I usually pulls out of topics like these, but when I bump to this Calvin & Hobbes pic, I knew I had to post this:

The original article is in Gawker article here, where it points out Americans are in it for 10 more years before their income level can be back to where it was 10 years ago. That’s a total of 20 years of income pit.

What happened to the tax-the-rich plan? Calvin & Hobbes know best.

That’s it. Good bye comments.

After being in a hiatus for over 4 months I have 430+ comments and every single one of them (yes, I’ve checked) are spam. That’s WITH Captcha filter.

So since I wouldn’t be able to check the comments in a feasible frequency and to clean up the SQL, I believe when people actually would like to comment they have all my contact info in the writer’s bio.

Yay!

A pain on my butt the past few months on the last few revisions of VLC players is the problem of skipping back when playing Matroska (.MKV) files. The problem is when it catches a chapter transition, it would skip back to the beginning of the video or the previous chapters.

So far, possible solutions are to manually skip ahead or fast forward right before chapter change, or really, just use Classic Media Player (CMP). But I’m not into switching VLC and other player when playing my videos, so I tried to find another solution.

And I finally find a working work-around! The source is here: VideoLAN Forum

To quote,

After tinkering around with some settings, I found a work-around to the problem.
1) Preferences -> show all settings
2) Input/Codecs -> Demuxers -> Matroska
3) Untick “Ordered Chapters”

I’ve tested it with VLC 1.1.5 to 1.1.7. The last step is to restart the player once you save the changes, and you’re good to go! Thank you, gaz090!

So here I am, upgrading to the latest WordPress to patch up a few holes… ended up reading a few interesting links and articles.

How to Secure Joomla: Although it revolves around Joomla, many tips actually applicable to other CMS systems (like WordPress) and regular hosted websites. 

Default Passwords: Title says it all. You can browse by letters, or manufacturers’ defaults, or submit your own. Incase you still don’t get it… this is the list of what NOT to use as your password.

SecureLive: Nifty program that can secure your CMS (and others) installation package as a plug-in of that package that continuosly active to scan every suspicious activity on your installation. Pricey, but they have a free WordPress plug-in.
