Kelso

I used to have a windows box. It came with viruses installed. It would have to be reinstalled every two weeks, and made the CPU sound like a jet engine. Then I switched to Ununtu Linux and was stunned. My favorite part about Linux was the customizability. You can make a top menu bar, a right program folder, a bottom dock, and a bunch of "Widgets" along the left side of the screen. My Vote: Linux, all the way!

I, using Linux, think that FF is great. Absolutly free, and running on almost all platforms, it is my favorite browser. I especially like greasemonkey. It alllows you to tinker with websites, so now all occurances of the name of the current President of the United States will be randomly changed to the name of a species of chimpanze.

I quote awsomejoe23: Wouldn't that be cool?

Yeah! I'll propose it!

I've begun programming in PHP. If you really want to become a pro, check out Larry Ullman's books. He's a good author, and that's how I learned it. If you have any PHP questions, please feel free to PM me.

You know what would be nice? Credit Cards. They increase your interest, getting you more money. Why do you have to collect it every day? That's kind of weird, and more than a little frusturating.

I use Web Developer and Grease Monkey. Right now, if anyone were to post something about the Current President of the United States, it would be replaced with the name of a species of chimpanze.

I use GIMP, Blender (blender3d.org), and iMovie for Video Editing. I'm sure that there is a Linux video editor, but my computer is so slow it can't handle it. Grrrrr. Open Source [almost] all the way!

Yeah. It seems like most of the features where taken from Mac OS X, Apple's OS. Also, IE7 uses software that tries to take control of open-source HTML. The US doesn't care that Microsoft is being evil, but the EU does. Microsoft just got sued again! Read More (My Blog)

Oh sweet! This new skin is really cool! I like the colors!

Hi. How does the Financial system work? I don't quite understand the "credit card" part, or the interest.

Sweet! I'm in favor of it! Bring it to the Leslature! If anyone has any objections, please state them now.

Hi. My alias is Kelso, so just call me that. I have worked on many websites, but seeing as a am almost cursed when it comes to computers and just about everything else, all of my webhosts either shut down, or are horribly bland. HelioNet is, so far one of the best. A democracy; what a novel concept! I've done things in the following fields: Flash GUIs PHP Backends and CMSs Ajax CSS (Though I seem to be colorblind when it comes to making templates!) SQL 3D (Blender) And lots of other pitiful attempts to learn other languages. Wow! A lot of people registered yesterday! How come everyone joined? I just found it on free-webhosts.com.

You'd replace the text in the address bar with the javascript. Which browser are you using? Be sure to click "go", or hit the return key. Then, select some text and press delete. You can now edit the page! If it doesn't work for you, click the link below: Edit This Page! Pretty Neat, huh?

Me too. Hey! I've got an idea! Do any of you know about a guestbook that allows you to add HTML to a webpage? You could embed the HTML to make it look like there is a martian atacking the website!

Try this: go to a website (Yahoo.com, MySpace.com) and type in "java script:document.body.contentEditable='true';%20document.designMode='on';%20void%200" without the quotes, or perhaps bookmark it. Nothing happened, right? Select some text on the page and click delete. Really sweet, huh? You can also modify images and screw up CSS. Look out yahoo, here I come!

What setting? The Blow It Up one is Nuke, and the Fried Egg one is Egg, I think. Does that answer your question.

What skills do you have for being a moderator? What would you do if you cought someone spamming the forums (Besides deleting it)? What changes would you make? Why do you want to be a moderator? Job Interview Questions. You know.

Perhaps some web-design competitions. We could have a competition where all the templates would be in a certain color, or perhaps a certain theme or style. Whoever won could get some extra helions (if that doesn't count as "free money") or perhaps a better package. I'm willing to be a judge!

You can also embed code into your website to make it look like your website is being raided. Combined with PHP or CGI, you could have different effects every week, or to only blow up your website on April Fool's Day. It's really neat!

You can also do something like frames with CSS by setting the position property to be fixed. This makes that object so that it doesn't scroll when you scroll the page. It is far more powerful, and will work with ads.

Netdisaster It allows you to make it look like a website is blowing up, being raided by ailens, or being bombed.

Linux is what I use. It's like windows, but is faster and more efficient. If you'd like to get Linux (it's absolutly free!) go to Ubuntu.org to download one version of it.

I know. You all probably look at the term "chat bots" and run and hide. What is more scary than a robot that pretends to be someone else? However, by warning people of this danger, we can overcome it: Here's the code for a basic jabber chatbot. You can see it (sometimes) by chatting with fatlotus@gmail.com. Right now, all it does is send things back in a "elmer fudd" language, but this could be far more powerful: <?php error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); # Jabber Bot Test Script require ('class.jabber.php'); set_time_limit (0); define ("INTRO","I am the Elmar-bot. I am not a human. Give me a word or phrase, and I will return what Elmar Fudd would have said. Just begin in with the word elmar and I will do the rest."); $jabber = new Jabber(); $jabber->server = 'ssl://talk.google.com'; $jabber->host = 'gmail.com'; $jabber->port = 5223; $jabber->username = 'fatlotus'; $jabber->password = 'PASSWORD REMOVED'; $jabber->resource = 'Evil Bot of Doom v.1.0'; $jabber->use_ssl = true; $jabber->enable_logging = true; $jabber->log_filename = 'Log.txt'; $jabber->Connect() or die ('Error Connecting'."\n"); $jabber->SendAuth() or die ('Couldn\'t login.'."\n"); $jabber->SendPresence (NULL,NULL,"In Bot Mode"); $jabber->SendMessage ("doggiearcher@gmail.com","chat",NULL, array("body" => "Hi Kelso!")); $jabber->CruiseControl(); $jabber->Disconnect(); function Handler_message_normal($message) { Handler_message_chat($message); } function Handler_message_chat($message) { global $jabber; $from = $jabber->GetInfoFromMessageFrom($message); $body = $jabber->GetInfoFromMessageBody($message); if ($jabber->StripJID($from) == "fatlotus@gmail.com") return; if ($body == "go2sleep" && preg_match("/^adminaccount@gmail.com/i", $from)) { $jabber->SendMessage ($from, "chat", NULL, array ("body" => 'Good Bye!')); $jabber->Disconnect(); exit; } elseif (preg_match("/^elmar /i", $body)) { $phrase = preg_replace("/^elmar /i", "", $body); $translated = str_replace("r", "w", $phrase); $translated = str_replace("R", "W", $translated); $translated = str_replace("l","w",$translated); $translated = str_replace("L","W",$translated); $translated = eregi_replace ("(r)r+","\\1",$translated); $translated = eregi_replace ("(w)w+","\\1",$translated); $jabber->SendMessage($from, "chat", NULL, array("body" => $translated)); } else { $jabber->SendMessage($from, "chat", NULL, array("body" => INTRO)); } } function Handler_presence_available ($message) { global $jabber; $jid = $jabber->StripJID($jabber->GetInfoFromPresenceFrom($message)); $jabber->SendMessage($jid, "chat", NULL, array("body" => INTRO)); } ?> If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Right now, I don't have time to finish this, but I will answer any questions!
