I was recently introduced to MyMint financial software, that is currently seeking individuals interested in their beta version. Personally, I’m not a big fan of financial managers because I haven’t really found one that suits me well. My financial situation is crazy and I rarely have time to log all my recent transactions into an insecure piece of software. However, I am really intrigued by this new MyMint concept, not to be confused with Mint web statistics by Shaun Inman.

When you sign up for beta access you’re asked to complete a survey, if you would be interested in receiving an invitation to their beta program faster than normal, I guess. Done! I am talking about your software and I haven’t even seen it. However, I know this is just a method to get free publicity and it works.

That is the image they asked me to post so I did. Now you see it, in a week or so if I don’t have an invitation, maybe you won’t. Not sure, depends on my mood. But I am really interested in checking out their software, pen-testing the shit out of it and hopefully breaking something.. if they invite me.

If you’re already using it, tell me how it is!!

Over the next two months I am going to be randomly revealing some of the methods I use to make money online. Everything from tricking Google Adwords to Spam. Granted some people are not going to like the methods and or information listed and explained during this series, honestly, if you don’t dig it don’t read it. Some is used by me, some is not, some scripts I wrote and some were purchased. Either way, this website is completely white-hat traffic driven but that is not to say that I won’t explain how to boost your revenue with some blackhat methods.

If you’re interested, I would suggest you subscribe to my feed.

That’s right! A while ago, Blake, Josh, Murphy and myself all got together one evening and decided that because we had nothing better to do, we would invest our dollar into diet coke and mentos. Actually, I don’t believe any of us had experienced this at home science experiment first-hand; prior to this evening. However, after a stop at a local convenience store for supplied we were on our way to advancing our knowledge of physics and chemistry.

Josh captured some photos in which he put on his flickr account for the world to see.

I noticed Uncrate had a wonderful product on display today, introducing the Mentos Geyser Tube

Saturday, Kimberly and I visited the Tribune Lofts downtown. One of Tulsa’s first and still, one of Tulsa’s only Urban living, loft-style living environments available. I phoned the offices of American Realty Group last week to discuss the oppurtunity to live in one of their available lofts. They said they had some availability and I could check them out. This was a wonderful surprise, considering when I spoke to them in November and December of last year, they were planning to sell the building outright.

I guess the Historical Society has a hold on the selling process and is forcing ARG to hold onto it for a bit longer. This is great, because it is going to give me an oppurtunity to get into the building and set myself on the line for first right to purchase the loft, I think. Either way, I am happy. Saturday we visit the building and got a feel for the environment. Its an absolutely gorgeous building and the interior has been remodeled and is really classy.

If you have been on a drive along highway 75, heading south around 71st South, you have probably noticed the massive construction project underway east of the highway. The project is a townsquare style shopping development costing upwards of 70 million dollars. The towncenter is rumored to have already signed deals with Target, Lowes, a whole food grocer and a twenty-five screen theater.

Amongst the deals already in writing, Tulsa Hills will also have retail space available. The space is currently measured at over 1 million square feet and should be completed in late 2007. If you need a comparison, Tulsa Woodland Hills Mall is 1.2 Million square feet.

Tel Aviv, a city along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea becomes home for the first Hooters restaurant in the holy land of Israel. Reuters reported yesterday that Ofer Ahiraz owns the Hooters that will open this summer and torment the people of Tel Aviv.

As if we haven’t tormented the middle-east enough already, we’re going to place a Hooters there. Personally, I’m not a fan of hooters, because Nick and I found a chicken talon in our wings a few years back; haven’t been there since. For a Hooters to open in Israel is just.. wrong!

This service has been discussed heavily across the blogosphere for nearly too long. In fact, my good friend David signed up for an account, which means I am only two steps behind him. First, all I have to do is decide to get an account and second, actually sign up. However, as the title mentions, my mother did not raise no twitter, user! (Get it like quitter? I’m done.)

Every day I come into contact with a new blog or blogger. It is wonderful to see new websites and read the content that they hold, however, it is definitely annoying to be bombarded with advertisements and images. That is just a minor outline of things about blogs that annoy me. There are probably a hundred different situations I’ve come across where I’m saying to myself, “are you f-ing serious?” But I compiled a list of just a few things that really urk me.

  1. Link love, it makes sense
  2. Make your content accessible
  3. Wow, thats alot of ads
  4. Echos are getting old
  5. Admins, stop being lazy
  6. I know who I am
  7. Stop filling forms out for me
  8. Direct linking is stealing
  9. Snap f$cking sucks!
  10. So many images, dumb.

Read Comment Relish Version 2.0 Released

Visitors love interaction, especially a personable approach at gaining their attention and spiking their interests. Increasing the overall readership of your blog revolves primarily around content, accessibility and presentation. In an attempt to gain return readers and possibly subscribers, I present Comment Relish.

A vulnerability in WordPress has been discovered which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. Input passed to the “year” parameter when used in wp_title() is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user’s browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution

The vulnerability is fixed in the SVN repository (revision 5003).
