Blogger and Firefox - How to save your password

 Some websites don't allow you to save your password in Firefox built-in password manager, for example Yahoo and Blogger. Really irritating!

 One beautiful day (my irony tends to build up under 35 degrees Celsius), I noticed that the Blogger page actually redirects you to a Google account sign in. Therefore, I've come up with this little link that will allow you to save your password and take you back to Blogger:


https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=blogger&continue=http://www.blogger.com/

Someone might make a good use of it. I also hope someone will find a way or fix the yahoo login page. Enjoy!

P.S. Make sure you install Secure Login add-on - it's a really handy application that allows one-click installs!

People are practically showing off where they got their songs on last.fm

I just stumbled upon the famous http://last.fm/ website - really great website that tracks down your audio preferences. Useful to show off your stats and music to your friends.
It's unfortunate that many people practically show off the origin of their (illegally downloaded?) songs, take a look: http://www.last.fm/search?m=all&q=www.

Makes you think again before posting your audio along with your personal information... ;)

Unable to connect server irc.ubuntu.com port 6667

Yesterday I received a message like one of the following:

Unable to connect server irc.ubuntu.com port 6667 [Name or service not known]
Could not resolve irc.ubuntu.com/6667: Name or service not known
Connection to 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) for irc.ubuntu.com failed: connection refused.

If the same has happened to you, I suggest using chat.freenode.net for a better IRC experience. :)

P.S. I know, I know - long time no blog.

Google - 403 Forbidden - "We're sorry"

If you got the "We're sorry" webpage I believe you came to the right place.. I have noticed this error myself :(

Error

We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.
We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.
If you're continually receiving this error, you may be able to resolve the problem by deleting your Google cookie and revisiting Google. For browser-specific instructions, please consult your browser's online support center.
If your entire network is affected, more information is available in the Google Web Search Help Center.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

At first I thought that they blacklisted Serbian IP addresses (that would be really spicy!). They may suggest some mumbo-jumbo procedure in Google FAQ, but that didn't do the trick.

The solution was rather easy, I went to http://www.google.com/sorry typed in some characters and voila - redirected to Google web search :)

Free rice!

Do pay a visit at http://www.freerice.com - It's an amazing concept where the sponsors will donate 20 grains of rice for each right answer you provide! If you can't give financially, give by testing your knowledge.
There are various subjects to choose for answering! I took 10 minutes of my free time and summed 3000 grains of rice :)

Ranting developer

I recently stumbled upon an old thread about linux users searching for someone to create an autoit-like application for linux. Starting from this post the ranting begins, it's really fun, I went through the whole 5 pages laughing :)
Sometimes people don't understand "No", that's why developers head to the aggressive "Let me say it again: No you idiot!"

Nevertheless, if you're looking to automatize some of your basic daily work, you should be looking to learn bash scripting or even an advanced programming language such as perl or python - if you're still looking for something that handles windows and gui interface, try gambas or python-dogtail (or here).

Belgrade BeerFest today!

Back from my "holiday" and (partly) ready to work. In other news, the famous belgrade beerfest is beginning today in the new place called "Ušće", located on the mouth of the Sava river (into the Danube).

Grab your backpacks, and stick around, plenty of beer participants and music to make you dance all night long. I might not make it for the whole night, but I will probably give it a go if I find the right company...

Last year I tasted the wonderful bilberry beer, my taste buds are eagerly looking forward to try this year's wicked flavour! :)

Bos taurus gas quarantined!

The gas produced by the cows' (Geek name: B. taurus) digestive system (aka GIT, short for gastrointestinal tract) is being tested, in order to see the share of effect to the global warming problem.
See it here.

What's next? Attaching tubes on human rear ends? :)

P.P.S. I'm establishing a miniposts tag, for such small posts!
