I was just looking at Shaw’s website earlier and found out that Shaw unveiled a new high speed internet option Shaw High-Speed Nitro Internet (now they have 4) some time late last year. It costs about $100 per month, and you get 25 Mbps down, 1Mbps up, 150GB of monthly bandwidth. Are we gaining on the Swedish?

My thoughts and adventures on the Internet and World Wide Web.
mIRC scripting
mIRC scripts can be helpful in many ways. They can do almost anything from hosting simple IRC games, to keeping PM spam out, to protecting the user and channel. Scripted correctly, most of them don’t cause any annoyance or frustration. Scripted incorrectly, they can prove to be quite hilarious to watch 🙂 [16:22:54] (&Tikitiki) !down [16:22:54] * Q sets mode: -ao Tikitiki Tikitiki [16:22:55] * Q sets mode: +o Tikitiki [16:22:55] * Q sets mode: +a Tikitiki [16:22:57] (&Tikitiki) try banning me now [16:22:58] (&Tikitiki) omg [16:23:00] (&Tikitiki) STUPID SCRIPT [16:23:01] (&Tikitiki) rofl [16:23:14] * Tikitiki sets mode: -a Tikitiki Continue Reading

The following screenshot shows the postbit. The multi-quote button is the one to the right of the “Reply” button (which was “Quote” before 1.2). (The postbit display of the new reputation system is also shown here) The screenshot below shows the new reply Continue Reading
MyBB 1.2 Beta
Every few days I will post a screenshot of the MyBB 1.2 Beta for those of you who didn’t get invited into the beta group (or beta-testers who are still interested in looking at these screenshots). In case you miss one, they will be archived on my Flickr gallery. June 28, 2006 A view of one of the new sections of the Admin CP.

Now you can Continue Reading
MyBB Security
These are just my thoughts about MyBB security updates. I’m not a security expert of any sort, but I just offer my opinion based on the knowledge I have. Over the last few weeks there have been two releases to MyBB to patch potential security vulnerabilities that have been discovered by various parties. I have seen some people who have found these seemingly miniscule updates too trivial to apply to their own boards, despite the fact that I and various other members of the MyBB staff have recommended these updates. These people seem to believe that just because no harm Continue Reading
