| Phish stick |
| 04.26.04 (6:48 am) [edit] |
Phil Libin from CoreStreet Software has released a beta version of Spoofstick, a browser plug-in that is intended to help alert you when you are directed to a website that is not who it claims to be.
Phishing is the technical term for an identity theft scam that involves directing users to a phony website that looks just like the original - eBay or Amazon, for example - in order to entice the user into entering password and credit card info. Some recently revealed bugs in Internet Explorer have made this trick pretty easy to pull off.
Spoofstick adds a bar to the top of your browser that shows in large text the name of the domain you are really browsing, making it (hopefully) easy to see when you are being phished.
Download Spoofstick here.

| Slimy search engine spam trick of the day |
| 04.13.04 (12:44 pm) [edit] |
I was doing a little research for work today, looking for a software product to fit some of our needs, and Google served me up a link to this guy's get rich quick site.
Here's what this spammer does. He's got many pages on his site, each one optimized for a particular keyword or phrase. If you request one of his pages, his server does a query to Google, using the page's keywords, and appends Google's results to the bottom of the page before delivering it to you.
Ergo, whenever Google's web spider crawls his pages, his pages spit Google's own text back at it. And Google indexes his page with a description that belongs to someone else. It seems to work pretty well, too - his site was first result shown for my search.
I checked out the home page at the root of his domain, and ... big surprise ... he's selling a book on how to get the number one web ranking in Google. For $129 a copy, going up to almost $200 a copy [i]if you don't act right now![/i]

| Linux and Windows, side by side |

LinuxWorld is running a story about CoLinux, a new distribution of Linux that can run simultaneously with Windows 2000/XP, sharing resources, and without requiring the use of a virtual machine.
Sweet!

Very cool. I submitted Berry's Best Events to Google and Yahoo on Tuesday, and neither one of them has indexed the new site yet. But it appears that Google is crawling this tBLOG page almost daily, so if you do a search for "Berry's Best Events", it should bring you here...and from here, you can get there: Atlanta Wedding Planner.

The website is up! (Atlanta Wedding Planner)
I'm glad Sam was happy with it...this is the first website I have designed from the ground up without anyone else's creative input. It was a fun project, and a good opportunity to try out a few new tricks with layout and DHTML.
