I&#8217;m a systems administrator, not a media guru.&nbsp;;-) </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ZaphodB/~4/2MlH5-6MkyA" height="1" width="1"/>http://blog.zaphods.net/2009/04/20/music-video-product-placement/num422009-04-06T13:08:24-07:00http://www.megabot.nl/wp/?p=35

I <a href="http://zap.li/picasa">tried</a> several of those myself and was unable to find even a single one that does it alright so i thought i&#8217;d just try punching something up&nbsp;myself. </p> <p>That however was not all that simple as i found out you cannot simply redirect to any <span class="caps">URL</span> someone punches in, you have to encode it to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode">punycode</a> because <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/"><span class="caps">HTTP</span></a> seems to be 7bit-clean for the header part. No i haven&#8217;t really looked into it at all, maybe i should.&nbsp;;) </p> <p>It&#8217;s written in <a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/">Django</a> and kept <em>very</em> simple for&nbsp;now. </p> <p>Thats just about it. Maybe i&#8217;ll even add personalized accounts where you can avoid expiration of the redirection later, for now please do not hesitate to send feature&nbsp;requests. </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ZaphodB/~4/t0o-p6Osd_A" height="1" width="1"/>http://blog.zaphods.net/2009/03/10/zapli-aka-inturlr-internationalized-non-sanitizing-tiny-uniform-resource-locator-redirection/http://blog.zaphods.net/2009/02/16/omnious-self-repairing-laptop-battery/2009-02-16T10:42:33Z2009-02-16T10:34:09Z<p>Ok, so not long ago i though, hmm my laptop battery is rapidly degrading, and <a href="http://www.emeraldion.it/software/macosx/minibatterylogger.html">Mini Battery Logger</a> claims it has like 4 months of life left, now i&#8217;m not so sure&nbsp;anymore&#8230; </p> <p><img src="/media/Picture%201.png" alt="mini battery logger status"/> </p> <p><img src="/media/Picture%202.png" alt="mini battery logger health"/> </p> <p>This is a bit weird&nbsp;right? </p> <p>No there has not been anymore battery &#8216;firmware&#8217; patches by Apple as far as i can&nbsp;remember. </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ZaphodB/~4/LLBtSaylOfk" height="1" width="1"/>http://blog.zaphods.net/2009/02/16/omnious-self-repairing-laptop-battery/num422009-02-11T13:36:15-08:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PSyiRXIEycweird shit ;)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ZaphodB/~4/Lh9rLMZREeI" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PSyiRXIEycnum422009-02-08T10:42:16-08:00http://edns-ping.org/Bert Hubert (PowerDNS author) has written a draft on an DNS Extension named EDNS PING that has the potential to widen DNS packet keyspace enough to provide mid term protection against Kaminsky-style DNS Spoofing or Cache Poisoning attacks.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ZaphodB/~4/tx5cEiFYTAw" height="1" width="1"/> http://edns-ping.org/http://blog.zaphods.net/2009/01/27/oneliner/2009-01-26T05:41:05Z2009-01-27T12:00:00Z<p><code> for table in <code>mysql more_power -e &quot;show tables;&quot;|grep -v &quot;\-\-\-&quot;|grep -v ^T</code>; do mysql more_power -e &quot;<span class="caps">ALTER</span> <span class="caps">TABLE</span> $table <span class="caps">ENGINE</span>=InnoDB;&quot;; done </code> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ZaphodB/~4/pQjMSn6ghe8" height="1" width="1"/>http://blog.zaphods.net/2009/01/27/oneliner/num422009-01-25T09:42:49-08:00http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/energy-efficient-motherboard,2067-12.html
