I’ve been meaning to try out some digital photo printing services, especially after Kristen got the scrapbooking bug and wants to print lots of photos out. Yesterday morning I placed an order for 10 prints from truprint and they arrived in the post this morning. That is what I call fast turnaround. I don’t know if its because the order was flagged as a first order (and therefore fast-tracked) or whether this is normal service.
The interesting thing is that they offer a service where the photo’s aren’t actually 6×4″ due to the prevention of cropping of the photos as apparently digital photos don’t fit in with this aspect ratio.
The quality of the photos that came out is very good and I’d use them again. If you fancy using the service then drop me an email using my contact mail as that way I get some photos free as a referral or you can just sign up without referral here. Wish they’d have a straightforward referral link though!
There’s a patch available for Mambo, where Tar.php is exposed to XSS injection. I’ve upgraded our installation (and also upgraded the mambo installation to the version prior to this update too
After about 3 emails back and forwards with yahoo, they have finally admitted there is a problem with their verification process and their engineers are going to look at it. I’m not holding my breath, but in the meantime I’m going to create a new email address to sign up for the distribution list – and one that doesn’t contain a plus sign in it.
A long time ago, when I had my first exposure to (beta) Windows2003 at a Microsoft roadshow, I saw that the remote desktop actually pulled the console across to the client as opposed to having a new desktop session. I thought this was a pain as it meant that a remote administrator could pinch the console away from the person actually using the console at the server which would be really annoying. However, in my experience on the final product this never happened and you always got a virtual console. This is great unless you want to see the output of any scheduled jobs that are interacting with the desktop. I’ve now found that it is possible to get the console itself by using the -console option as documented in kb278845.
Use mstsc -v:servername -console to “pinch” the console session (the currently logged in user would get logged off) or start a standard terminal session and then in a dos command prompt type in shadow 0. The only downside of this is that you need the logged in user to allow the remote control.
Theres a nifty gmail signature generator which will generate a graphic you can use to denote your gmail address. Thanks to office.weblogs
I’ve talked about 1899 and 18866 before and I’m even more convinced they are the same company – they even both have “(NEW SERVER)” in the title of their web page. Anyway, 1899 is slightly cheaper than 18866 although you pay more on a per connection basis, 3p as opposed to 1p, but the calls are cheaper – free to US, Canada and UK landlines.
However, 1899 also has Voice Over IP at the same rates so you can actually use it whilst connected to broadband to ring other people in the uk for just 3p on their home number. This would work out cheaper than skype but the same price as using your home number. This does mean that you can use this anywhere in the world and get cheap phone calls though – so in theory I could ring a US phone number from the states, long distance, for 1p……Might even be worth installing this on the parents-in-law pc so they could ring me for 3p.
Incidentally, the funny thing is that you can also ring your home phone number at the same time and caller ID shows it as your home phone number ringing.
Stu Nicholls | The CSS Playground | Cutting Edge CSS is some Stu’s own version of CSS Zen garden with some really good style sheets. They look pretty complicated though but well worth the effort in working out how they work.
Can you imagine how much deicer you would need if you lived at the place these Ice Storm pictures were taken at?
It is a bit scary how many foods are getting added to the list of Food Standards Agency – Sudan I product lists 21 and 22 February 2005.
A quick look through the list shows how important it is to provide home cooked food as opposed to ready meals! (just go easy on the worcester sauce)
