wordpress moves to scrub moralphobia as wiki*edia, itself a neologism, has already

some blogs tagged with- or categorized on wordpress with  “moralphobia” or “moralphobe” or “moralphobic” … do NOT appear in wordpress search (URLs).  Some blogs featuring those words no longer appear in ANY tag-URLs or ANY category-URLs.

solving the google picasa local storage problem

Filed under: CIO — Sagacious Himself @ 4:17 am

google picasa is a storage glutton… encourage google to support adobe lightroom with web picasa

the problem:  infinite space a logical contradiction

the solution:

suggest a google analog of layers in a file… both reknowned photoshop and painter support layers.. even GIMP

consider a set: original, mod file (layers), and output file.   Incremental changes are made to google mod file and final output available online.  No need for large amounts of space

abstraction layer. windows got it firefox don’t

Filed under: social engineering — Sagacious Himself @ 11:34 am

It’s three versions overdue.  Firefox needs an extension referee: something to assure exensions, especially poorly designed extensions, play nicely.

Something that compensates for feature collision.  What do you do when three extensions interact with one particular firefox feature?   Nothing.  You obamahope for the best.  That’s no kind of plan.

Why is no one discussing a firefox extension abstraction layer?  Because it’s scary and would require work.  But the Perceived Performance team is working to take the cheating edge from intertardnet explorer.

Like to use tabs?  alot?  20+?  Enjoy the huge ram and cpu demand of firefox when you do?  TooManyTabs can help.  It would be more helpful with an abstraction layer.  It would be even better if firefox would roll greedy, unfocused tabs into the TooManyTabs netherworld.

itardPhone voicemail sucks

Filed under: irony — Sagacious Himself @ 11:20 am

iphone voicemail sucks so what are you going to do?  nothing.  you can’t

.

Jesse Ruderman, firefox whiz, overt fan of the needless www host, waxes on the subject not realizing the HTC phone series is a few clicks away

http://squarefree.com/2009/07/29/iphone-voicemail/

complains that when he misses a call and gets voicemail as a result, the iPhone forces him to click both Recents and Voicemail to clear badges.

So what are you going to do about it?  Nothing likely you have an iphone.  But if you were a developer and hacker like Jesse?

How could Apple address Cronin’s complaint

apparently nothing.  No one can do anything about iphone voicemail sucking.  You iphone itards will have to live in an obamaesque state of hope (lessness).

So go have an obama beer and enjoy the shiny suffering.

HTC phones on the otherhand put USERS in charge.

even better self destructing short URL service

Filed under: Download, Geeky goodness — Sagacious Himself @ 4:39 pm

self expire short url in time or clicks

http://sturly.com/advanced-tiny-url.php

.

can be custom set to expire based on number of clicks or period of time

even better than ephemurl

need more content than I link?  combine sturly with tblurb or disposablewebpage

cross between disposablewebpage and pastebin

Filed under: DARPA — Sagacious Himself @ 4:11 pm

disposeablewebpage alternative

http://tblurb.com/

.

tBlurb links don’t expire, but they have markup.  Get the best of both:  share tBlurb links with ephemurl

tBlurb deleted after 90 days inactivity: no option to auto delete sooner.

.

need fewer features than disposablewebpage.com or tblurb? then tinypaste.com/

need more destruction that pastebin.ca (or pastebin.com)?  then https://privnote.com/

.

roll in collaberation with simplybox.com want reliability on top of that?  acrobat.com

.

FINALLY a short URL service with self destructing (expiring) feature

google voice is much creepier than gmail

Filed under: CIO, DARPA — Sagacious Himself @ 3:24 pm

google voice is much creepier than gmail

creepier than gmail owning a slice of your digital soul through cross correlation of search results, ads, and EVERYBODY you ever interact with on their other platform tools?  Google will cross identify your surfing (through searches and ad presence) and email habits against those of your circle of friends, family, business associates, and website visitors (should you use their widgets);  Should they be unable to identify you per se they certainly will if you volunteer your credit card to purchase international calling minutes.

I spent about an hour with the number picker, got a really really really cool phone number that I am in the midst of porting out.. so it was awesome in that respect only.

Google Voice might seem impressive to someone who has never tinkered with voip.

Better option: Orgasmatron VPS with Vitelity ITSP with voip.ms and callcentric backups.

much needed search engine features: learn the spam I wish to avoid

Filed under: CIO, DARPA — Sagacious Himself @ 10:35 pm

server side search engine spam result filtering.. hueristic?

Sure, there are some nifty greasemonkey UserScripts for hiding undesirable search results.  I don’t want to see evil blog scrapers (IP piracy).  I don’t want to see offers to buy illegal drugs when researching a drug.

Learn what I do NOT want to see and NOT-return it for my query.  This need not require signin and microsoft’s new BING engine implies.   Hueristic server side search engine filtering is a must have especially as it would be cheaper than hiring assassins to find and kill spammers.

gmail filter repository

Filed under: DARPA, Download — Sagacious Himself @ 7:08 am

where is gmail filter repository?

nothing like SpamAssassin Rules Emporium has turned up yet

http://rulesemporium.com/

.

to stay competitive gmail now needs to add

+ a TMDA.net analog
+ properly support IMAP4 flags
+ fine grain spam rules (no, not filters)
+ x-header support in filters
+ actual wildcard support
