Sexy advertisements
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Mike Kauspedas on 12-08-2009
This is an advertisement for a game. The first ad:
Banner ad on random website
When you click on the ad it goes to some website to sign up for some game.
come play my lord ...
“Play now secretly” “Come play, my lord”. This is almost as good as the American apparel ads.

Cool audio site letting you hear what different instruments, beat, melody sound like in 2d. Just drag the circles in and out of the other circles. Sounds play automatically.

Just went to bd’s for lunch here in Denver. They have spicy bbq and lemon which are gluten free. They just don’t have soy sauce. They have gf stickers above the sauces advertising the fact as well. I had the lemon and it was ok, not enough flavor but you can add spices to it. I’ll go for the spicy bbq next time.
Actual Search and Replace in Files
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Mike Kauspedas on 17-04-2009
In regards to my post on the iframe hack I mentioned searching through the files and replacing the injected script. We didn’t search by hand. We used an application that scans files and looks for search string. It’s called Actual Search and Replace and worked great.
You can search for a single line of text or multiple lines. Multiple lines helped a lot since the script came in a multi line form as well as single. You can also search for wildcards, instead of just searching all index.html files you can use index.* that way you get index.cfm, index.php, etc.
The hacker must have got wise to this because he started inserting the script on the ending line of code instead of one line below it. So we’d get something like this.
</html><script>I
am
a
bad
script
</scritp>
Our normal method of searching for
<script>I
am
a
bad
script
</scritp>
No longer worked because the starting line included <html>. No big deal, we just searched for this instead.
</html><script>I
am
a
bad
script
</scritp>
Then replaced it with </html>. We had to do that for php ?> and asp <%> as well.

Yum …

This should be part of every red blooded american’s communist-attack kit. Not only will it be tasty when all the cows are dead and zombies are eating your family, but you’ll be able to use it in the post apoclyptic society to trade for other items like gluten free toast or towels.

The movie was better then the book

My review contains spoilers …
I started and finished “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” otherwise known as Bladerunner last night. I hated the book. The writing style was piece meal and oozed pompous prick all through it. Every character talked and acted the same, and half the time I felt like a drug induced hippy wrote it because it was skipping around so much. There was no depth to the main character at all. But then again I was expecting to read Bladerunner with its dark gritty awesomeness. Instead I got drugged up hippy pompous prick book instead. I also don’t like books that assume no human in the future will have common sense.
Anyway, I may recommend purely on the basis you can tell others you have read it. I think its the in thing with heady sci fi geeks. Me, I prefer good space opera because I read to be entertained, not preached to. At least if you do keep it subtle.
Speaking of jumping around, there is a scene in which Deckard (aka Harrison Ford aka main character) is quesitoning an andy and the andy cleverly keeps interupting. Then Deckard is accused of being an andy, the replicant (a much better name, thanks movie) doesn’t believe him so Deckard calls the police. He talks to someone, who isn’t there, but is there … and I seriously had no idea what was happening until 10 pages later when I figure out the new guy he met isn’t a replicant but has no empathy because he’s killed so many andys which the author clearly explains through a weird “trip” Deckard takes to the desert to commit suicide at the end of the book … I think. Nice run-on I just made but it enhances the confusion I experienced while reading.
To say the book and the movie are different is an understatement. Here are the things that are similiar.
The character names.
Yep, that’s about it.
Oh, there is one thing I liked. Rachael turns out to be a sleazy whore in the book and Deckard almost kills her because she sleeps with practically every bounty hunter (bladerunner). I like it when characters turn out to be pricks, to other characters. Or back stab, or in some way make me feel bad because it touches my emotions. Some books do this worse then others, some do it well. And because I felt nothing for any character in the book to learn that Deckard’s one night stand with the replicant was just her seducing him to try and stop him from killing the others was great.
Maybe I seem shallow or that I didn’t get the whole moral anti-vietnam you become the enemy by killing the enemy thing … or by my statement I just made I actually did get it and thought it was a bunch of sh*t.
I read Harry Potter

I finished reading Harry Potter this weekend. I was impressed. There were some parts, grammar mistakes actually that I caught. I was surprised to find a few throughout the series. I think this is due to hasty writing and quick editing. That’s my only complaint though. The characters were great, the differences were nto suttle, each stood out as an individual which is a big thing for me. I hate characters that swim together into one big bowl of mushy cereal. Which is something I eat sometimes while reading.
Seriously though they were great books and easy quick, extremely entertaining reads. I think that even without the movies I would ahve added my own accents and imagination to the scenes. But the movies definately help set the scene in my mind while I’m reading. I’m sure that added to the excitement and enjoyment of the book.
Go buy the set, you won’t be dsiapointed. If you don’t have kids buy it, read it, and then make them read it. Good lessons and values to be learned. Bravery, self sacrfice, honor, love, friendship, family. All the good stuff your kids need to learn is there.
This blog is going to be about many things but the majority of posts will be technical. I work for a small web hosting company so a lot of the stuff I find or figure out on a daily basis I will try and post here. Anything I think may be helpful to others running Windows servers. Along with tech stuff you may find some right wing political commentary, stuff to do with bikes and cycling, sci-fi stuff, funny pictures and videos, and games. And sometimes food. So basically all the stuff I enjoy but if I wrote about anything else it would suck. Enjoy.
