Whatever you do: don’t chose One (formerly known as B-One) as your web hosting solution. I first chose them because they seemed cheap, and had a nice site (a very bad way of deciding).
It first began when I asked if they could update PHP to PHP5 from PHP4. Sometime around that, I also asked if they could install other modules for PHP. The answer I got from both questions was that they were unable to change the options.
PHP4 was not the only antique software that they were using. MySQL version: 4.0.24. MySQL 5.0.24 was released in the beginning of this month. One’s phpMyAdmin version? 2.5.7. Latest phpMyAdmin release? 2.9.1. I should say that they now actually offer to upgrade to PHP5, but the other problems remain.
As if this wasn’t enough, my site is down on average several minutes every day. Today, I got an unusual error: The entire site was returning HTTP 403 wherever I went. I tried connecting through FTP: “421: Unable to set up a secure chroot() jail”. Fortunately, their English live support was online.
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with ‘Kaychelle’
Kaychelle: Thank you for using One.com 24/7 Interactive Online Support. My name is Kaye. How may I assist you?
Tim: Hi Kaye. My site is returning HTTP 403 when I try to connect to it over HTTP
Tim: And “421: Unable to set up a secure chroot() jail” on FTP
Kaychelle: We do not support https
Kaychelle: Secure socket layer is not supported
Tim: That is highly irrelevant to my problem, isn’t it?
Kaychelle: Are you trying to setup a secure connection?
Tim: No
Tim: Neither through FTP nor HTTP
Kaychelle: can you explain your concern?
Tim: My concern is that I am being denied the service that I am being charged for
Kaychelle: I am not getting you. Are you just trying to access the FTP?
Tim: I am trying to access both the HTTP and the FTP — neither works.
Tim: Try yourself: http://gurka.se
Kaychelle: Please hold on while I check
Tim: I just did
Tim: Are you a real person?
Kaychelle: Yes
Kaychelle: I cannot access your FTP, since when did you last access it?
Kaychelle: Since when did it stop working?
Tim: Earlier today
Tim: I think it stopped working about an hour ago
Kaychelle: Which FTP program are you using?
Tim: gFTP 2.0.18
Tim: However, I am more concered that the server responds with 403 on HTTP
Kaychelle: Before that, did you make any changes?
Tim: No.
Kaychelle: Are you sure you have an index file on your root directory?
Tim: No. I had one, but I cannot verify that it is there, because I cannot access the FTP
Kaychelle: I resetted your domain name. You can get back to us after an hour if it still does not work. Also try to delete your temporary files and restart your computer.
Tim: What does resetting a domain name mean?
Kaychelle: Refreshing your server
Tim: By the way, it works again now. Thank you.
Kaychelle: You are welcome.
Kaychelle: Please feel free to contact us again for any further assistance. Good Bye and have a nice time.

Note that between my “Try yourself” and Kaye’s “Please hold on while I check”, five minutes passed.
Never, ever chose One/B-One for web hosting. It would not surprise me if they were found to have signed a contract with Satan.
Matt Cutts, the spam team director of at Google, was holding a speech for a large audience, trying to convince them that spam is evil. In order to show something, he let the audience jump up and down. Unfortunately, Stephen Hawking was there, and when he attempted to jump, he died.
Short dream, so I can’t really figure out the message.
It’s possible, and in fact very easy, to send POST variables with Javascript. I’m posting it here because I had some trouble coming up with a solution.
The only thing you have to do is to put an HTML form on a site, and use Javascript to submit it. If you don’t want the form to be visible, you can have the fields hidden. Here is a sample HTML code:
Use this JS function to submit the form:
function jsPost() {
document.theForm.submit();
}It can be called in any way, for instance in a hyperlink:
Submit
Or as an event, like on body load:
This was a scary one. I dreamt it when I fell asleep on a train, probably thinking about MediaWiki. Anyway, this wasn’t a concrete dream, it was about a concept: A sleep wiki. Not your everyday wiki about sleep — it was a place where you slept, in wiki-style.
I don’t have the details clear, but there were a lot of people laying on the floor, sleeping (with their clothes on). Now and then, someone awoke and someone else went there to sleep. It was a pile of sleeping people — that anyone could edit!cheyenne silver moviescurvy moviesmovies sex free samplemovie free teenmovies bang gangmovies porn male gaymovies bound tv gagged in girlsmovie sex homemade Mapmovs ebony pornebony orgies pornebony porn xxx picsebony porn previewsrss 2.0 ebony pornporn star ebonystar porn pinky ebonythumbnails porn ebony Map

Respect them, fear them
I hate the binomial theorem. I hate the binomial theorem. I hate the binomial theorem. Math is usually all subtle and stuff, but now there are HUGE coefficents!

MediaWiki
The MediaWiki software works for anything, really. If you have a website of your own, you can have a closed wiki that only you can edit. When I and a friend wrote the BounceFuck esoteric programming language, we put up a BounceFuck wiki. We recently set up a (Swedish) wiki for an IRC channel, too: #hoggy wiki. There’s nothing that a wiki can’t be used for.financial american creditaccept card credit info acceptcard a link credit addabout credit scorecards 100 best creditcard 0 credit andcard credit 3separate file business credit new 2incorporate Map
I remembered two dreams this morning.
I was going to meet my girlfriend, but the police had electronically tagged me, so I was only allowed to walk between the police and my family’s cottage that apparently was there. While being stuck, I was playing Nintendo 64. I was Peach, and flew through everything until I died. I found two super-controllers next to the Nintendo 64, though, that had touchpads instead of levers.
After this, I thought about what to do, and decided that I could go to the police and ask for how long I had to wear this tag. When I arrived, I ate something, but when I was satiated, I saw everyone else wearing protective wear against radioactive waste, and so ran away. On my way back to the cottage, I crosse a soccer field. One of the kids hit me with the ball, and laughed. Another one laughed, and then I imitated their laughter, which made them angry, and they started to hit me. I punched one and kept walking.
However, I was lost — everywhere, I saw soccer kids hiding, and I even heard one of them whisper that he would break my ribs. I started running, and after a while, I came to a train station. I kept running and came to the cottage. It said 0 on the tag, and so I removed it. After that, I woke up.

I was a circle avoiding spaceships that shot fireballs. However, a bug made lots of spaceships come and throw fireballs at the same time. All spaceships were wearing eye glasses, and I think my illustration below is a rather exact copy of what I dreamt.

Quick stumble before my sleep
Don’t want to rate poo
I was just going to Stumble Upon just one more thing before I went to bed. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon RateMyPoo.com. Not that I got stuck rating, I was just disgusted. Promise.
Everyone knows that programming can get a bit boring after a while. How many times have you not become bored of writing your code just like you write text, line after line, from left to right? Most have.
That is where esoteric programming languages come into the picture. From Wikipedia:
An esoteric programming language (sometimes shortened to esolang) is a programming language designed as a test of the boundaries of computer programming language design [...]
Give yourself a challenge and test your boundaries, too. In BounceFuck, the code is written in a two-dimensional matrix, and the code flow can be redirected into eight different directions with mirrors and arrows.
Here is the Hello World example from the BounceFuck main page:
/ Q/++++++\\
Q/\\/\\/\\Q/!}| _+
$++++++\\.!++{\\|
/++++++/+++.\\.+
\\++++++\\++++Q++
/++++++/\\O - ++
\\++++++\\ -/+++\\
/++++++/ -/\\++/
\\/\\/\\/\\.Q----\\ /
/-.+++.OQ----/
\\-----.Q
.
I’ve also written an online interpreter for BounceFuck in PHP.
