Krunch – Compressing and Decompressing files on web

Introducing Krun.ch, a web application that let you upload and compress your files on-the-fly. Krunch also offers option to email the resulting compressed files.

Not only that, but Krunch also lets you upload and uncompress zip,rar and tar gzip archives on the fly. This eliminates the need of a standalone decompression program. You won’t need unrar/rar anymore in order to uncompress rar files.

Krun.ch is relatively new and was developed by Kailash Nadh. The same guy that brought http://splogspot.com and Pingoat.com

The Pirate Bay is back online!

Sail ho! The Pirate Bay is back online! It appears that despite from the unfortunate incident, The Pirate Bay managed to get back online in a very short time.

The title of the website however has been altered to “The Police Bay”, perhaps to mock the police after they raid THB datacenters without a legal reason.

The Swedish police website was down soon after that, as a sign of protest from hackers around the world.

It is unknown whether The Pirate Bay website has been brought up using their usual main server or a backup mirror.

Technorati started to update my blog again!

If you don’t already know, my blog suffered from the “technorati mood swings”, where it states that my blog hasn’t been updated for more than 50days. It seems that I’m not the only onewho has this problem.

Until now, I don’t know what happened and what to do as technorati won’t update my blogs, though i’ve ping them each time I write new post. But last night, I was hit by a pleasant suprise, my blog was updated by technorati 7 days ago, and all my post within that 50days period is included in technorati.

God knows what happened behind the technorati engine, but I wrote this as a reference to other bloggers. Do not give up if technorati stopped updating your blog, they might just have a minor hiccups. Your blogs will be updated by them eventually.
