Running PHP on your web server?  Well looks like the site where the code is hosted was hacked.  From initial reports it appears the PHP source should be intact, but that could change at any time so be prepared for some quick upgrading to eliminate purposefully injected bugs.

Just added an Android apps area to the site.  Right now it contains 2 Tasker profiles/tasks sets.  The first will allow you to add a menu to your main screen which can switch between preset volume profiles.  The second is a modified version of the Missed Notification profiles/tasks off the the Tasker wiki which integrates with the volume profiles set to provide better vibrate setting detection.

Broke E-mail

The doctor is examining a patient who is in a great deal of pain. He puts his stethoscope up to the guy's thigh and hears, "Give me $10, please! I'm desperate! I have no money, and I only need $10!"

 

The doctor puts his stethoscope up to the guys' knee and hears, "Please! You've got to help me! I can get by with $5, even! Just $5! Please! I haven't any money, even $5 will help."

 

Finally, the doctor listens to the patient's ankle, "How about $20! $15! Anything! I'm flat out of cash, please lend me something, just this once!" "Hmmm." says the doctor. "This could be serious." "What!" says the patient, alarmed. "What's wrong!?" "It appears," the doctor replies, "that your leg is broke in three places."

NoScript for Chrome E-mail

NotScript

Google Chrome has been making huge strides recently, especially in terms of speed.  It's sandbox'd nature also is a huge benefit to make exploitation difficult (not impossible).  The biggest lacking I've found is a NoScript like extension (similar to Firefox's).  Well there is a new extension out called NotScript for Chrome that provides at least some level of script filtering.  Of course you can use Chrome's own built-in script protection but that only gives you the option of whitelisting every single script, no matter what the source, for a given site, or block them all.  NotScript, at least for a first release, appears to offer at least some added protection while still giving the fine grained control that NoScript gave us in Firefox.

You can grab a copy over at Google Extensions.

Fglrx jumpy flash video tips E-mail
Written by Eric

Running linux with the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx) and having issues with jumpiness or tearing?  If so here are a few tips and tricks:

1) If you can, use the open source driver.  This works far better for tearing.  Reasons not to are:

a) Using a system where you want power management for either temperature control or power saving

b) You have an HD 5xxx series radeon

2) Enable textured video syncing(in /etc/X11/xorg.conf):

Section "Device"

..............

Option      "TexturedVideoSync" "on"

EndSection

3) Enable vertical syncing(in /etc/X11/xorg.conf):

Section "Device"

................

Option      "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
EndSection

4) Install Compiz (this is a big one).  Compiz has a video acceleration plugin which works wonders for reducing tearing and jumpiness.  Very effective.
