Google Docs JavaScript Virus

google-docs-js-virus

Update: I contacted AVIRA and they said that it is a FALSE alert. Their message:

The file ‘2767081945-EditPageModularized_editor_base_mod.js’ has been determined to be ‘FALSE POSITIVE’. In particular this means that this file is not malicious but a false alarm. Detection is removed from our virus definition file (VDF) with the version: 7.1.6.7.” – avira

I am using Google Docs to keep my sensitive and important information so I can access it from anywhere.

Today my Avira Antivirus informed me that Google Docs Javascript has a virus. I tried to look more into the Javascript but everything is compacted and encoded there so I can’t give you more information for now. I am thinking that more unsecure browsers like Internet Explorer 6 can be vulnerable to this.

If you have more info on this, leave a comment.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

Computer games are my pasion since I was a child and Blizzard Entertainment is my favorite games company. I’ve played all it’s PC games since WarCraft I (played over modem – dial up), continued to Diablo, Warcraft II, Starcraft, Diablo II, Warcraft III and World of Warcraft .

I have been playing World of Warcraft since it was launched, but not that maniac about it, I just like PVP (arenas). My current character is Gagu, level 80 fully S6 PVP geared.

Today when Arena Season 7 begins, I saw they announced Word of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion.

Features:

  • 2 new races: Goblins (Horde) and Worgen (Alliance)
  • level 85 cap
  • classic zones remade
  • races and class combination’s
  • flying in Azeroth

Are you excited about the Cataclysm expansion ?

[WordPress SEO] Headspace2 nofollow bug fix

This post will be better understood by PHP developers, but helpful for bloggers and SEO developers.

On wordpress websites that I am building, I am using Headspace2 Plugin for SEO. Some of you prefer Allinone SEO Pack, but it lacks some features that I really need.

Adding nofollow on pages/posts.

Adding nofollow on some links that are not important to Google (like About us, Contact, Privacy …)  can transfer more link juice to the other important pages from your website.

You can add nofollow to pages/posts by enabling the Headspace->Page Modules->Page Links module.

When you add new/edit a page, you will see three new fields:

  1. Page Link Text
  2. Page Link Title
  3. Page Link Options

From Page Link Options you can check the nofollow box to add rel=”nofollow” when generating the page list with wp_list_pages() function.

There is one flaw here. You are required to fill in the Page Link Text field, else it won’t show up any text in the link ( <a href=”” rel=”nofollow”>[TEXT MISSING]</a>).

To fix this and let wordpress show the default page title text if no text is detected there, you have to:

  1. edit /wp-content/plugins/headspace2/modules/page/page-links.php file on your server
  2. go to line 113 and replace
    $text = $this->meta[$id][‘text’];

    with
    $text = $this->meta[$id][‘text’] ? $this->meta[$id][‘text’] : $text;

That’s it!

Use a f*cking bookmark service

usemyfav-comming-soonI will launch soon a bookmark review site usemyfav. The slogan is “Use a f*cking bookmark service” because I saw a lot of people (I think more then 50%) are still using Google to find a site that he already has been there.

Until then you can visit the site to get some wonderful backgrounds for your desktop or iPhone and subscribe so I can let you know when the site is launched.

Estimare castiguri StatusPimp.ro

Aflu de pe twitter ca s-a lansat azi Status Pimp. Sistemul iti da posibilitatea sa castigi bani cu statusul de pe messenger. Pentru ca mi se pare o idee interesanta am analizat putin mai in detaliu sistemul.

Ei zic ca poti castiga pana la 7 eurocenti / click. Ma duc repejor la informatii pentru advertiseri si vad ca pe advertiseri ii costa 30 de centi / click (daca advertisierul da mai putin, ma gandesc ca si tie iti da mai putin, daca au zis “pana la“). Rezulta ca cei care isi pun status pe messenger pentru a face bani primesc pana la 23%. Mult? putin? spuneti voi.

Trecem peste eroarea de pe site pentru advertiseri in care zic ei ca poti cumpara 500 de  clickuri cu 150 euro din care rezulta 0.30 eurocenti (EUROCENTI) / click (mie imi da 30 eurocenti sau 0.30 euro / click). Continue reading Estimare castiguri StatusPimp.ro

[RO] Internet banking: BRD NET

Cu riscul de a fi subiectiv, va voi relata experienta mea cu BRD, in special serviciul de internet banking brd-net.ro. Am fost client BRD 6 ani si de 4 ani utilizez brd-net.

BRD la ghiseu

Deoarece contul mi l-am deschis in Suceava, cand am venit in Iasi, au inceput sa apara problemele. Filialele BRD au acces limitat la conturile deschise in alte orase: pot vizualiza, dar pentru a face tranzactii, ei trebuie sa dea telefon/trimita fax la sucursala bancii, unde a fost deschis contul (eventual sa astepte confirmare).

PHP/MySQL – correct use of INSERT query

For all PHP/MySQL developers, there are two ways of using INSERT query:

1. INSERT INTO [table] VALUES (‘value-1′,’value-2’);

2. INSERT INTO [table] (‘column-1′,’column-2’) VALUES (‘value-1′,’value-2’);

Always use INSERT variant 2, because in case you need to add more columns to the database, you won’t need to change the PHP code for the query to work.

The unspecified columns will take default value, defined when appending the new column.
