		<description><![CDATA[(Note: The crash happened again to us on 9/7)
Users around the globe were looking at an ominous 404 page on 8/26/11 as they attempted to access their documents on Google Docs without success. The problem began approximately 10:15am Pacific time and persisted for about 90 minutes. Ironically, Google has gone out of its way to publish suggestions on how to create a useful 404 page, the 404 error we saw that day was devoid of information.

Other Google pages such as Gmail and Calendar worked fine throughout the outage..
Though it is bothersome, I&#8217;m at least somewhat heartened by the fact that I run a backup every morning using this simple utility. And yet, being without my docs is quite alarming. So the waiting game seemed excruciating, with no word from the Google Gods as to what happened on or when it would be fixed.
For the record, clearing cookies/cache and using a different ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started playing Farmville because I was told it was a relaxing diversion, which it can be. But it seems that if you can duplicate a significant problem with a game consistently, the developers should at least attempt to fix it.
In my case, I can easily duplicate the out of sync error. All I have to do is go to my Farmville winery, purchase goods from all of my friends, and then use them. That&#8217;s it. About 80% of the time I&#8217;ll see the dreaded message within a minute:
&#8220;Your game state is out of sync with the server. Please refresh the page to continue.&#8221;
And once you refresh your page, you&#8217;ll find that a lot of the things you did on your farm prior to that message never happened in Zynga Land, and you have to do them again. I once wanted to see how many times I&#8217;d see that message ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can find a few websites that list a hundred or more of the top search keywords, but I thought it would be useful to do a consensus of those sites and categorize the results for much easier viewing. Of the top 100 search terms as posted on various sites, here are the top paid search categories with the percentage of ads in each:








Mesothelioma/Asbestos
31.0%


Accident/Injury Attorneys
17.5%


Auto Insurance
13.5%


Loans (Student, Home, Debt, etc)
12.0%


DUI/DWI Attorneys
11.0%


Misc/General Lawyers
4.5%


Structured Settlements
3.0%


Misc Insurance (Not Auto)
2.5%


Data Recovery
1.0%


Repair/Services
1.0%


Tax Lawyers
1.0%


Charity
0.5%


Conf. Calling
0.5%


Debt Advice
0.5%


Specific Locations
0.5%



If you consolidate all of the attorneys listed above, they account for 68% of the top 100 top paid search terms. Insurance and loans account for another 28%, which means 96% of the top paid search terms are by attorneys, loan centers, and insurance agents.
Who is making all the money? One hint is to see who is spending it all on advertising&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Mine was one of many sites hit with the &#8220;Hacked by Kasper511&#8243; mark of shame. It&#8217;s pretty tough to Google it for information because what you&#8217;ll find are all the sites hacked and indexed with said hack. In most cases, the main page will display a graphic, sometimes a sentence, an email, and an instant message contact. Sometimes you&#8217;ll see the words &#8220;Saudia Arabia&#8221; with no explanation as to what that means.

There was a WordPress theme that apparently held the attack in my case. I deleted all of those files and upgraded to the newest version of WordPress (apparently the version 2.9, which I was using, may have been key here). So far (knock on wood), that seems to have fixed it.
Here is a partial list of sites at which Kasper511 staked his claim.
This is a short forum discussion about the attack.
Some of the messages Kasper511 has left are:

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, Google. Can&#8217;t live without ‘em, but it&#8217;s hard to defend ‘em, too. Scams are rampant online, and Google is the biggest ad delivery system online. They take a lot of heat for playing a part in the machine of online scams.

In Google&#8217;s defense, the scammers have a lot invested in trying to figure out how to get around Google&#8217;s weak filtering system. I don&#8217;t completely fault Google for that. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re outnumbered in this process, and do put some resources into trying to plug the holes.
So a site like wafflesatnoon.com, which relies on Google ads to recoup the cost of running it, must do some work too &#8211; to weed out those dubious ads that keep appearing. Most sites don&#8217;t put in any effort at all to weed out the bogus ads. I can&#8217;t say I work on it every day, but I do address the problem several ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was Fall 2001. And before the World of Warcraft, there was Everquest, at the time it was THE online game of choice.
I never really used the Everquest test servers, but I heard talk of a new feature coming out called an MPC, or Monster Player Character. &#8220;Project M&#8221; it was called. As I recall, this feature actually went live for a day or two. If you were one of the lucky few lucky enough to see this fun fiasco, you certainly remember it.

The specifics are vague, but here&#8217;s how I recall it.
On the player log in screen, there was a button labeled &#8220;Monster&#8221; that you could click and be inserted into the game as a random monster. It was typically a low-level mob. That first day (and perhaps the only day) was absolutely insane. I had to feel bad for anyone who had happened to sign up that day.

		<description><![CDATA[Before I even get started, allow me to say upfront that I’m not trying to sell you anything. I won’t ramble on and on about some huge “secret” to making money online, only to let you know you can purchase this secret in some cheesy ebook like so many others do.
I will tell you what you need to know, but be prepared that it might not be want you want to hear. 
It’s not easy and you will probably fail.
&#8220;Making money online&#8221; sounds like your generic web bait, aimed at every working stiff who thinks they can make billions by simply registering a domain name. I’ve been involved in web development and design since 1994, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had people approach me with their million dollar ideas. Some people even had flow sheets, projected traffic reports – the whole nine yards. The excitement in their ...]]></description>
