Review of ReliableSite.net

I have now been using ReliableSite.net for quite some time and I would like to update my last review.

One of my main issues with ReliableSite was that they had not implemented automated billing. This has long since been resolved and you can subscribe to their services via paypal payments.

The site has in deed been "reliable", and MauricioZuniga.com has been running on their clustered server for more than a few months. However, it seems that they are now only offering dedicated servers and shared solutions (no more clustered solutions).

This is probably due to so many complications that arise from clustered systems which are not true cloud/virtual computing systems.

I recommend their shared services for small to midsize asp.net/sql 2005 type of sites.




I like the godaddy solutions as well, so you might want to compare between these two options.

A last place to compare might be eDealDomains.com just to be sure of your pricing.

All these three establishements are fairly similar and I have worked with all these hosting companies successfully.

I will post some of my preferences for dedicated hosting soon as well.

Windows Click / Windowsclick Malware Spyware Removal - Bszip.dll

I spent days working on this malware removal.

I ran avg, spyware doctor, lavaware, and various oher programs including various attempts to run malware bytes. I couldn't get malware bytes to run, so i tried runing it from the network.

I even did various repair installs, registry cleaners, and manual removal of bszip.dll and any other weird dlls. I searched for all uac.sys in system and checked in device manage.

I was still receiving redirects to windowsclick.com when using google or yahoo on internet explorer and firefox on one of our computers.

Eventually, I ran into this post
http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?t=278009

I read closely- and I found a clue that mentioned that this malware disables certain execution of exe files. I installed malware bytes, then I went into c:\program files\ and found ma lware bytes directory. I then renamed the mbam.exe file to mbam3.exe.

I double clicked on the newly renamed file. Then I was able to run Malware Bytes and perform a full scan.

This only got me to a point where I could use the computer to some degree, but didn't actually remove the problem. After doing further research, I found on another site a mention of combofix.org. I changed the name to fixcombo.exe before running the file and I was able to run the program.

Combofix was able to find multiple references of UAC*.dll UAC*.* and a few other random files. If I tried this first it probably would have saved me hours. So I hope this recommendation works for you.

FractAlien's Glitch Rack in Ableton

I went to spend some time with a friend this weekend in his studio; work on some music together. He taught me a bunch of great tricks and also showed me some of his favorite plug-ins.

One of them, I hope he doesn't mind me saying, is Glitch.
The concept is pretty simple, you affect the beat, loop, or music in a sequenced format. So the effects are being sequenced independently of the music. I figured this can be done through automation in the track on one long chain of effects. This ended up being more complicated than what I thought, so I figured out a better solution: create a little machine (rack) which better helped take one loop and mash the sh1t out of it.

I know that my rack is not a direct copy and perhaps cannot do a lot of what glitch can do (tape stop's, reverses) but if you have some ideas to help me improve it or on how to recreate some of these sounds, please let me know! This is only my first version so I'll be improving it soon.

There is a lot more to the machine- if you would like further info, just let me know..

these also seem to be related to the weather case, since they are in the parent directory for the same day, but I can't tell for sure:

After doing some research myself and noting the phi in the frog,
I have come to the conclusion that we are dealing with the phi/golden ratio:
- Golden Ratio

I am not sure how it relates to the sheep, but i can see the pattern in the url structure and seems to be a recurring theme.

Here is a thread on the fox website related to the matter:

Fringe - Walter Bishop's Lab Notes

I have really started to get involved in JJ Abram's show Fringe (I also love Lost). Low and behold, I came across the Fox site which seems to have recaps of each episode. More importantly, within these recaps there seems to be a photo of Walter's Lab Notes. My first experience with these notes was when I went to re-watch the show "Ability".

I will now start posting these notes on my blog as I find them. There seems to be a lot more to this show than what appears on TV.

VMNet0 bridge not running - VmWare Network Bridge Issue

Symptom:
- VMNet0 bridge not running Error Message
- automatic bridging checkbox greyed out in "manage virtual networks" even when run as administrator (with uac enabled).
- reinstalled vmware and no progress

If you go into the properties for your network interface (NIC).






You should notice that the vmware bridge service is missing on the network interfaces (wired and wireless).

If so, within properties of the network interface you will need to install the vmware network bridge service manually by hitting the install button, choose server, browse to the vmware program directory and chose the netbridge.inf file.










I confirmed the installation of the service, checked if it was enabled on both the wireless and wired interface and rebooted my machine.

A reboot is important and might not work until you do so.
But After that, the bridge should work at this point.

Take A Screen Shot / Screensnap From A Web Page

I have been working on a project for my company where we have been able to take a screen shot (aka a screenshot/screen snap) from a web page. I believe the technology is innovative as I have not found this available to the public online.

One of the most common uses we have found is to get your clients to show you screen shots for bug reporting purposes on your development projects.

The technology can be used to share quick screen shots with friends, co-workers, or for that developer that cannot see what you see on your screen. We have been able to use this technology at Clear Sky Innovations to allow an auto-attachment of your screen shots into cases. For instance, if you are looking at case 1234 and you click on the "add screen shot" button, you will then be able to see the image in the case attachments section.

In any case, to take a Screen Shot From a Web Page just go to ScreenShotSite.com
