But now there is. If you want to embed your pictures or slideshows in your website or blog, check out flickrSLiDR.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">With flickrSLiDR, all you have to do is paste the URL of the picture, username, photoset, slideshow or whatever else you would like to wave around, set the parameters for the slideshow (basic only =[) and you're done. It's a very useful and user friendly tool that should become a part of Flickr.

They tracked her IP address to her Runescape Member account username. They told her she would be banned and sued for possible hacking and releasing private and copyrighted material to the public. The problem with that is, the only thing that could be considered that was the copy of the P-Mod Newspaper she had posted up there. Not realizing this, the creator closed down the forum. She is now starting a RPG in it and hopes to rebuild it's status. I hope to help regain the threads bashing Jagex, since they have nothing else they can do about it. Besides, there is no rule against it in the first place. There is rules against certain things in websites, there is nothing they have against the forums besides the cheated copy of the newspaper. But we will just have to see what happens....<br /></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></span></span></span></span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">~Adam Taylor<br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:100%;" >[<a href="http://antijagex.forumcircle.com/index.php">Currently: Secret ;)</a>]</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></span></span></span></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://writetomyblog.com/" title="I post with WriteToMyBlog"><img border="0" src="http://writetomyblog.com/buttons/writetomyblog_button_postwith.gif" width="80" height="22" title="I post with WriteToMyBlog" alt="I post with WriteToMyBlog" /></a></div>Adam Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07069918045103191513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036712315177745996.post-17255965217610471482007-05-12T19:34:00.000-04:002007-05-12T20:28:40.330-04:00The Trojan War Blog is No More!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The Trojan War:<br /><span style="font-size:100%;">There is a war.

The best<br />technique you used till today would be 'hit the pause button and get a<br />coffee'. Now there's a better way if you use firefox. A new greasemonkey<br />script Coralized Youtube makes Youtube videos stream faster. This user<br />script uses Coral Content Distribution Network to accelerate video<br />performance on YouTube.Install this script from <a target='_blank' href='http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/9151.user.js'>here</a>.<br></br><br /><br></br><br /><span style='font-weight: bold'>Alternative</span>:For<br />those who don't use firefox there's a solution for you people<br />too. Download SpeedBit Video Accelerator for YouTube which also does the<br />same job. It is basically a Web Accelerator which makes your videos<br />stream faster and play smoother reducing buffering problems.

Here are some details on some of them.<br></br><br /><br></br><br />We<br />added a new forced_root_block option, this enables you to force TinyMCE<br />to always place any non block elements at root level into a block such<br />as a P tag or a DIV.<br></br><br /><br></br><br />Google video and YouTube support is now<br />built in to the media plugin simply paste a URL to such a resource into<br />the URL field of the media plugin and it will setup everything for you.<br />We have been thinking of making separate dialogs for external video<br />files but this will have to postponed for a future release.<br></br><br /><br></br><br />A<br />new default_document option was added this option makes it possible to<br />use TinyMCE in a cross domain environment. This is more likely to be<br />used by larger sites or corporations and if you don't know what the<br />problem is don't bother to use the option. <img width='15' src='http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/img/smilies/smile.png' height='15' alt='smile'></img><br></br><br /><br></br><br />The<br />core has been cleaned some by removing unused code blocks, rewriting<br />lots of it and use simpler methods for property retrieval.<br></br><br /><br></br><br />Apos/'<br />characters are no longer encoded since they only need to be encoded if<br />they are places in attributes using apos characters as their separator<br />values and TinyMCE doesn't support such elements since 99% of the web<br />don't use them.<br></br><br /><br></br><br />A old but annoying bug regarding IE and the<br />removal of width and height attributes has now finally been resolved.<br />So now you can have tags like <img src="my.gif" width="100" /> if<br />you like.<br /></p><br /><p><br />Removed support and logic for IE 5.0. That browser is just to old now<br />days and companies like Yahoo are beginning to end their support for it<br />anyway.<br></br><br /><br></br><br />Anyway, thanks a lot for all bug reports and patches for this release.<br /></p><br /><p><br />Best regards,<br /><br></br><br />Spocke - Main developer of TinyMCE<br /></p><br /><p><br />------------------------------------------------<br /></p><br /><p><br />New Release!

One cable<br />connects to your iPod's headphone port, the other to an included<br />speaker so you can hear your combined music out loud. A headphone port<br />lets you work in quiet, or connect a recording device (not included) to<br />preserve your playing. Mini Keys' output is adjusted with tiny Tempo<br />Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons, as well as Rhythm and Style buttons<br />that transform the type of synthesized music it's playing.<br /></p><br /><p><br />---------------------------------------<br /></p><br /><p><br />This product looks like a great idea. I have not purchased it, so I don't know how user-friednly it is.<br /></p><br /><p><br />I have seen a similar product like this, but the one I saw was very generic. It was at KB Toys.

Photobucket is going for <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/05/07/myspace-to-acquire-photobucket-for-250-million/" title="Open: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/05/07/myspace-to-acquire-photobucket-for-250-million/">$300 million</a> with the earnout (<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/05/07/photobucket-was-a-steal-v-googleyoutube/" title="Open: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/05/07/photobucket-was-a-steal-v-googleyoutube/">a steal</a> compared to Google/YouTube), and MySpace was acquired for $580 million, back in 2005.</p><br /><p>Two separate analytics services, though, show that the Photobucket deal will bring very few new customers to MySpace because of the nearly 100% overlap in users.</p><br /><p>Nielsen/Netratings says MySpace has 55.9 million monthly unique visitors, compared to Photobucket’s 14.7 million. Combined though, the sites will have just 57.7 million unique visitors. That means just just 1.8 million of Photobucket’s visitors don’t currently visit MySpace, too. That’s a 3% gain for MySpace. If you count just new users, MySpace is paying $167 for each one of them.</p><br /><p>Comscore tells a similar story, showing that 77% of Photobucket’s users are also visiting MySpace regularly.</p><br /><p>As a point of comparison, the overlap between Google and YouTube was even greater according to Comscore. At the time of the acquisition in October 2006, 80% of YouTube’s users also visited Google regularly.</p><br /><p>MySpace already offers its users the same basic services as Photobucket (photo and video sharing). If they aren’t buying Photobucket for the product and they aren’t getting any new users…t hen why are they buying them? To limit the availability of Photobucket features and all that user content to other fast-growing social networks without these features? Because they can? Let’s see what MySpace has to say about this as the deal closes.</p><br /><p></p><br /><p style="color:#008;text-align:right;"><small><em>Powered by</em> <a href="http://www.qumana.com/">Qumana</a></small></p><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://writetomyblog.com/" title="I post with WriteToMyBlog"><img border="0" src="http://writetomyblog.com/buttons/writetomyblog_button_postwith.gif" width="80" height="22" title="I post with WriteToMyBlog" alt="I post with WriteToMyBlog" /></a></div>Adam Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07069918045103191513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036712315177745996.post-77347039522817841402007-05-09T15:36:00.001-04:002007-05-09T15:36:03.986-04:00Using Google's Blogsearch Portal for Advertising<p><br />Everybody hates those annoying pop-ups, banners, ads and "Ads provided by Google", well, they still seem to get you to think about buying things, don't they?<br /></p><br /><p><br />This Google Tutor blog post talks about many ways to find the right blogs and websites to post your links on so that you get the right customers...<br /></p><br /><p><br /> <a title='Google Tutor> Using Google's Blogsearch Portal for Advertising' href='http://www.googletutor.com/2007/05/08/using-googles-blogsearch-portal-for-advertising/'>Google Tutor> Using Google's Blogsearch Portal for Advertising</a><br /></p><br /><div style='font-size:88%' id='wtmb_tags'><p>Tags: <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/Google'>Google</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/Tutor'>Tutor</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/blogsearch'>blogsearch</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/portal'>portal</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/advertising'>advertising</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/ads'>ads</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/pop-ups'>pop-ups</a></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://writetomyblog.com/" title="I post with WriteToMyBlog"><img border="0" src="http://writetomyblog.com/buttons/writetomyblog_button_postwith.gif" width="80" height="22" title="I post with WriteToMyBlog" alt="I post with WriteToMyBlog" /></a></div>Adam Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07069918045103191513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036712315177745996.post-41313658001741239172007-05-08T21:24:00.000-04:002007-05-08T21:26:42.613-04:00Magnetosphere 0.1 Beta Released!
