I signed up for the paid seoblackhat forums there about a month ago to see what it was all about. It cost $100 which is no chump change and it’s a recurring subscription. I just cancelled it there, some info was alright but not great and I’m off to the States for a month soon […]

three 3g ‘broadband’
Finally got some degree of broadband net access to our house here a few miles outside Ennis, County Clare. ADSL never worked according to the eircom website and cable was obviously a non runner when you’re out in the middle of nowhere. Then last week I heard that three were offering broadband of up to […]
Voted today
Voted for the first time in a general election today. I literally made up my mind at the polling station. I generally agree with Fianna Fail and PD objectives so in order of preference I went: Timmy Dooley, Brendan Daly, Tony Killeen (all FF) and Murt Collins (PD). I don’t think I’ll ever vote for […]
Solving captchas in your blackhat scripts
Been playing a lot with blackhat stuff and writing PHP scripts to spam your links to as many places as possible. Most of these forums, guestbooks and blogs now have captchas but there’s a few ways around them. You can setup a crappy porn site and get people to solve captchas to see your content. […]

Been looking for ages for a way to backup the data on my money-making sites which is over 100GB. I’d be finished if my server crashed and I lost all that. So I exported the database as a big 104GB SQL file and started downloading to my external hard drive from college which was going […]
site down
Blog finally back up. I had to setup nameservers on this server and my machine in the states, ran into loads of problems of course, I can get nothing right off the bat. Money making site took preference so this blog was out in the wind for a few days. Email still not working and […]
mysql goes over max connections with loads of sleep queries in processlist
Getting weird problems with my server that put it out of the action for most of the day. The error being reported was too many connections which I thought is a nice problem to have as loads of people using my website. But when I ran ‘SHOW PROCESSLIST;’ in mysql it showed loads of sleep […]
search bebo
The old way to search bebo for old friends was through Google which was crap as they haven’t indexed all profiles yet. The solution? Use Bigulo the Bebo search engine developed by a Des Traynor doing a PhD in computer science. It also lets you check who has the most friends and who’s rated the […]
