No one likes your crappy videos

Maybe I am just confused when it comes to Facebook and the many thousands of social networks that is out there but the idea of “like” is purely that when someone watched the video, they will decide that if they actually liked it, they may click the like button which then informs everyone else that s/he liked the video and not the like button being used purely as a marketing tool for videos that people otherwise would not watch in any form even if they was given the option of watching the Twilight saga.

A good way to get people to click awayNow I am sure we have all seen an example of this but if not, I am going to show you an example from the place I am sure all of my fans love, Wrights Productions. In case you do not know but the fan page for Wrights Productions require that you like their page before watching a video, before actually knowing if their videos is good or not (will add the Facebook fan page forces you too, not the website so likely a default setting but still a good example of it).

Currently not here …

Back when IRC first came around it allowed people to contact another person in real-time and sometime later, Instant Messaging such as MSN, GTalk and others were born. Over time these IM clients involved running on just about anything that has a connection to the Internet and thus with this people started to get used to being able to contact anyone at any time and expect a reply back right away.

I am sure everyone knows that person who will always keep sending messages when you do not reply in less than a microsecond. I am sure you also know the ones that if you do not reply in a nanosecond they say:

The yellow belt

I am sure many of you know I have done so many martial arts in the past so I figured rather than talking about depressing matters, things in the news, politics or face-rapping Xenomorphs I figured I would do a light-hearted article.

This story dates back to when I was younger when I studied a martial art known as Tae Kwon Do at a local school. Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art with a few core focuses and a grading system that works like this.

Who gives a shit ?

Yawn, here we go again. Back in the end of March, I had some people saying am I going to be doing any special contests, articles or whatever for the “Royal Wedding”. Well I am doing a special article and a special meeting to the “wonderful couple” who are being married at Westminster Abbey at some point today – I do not give two shits.

I have read in papers that the world” will be watching that date and all that crap but really you are telling me that everyone in the world – let alone 3/4 of all nations in the world cares ?

Lighttpd and JetPack

As you may have heard, the creators of WordPress has created a new plugin called JetPack. While I will not explain it as the link to the left will explain it far easier than me (although this link is a good place to start with: Jetpack to the WP.com Cloud), I am posting about how it may have issues with Lighttpd.

When it first came out I decided to give it a try and it never worked. Posted on Twitter and people advised about disabling cache software like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache. Either way, it never worked. The next thing was to disable Cloudflare which also never worked.
