Spy Journal 3.0 Filtering the web for you

Amit has written an article on disposable webpages, these webpages are similar to the temporary email and disposable email services. Now this wesbite, http://disposablewebpage.com/getwebpage provides a service for disposable webpages. The process involves making a proper webpage using the rich text editor that also supports tables, images and Flash movies and then set the time when you want that web page to expire.

I am busy upgrading all our websites. both our company and personal ones and all our customers sites. there have been a number of security issues on the web lately with both Drupal and IE. See this story about Badware on Ethans blog - this is similar as to what happened to this site about a week after I launched it.

Fortunately I found the problem almost immediately and was able to delete the hacked scripts. However they kept coming back and I couldn't figure out how. I changed the administrator password and that stopped them. Then I upgraded the site and the problem has now gone away.

I'm playing with the Windows Live Beta toys at the moment

Specifically the Photo Gallery and the Live Writer as means of creating a richer blogging experience for myself and also for clients.

The setup was very simple and pain free. If this works ( and I think it will) then Windows Live plays nicely with Drupal.

Exciting news for Flickr users who prefer the Windows Live Photo Gallery. Microsoft has recently released a new version of Windows Live Photo Gallery that lets you send the pictures to Flickr directly from the desktop. You can use this feature to bulk upload images and folders to Flickr. Similar to the official Flickr uploaders the Microsoft one will resize your pictures before uploading into Flickr and specify where the pictures should be uploaded to the Flickr uploader. You can download this Flickr enabled version of Windows Live Photo Gallery through Windows Automatic Updates (kb943550) or the common Windows Live Installer.
