.
I get into the inetpub root via FTP and the web site directory in question is JUST NOT THERE. I tried logging in using Administrator and get the same issue. The Network Admin here is clueless as to what caused it.
The only unique thing about this directory WAS that it had a virtual directory on another drive. But I added one on a different web site and that other web site did not replicate the problem.
I was doing some fiddling with it to get PHP to work, but I ended up just making it for all the sites.
I'm curious if anyone has had a similar problem. IIS 6 seems to be quite a bit different than the previous versions, and maybe I'm just missing something because of that.
Sorry about the long post. Please email me directly if you think you've got it.
Thanks in advance.

Sexy Dork Survey Posted

2004-03-04T17:14:45Z

Hi, I finished and posted the Sexy Dork Survey, and need some people to help me fill in some statistics. This is the first part of making a test, this is not the actual test itself.

I was wondering if you could just visit the site, and fill out the survey to give me a base for statistics for the site. Later I will post a test based on these answers.

The survey collects your opinion, then later a test can use this data to calculate your Sexy Dorkiness based on everyone elses opinion.

www.sonicspeedsters.com/other/...test/d_y0.php

After I get about 20+ people filling out the survey, I will post the actual test. This is just the data-acquisition phase so don't expect anything spectacular on the webpage.

Please let me know if the survey fucks up or if there should be additional questions on the survey.

web stats

2004-02-18T00:55:34Z

How do the big guys (amazon, ebay) gather web statistics from site visits without degrading their servers? We are trying to create webstats for a 2 million +/year site, but we can not gather the information we want without degrading the SQL server to the point of receiving timeout errors (we are currently writting the user id for each page view based on a session cookie direct to the server).

has anyone ever read a case study of the big guys and know what they use to pull user statistics?

any information or personal case studies would be great - thanks.

LogoLounge

2003-10-31T20:18:23Z

I am a member of LogoLounge and find it infinitely useful. I have submitted close to 30 logos for this call for entries. I have the book and it is great! Maybe some of my stuff will make it into LogoLounge 2...

check it out

--------
CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR LOGOLOUNGE BOOK II

Dear LogoLounge Member,
When the new book, "LogoLounge: 2,000 International Identities by Leading Designers," compiled by the creators of LogoLounge.com and published by Rockport Publishers, was released earlier this year, there was just one thing wrong with it: The book sold out in a matter of months. The second printing is quickly being exhausted and the book has yet to drop from the top 1% of sales on Amazon.com.

So Rockport and LogoLounge.com are teaming up again to publish a brand-new book, "LogoLounge II." That means it is once again your chance, as a LogoLounge member, to get your logo design work into what has turned out to be a very hot commodity.

Here's what you need to know and do:
— Make sure your membership in LogoLounge.com is current. Only members may upload their logo design work to the web site.
— All work submitted to LogoLounge.com before February 1, 2004 will be considered for inclusion in the new book.
- We are announcing this CALL FOR ENTRIES to our membership before it is announced to the general public. When the jurors review the logos they are judged in the order they are received. You may find it advantageous to upload soon to avoid having your work at the bottom of the virtual stack.

Your membership not only opens up the possibility that your work may be featured in "LogoLounge II," it also means that your designs will be part of the fastest-growing databases and historical record of logo design in our time. You also have access to all of the web site's research capabilities, its editorial content, and its special promotions.

Of course, being featured in the book is a powerful promotion for your work: Clients have heavily shopped the book to discover designers and firms with whom they would like to work.

Work on the new book is beginning as you read this message. So please don't wait: Unlike a web site, the book can only contain a finite number of logos.

Bill Gardner
LogoLounge.com

P.S.: Here's a link to what readers of the first LogoLounge book are saying:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1564969096/qid=1067620009/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-1564551-9599034?v=glance&n=507846>

a penny for your thoughts

2003-10-25T16:42:46Z

Here's a great way to use your website to earn a little cash, without bothering your viewers with ads!

First- join a simple traffic program. http://nuclearhits.com/?ref=7320
I've tried a lot and that place works great.

2 - Join an ad company.
http://www.paypopup.com/?ref=bboyarctic
This is what I use, and they are good to me so far.

3 - Create a new page on your site with very little content (like a welcome page). Place your ad in this page, and submit THIS url to the traffic generators.

Done! All your regular viewers will never see that welcome page, and never be bothered with the ad. About 25% of the traffic generator traffic will see the pop-up, and won't hog your bandwidth.
If you have questions, email me : bboyarctic@yahoo.com

Conspiracy theories abound for who and what is behind the SoBig virus. I think it's a major-league spam artist, trying to muck up anti-spam filters, forcing us to dial them up and trigger more false positives. THEN we will eventually give up and turn off the filters, so the spam-masters win.
