Pesky myspace.com users remote linking to images on your site in their sigs? Using .htaccess seems to be the default method most people use to try and block these requests. But, this may not be the most effective method anymore as browsers like Firefox may circumvent this. Sooo, how do you block remote image linking […]

Let’s just say that the past 3 or 4 days have been a big learning experience for me.  This is not how I wanted to learn how to administrate linux better, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers. One of the things that has been making me insane lately is how slowly this blog has […]

Ok, I am no linux admin. A box I have sitting here next to me, that I am running Debian Linux on, was compromised by some friend in China.  After a few emails and conversations with Lawrence at Speakeasy, I installed Portsentry and thought I had the problem under control. Well, I didn’t. Lawrence let […]

I was going to put something like this together for myself and then dump some adsense into it, but I have too much on my plate right now. Plus, I am realizing that I need to do some serious hacking on this Wordpress install to speed things up around here. Anyway, if you want […]

In an effort to speed up this POS, I have just finished moving the www.golod.com blog over to a different server.  If you are reading this, then you have made it over to the new site. Yippeeee.  I am curious if anyone tried to visit and got some kind of Wordpress DB error message before […]

Well, I am not much of a hacker or for the super l33ty folks, h4×0r. But, I was thinking about hitting up the upcoming Yahoo! Hack Day which is coming up at the end of the month. I am just starting to get into putting some decent little applications together using the Yahoo […]

Ok, sorry for the crazy title. I have had a whole slew of people ask me how to get their Cingular 8125 connected to their laptop via a Bluetooth Dial-Up connection, so here is how you do it.
First you are going to need to make sure that you have connected your computer and […]

Sometimes I feel like a total retard (to use the 100% politically incorrect term). I have been using Google Analytics, aka Urchin, since they announced it at last year’s PubCon…where I scored a t-shirt…woooot…anyone want it? Anyway, I have noticed a few bugs since they have upgraded everyone’s accounts to 10 sites. I […]

Anyone have a script that can autopost to Craig’s List? I was searching on some of the project / programmer posting sites and it looks like most everyone is interested in selling you data submission services rather that building a script that can circumvent the Craig’s List CAPTCHA. IF you have a script that […]

Yipppeeee. I found a bad ass, free, Mobile IM client for AOL IM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Jabber (if you use Jabber type clients or Google Talk) for my Cingular 8125. The program is called Agile Messenger and you can check out the BETA via this forum post. NOTE: This is beta […]

Not that I really care about all of the BS “Google Doesn’t Care About Click Fraud!” posts that have been circulating over the past month or so, but I did just read a response to Google’s click fraud report filed by the independent 3rd party who investigated Google’s efforts to prevent click fraud in the […]

Ok, how about a little geekery on this gorgeous Friday. First, let me say that I am very thankful for this summer’s weather here in SF, last year was poop. Anyway, I have been noticing some issues with our 6Mb/768Kb DSL line in the past couple of days. The biggest reason I have […]

Yippeeee! I just got a message from Tiffany! Who is Tiffany? Well, I don’t know, but she is making me a sweet offer. In exchange for a link to her site, I will get a link from their site on a page that, “…is awaiting a Google PR update of a PR 3-4.” Oh, […]

Okay, if anyone out there wants to wager a guess, I am all ears. How much would you pay for a site with a PR8 .gov link on the US Department of State website? I *may* know someone who has one.

Ok, so I am getting back into the swing of things this week. Been studying to re-establish my California real estate license for the past couple of weeks…more on that later. I was just poking around Google Sitemaps a bit (hey Google, how about an easier URL for the damn thing…maybe sitemaps.google.com?) and noticed […]

Well, I finally broke down this morning and pulled the DP coop from one of my sites and submitted a Google Reinclusion Request to the boys and girls at Google. The site in question has been around too long and means too much to me to just let it go. So, I pulled […]

Well, it was a fun ride, but I think it is time that everyone is going to have to come back to the basics here pretty soon. I have been running the Coop on a bunch of sites since its inception and I think those days are coming to an end. I suspect […]

If you have the content, I have the sites / links / domains. I have a number of old domains, with links pointing to them that are in need of content. If you have good content or an idea for a website or websites, please send me an email at jason at this domain […]

Ok, I am definitely late in the game on this one, but I have to throw out some serious props to Aaron Wall for putting together the mother of all Firefox Extensions…SEO for Firefox. This little bad boy makes your Google and Yahoo searches more robust than Pamela Anderson after her latest surgery. […]

I am trying to figure out the value of .edu links. I have a domain/site up for sale on DP that has one PR5 .edu link pointing to it and currently the site (only one page) is showing a toolbar PR of 4. It gets cache updates every week or two and has […]
