Spear Phishing

As a follow up on a BBC program I have updated my website with a page on this subject.

Spell-Checking on Blogger

I don't think that spell-check works on the Blogger App on the iPad.

It seems to on mine but not on the 4

Scalpers

Due to the fact that ticketbots.net feel that they can send me emails firstly complaining that I had given them a false review and then telling me about their "fire-sale". I feel that I have to make this post.






$18,000 of software for only $4,500 - looks like the "full Scalper package".

Which ever way you cut it, this is dishonest way of circumventing the legitimate businesses  of ticket sellers such as Ticketmaster and AXS. TicketBots.net seem to think that it is okay to jump the queue, to use their software to gain an advantage over those that are using the ticket sales website in the normal manner.

It is just the same as the "scalpers" you used to see outside the venues before the Internet age. Selling tickets at inflated prices and offering to buy your extra ticket from you, the friend that couldn't make it, for a price far less than the face value.

Photo on the fly

This is an experiment in how Blogger can be used to make a photo journal.



This  was to assist another party  who was interested in starting a travel blog. As far as this blog is concerned it is pretty much relegated to a test-bed and I am not really interested in who visits it and what comments they make on it. My main content is on my website tempusfugit.ca, so if you are looking for any recent information that previously was featured here, I suggest you look there. 

One of the things that I find amusing is that only me and one other person ever visit this blog on a regular basis. It is just not that important and certainly not that interesting. I still entries in Google Analytics where a certain page seems to be popular, along with a check on what new posts that I may have made.

Blogging using the iPad

Has the ability to add photos been added?


Yes it has but the text in the list on the right (index of posts) overlays the default photo selected from the Camera Roll.
