Buddy Icon Builder + GIFworks.. build a base icon and hack out the parts that suck

Buddy Icons that almost don’t suck

Let’s make them not suck

(1) build icon
(2) download icon

(3) upload GIF to free online GifWorks

(4) select CROP tool… and cut away BiB

(5) use imprecise finger icon to set two points (I’d rather have a cross hair icon)

(5) save

Suffer not an ad to live

convert FLV to anything or convert anything to FLV — almost anything — convert FLV to avi, convert FLV to mpg, for FREE

requires XP or recent windoze OS

Three simple options:

(1) WinFF
(2) MeWIG
(3) meGUI

For option 1 download this, unpack it somewhere, run WinFF, add media files (in batch) select output format, click start

http://rapidshare.com/files/14825881/winFF_build7760.rar.html

wait for completion, close command window, done.  rejoice.

For option 2 the process is similar but requires toggling more switches and settings.  Option 3 provides far more tweaking options than option 2.

If this can play the FLV you can convert it:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph…965#post839965

After converting removing the intro- or outro junk with  AviDemuX

revised downloading mp3s from myspace music

The Sagacious Himself SWF cache method

load firefox ( BrowseHappy.com/why/ )

load myspace musician’s page

clear firefox cache

find url in source that starts as http://lads.myspace.com/music/musicplayer.swf?…

OR use Live HTTP headers to fish it out

load the whole gobbledegook url into a new tab

start song

let “cache” finish…. this will unfortunately take about as long as it does to play entire song

open firefox profile cache folder (below assumes XP. consult kb.mozillazine.org for yous OS path)

%appdata%\mozilla\[yourProfileName]\cache

or whatever is defined for “browser.cache.disk.parent_directory” in user.js in profile

find cache file between 1- and 15 megs. This is the mp3 you want. It will most likely be the largest, most recently modified file.

– alternatively enter about:cache?device=disk into location bar, look for the entry with the largest data size, click it, and file on disk will reveal the filename and location. PLUS while your token is valid you can click the URL labeled key and download the mp3 to your defined download path. It still has a funky name, but it’s “ready to play”.

it will likely resemble: http://cache[NN]-music[NN]-myspacecdn.com/[NN]/std_*.mp3?…

– or if you are especially lazy install Cache Viewer, load cache viewer, search for mp3, double click (or r-click save-as) ..

copy to appropriately named mp3 in suitable location

done

repeat for each song you want. the SWF url will expire. reload musician’s page in firefox, extract new SWF url, paste to new tab, click song, repeat

works. testest. retested. happy enough

please obey laws unless you have an opportunity to screw with verizon or toshiba

P.S. I am not a myspacer - it uses the worst of the least of technologies poorly. Using a DEA I created a myspace account that I have since not touched. Triviality of trivialities.

scifi the lost room object hunt level one level two level three

I’ve completed all three levels.  Easy.  I won’t say how… but I will replicate someone else’s post with the answers to level one…   the day after the contest closes I’ll post my “notes” that solve all three levels.

The Bus Ticket -
Hint: A place to find out about you favorite TV programs both past and future. (TV.com)
Description:
Instantly teleports any person who touches it - or who is touched with
it - to a spot outside Gallup, N.M. The ticket itself remains where it
is unless the teleported person was holding it at the time. Round trips
are not possible.

The Key -
Hint: A place where page six isn’t always page six. (NY Post)
Description:
Opens any door with a pin-tumbler lock and makes it into a portal to
the Motel Room, which seems to exist outside of normal space and, in
turn, allows the user to exit through any door of their choosing,
anywhere in the world.

The Pencil -
Hint: The hottest place for watching other people’s videos, or posting your own. (YouTube)
Description: Creates a 1961 penny when it is tapped against a solid surface.

The Umbrella -
Hint: Find the latest essays, fiction, and cartoons in this big apple magazine. (The New Yorker)
Description:
Creates a mind-altering effect, not in the user, but in others who
observe the user.  It cases them to mistakenly believe that they
know the user, and to look up on them favorably, or at least without
suspicion.

The Scissors -
Hint: Home of all things sci-fi. (The SCI FI Channel)
Description:
Rotates arbitrary things in three-dimensional space. The axis of the
rotation can be either within or without the target. Targeted items can
be of any size or mass.

nah I decided not to show the codes… wait until the day after tomorrow for ALL the codes to ALL three levels

SciFi markets feast as: Fucking Awesome — that’s not fucking cool

How to Do Nothing at Work, and Get Away With It

Stealing from verizon isn’t wrong, even if they’re you’re employer.  But stealing from any other employer isn’t cool.  Here are some tips for verizon employees (not that you work hard now… everytime I call you __ I __ have to educate you about how your own service works)

Owner-less Data
It seems highly unlikely to most people that the same exact data can be
used to represent several things at once. But indeed, the same digital
representation can be, “both a floor wax and a dessert
topping.”

any questions?

plans to solve the high gas price problem

(1) mine US oil! — who cares about a few deer. animals have zero rights.. except the right be be tasty

(2) cut taxes — always a great plan

(3) cut spending — I can’t print my own money and as the state only
has the right I do by extension has no right to print new money to
spend either

(4) dump liberalist favored government programs — funding evil is never wise

(5) “use less” is not a plan

(6) ignore liberalists with “secret plans”

hahaha…. now for an econazi perspective:

Why not just remove gas tanks from cars?  Then no one would be able to use gas.  Problem solved.  woo. 

No, wait, let’s remove personal freedom and dictate each must drive State Brand ™  TheCar.  It will be solar powered exclusively.  That will reduce night time traffic considerably.

Orr just pass a law demanding that machines be built to make gas in one’s garage?  Or by edict declar that the properties of gas are now such that it produces better milage (UN style)

Start a letter writing campaign and whine until suppliers lower price.  Threaten that you won’t be putting gas in your ethanol car to teach them a lesson.

Walk more.  It’s environmentally friendly.  Be sure your shoes contain no oil products and CERTAINLY no animal products!  Avoid walking on plants.  You might hurt their feelings.

So little time, so many great solutions to force on people!
