So, you just came back from summer vacation and now you have 10,000 comments spread across your blogs. What do you do? Instead of paginating through 20 at a time, and taking hours to delete your comments that you’re sure are not legit anyway, you can mass delete them from phpmyadmin or from the mysql command line instead. Just login to phpmyadmin, or select the database you want to use via the cli (use databasename;)...

Like me, you may be hosting your Prosper 202 installation on a cheap hosting account. This may lead to issues if you want to import the GEOIP database so you can track by country. Many hosts won’t allow a file this large (20 something megabytes) via phpmyadmin. So, how do you get around this? In my case, it was pretty simple. I went to the control panel for my hosting, added a new database user that was allowed to connect from anywhere....

Have office? Want to get rid of that annoying “have you tried live office yet?” popup, that just doesn’t go away? Create a new file on your desktop, called “officefix.txt” Paste this into it; Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OfficeLive] "FirstRunCredsDeleted"=dword:00000001 "FirstRunDontShow"=dword:00000001 Then rename that file to officefix.reg Double click it to add it to your registry.

So, if you used proxy at x.x.x.x it would go out x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y would go out y.y.y.y and so on. After a little digging we found a neat little script written for FreeBSD that would parse all available IP’s on the box and generate the squid configuration for you, saving hours of tedious hand typing....

It’s been a while since we posted about anything important. Sorry about that guys, some other stuff is taking off and haven’t had much time to devote to this site. Today we present you with a little article about war dialing. If you’re not familiar with war dialing, it’s a term from the BBS era, when we’d use things like Toneloc, and Bluebeep to search for modems that answered. This would give us huge lists of BBS’s, banks, government offices and all sorts of cool things we could try to login to, or just share with friends....
