We Are The Internet

DROA
April 30th, 2006Recently a UK-based domain registration service provider called “Domain Registry of America” has sent out subscription offers for already reserved .com-domains.
If you received one of these letters you can safely ignore them. It says: “You must renew your domain name to retain exclusive rights[…]”. This is an assumption. Domain subscriptions are renewed annually per default with most registration service providers.
Needless to say that the price of 26€ for an annual subscription is too expensive. Everything above 20€ (incl. VAT) is definitely far too expensive for .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info top level domains.

April 29th, 2006Kill Bill’s Browser
April 29th, 2006You already want people to switch to Firefox. Now’s the time to get serious about it. Google is paying $1 for each new Firefox user you refer.
This is pretty amazing. Now you can advance your ideals, save people from popups and spyware hell, and make some serious money. Millions of people have heard about Firefox and are ready to switch–all they need is a friendly push.
That’s where these scripts come in. They’re specially formulated to give just the right push, maximizing souls-saved and dollars-for-you.

Servant Salamander 2.5 RC1
April 28th, 2006Finally the release candidate of the long-awaited version 2.5 of the best file manager for Windows has arrived. Version 2.0 was released back in February 2001. Since March 2003 beta versions of Servant Salamander 2.5 have been released periodically. The last one was version 2.5 beta 11.
I have used Servant Salamander since 1999 because of the following killer features:
- Built-In FTP-, SCP- and Registry-browsing
- Graphics viewer (conversions, screenshots, rotation)
- Office viewer (Excel, Word, PDF quick(!) view)
- Recursively change attributes, case, date information
- Powerful file renaming, undelete, packing, enrypting utilities
- Powerful file and recursive directory comparison
- Completely keyboard controlled
- Only a small shareware fee that pays off definitely

Pumpkin Potato Soup
March 31st, 2006Potatoes and pumpkins are healthy. Why not make a soup of both? Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients:
- Pumpkin (one half)
- Potatoes (3-4)
- Soup cubes
- Caraway (Kümmel)
- Nutmeg (Muskatnuss)
- Milk
- Sour cream
- Ginger
- Salt
Slice the pumpkin and the potatoes into small cubes and put them into a pot containing hot water. Add salt, soup cubes, grained caraway, ginger and one nutmeg. Cook and mash the whole thing well but get rid of the nutmeg before you damage your equipment. Finally add a shot of milk and/or sour cream and stir. Before you serve the soup, you may add a shot of pumpkin seed oil as shown in the picture. Gives some nice effect.
