RESTful api.
NO more flickr, image unavailable bullshit. All humanizers are settled in house from now on.
I have specified the ouput as javascript for you to test and debug from your browser easily.
No user, key or authentication needed (at least to use the api)
No error Api, Api will make the decisions now and restful structure used in order to prevent curious attacks
Flexible language support

So how do you utilize the new api? Just click http://api2.elxsy.com/getTest/3/en/ and that is it. This will fetch you a test struct, containing your word in english, your answer hash and 3 humanizers. Here is the output for one random test.

New API Rules in brief:

minimum 3, maximum 9 humanizers. If you provide smaller than 3 will be defaulted to 3. If you provide more than 9, you will see 404
API will decide on how many humanizers should be selected depending on the given count.
currently en/fr/br/ru/pl supported but will add more upon request thanks to google translate

Important bits;

I will update the API documentation and remove the unnecessary pages soonish
I will implement the new humanizer selection and voting system into the public API page as well instead of elxsy

V1 is api.elxsy.com V2 is api2.elxsy.com, when v1 is depreceated v2 will become api as default
V1 api served over 4 million humanizer test requests by the way and still serving

Recycling your old mobile phones

cenOTapH — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 21:40:34 +0000

Well we tech geeks sure love tech stuff and gadgets and me specially love mobile devices, smart phones. Unfortunately technology always evolves and we put our eyes to the new fancy devices. What happens to the old ones? well they are not so old to throw away, but not so fancy to sell either, they just dust in a corner with a dying battery. Besides not being old throwing away a mobile phone or any new techy device is harmful to the nature as you may not now. I decided to do something with my old toys and gone for the best thing recycling them.

I knew there were couple of websites around for this job but I never used them and I did not like the idea of check. I was looking for decent money and bank transfers then I came across cash for phones website. You know the system, you simply type in phone make/model, state your condition, they state your price and that is it basically. They send you all the information with a special envelope to send back your phone (do not forget to delete all your personal information beforehand) once you send your phone and if it is in the promised shape viola money is in your bank account.

You can do something for the environment, world resources with your dusty mobile phones and make a decent money to spend on yourself

Nokia N97 Versus Iphone 3G Review and Comparison

Yahoo is good old yahoo except the constant spam problem

cenOTapH — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 13:35:40 +0000

After my emails to the yahoo yahoo sent me a nice reply about the situation and resolved my issue. Although the constant spam remains same like any other mail providers around the world I am happy to see that they did not lose their user end touch to the scene.

if you ask me as a customer for nerly 10 years what is the public relations among big companies. I would answer it is yahoo > microsoft > google. Google is just being a douche in most cases.

Hello Yuksel,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail.

While we cannot fully exempt your mail server from our SpamGuard technology, we have however, made appropriate changes to this IP address in our database. This should help with delivering mail to the appropriate Yahoo! folders. Let us know, if we can be any further assistance.

is new yahoo mail becoming the new hotmail?

is new yahoo mail becoming the new hotmail?

cenOTapH — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:04:25 +0000

I have been a yahoo user for over 10 years now and always been happy with them until recently. I am receiving the same damn spam message from same damn sender(s) with the same damn subjects over more than a year now. Everyday I woke up open my email to see constant 7 number in my spam box. Seriously what else a user can do other than tagging the freaking thing spam? What else do you need yahoo? I have to go and create a filter for you to just the trash the damn thing?

Here is the other deal and where the title comes from. As some of you may know, in like 4-5 years before webmasters used to ban hotmail accounts because it was so stupid, none of the posted emails made it to people's inbox not even spambox. Well most of the so called webmasters did not know what was going on so they just banned hotmail as a solution.

Now I have a small social network and a forum on this server. People gets notified by email if they choose to. Analyzing my server resources and user complaints I found out that yahoo emails always getting a 2 day defer at least! Now I have to explain tons of users why they can not recover their passwords or did not get notified although they so wanted to be. Here is the log from the mighty yahoo.

host in32.mxauth.yahoo.com [202.86.5.24]: 421 4.7.0 [TS01] Messages from
*.*.*.* temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1;
see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/421-ts01.html

Well no user with right mind will click notify me and then say this is spam! I opened the postmaster support page to see the error is not actually that but my server is always sending them stuff so they are suspicious it may be spam or bulk. Suspicious?? wtf ?? check the freaking mail contents at least huh, ever seen a 1 kbyte spam mail??

I fill in the necessary fields with all the explanations they need, send in the support ticket 14 hours later the reply comes FROM A MACHINE. Sending me the same page contents I read before filling in the ticket form, only in text format this time. Seriously yahoo, whats up with you recently? so here is my sad reply against the new winds in yahoo.

Hello

Your automated system just replied to me with the same information on the yahoo website!
As I stated before yes we have huge activity (social network) and users choose to get notified by email.
Yahoo always deferring my emails and making my mail queue amazingly long, wasting my resources.
Poeple can not recover their passwords or registration operations due to defers.
If you are going to judge my server based on its constant activities and not solve the problem then I am afraid I will have to ban yahoo email usage and notifications.
I have been a yahoo user for nearly 10 years, while people were banning hotmail I never thought I will have to ban yahoo emails one day.

Regards,
Yuksel Kurtbas

And you know what is the ironi in all this? Well check out my mailbox and where the support mail from original yahoo landed while spams made their way into my inbox.

Huh you say what about hotmail? it is still a joke what about it.. good for msn only

chck.us online global file checker and tracker is released

cenOTapH — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:53:03 +0000

First let me explain to you the problems of uploading and downloading as a user who does both of them alot!.

You upload some files to share with your friends, community whatever it is, post your links to your friends. Everything is fine until your hosting decides to delete them. You do not get any kind of information that your files have been deleted by them... woah thats bunch load of bs. You have to go back to your friends, websites and track down what has been deleted, who could not download what. Plus when something is wrong with your upload again you have to go back and check if everything worked out or to see feedbacks, requests. If you shared your files more than one place (thats what most of the uploaders do) well then good luck hunting down your posts in thousands of forum posts, blogs, comments. If you still have patiance for all and you reuploaded your stuff, then there goes the updating of your links in all places.

So you decided to download some files. You click on post, blog or email to get your friend's link click on the file just to see "haha we deleted the file you wanted. pwned!". More annoyingly, lets say your friend shared a game dvd. That has min of 80 parts in it or so, you download 70+ part just to see that 72nd one was deleted ages ago! Now how the hell you were suppose to know it was gone. So you begged the uploader to upload new one and he did, but you dont know it because you forgot mb you were lost in billions of posts.

So what does chck.us do?

We try to address these problems. Let me create the steps for you.

You uploaded some files, going to post them. You add them to chck.us as well * Right click on your link list then say add to chck.us also. We will give you an image to show how your files are doing in the wild to put in your post/blog with a link.
Your visitors will see that your files are alive so they can go on downloading happily yay!
Your visitors has something to say or watch about your files, they click on the image we gave and come to your linkset page. They comment and say "hey chck.us let me know if something goes wrong with these links and someone replies to my comment". we say aye aye captain.
Send you a notification and email (if you wanted so) saying you have got a brand new comment!
Your visitor goes over to your page and sees what you been up to recently with your activities.
Then the bad thing happens and somehting happens to one of your links in any of your linkset. We immediately warn you and your visitors about which ones has gone down
We update your little image in all over your forum posts to say that some beloved links of yours are gone down. RIP. So your visitors will beware and wait.
You come to the rescue, reupload them and give us the new links, again we send the scouts to all your forums/blogs to say everything is OK again!
Of course we do not forget about your visitors too! We run to them and say come see the new links just arrived grab it while its hot!
You come home see all your linksets in one page or look around for friends in your dashboard.

So that is what we aim to do. chck.us is now integrated all these standard features. Plus more file hosts, internal and external linkset statistics, search, skinizing your pages, bazaar and many more to come.

* One click add Javascript bookmarklet and Firefox Addon is under development and coming soon!

So if you liked it why not get started with chck.us?

Improve your iPhone signal strength with 6 useful tips

cenOTapH — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:12:51 +0000

I guess every iPhone user came across to this, bad signal strength in some areas. US users are less fortunate because as I know from my friends AT&T coverage really sucks in the US. Plus I don't think iPhone has good quality signal elements like celluar and wifi. My Nokia seems to be doing a far more better job when it comes to getting celluar and wifi signals.

As I was sick of just using the iPod feature on the phone even when I was just entered the tube station(!) and seeing other people not even texting but talking on the phone in the tube! It just makes you want to throw the phone away when you need to finalize a meeting via sms or a call. After a quick googling around I came across to these 5 useful tips,
Bad iPhone Signal Strength? Watch how you’re holding it and 5 more tips. I really did not know they put the antenna at the bottom of the iPhone, where I usually hold it as a palm device.

First tip of holding the device like some kinda dirty underwear - well that pic really made me feel like that - made the trick for me in tube stations. Although still no signal in the tube. Rest was not a problem in UK or in my case at least. Last tip; taking your phone to airplane mode and back really triggers some signal search.

Do not update your iPhone to OS 3.1 via iTunes

cenOTapH — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:37:29 +0000

As DevTeam expressed, Apple's work on disabling jailbreaking taking effect. With the new (just bs release imo) release you may lose your jailbreaking and sim unlock "privileges" if you update your phone directly via iTunes using official Apple firmware. This rule includes 3G phones, you are advised to use custom firmware's made by pwnage tool. Pwnage tool works on mac as u know, there is no official windows version. They will release when they have time. As with 3GS and other new gen IPOD Touhes, you are advised to be patient and wait if you want to jailbreak your phone in near future or use another sim card. Of course SIM rules does not apply to SIM FREE iphones.

How to solve push problem in hacktivated iphones 3.0

cenOTapH — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:19:20 +0000

Well many of you may realize that you don't get any push messages in IM or other applications even though you have OS 3.0 and push supported apps running. The problem occurs in hacktivated phones, translation, you bought your phone with contract, depending on one operator's sim card and you activated the phone via jailbreak not from itunes.

Solution is simple, use your legit sim card (at&t, 02, vodafone etc) to activate your phone and then ultrasn0w it and use your other sim card. You can use any of your friends legit sim card as well. Just activate the phone with a legit sim card then do your stuff. Works like a charm

LG 42LH4000 Review for XBOX 360 HD Gaming

cenOTapH — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:52:06 +0000

I am back to my family house for a limited time and my old TV set got busted Well I don't watch TV but hey whats gonna happen to my xbox? It was CRT but colors and screen size was perfect for SD gaming and movies. Well when I was down, thanks to my friend he offered to me his new LG LCD HD TV set for my personal pleasure.

TV looks really nice. Shiny - glossy black, slim, with background color, table deck and nearly invisible speakers. Well first things firts, hooking up xbox HD is pretty easy and you have multiple of everything nearly. TV works amazing with 1080p settings with the fastest and really good looking games. I had made my visual tests on my favorite + best looking driving games. Colin McRae Dirt and Grid, both from codemasters Well after busted TV view, HD 1080p Dirt was amazing in 42 inch! Then PES 2009, Fear 2, Resident Evil and so on with perfect viewing and nice surround sound. Integrated sound system really makes this TV for HD gaming, you don't look around to hook up your 5.1's to the console. Remote was faily big for a TV but I got big hands so bigger is merrier for me . Settings and input selection was like a walk in the park.

I did not experience any of the TV flaws described in this expert review. But to be fair I never used the TV for watching TV and can not say anything - btw I have a SD satellite subscription, no sense reviewing a HD TV in a SD test. But plays most of the HD Vidoes on my hard drive perfectly. Anyways most of the expert reviews are always too technical and cruel to the product. In this case TestFreaks website and user reviews are more helpful because you got to hear the real home users opinions about the TV. I agree with the 9.0 rating. I don't have an eagle eye but I know what quality viewing is. If a product satisfies your needs more than expected, technical details are just gibberish numbers. Enjoy your TV if you buy one.
