IT IS OFFICIAL: Orgoo is Vaporware

IT'S TIME TO BRING ORGOO BACK INTO THE NEWS.

Being still in private beta in almost two years, the promising webmail/IM combo Orgoo is now tagged as vaporware. I had to post it because the private beta is too long for the public to launch.
Orgoo was released as private beta in late 2007, but its period is prolonged following some alleged critical and major issues, downtimes, states of being offline, and an alleged, undocumented DDoS attack. Orgoo has not posted any new news on the site since December 2008. As software, Orgoo has never released any updates to it in public. The DDoS attack I described possibly caused a major downtime or a lengthy maintenance that in turn, extends the private beta. These factors forced me to brand Orgoo as vaporware, although it sent an email to me regarding that the public launch is near (I was put on Orgoo's waiting list). It also made Orgoo a possible candidate of the upcoming 2009 Vaporware Awards by Wired News. I suggest that Orgoo will be launched to the public in Q4 2009 or early 2010. This post may force Orgoo to be in public beta if some of the best Internet news sites mention the post and the recent vaporware branding.

Bug 508950 Day: Type into the Full Login Details Momentarily when the LOASPDALI Bug Attacks!

This day, August 7, 2009 (GMT+8) is Bug 508950 Day. This day commemorates the filing of Bug 508950, the so-called "Log out and associated saved password delete after log in", or "LOASPDALI" bug into Mozilla's online bug tracker. Some sites are affected by this bug, such as Facebook, Friendster, and Yahoo!. This bug is performed when someone logs in to a site that has many saved passwords associated with it, and after a few clicks, automatically logs out and all the saved passwords described are deleted unattendedly. The LOASPDALI bug is categorized as major, and it affects Firefox 3.5. I suggest that the bug will be fixed in Firefox 3.5.3, to be released on early September, 2009. I also suggest all users of Firefox 3.5 not to save any passwords and log in by typing the full login details. The "plague" will continue until the bug is fixed.

This blog's privacy is very strict. Please do not mention the name of the blog, its author, and the full URL of this blog if this post comes out in the news.

Update 06:12 PM GMT+8: I edited the upcoming version number of Firefox 3.5 because of an error commited by me.

Unikan's Voice Poll for August 2009: TPB Is No Longer No.1, So What Now?

According to Alexa (source: a third-party site), The Pirate Bay's domination of the number one spot among torrent sites has ended. A Dutch torrent site, Mininova, takes over TPB's place. Following the conviction of the two founders of TPB, its fate at the hands of Global Gaming Factory X (GGFX) is sealed. GGFX has announced that TPB will decentralize its operations, shut down its trackers and leechers, and become itself a paid service.

If you want to still love TPB even after the big changes in its life, here's the Unikan's Voice Poll for August 2009 (commenting is possible):

Did you still support TPB even if became a paid service run by a third-party company?
	Yes, I want to believe that some torrents that are free to download is still there.
	No, I will turn to other torrent sites with anonymous uploading.

[RECOMMENDED] Do you want gmaker.exe to be downloaded quickly?

To answer this question, you will need Download Accelerator Plus 9.x. Make sure that your internet connection is not dial-up and the DAP settings below:
(The "Connection Type/Speed" selection is blackened to conceal the author's connection speed.)

Now, go to http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Game-Maker-Download-18870.html and right-click on the download location. Now, select "Download with DAP". Mozilla Firefox 3.0.12 or 3.5.1 is recommended. Finally, "Run" or "Save", then your fast Game Maker download should begin.

(Please keep in mind that if you want to download Game Maker from from the YoyoGames mirror, then the download is slow. So recommend my post.)

How to fix the "No installed Python found" bug with Blender 2.49a with Python 2.6.2 Installed

At times, if you want to launch Blender 2.49a, a message may appear on the Blender startup command prompt. This message is:

Compiled with Python version 2.5.
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Checking for installed Python... No installed Python found.
Only built-in modules are available. Some scripts may not run.
Continuing happily.

If you have two or more Python installations and uninstalled one of them (not Python 2.6.2, as needed by Blender 2.49a to run properly), that message may appear. To fix the problem, reinstall Python 2.6.2 here (depending on your OS): http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.2/
Please do not open the installation file (depending on your OS, again) fron the Web, as opening the file may cause problems with the installation progress. There's no need to restart your computer, after you reinstalled Python 2.6.2 successfully, run Blender and the above message is not displayed unless you have installed another Python version.

What MetroGames Apps are Similar

Remember that...

Biotronic is similar to Bejeweled?
Waka-Waka is similar to Pac-Man?
Word Island is similar to Scrabble?

Except...
Pixel Ranger, and Typing Maniac, that are original in form?

That's it. All MetroGames apps are five. And they contain interesting facts.

Do you see that certain ABS-CBN shows have their respective sites with the subdomain multiply.com? I suggest other subdomains for a new official site of an ABS-CBN show.



Q: Why multiply.com?

A: ABS-CBN creates sites of some of its shows on the Multiply social network in order to make the show produce fans.

Q: Why abs-cbn.com?

A: Because it is suitable to the show ABS-CBN wants to give more information about it.
