Formspring is a social networking site that allows its users to send and receive anonymous questions. Lately there’s been a rumor circulating the internet about an April Fools joke by the CEO of Formspring. Apparently, he thought it would be funny to unveil the anonymous question-askers. People have been asking questions anonymously for months now, and this ‘joke’ would make it so that there was no anonymity on the site. This is a hoax.

Everybody loves free fonts, right? dafont.com provides an awesome service of letting people download free fonts. I’ve recently created a torrent of zipped fonts, so that you can get 45 fonts from dafont.com completely free, and much faster than having to download and unzip each and every one individually from dafont.com.
Here’s a page where you can find the sites offering a download of the torrent: Torrentz.com

Looking for a free MySpace status update bot? You’ve come to the right place. Here you’ll find a download link to PureStatus, the only free status update bot around. Freelancers try to sell these for $50 and up, but I’m releasing to the public for free.
Why am I doing this? At first, I exclusively released PureStatus to members of PureAdds, a free MySpace friend adding site… but now you can download it for free. This MySpace Status Update Bot is a simple Windows program that updates your MySpace status whenever you want. This helps you promote things, get referrals, and keep a constant flow of MySpace status updates coming from your profile. This uses your computer to post MySpace status updates to your MySpace profile as much as you want, so that you can promote even while you sleep!

I’ve wasted too many hours on FMyLife, as I’m sure you have too. So let’s find some more sites to waste time on!
The same idea as FMyLife, with a different theme. Instead of posting about miserable experiences, people post about how they’re normal.. sort of. The site started out by making jabs at FMyLife, making numerous references to their predecessor, but has since developed their own niche that they manage very well.
Today I installed a program and it asked if I had read and agreed to the terms and conditions. I hadn’t, but I clicked ‘yes’ anyway. The program didn’t know I lied, and began to install. MLIA.

After Google released their real-time search, I decided that I wanted to make a Firefox add-on that allowed you to search real-time with Firefox. I quickly got to work on the search add-on, and published it an hour later.

Yet another reason not to like AT&T. While us geeks caught on very quickly, other people fell victim to AT&T’s “Plan Comparison”. For those who don’t understand internet speeds, this chart seemed to be a helpful diagram to allow them to see which plan they needed… or so they thought. AT&T decided to put outrageous things on the diagram, making it looked like you needed 12 Mb/s (megabits per second) just to stream videos from YouTube. What a joke!

genRandStr() creates a random string, with parameters to control length, type of characters, and also the ability to create an array of these randomized strings with the established properties (as opposed to running the function multiple times, which would require program to loop through the logic portion of the function again and again). Strings can be numeric, alphanumeric uppercase, alphanumeric lowercase, alpha lowercase, and alpha uppercase.
This random string function can be found at php.net, submitted as a “User Contributed Note” which can be found here.

It’s five ‘o clock in the morning, and my brain is hard at work, brainstorming potential projects. For the past few hours I’ve been thinking of new projects that I’d like to take on. I’ll be compiling a short list of what I’ve brainstormed so far, just to document my ideas, and add some more content to the site. Below, you’ll find my list of three potential projects, in no particular order:

As we talked about last time, Media Temple’s servers got cracked, and many people’s passwords were stolen. In addition, many codes were added to people’s files. According to Jeffrey Barke, there were codes injected in index.php, and while there were codes injected in other parts of the site, I’d like to take a look at index.php’s code:
