Nowhere.dk has been using a lot of different software over the years (handwritten HTML files, home brewed CMS and various other CMS’es). Since I started this blog (again) I’ve been running Nanoblogger, a nice, small bash based blogging framework. But even if it has been working okay it is very limited in function (hence nano I guess). So I decided to switch to a new blog engine. The choice is: WordPress. Why? Because it has a large user base, easy to extend (more than 5000 plugins) and easy to make look like you want (lots and lots of themes). The downside is that it is PHP based and requires MySQL which might be a problem for my underpowered server. ...

Efter mange års overtalelse er Icewoman (også kendt som Miss Laila) endelig begyndt at lave en hjemmeside (eller en blog mere præcist). Se den på www.icewoman.net

Det hele starter i september måned hvor vores ældste barn vil købe sig en ny mobiltelefon. Han brugte mobilpriser.dk til at finde en forhandler af den telefon han godt kunne tænke sig. For den pågældende telefon var det DataTalk ApS. Jeg har handlet online i mere end 10 år og havde derfor ikke de store betænkeligheder fordi jeg normalt ikke oplever problemer, men også fordi DataTalk ApS er e-mærkede Så let skulle det desværre ikke gå. ...

Kanal5 (som er ejet af SBS TV) har op til dagens sæssonstart på DTC aggresivt markedsført deres transmission forholdsvist kraftigt, blandt andet ved at bruge Casper Elgaard som ekspertkommentator (fra Kanal5.dk): Kanal 5 sender direkte fra løbene og har allieret sig med et nyt og yderst kompetent kommentatorteam bestående af racerkører Thomas Wulff, der i dag arbejder som biljournalist samt den tredobbelte DTC-mester Casper Elgaard fra Team Essex I realiteten har Kanal5 valgt at sende to timer søndag eftermiddag – i modsætning til tidligere hvor man sendte fra det meste af løbsdagen. Forklaringen er, i følge Kanal5 (fra reklame hos www.dtc-net.dk): ...

Comon har her til formiddag publiceret en artikel om ORDB.org. Den handler kort fortalt om at folk mister mail fordi ORDB.org er begyndt at returnere falske positive svar på alle forespørgsler. Der er et par, mener jeg, fejl i den artikel. Fejl som redaktionen ikke er enige i. I stedet for at diskutere med journalisten i deres forum har jeg valgt at offentliggøre mine synspunkter her. Comon har tre (offentliggjorte) kilder til deres artikel. ...

This is not new news, ORDB.org ceased to exist on December 18., 2006 What is new is that as of 25/03/2008 15:50 CET relays.ordb.org started returning 127.0.0.2 for every query – in effect causing mail servers still using ORDB.org to reject mails. Almost 16 months after the announcement of ORDB.org shutting down this has still caught many people by surprise and started a public outcry. To summarize those threads people are now blaming the ORDB.org crew for their own incompetence and shortsightedness (words like stupid, dickish, terrorists and worse) claiming that ORDB.org is costing them money. No! You are costing ORDB.org and their associates money. For 16 months the relays.ordb.org zone has been using around 4 MB/s of traffic (that amounts to more than 33 GB per day!). Yet people are now complaining that a service they got for free is not working the way they wanted. ...
