MySpace... back in 2001?

Since Gmail started offering IMAP access, that has allowed me to link it to my other email accounts and dump all my messages going back to 1999 on their service (I've lost just about all my email from before 1999).

After dumping all my email to Gmail's servers, it's filters picked up some "new" messages that had "myspace.com" in their header. It seems like I got some messages from "MySpace.com" back in January 2001.

Apparently I joined MySpace around 7 years ago.

Well, while it was the site "myspace.com", it was an online file storage thing. Not the social site it is now.

My old myspace.com account was purged before the domain and site changed over.

The signature on the e-mails I got said this:

Thank you,

possible new program

i just created a new program called XdN NetSet.

basically its a network connection profile manager.

i work in an environment where my IP address may change several times. i may be using DHCP in one location, but need a Static IP in another location, and even a different Static IP again depending on what i'm doing on my system at the time.

XdN NetSet will display the current config, and allow you to easily change between DHCP and Static IP profiles.

you can try it out by clicking here: https://xenomorph.net/?p=512

it's in a pretty early stage right now, and will be probably changing some more.

holy cow traffic

During the past few days, my site has been getting more and more popular because of the XdN Tweaker program I made.

During August alone, server logs show over 530,000 page hits, with over 52,000 downloads of XdN Tweaker.

Total bandwidth usage has been over 13 Gigs this month. I've had to pay twice now to increase the amount of bandwidth I'm allowed to use with my web hosting provider.

Google now shows that the term "xdn tweaker" shows up on over 200,000 pages. While searching Google, I found links to XdN Tweaker on sites like these:

FileForum / BetaNews
Neowin
gHacks
Lifehacker
Softpedia
NT Compatible
Major Geeks

I've been receiving a ton of traffic from so many sites. A few days/weeks ago, in an attempt to get more feedback on the program, I submitted XdN Tweaker to Neowin. It made it to their Software news section, and the next thing I knew, XdN Tweaker was showing up all over the internet on different software websites.

A lot of the tweaks present in XdN Tweaker are things I use myself - many of them making Windows Vista more enjoyable to use. Hopefully the popularity of XdN Tweaker will bring that little bit of joy to other people as well.

I just hope I can afford the bandwidth bills to make sure its available for everyone. (Feel free to donate if it helps you!)

Site Updates

I've recently posted a few updates to my Windows and System Issues parts of my site.

The Windows section will contain more information on different Windows operating systems, and the System Issues section contains some problems I've come across that I've been able to successfully look up the solutions for.
