A while back I bought a smartphone, but not talking about that. The focus here is the P65 warning that was on the package. Continue reading CFE: P65 Warning

FOM: File Name Dates
File Organization/Management: File Name Dates
Today is 2020-03-13.
On a computer, there is only one ‘correct’ format for entering that date. Year-Month-Day. Year done as four digits, month and day as two digits, with a minus sign linking them together. Continue reading FOM: File Name Dates

WordPress Hack Attempts
Running a website, both this one and others I am involved with, grants a different view on the ‘hacking’ that is often reported in the news. For one thing, attacks are more or less constant. An unfortunate part of having an internet accessible computer, someone is bound to poke at it. So I do what I can to defend against those attacks. Continue reading WordPress Hack Attempts
PAHC: Review of 2019
Pseudo Anonymous Hit Counter: Review of 2019
Unlike last year, there was no excitement in viewers over the past year. Increase in total numbers, but not massively so. The numbers from China were unexpected, but not that large. In the end, this should be a rather boring review. Continue reading PAHC: Review of 2019

Pseudo Anonymous Hit Counter: Review of 2018
The entire reason this post, and by extension the previous PAHC post were made is because of what happened on 2018-08-14. Continue reading PAHC: Review of 2018
How to use uBlock Origin
When I use a computer belonging to someone else, I am often amazed by the amount of junk that websites toss at their users. Ads, pop-ups, singing and dancing, junk everywhere. If you ignored the distraction, all that stuff is still a bad idea. It slows down the system, running code that has no value to the owner of the system (which is arguable a violation of anti-hacking laws). Continue reading How to use uBlock Origin
Full Circle
I was reading Dilbert on Sunday and I realized we’ve come full circle.
Originally, computers existed for work, and only work. Even the ‘games’ were more about experimenting and learning then anything else. The idea of something like ‘social networking’ was beyond comprehension. Continue reading Full Circle
