Rest, aren’t worth mentioning, though I’ve decided to keep both my old and new pc. About Websites, I sold cropr.in (rebranded to a new site now) for a mid $xxx value at sitepoint. It was an AJAX cropper + resizer. Then, sold sprif.com an AJAX site again for $500 at sitepoint.

Now it’s the time to shoot and burn some stuff, game I mean

On a positive note, I didn’t really have any problem with running this script on IE (I usually have to break my head over this matter). To prelude its features, I guess it does everything you’d normally except a contact form to do. It sanitizes all the variables, checks for the Email structure and disabled the submit button once the email is sent to prevent mass emails. I would like to thank SecondVersion and Psyrens for the PHP backend & ajax captcha respectively. As usual I’m lazy to provide a detailed documentation about it and would *make sure* that I write one in the future. But the whole script isn’t obfuscated at all, you’d just have to edit some constants and woo! it’s done.

I’m currently working on integrating this script as a wordpress plugin. Please let me know any bugs/commments/feedback by commenting below or contacting me. Show-off your own modified version of this script here

I don’t have anything against most of the social networking sites out there (probably because I don’t visit many) but orkut is something which just rages me to the core. I find it ridiculous that it’s a big “phenomenon” in India (I would infact rate Chris Crocker’s videos more than this crap).

PS : Parental advisory :P, entry is a bit profane.

I really don’t understand the purpose of the “orkut scrapbook” (or perhaps, spambook), is it that the website fails to convey what the scrapbook really is or is it that those idiots who use it fail to understand that its not something which can be used chat with other users. Almost every orkut user thinks its the elite instant message protocol which can be used to send messages like “hi der???!!!!!”. My question to all these losers : What the fuck is wrong in using any of the IM services available, instead of spamming a user’s scrapbook with retarded junk ?

Another interesting, part in orkut is the “Testimonials”. Orkut users, especially Indians fail to understand that it’s not a place to spam others with graphical chain-messages. The best part, the users even accept testimonials submitted for them with these messages containing junk. Yeah, and a typical testimonial would start like “So let’s see….hmmm…..insert name here“, is it just me or is it that it’s the gayest way of starting how you feel about a person ?

It’s also very common to see that users have special names in their profiles using ASCII codes and fonts. Now my question to these high faggots is how in the world do they expect people visiting their profile to know who they are ? Randomly searching, I got this name “NOT#!NG $PEC!@L F0R ME EXCEPT……………”, Now seriously tell me what does this fruit expect from the people who visit his profile ? Being a non-orkut user, for me at least its quite difficult to understand who the person really is (or I don’t even know what that emo line means). I would try reading the testimonial at last to see who the person really is and you know its filled with chain-message junk.

<sarcasm>When it comes to security and ease of interface, orkut beats any website</sarcasm>. Orkut users randomly run these javascripts to send mass scrapbook entries to all the users (oh by the way, that’s more of spam). What these nincompoops aren’t aware of is, it takes a second for someone to add a XSS method to the scripts which would make the user vulnerable to hacking attemps. Orkut doesn’t care about this, they think putting a security tip at the homepage of every user would make them stop using these “mass-spam” scripts. Unlike Facebook, orkut doesn’t have an API. These javascripts can even change the user’s profile fields (no wonder, so many viruses are posting more spam in the spambooks).

To conclude, I would prefer facebook over orkut anytime. It’s more secure, neat interface and not gay like orkut (you can’t even use a fake name). Those orkut users who whine about abuse of their accounts (normally after getting hacked), probably deserve it because I would call it the “heights of insanity” to upload your picture at a site like orkut.

I’m done with the “anti-orkut post” :). I’ve some scripts being coded and would release them soon. Yeah and welcome to Abishek @ blogosphere.

I cannot update the blog, been busy in real life.

Will try updating in the mean time.

PS: Check the movie ratings page, hell yeah I can watch movies but cannot update my blog! :p

Apart from compTIA, I got certified in AJAX and Computer Skills (bah) way back in the first week on may and I was way too lazy to update this. I will post the screenshots of the hard copy certificate pretty soon (yes soon).

I’ve some exciting websites coming up soon and I’ll update here asap they get up. Be sure to check the updated about-me page for some “shiny badges” (I’m still waiting for some more badges).

There comes up my long awaited adsense cheque and it arrived quicker than what I was expecting. It sums up to 5500 INR and I’m going to upgrade my RAM usign this money . This was only possible because of the proxy websites I have, as proxir made 70$ out of the total 130$ without which adsense wouldn’t have crossed 100$ this soon!

The more I rant, the boring it gets, So here are the pics of the cheque if you want to see!

I hope I get my next cheque within the next 3 months :p

This host looks promising and the support yet has been great! I got my own nameservers too! Now comes the real one, I sold my proxy website which made 65$ as said in the previous post for 300$ as a buy it now price on sitepoint! This has been the greatest sale I ever did yet and teh transaction was pretty quick now I look forward to enchance my future project(s) and again I’m thinking of one more proxy website but this time with even more exposure to it.

The Paypal trasnsaction was pretty quick and the buyer was delighted to have a sale with me, here is a screenshot of my PayPal account -

There it is, the 300$ in my Paypal and thank paypal for taking away 12$ fee with it :c and what next ? I’m waiting for my adsense cheque that makes up a total earning of 450$ this month! More & more projects on queue and I forgot to say a sweet adieu to proxir.com.

Read more…..

That took away my 9$ from my paypal balance which has now beomce 45$ :P, but I’m expecting a good amount of money soon because I’ve planned to sell my proxy website which ended it’s february’s adsense with 65$. So assuming how usual stuff get’s sold 65 * 6 months revenue it’s 390$ but I may make it as a BIN of 350$. I’m expecting a cheque of 130 US$ from adsense next month…..

Much more to do, much more to code but I’m in one of the most challenging grade of my school right now that’s 10th grade and I’ve to balance my time for read’in up the book too.
