Guess what Create-A-Fart does?
It let's you create a fart (good thing I explained it to you :o).
You can choose the duration, fart type, and density of your fart.
Heh heh, heh heh heh...

One of the coolest things about the new version of MSN Messenger (6.0) is all the new emoticons, especially the animated ones.
And another new thing that they added there is the ability to create your own emoticons.
I added two:
 and  (heh heh, heh heh heh)
Try to find small images for your custom emoticons otherwise when messenger resizes them they won't look good.

The parents of the Star Wars Kid are suing his classmates who posted the video on the Internet.
They want $160,000 from the families of the four classmates who published the video.
"Ghyslain's parents claim their son was so humiliated, he is undergoing psychiatric care and may be marked for life by the experience. "
The poor kid had to drop out of school and finished the semester at a children's psychiatric ward.
Due to all the cruel remarks that have been posted about Ghyslain many people are trying to help him.
Two people raised money to buy him an iPod, two other people raised more than $4,300 from 421 separate donations, and a petition to get Ghyslain a part in the next Star Wars movie has been signed by more than 30,000 people.

Well actually it isn't a Smart but the Tango is a cool tiny car that can do 0 to 100kmh in less than 4 seconds and can go 130km for each 3 hour charge (using a standard electricity socket).
And it's thinner than some motorcycles!
What more you ask?
Some of the highlights:
Safety? It has jet-pilot seat belts and a racing-regulation roll cage; it weighs more than 3,000 pounds, about the same as a Toyota Camry, including 1,100 pounds of Yellow Top batteries under the floorboards as ballast, so it's not tippy on turns.
Storage? Enough room for a back-seat passenger, a couple briefcases and workout gear or a baby seat, umbrella stroller and diaper bag or 12 sacks of groceries.
How much? Eighty grand for the first, hand-assembled, leather-lined luxury models with 400-watt Nakamichi sound systems; later on, it's hoped, $20,000 or less for a mass-produced people's version.
This two-person, commuter concept car could very well alleviate air pollution, cruise past freeway congestion, shimmy through urban gridlock and actually find a parking spot.
Sign me up for one....

Starting Friday, 25 July 2003 Swedish websites must have the user's consent to use cookies.
What the?
This means that Swedish web sites can either not use cookies or they have to create a page where they tell the user what they are using the cookie for and whether the user agrees to use them.
This is a tremendous problem since many websites rely on cookies for session management and they would have to recode their entire sites (read: a nightmare).

Buying The Cow was the movie that we saw this weekend.
It's an ok film but nothing great.
The movie started out pretty good but got boring by the end.
There were some funny scenes especially the scenes with Ryan Reynolds (Mike Hanson) that kept the movie moving along.

Since UpSave has been updated I decided to do some work on the UpSave logo.
The two examples I've created till now are:
And
Let me know what you think....

UpSave.com was successfully transferred to the new server and it seems like everything is working smoothly.
I was even able to keep the existing "UpSave button" and "UpSave Quick Links" URLs working (at first I though that I wouldn't be able to keep the existing URLs which means that I would have to tell all UpSave users to update those links).
Now everybody can use UpSave with all those annoying ads and popups!
Spread the word....

I removed the mobile-cam thumbnail from the site's template.
Even though it's essentially a MoBlog (before they invented the MoBlog), it's easier to post images to my text-america account and so I just decided that I'd post the pictures there.
Another added value is that Text-America places the picture I post on their front page (for a short while) and this generates some more traffic to guymal.com.

This is a pretty cool idea: Password Scrambler 1.0 lets you have one password for all the websites that you use but uses it to generate unique passwords according to the URL of the website.
That way every site has a different, secure password and you only have to remember your master password.
The idea is great (that's why I'm writing about it here) but I do not use this software since you can't get the list of all of your site passwords.
Maybe if they add that feature and make it easy to backup all your passwords (especially to sync them with my Palm Pilot) I'll use this program.
Oh yea, it is integrated with Microsoft IE in the button toolbar and automatically fills in your passwords.

Enter your birthday into the Age Gauge and it will tell you how old you were when historic events happened.
It will also show you how much younger (and older) you are than some celebrities.
Did you know that I was 5 years old when the first Cheers episode was televised and I am 7 years 9 months younger than Jennifer Aniston?
This is some very important information!

This is a list of all of Amazon.com's patents.
According to this list it seems as if Amazon has patents on just about anything that has to do with e-commerce and the other standard things on the web.
They should be called Amaze-on (they probably have a copywrite on that name as well :o).

Back To The Future Part II
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

 Yesterday we saw the next movie in the trilogy: Back To The Future Part II.
After seeing Back To The Future Part I on Friday we decided to continue with the series (we won't be able to see part three today).
Unfortunately, the Part II DVD doesn't have as much bonus features as Part 1, but it's still my favorite movie in the trilogy.
I hope we catch Back To The Future Part III sometime this week.

 On Friday I saw one of my all time favorites: Back To The Future.
I bought the trilogy a while ago but hadn't had a chance to see it, so Friday I finally did.
I don't really believe in buying DVD movies but this series is an exception.
The DVD offers some cool popup facts while you are watching the movie (but I noticed that the Back To The Future Part 2 DVD doesn't have this :-().
Next time I'm going to see it with the director's commentary.

I have selected a new web host and am currently working on transferring UpSave.com to the new server.
I haven't touched the current site or the DNS so everything should be working as usual.
When I finish setting up the new server I will update the DNS and take down the old site.
