BlogSmall business, Marketing, Promotion and Web Design

Having thought it all through, I think the subject of online credit card fraud deserves the specially written article. But before jumping the water, I think it would be worth to at least try to gather as much information as possible. So I set up a small survey, which I ask anyone who reads this blog to participate in. There are only 12 questions and it doesn’t take more then 5 minutes to fill out.

Here’s the URL:<deprecated>

Please, do not fill it more then once.

Thank you.

• Yahoo clicks aren`t clicking (March 12, 2007): Today I got a call from one of my clients asking me to check stats with him as he is seeing certain discrepancies in Overture reports. We went in and figured that the number of clicks reported by Overture roughly 3 times larger then what is being reported by AWstats. Upon contact, Yahoo/Overture issued a [...]
• Why Trusted Platform Module won’t protect you (December 14, 2007): Recently I was asked a very good question on Trusted Platform Module. Question stated that once the hard drive is removed from the system, there is nothing that prevents attacker to break decryption (even brute force it) and obtain data no matter how secure it is. Pretty much all the protection applied in [...]

Platform: Linux Space: 1000 MB Bandwidth: 30GB Control Panel: yes IP Address: no Email Accounts: unlimited Database(s): unlimited Expected cost: 1 per year Right, like someone is really going to give them free hosting like this.

• Twitting in a new way (December 18, 2007): There is a post on Mashable that outlines how to game Twitter into becoming a natural environment to spread malware. There is little to none incentive to create pure spam feeds, as they will, undoubtedly, be closed and all future links will be marked with "nofollow" attribute. Malware, however, is whole another story. In this [...]

Yeah, the election day is tomorrow and nobody seem to care about anything anymore. Personally I’d like to see someone else winning then some Texan cheater, but hey, that’s not even up to me.

During this weekend talked to some other folk to see if I was right about the attitude I was getting from the Russian guys and was totally supported. Nice to see the business is not only about making money, but also about making a good impression.

Strange thing about other guys who bid on my project. Where it clearly states that the budget is fixed, they nevertheless put their own price on things. Fun part is they feel discriminated when I tell them I have a budget. Cheapskates.

Some teams are so anxious to get the job, once they get my e-mail, they started sending me their ideas on the web site WITHOUT EVEN HAVING THE SPECS! That’s funny, because if I don’t like their ideas I’ll turn to others and they don’t even want to have a chance to look at what I, as a client, may want. This activity looks like premature ejaculation of some sort. C’mon, guys, save it for a proper moment. You’d please much more then.

Continuing on a subject of carding. I have bookmarked the carders’ web site last year. Yesterday went to it - it’s still up and perfectly running. Either web hosters who keep the site on their servers couldn’t care less or there’s some major twist in people’s minds that I totally missed. I mean - no matter what they tell you about not paying by stolen cards you may as well be their next victim. Not sure if banks would go for this, but I have a plan. It sort of like hiring ex-hackers to harden security that they themselves had breached. Instead of paying high insurance premiums and reimbursements, why not secretly purchase all those stolen credit card numbers and silently alter the accounts affected. It would cost much cheaper then making up for it, at least from my prospective. It would also give banks the edge on alerting insecure vendors that they have security flaws. All in all it would benefit both consumers and banks. If any bank wants to implement such a security measure I’ll be happy to do the research for them.

• What to do when your contractors fail to deliver? (October 26, 2004): Run away? Buy a ticket to their home town and play the Punisher? Beg the client for forgiveness? Gee, what people usually feel when they set some one else up? I think I should try being more aggressive towards people who work for me.

• Outsource the outsourcing!!! (October 27, 2004): Was interviewing another programmer for a web programming job and he (with an atrocious smile) told me over ICQ that he already saw the project I was hiring him for.

People want everything for free and when you’re giving it to them - they don’t care to receive it. So much for good intentions.
