Befeore 2-3 weeks I was for choosing to buy a new bike. I have been searching for a Kawaski ZZR 400 or 600, but I didn't find new and good zzr bike. At the end I saw a 1999 Kawasaki GPZ 500 S. It was like new, when I made a test ride, I realeased this is my new bike. I bought it, and I am very happy now, because riding a bike is one of the best things of this world :).

I just waiting to register it in the police, next week must to happen.

Opera Speed Dial

I just update my gentoo, and I saw there is a new version of Opera (9.20).
The first new feature which I saw was the Speed Dial. I just click "New tab", but I didn't saw it, I click again, and again, and I saw the new tab is not blank, it was speed dial page.
It is like phone speed dial, but for browser. You can set your favorite sites there.
And with Ctrl+[1-9] to open any of them, or just to click on it. It is very nice feature. Opere again shown they invent everything new in the web browsers.
Only one thing I don't like in speed dial, what the fu*k yahoo search doing on the speed dial page, I wanna be a google search insted.

How to prevent yourself from clicks on your own AdSense ads

Everybody which using AdSense should know that he can't click on his own ads because, it is against AdSense polices, and can be banned for own clicks.
But you can click accidentally sometime when you look at your own site.
To prevent myself from this I making the ads hidden for me.

I will describe some ways to do that. This are not all possible ways.

1. AdSense Preview Tool
this is a tool from Google to test what ads will appear on your new pages, or on your old. You can select ad formats, colors and geo-targeted location.
You can see how to install it here.
I never used it, because it is for Internet ExploDer, and I am using Gentoo, and there isn't IE for it (actualy there is some like IEs4LInux and other).

2. Disable Javascript
AdSense works with javascript, if you disable it for you sites, your AdSense will not shown. But if you have parts of your site which works with Javascript you will be unable to use it.
How to disable the Javascript on different browsers:
Opera - open your site, right click on the page, select "Edit site preferences...", select the tab "Scripting", uncheck "Enable javascript" and press "OK" button.

FireFox - you can install some extension like NoScript or AdBlock.

Interned ExploDer - I don't remember/care

3. hosts file
This is another way to disable AdSense, and this will disable not only your sites ads but, and every site ads in any browser.
All AdSense clicks get through the host pagead2.googlesyndication.com, if you set static IP address for it in your hosts file, yours(and others) AdSense will not appear any more in any browser. What you need to do? Just add the following line in your hosts file

127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

Where is this hosts file?
On Linux/UNIX - /ets/hosts
On Windows -
Windows NT/2K/XP/Vista - %Systemroot%\System32\Drivers\Etc
Windows 9x - <drive>\<Windows folder>

4. Server side scripting (PHP/ASP/JSP/Whatever)
You can write a function which checks is the visitor IP match with some in list with your IPs, then if not you show the ads, else you don't.


What is your way?

Fix For Yakuake Location Bug On Fluxbox

I like yakuake, it is hidden when you don't need it, and it shows when you press F12. It is the best terminal. But I am using Fluxbox and found a bug which appear only with yakuake on fluxbox. It shows on different location every time when you set to visible. This is very annoying for me. The yakuake developers are not released any new version from long time and I decide to fix it myself.
And I successed (I am never programming in C++), the fix is only one line.
You can get pacth here.

That is why I like Open Source software.

Make money with Text Link Ads programs

I found some forum threads for making money with Text Link Ads and referrals.
They have a couple of ways to make money:
- Affiliate program
Text Link Ads pay out $25 for any referred visitor accepted into their program.
- Text Link Ads
You can sell links on your web site pages. Calculate how much you can earn with your site with the link calculator.
- RSS Ads
Adding ads into your rss feeds. This is good for bloggers.

Shutdown Day

It is obvious that people would find life extremely difficult without computers, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?
Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the Internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!
Shutdown your computer on this day and find out! Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer?

http://www.shutdownday.org/

I can do this. It is just one day. Very soon I will be without computer maybe for a month, and what is a day vs. a month. But maybe some people really can't.
At this moment there is 2136 people said they cannot shutdown their computers for a day.

Moto trip

Last weekend the weather was perfect and I decide to make small moto trip.
I get my old motorcycle, cleaned it up from the dust, and started the engine. I rode the motorcycle up on the mountain road. I was not ridden from the summer and was very cool. This is one of the best things I like to do.
I had little problem, because I didn't check how much fuel I have, and when I riding on the road the engine at once stopped to work. For luck I was took my mobile phone with myself and I called to my father. He came with some fuel and I charged it in the motorcycle. Next time I will not forget to check it :)
This winter is very weird, because it is the most warmed I ever seen. This is not very good and maybe is result from global warming, I don't know. But it is good winter for the moto bikers, some of them didn't stop to ride their bikes for the winter.

Heroes

I've checking tv.com and found there is a couple of new episodes of Heroes, which I didn't watched.
This tv show is awesome, after every episode you want to know what happen after that (it's like soup opera :)) and it is so addicting.
I'm gonna wathcing.

How to skip Windows Vista reduced functionality mode

I installed Windows Vista before a month. I am not using it very often, because I am using Gentoo in most time.
Last time when I tried to start it, the Windows Activation screen appear.
WTF, I must activate now?
But you can still use your computer, you can click

"Access your computer with reduced functionality
This will also allow you to buy a product key online"

They want from me to buy a key online, forgot I don't have money for Windows, and I don't want to spent it for.
I clicked on this button, and my default browser starts. It was FireFox because, I was made it default before that. And what now, I have only browser with nothing other.
Just my first try to do something worked. I tried to start gaim, I type the path in the FireFox address bar
file:///c:/Program%20Files/Gaim
and clicked on the gaim.exe, save file window appear and I saved it on the same location, then double clicked on the FireFox Downloads list and gaim starts.
The next step of course was to try the same with explorer.exe. I made the same with it
file:///c:/Windows/explorer.exe

and after that start menu and the desktop were loaded.



Perfect, not so reduced mode yet, now I can search for some Windows Vista activation crack :).

Goodbye Microsoft

Goodbye Microsoft is the site for the new debian win32 installer. The program is inspired from Ubuntu's similar project.
Features 64-bit CPU auto-detection, download of linux/initrd netboot images, and chainloading into Debian-Installer via grub4dos.
Here are some screenshots.

I maybe will try it when I have time, but for me will be better to use the normal way for installation, because you need to have Windows to use it.

What happen when using Internet ExploDer

This video shows why nobody should not use Internet Explorer.



I made a query in alexa for the site goggle.com and this is the result

Traffic Rank for goggle.com: 18,540

LOL, it is very popular. So many people make a mistake and write this instead www.google.com.

PS. Nothing happen on my Gentoo + Opera.

Google images with new design

If you make query at http://images.google.com you will see google change the design.
It's looking cool now Web 2.0, but for me is more useless now.
You can see the image properties, size, url only wen point the mouse on it.
With the old version you was able to see all images properties without to move the mouse all over the page.

Cool and Useless.

Why People Believe Americans Are Stupid

I have two similar situations when I worked as Ice cream man in USA.

1. I wore a t-shirt with label "London". Some guy look at the label and ask me:

Are you from France?

2. Two girls wants free ice cream from me. I tell them, OK I will give you free ice cream if you answer me a question. I asked them: "Where is Bulgaria?"
Answers:

In U.K.
In Australia
In Africa

But ofcource not all Americans are stupid, many of the smartest people are Americans.

FreeBSD doesn't hate me anymore

I understood where was my problem with freebsd. Yesterday I posted a thread in bsdforums.org and also asked in #freebsd@irc.freenode.net. Couple of people tried to help me in #freebsd, and the user appa_x tell me to change my ATA cable or the controller.
I rebooted and change the both, and my previous installed freebsd booted without any errors. After so long time i have working FreeBSD, I am happy.

The thread in BSDForums

Thanks to appa_x from #freebsd for helped me to solve the problem and to Carpetsmoker from bsdforums.org for explanation.

The Zen of Python

There is an easter egg in Python. Type "import this" in the python interpreter. That are the
principles for Python's design.

>>> import this
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

PS. It's not something new, but more people don't know it.

How I Migrate Fedora Core 4 From No Raid To Raid

Recently I migrate a Fedora Core 4 to raid.
I used two Gentoo howtos:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Migrate_To_RAID
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_on_Software_RAID

The only one problem in fedora was the loading of raid1 module. Because it is not built in the kernel, and i was unable to boot the system with raid support. I expected to be built in the kernel or in the initrd, but it wasn't.I use mkinitrd to add the module in the initrd image. Here is the command for generating initrd with raid support.

mkinitrd -v --preload=raid1 --preload=raid5 /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4_RAID.img 2.6.17-1.2139_FC4

after that you need to change the initrd in your grub.conf, and to look like this

boot=/dev/hd0
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(md0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

title Fedora Core (2.6.17-1.2139_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4 ro root=/dev/md0
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4_RAID.img

and yet you can boot in your Fedora with raid.

C Programming Language

I had readed the book "The C Programming Language, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie".
I really liked this book, because it is UNIX related, and many of the examples are standard UNIX programs like grep for example. The other examples in the book are some functions from the standard library.
Before this book i had readed "C Introduction", but some things are explained fast.

I should think which to be the next book. Maybe "Thinking in Java" or something for C++.

Happy new year

The holidays finished. The more time i spent in watching tv serials on FoxLife.
I was with my friends for the new year party. It was cool, i drink more than usually(i usully don't dringk).

Happy New Year.
