jss @ April 9, 2008 # 2 Comments
If you blog and use WordPress, you might be familiar with plugins, which are handy little software modules that can greatly enhance using WordPress. I’m using about 15 plugins here at jeffschult.com; anything you want to do, there’s usually a plugin for it. Akismet blocks comment spam. Subscribe2 allows people to have profiles and set [...]

Yahoo! Verifies: Adult Profiles to be Eliminated
jss @ March 28, 2008 # One Comment
Update: It’s now April 10 and Yahoo has apparently not yet taken down adult profile photos or eliminated adult profiles. Nor have they said if they changed their minds. Though they have issued a clarification of their original clarification, neither of which clarified anything …
And … April 11. They did it. Rachel’s photo is [...]

Yahoo to Eliminate ‘Adult’ Profiles !
jss @ March 27, 2008 # 9 Comments
This almost sounds as though it is an e-mail hoax, but it is not. And I wonder if the brainiacs at Yahoo have really thought all the way through about what they just told me they’re going to do.
From my inbox, two minutes ago:
“We’re making some changes that will affect one of your Yahoo! profiles. [...]

Potpourri (curmudgeonly thoughts for breakfast)
jss @ February 27, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Yes, I had to look that word up, which is a little shameful to someone who has done hard toime as a newspaper columnist. Because every once in a while, you don’t have that big, delicious idea in time for deadline, and you do a “potpourri” column, blended from all the ideas that weren’t quite [...]

RedTube: Our Registrar was Hacked
jss @ February 6, 2008 # No Comment Yet
I got a note from FiveStarMedia today in response to my question from two days ago about RedTube being taken down. FiveStar owns RedTube and has built it into one of the most trafficked porn sites in the world in less than a year … and has put it up for sale, too. I [...]

RedTube Hacked, Shorts in a Twist
jss @ February 5, 2008 # 6 Comments
Update 12:48 p.m. — RedTube seems to be offline again, at least from where I am. My attempt to connect times out when trying to hit the server at www.atspace.com. I can ping www.redtube.com just fine. I have no idea why they’re down; could be the technical staff took the site offline to work on [...]

RedTube Hacked?
jss @ February 4, 2008 # 33 Comments
RedTube.com, one of the most trafficked porn sites on the web (Ranked 67th of ALL web sites by Alexa, as of right now) has allegedly been hacked by “Turkish Cyber Terrorists.” At least, take a look at the accompanying screenshot I took at a little before 5 p.m. today, Massachusetts time. (Screenshot)
Update 2: They’re back [...]

Microsoft-Yahoo Deal: Ironic Comment of the Day
jss @ February 1, 2008 # No Comment Yet
I claim no prescience as to whether Microsoft will succeed in taking over Yahoo, and there are far too many zeros in the number $44,600,000,000 for me to have an idea of whether it’s a worthy offer for shareholders or not. I’m befuddled, often, just by the range of prices available to me for [...]

I have won $153,000 so far …

… unfortunately, it is on the “Highroller Casino” game on my cell phone, and I can’t figure out a way to transfer it to my RL bank account.
I have never liked cell phones, actually, and I still think it is creepy just how accessible some cellphoniacs make themselves. I wouldn’t have a cell phone [...]

Among my other favorite things …

… to pay attention to in the telecommunications sphere are the prospects of renewed competition in the industry. The incumbent behemoths are profoundly collusive and anticompetitive and the Federal Communications Commission and the gov’mint act as though everything is just fine … which is perhaps the leading reason the United States is ranked 15th (or [...]
