JAP Proxy App

Simply download and install JAP from this website:

https://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.html

Then load the program from the start menu folder, run through the configuration of the program and then configure your internet browser as thus:

Internet Explorer > Connections > LAN Settings > Use a proxy server:

Address: localhost
Port: 4001

If you configure IE to use JAP then you may find several other applications will start working as they use Internet Explorer's setting's to connect to the internet. Otherwise, see if there is a Proxy button/tab in your program's settings.

There is also an anoymous feature to the program, but it does slow it down a little bit. You can also buy a subscription, but at the moment the program seems to have good speeds :)

You will need to have installed Java from www.java.com - however the JAP installer already has a Java downloader available if you don't have it already.

Happy surfing!

NOTE: The proxy does not seem to like it when you login to online profiles such as Facebook or YouTube - so I don't recommend using JAP for those. In that case, use something such as www.hidemyass.com, or search Google for "free proxy".

If you want to buy a subscription, you could also try Your Freedom.

Forwarding Gmail to Hotmail - POP3 and SMTP are now open to all Hotmail accounts!


Category: Web, HTML, Tech



You need to go to your Gmail Settings page, and go to "Get mail from another account". Use your Hotmail address, and use the following information:

username: username@hotmail.com
password: your password
POP3 server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
SSL: Enabled

If that isn't working, try this hack version:

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/22/hack-to-enable-hotmail-pop3-and-smtp-support-instantly-for-all-countries/

If this does not work, then you will need to link together your Gmail and Hotmail accounts by the method on this page:

http://shamanix.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/full-migration-hotmail-gmail/
Specifically using this feature (use an existing email address, which will be your Gmail address): https://accountservices.passport.net/PPNetworkHome.srf?lc=1033


For more information about all this or to use Outlook Express instead, go to this page: http://ask-leo.com/what_are_windows_live_hotmails_pop3_and_smtp_settings.html

Please email me if this is not working for you! :)

Using Gmail? Want to forward from Hotmail to Gmail?

There is a really easy guide right here:

http://shamanix.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/full-migration-hotmail-gmail/

Basic steps are:
1. Copy over Hotmail emails to Gmail
2. Copying your contacts over (remember that they will not synchronise, so you will need to 'add' new people to Gmail as well unfortunately :(
3. Allow using your Hotmail email address when sending from Gmail ("Add another email address")
4. Redirect new Hotmail to Gmail *****
This is the tricky bit. I find that if you setup using your Gmail at this page [https://accountservices.passport.net/PPNetworkHome.srf?lc=1033] then you can link Hotmail-Gmail using Linked ID's, and it's "more likely" that Hotmail will let you redirect to a non-MSN email. Otherwise you will need Easy Email Forwarding (Windows Forwarding client) and FreePops (I have copies if people want them) or GetMail (old version of EEF), or IzyMail (Web service, but want money).

What do you mean you can't buy Happyness?

You CAN buy Happyness!!!

In biology, the brain works using something called neurotransmitters, which are released upon certain stimuli from the 'real' world via your senses. e.g. You look at the sun setting, it triggers memories, and you smile.

It so happens that there are certain chemical neurotransmitters called Endorphins, which, when you are stimulated in a certain way, result in you feeling happy. (There was also a report about chocolate having similar effects...)

So that means...

If you could somehow get hold of endorphins, either ingested (eaten), injected or whatever...

Then you CAN actually buy happyness!!!

:)

PS.... I noticed this idea is pretty similar to that episode of Doctor Who (Gridlock, for those of you who want to look it up :) where they were selling drugs in green packets in the stalls...

PPS... Somebody sparked up that the EVIL drug heroin has a similar purpose... however, heroin is made from morphine, and is highly addictive, so I DO NOT suggest you ever, ever, ever take it!!! Ever!
(Not that I'm forcing you to become StraightEdge, as your life is your own choice of course!)
But the great thing about this whole idea is that endorphins are already made by the body itself - they are naturally-occurring chemicals - in fact, if you didn't have any, you wouldn't be human!!!

In effect, you are therefore bypassing the whole neurotransmitter-release stages that heroin has to go through in order to make you feel happy - endorphins are just the end result of taking heroin! (Well what I am led to believe anyway).

All I'm saying is, happyness is just a state of mind, caused by chemicals in the brain. If we could reproduce these chemicals and get them into the brain... then it would be true that you can buy happyness :)

"Meh" has been added to the dictionary!!!

Just google it to find out!!

Do you need alcohol to have a good time?

Computer says No.

You shouldn't need to drink in order to forget your emotions and feelings.
You should be able to control your emotions in all aspects and situations so that you don't end up doing things that can ruin you.
I have my bad and depressing times but I deal with them by purely thinking them over and then finding a way of resolution, or finding something to keep my mind off it like having a wank or about making something new like a blog post. Something I can do that will make either me or the world just that tiny little bit better.
In this way, I am taking something bad, and channelling the energy into something good - also called "Sublimation". Some psychologists believe that all success is the result of sublimation - fore example, the perspective of becoming a failure forces the person to ensure they don't become like that, and so they pursue an achievable goal.

Sublimation is a defence mechanism - and a defense mechanism helps the ego (the part of the mind that surfaces into reality) cope with anxiety.
