Greetings

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence
that the account in question is being  sold or traded. As you may not be aware
of, this conflicts with Blizzard's EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which  can
be found here:
WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement
and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the
action to be taken against your  account. If your account is found violating the
EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be  suspended/closed/or
terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are
the original owner of the account.

To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:

{LINK REMOVED BECAUSE IT'S SPAN AND WILL STEAL YOUR PASSWORD}


Only Account Administration will be able to assist with account retrieval
issues. Thank you for your time and  attention to this matter, and your
continued interest in World of Warcraft.

Sincerely,


Account Administration
Blizzard Entertainment

How To Sync Omni Focus with WebDAV for Free

OK, here's the play-by-play to get Omni-Focus to synch automatically between your computer and your phone. Takes ~10 to 15 minutes, plus the time you'll spend waiting for confirmation emails from a service called "swissdisk."

1. Go to: http://swissdisk.com
2. Sign up for a free account, which is a little hidden. First go to "Signup" in the top menu bar. Then scroll down and click the "free 50 megs" option:

3. You will create a username and password. Write these down / remember them, whatever.

4. Follow the steps to "activate" your account. They send you an email, you click the link, then they send you a second email, which means your account is active

5. Go to OmniFocus and open the OmniFocus menu in the top left. Choose "preferences." You'll see a screen like this:


6. Put your url in the box like I did with mine in this screenshot above. Then click "Sync Now." It will ask for your username and password twice. Put it in both times and click "remember" when you do it.

7. Once that syncs successfully (it will "un-gray"), then if you are on a Wi-Fi network with your phone you can "share settings." Probably easier just to click "send settings" though and do the e-mail thingie.

Notice of class settlement

WOW - not only was Beacon a PR disaster for Facebook, they're being forced to notify all their FB users that they effed up, and that they're funding an organization to make sure it doesn't happen again. 

What's that on your face?

Reply-To: noreply <noreply@facebookmail.com>

Facebook is sending you this notice of a proposed class action settlement that may affect your legal rights as a Facebook member who may have used the Beacon program.  This summary notice is being sent to you by Court Order so that you may understand your rights and remedies before the Court considers final approval of the proposed settlement on February 26, 2010.

This is not an advertisement or attorney solicitation.

This is not a settlement in which class members file claims to receive compensation.  Under the proposed settlement, Facebook will terminate the Beacon program.  In addition, Facebook will provide $9.5 million to establish an independent non-profit foundation that will identify and fund projects and initiatives that promote the cause of online privacy, safety, and security.

For full details on the settlement and further instructions on what to do to opt out of, object to, or otherwise comment upon the proposed settlement, please go to http://www.BeaconClassSettlement.com.

Please do not reply to this email.

Chicken & Egg & Leetsauce

It's an interating ride getting l33tsauce.com off the ground. I'm pushing for more beta users, and once we open up the beta to anyone, I'll REALLY be pushing for more beta users, but at the same time I'm still working on fleshing out the basic feature set on the site.

It's no good getting a ton of people to look at - and decide about - the site before anything other than the absolute core of functionality is built. But at the sam time we need beta testers making Dojos so that we can know what's breaking when and where.

In a nutshell, I'm excited for open beta ;)

Thumbnail Images | Post Excerpts | WordPress Theme Customizations

However, to display thumbnails manually, there will be an added step when you are posting your articles and there will be a line of extra codes to be inserted in your Index php file. First, open your Index php, look for these code:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

In between there will be other lines before you see this closing of the loop

<?php endwhile; ?>

Anywhere in between these 2 lines, insert this line:

Good trick for dressing up a home page in WP.
