A day in the life of a dog (in 25 seconds)
This is an old post.. but I love the video, so I just had to repost it.. Sasha passed away about a year ago RIP.
--- Snip -- Repost from a long time ago ------
I always wonder how my dog spends her days... I've always assumed that due to her age she just lays on the bed all day...
So... to discover what exactly she does, I setup a webcam, capturing a frame every 8 minutes OR whenever there was motion detected... The video starts around Noon and ends around 10pm.. this is funny.. A whole day in 25 seconds...

TNL-FTP A Free FTP Client for Windows
I just uploaded some minor updates to my free FTP client for windows. Back in the 90s I fell in love with WS-FTP, over time their UI changed a lot and I hated it, and didn't see a reason to continue paying for it. So I wrote my own clone that had a UI that was very close to what I preferred working with. Eventually some colleagues convinced me to release it for free... so here it is:
"This new version has many fixes geared towards Windows 7 and Windows Vista users. This FTP Client is included with Perl Scripting Tool as a FREE stand alone application. This feature-rich FTP Client makes FTP a snap. TNL-FTP is a feature-rich drag-and-drop FTP client. With a look and feel that is comfortable and straight forward to use.
What’s New in 1.9?
• Now Supports Resume on Uploads and Downloads
• Send Raw FTP commands directly to the ftp server.
• Open Local Files (instead of just VIEW).
• Optional Gridlines on Directory Listings.
• Several Bugs Corrected.
• Minor Cosmetic Changes.
Features Include:
• Multiple Profiles
• Advanced Connection Settings
• Automatic Transfer Mode Detection (I.e. Binary, ASCII)
• Full SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 Proxy Server Support.
• Full Drag and Drop File Transfers.
• Advanced functions such as CHMOD, Passive Transfers and Resumes.
TNL-FTP’s UI is styled after classic versions of WS-FTP to give you a familiar look and feel.
TNL-FTP is free and can be downloaded here: DOWNLOAD TNL-FTP

TNL-FTP A Free FTP Client for WindowsBad Translations
A friend of mine bought an ipod clone online. He got it from http://www.mp3playerbuying.com (which isn't loading for me now)..
The place was in china. The paypal account he paid to was a US account from a different company, the confirmation came from yet a different company and it was shipped from yet another company.
This thing is very cool for the cheap price tag, but it goes overboard trying to be a clone. In fact when you turn it on it has a slightly altered apple logo that pops up on the screen.
The the most awesome part was the instruction booklet. This has to be the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time. The translation is so incredibly funny I had to scan it and post it up.. So check it out

Do check these out.. they had me laughing for hours...
Bad TranslationsThe Great Credit Card Prank
This is hilarious.. be sure to check out the great credit card prank II linked at the end of the article!
Credit card signatures are a useless mechanism designed to make you feel safe, like airport security checks. So my question was, how crazy would I have to make my signature before someone would actually notice?

Linux Command Line Tools for CMD.EXE
For me, I find the linux command line like a second home. When I'm on Windows, I find that I live in CMD.EXE a majority of the time -- I usually always have a command prompt open. Aside from everything about Windows that drives me insane on a regular basis, I find the command prompt almost useless by itself, especially when compared to linux.
How often do you hop on a windows command prompt and type 'ls' instead of 'dir'? Somewhere along the way I started collecting small collections of Linux tools that run in the windows command prompt. Every few months someone else asks if I can send them my archive of tools as they don't want to deal with msys or cygwin... These are from various sources over the years, including various collections of others.
The full list of programs included in the archive is here: http://www.brian-shaffer.com/dls/nixutils.txt
Download the archive here: http://www.brian-shaffer.com/dls/nixutils.zip
Just add it to your path environment variable.
