Nickchange in disallowing channels

Some channel modes on Quakenet servers forbid nick changes for the time you are in this channel. (Mostly, it will be mode +m) I’m in one of these moderated channels to follow an event bot and I want to change my nick to nick|afk if I’m away for a longer period. So, what to do? …

What if Google turns evil?

Categories:

February 2, 2010

Some months ago I found a text about the influence of Google on the blog of Xelransu. Because I don’t want to keep this great stuff away from you, I’ve translated it into English. I know that this article doesn’t have the latest news. But I think it is still worth reading. Enjoy.

Google crawls

Nearly every person who uses the internet stumbles upon Google as search engine. The words “to google” is used online and offline. In a very short time, Google takes the lead of search engine providers far ahead of the previous leader AltaVista. Also the new competitor live.com can’t change anything. Everyone has heard of Google and nearly all use it. But what’s the secret of the brand Google?

Okay, there is Google Video. But it has been closed, because there was no way to get market shares from YouTube. Wait a minute; YouTube has been buoyed by Google. So the market of internet videos belongs to Google.

There are also blogs, like mine. These, who don’t want to buy web space or a server, use a hoster for blogs. The leading companies in the United States are Blogger and BlogSpot. Now only Blogger exists, and who owns it? Yes, Google. Read the rest of this entry »

IRC Bouncers

Categories:

January 31, 2010

What is a bouncer?

A bouncer (also BNC) is a bot, which is always connected to a specified IRC server and their channels. It saves all queries send to you, while you’re offline and keeps small channels opened.

Advantages and risks of using a bouncer

There are a lot of discussions why to use a bouncer or not. The best argument for using a bouncer is definitely your hidden IP address. By connecting to a bouncer which is connected to an IRC server, others will only see the bouncer’s IP. It is also possible to bypass existing firewall rules, if a specific server name is blocked. But this feature takes also the risk that you have to trust your bouncer provider. He can simply connect to your bouncer and rag in your name. There are also monthly costs, not much, but it can be up to 10 Euro per year. In my opinion this can be disregarded.

Another discussion is about the established behavior on IRC server. Read the rest of this entry »

Microsoft Excel and printing in PDF causes page splitting

Categories:

January 29, 2010

More than one time I had problems printing a whole excel workbook into one PDF file. A workbook with for example 6 sheets are saved in 3 files each with 2 pages.

So, I looked up and compared the settings of all worksheets and noticed, that one has a different print quality than the others. You can find these option in the ribbon page layout, scale to fit by clicking on the little arrow in the bottom right corner. Read the rest of this entry »

On 10:10am Steve Jobs let the cat out of the bag: The new technology is called iPad and looks like a bloated iPhone. Nearly the same time, the microblogging service Twitter has a lot of lags.
