06/06/06 – The year of the beast?

Is it really true that today is a special day where the date coincide with the number of the beast? (ie 06/06/06 = 666).

IMHO, if you see that date in your pc right now, then you’re pretty f*cked up, because you may be using a non-Y2k compliant software. Truncating the number to 2 digit is a damn bad practice :p

Krunch – Compressing and Decompressing files on web

Krunch

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

How to create a black console background in your blog

Hi there,

Recently, one of the blog readers asked me about how do I create a black console background to illustrate command-line in some of my posts (ie : 1, 2 , 3)

You just need to include these line, just after the tag in your blog template.


save your template, and republish your blog in it’s entirely (if you’re using blogger).

To use the black console background, you just need to put <div class=”terminal”> and </div> in between of your desired text. For example :

Linux 2.6.17 - login #

will produce

Linux 2.6.17 – login #

That’s all, happy hacking !

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.
