Google Referrer Using Redirect
2007-05-02 01:25:00 So, just in the past couple of days, I started seeing the referrer URLs from Google .com in the following format. http://www.google.com/url?q=http://clever hack.com/category/tech/page/3/&sa=D&# 38;usg=AFrqEzf8B4L3sqq1hwGNYSLtBbO9HB8P3g What’s unique about the referrer URL is that it’s a redirect and my logs are showing the incoming search term as http://cleverhack.com/category/tech/page/ 3/ from Google, which doesn’t seem right at all. In a perfect world you’d ... More About: Internet , Tech , Sing , Ferr
Apple Laptop Battery Issues, or as we might say, ?recall?
2007-04-29 04:05:00 I was browsing the news sites today, and stumbled upon this wire article mentioning Apple battery issues, I just had to take a look.

Idiot spammer
2007-04-27 08:06:00 Idiot spammer trying to use my domain as a reply-to address. Interesting things to note about this bounce message. This looks like some sort of mess up on the spammer’s part since the headers are riddled with html tags and spaces in the email addresses, which is probably due in part to whatever email harvester ...

uncov Web 2.0
2007-04-14 21:18:00 Marjolein turned me onto uncov, a group blog with some pithy, informed, jaundiced analysis about the pure promotional and technological goofiness of Web 2.0 from a developer’s view. (Well, I don’t know that they are developers, but they sure sound like them.) It’s a really good, giggly (if I may say so myself) from the ... More About: Internet , Tech

2007-04-10 01:39:00 Does anyone know how to get gum (yes, chewing gum) off of an iMac display without ruining the display? I have a feeling peanut butter won’t work. Technorati Tags: iMac display
music track names
2007-04-02 01:12:00 Oh, boy this is an oldie but goodie kind of question… I’m dorking around with my music collection when I realize that I’ve got tracks with no album or artist info. I’m trying to import this all into iTunes where, of course, I can’t grab CCDB info because a number of these are compilations. Any ideas ... More About: Music , Name , Track , Rack , Ames
And what did I accomplish today?
2007-03-18 23:23:00 Why I was motivated to perfect my desktop setup here at casa de cleverhack and plug in the external monitor I bought a way while back to the MacBook Pro.

Ding Dong! Visual FoxPro is (nearly) dead!
2007-03-17 18:34:00 Kind of not surprised to learn that Microsoft has finally announced an EOL for that “more robust than Access ever will be” database language Visual FoxPro. This does not surprise me as all of the FoxPro programmers I’ve known are a bit older than myself. Technorati Tags: Microsoft VisualFoxPro, database programming, old ...

topix.net redirect to .com?
2007-03-14 11:59:00 There was this article in [usually a subscription] yesterday’s Wall Street Journal about, basically, how a large number of companies have lost traffic because of either a change on their Web site or a change in the search engine agorithim, basically, just about everyone has a story about losing traffic. Two thoughts I had about the ... More About: Direct , Topix , Redirect , Dire , Rect
That iPhone ad rocks!
2007-03-14 11:40:00 Nothing like Apple jazzing up the faithful with an iPhone ad on the side of the 5th Avenue store… And, oh, I think that people sitting in the plaza right next to the store is really cool!

iPhone marketing idea
2007-01-27 18:21:00 So I heard the rumor about Cingular offering a cheap service plan for iPhone users and while the rumor seems extremely farfetched, it got me thinking. If I were part of the Cingular/AT&T marketing team, and I was hoping to lure folks from the other carriers, I would offer some sort of rebate or refund ...

open i search
2007-01-24 01:00:00 Yet another search engine called Open ISearch , which bills itself as “The Ultimate Search Engine”. It’s not released yet, and the link sends you to a landing page. However, the search engine is already sending out a bot on the World Wide Web. Host: 216.182.238.75 /2006/08/13/ninth-cleverhack-podcast/ Http Code: 200 Date: Jan ...
Holistic SEO
2007-01-21 19:07:00 I had written the following comment in response to a tiny little bit of handwringing about how SEOs are killing Google… I do SEO oriented Web design for a living, and I?m convinced that backlinks are just one of many factors that make a page worthy in Google?s eyes. Just like Page Rank and meta keywords, ... More About: Holistic , List
A Hardware Note
2007-01-20 02:28:00 I do think the trusty PowerBook is going to be replaced before June, when Leopard is supposedly released. I just have a a feeling about that.

For those Mac OS X geeks
2007-01-18 02:44:00 Would there be any reason that an Mac OS X compatible FTP client, like, say cyberduck would not be able to view an .asp file within an IIS FTP virtual directory? For some added drama, if you answer with what I think went wrong, I get to win a bet. Technorati Tags: FTP, Mac ... More About: Geeks , Geek , Those , Hose
Quantcast
More articles from this author:2007-01-18 02:03:00 Quantcast is a new Alexa like traffic ranking service. In order for the service to work properly, you’re supposed to add a bit of javascript to your site. For the initial stats on cleverhack, all I can say is that they are way off.
