Facebook Prettier Profile URL

One of the lesser advertised and known feature of Facebook is that you can link to a prettier profile URL than the default and rather lame profile.php?id=123456789. For instance, my profile URL is either: Ozh (full profile, sucky URL) or Ozh (short profile public page, slightly less sucky URL). From an SEO perspective it does not change a lot since…

I just found out about Google's Music Search (example). Don't expect anything to find illegal MP3s (although Google can be used for this) but this is a neat tool when researching about a band: their discography, album names and release dates, reviews, even lyrics. I didn't know about this.

Deactivate Your Spam Shields For One Day ?

Some dude is going to deactivate his spam protection (Akismet) for one day, on December 15th, and the idea is actually starting to spread. What a pointless idea… I mean, everyone knows how many spam they're getting each day: Akismet as a WordPress plugin comes with a spam counter. I know I get between 100 and 300 spams every single…

Every time I read reviews, I just cannot understand why every single product seems to miss an essential feature or comes with a couple of bloated concept I don't…

(Almost) Nice Captcha

In the best case scenario, captchas annoy me. In most cases, I can't even read them properly and they make me fill twice some registration form. In some too frequent cases, when I fail a couple of times I get fed up and don't even register with the site they're supposed to protect (And in every single case, I am…

Breaking News: Wikimedia €25 Richer

From time to time, about once a month or so, I make a small donation to somebody. It's not a principle I try to follow, I just donate when I find something cool and it happens roughly every four weeks:) It's almost like recycling, since recent donations where mostly given to plugin coders and I receive myself a few tips…

Hand Fart Music (NSFW, this is too funny)

This is hilarious, and then beyond hilarity you realize this is quite a performance: your old rock & heavy metal tunes, "hand fart" style! (ok, seems it's also called manualism but that doesn't sound as funny:) This crazy guy plays The Trooper (Maiden), Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), Crazy Train (Ozzy) or Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns) with his hands. This. Is.…
