  • Funny list I found of actual domain names. I won't go through all of them (they are all in the show notes), but I thought it was funny that a site well-known in the IT community it on there. I never noticed that the Experts Exchange domain also can be read Expert Sex Change.

Strange and Stupid Internet Company Names

The following are all legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough time considering how their online domain name might appear ... and be misread.

These are not made up. Check them out...

1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their Web site is: www.whorepresents.com
2 . Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at: www.expertsexchange.com
3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at: www.penisland.net
4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at: www.therapistfinder.com
5. There's the Italian Power Generator company: www.powergenitalia.com
6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com .
7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always: www.ipanywhere.com .
8. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site is: www.cummingfirst.com .
9. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site: www.speedofart.com .

  • When I was checking out our stats this weekend, I found we had a link to the show from HackerMedia?.org. I believe these are the guys that produce Hacker Public Radio and the PLA Radio podcast (which is freakin' hilarious BTW). The whole page is covered with feeds from the podcasts I'm guessing they listen to, so if you are looking for some recommendations, it would be a good place. I saw Caffination, Lab Rats, PaulDotCom?, and plenty more. Just thought some mind find it of interest. And most of all, thanks for the link guys.

Keith's Topics

  • Resource Hacker Utility
-So, I loaded the BabyWeb? app I spoke about a couple shows ago on my portable apps drive and it shows up as 'Server Application' because that is how the developer listed it in the version information. This is a minor annoyance to me, so I tried to find out how to change it.
-Resource Hacker is a freeware utility that allows you to do just that and more. Open the executable, go to the Version Info, change it, compile script and save the executable. That simple.

  • Wireshark 1.0 Released
-'Nuff Said.

  • ISO adopts Microsoft OOXML as standard
-I'm not opposed to it, I just don't understand why it is in Microsoft's best interest to do this? I guess they have the edge with Office 2k7 already supporting and now all the Open Source alternatives have to play catch-up since they were backing ODF.

Netscreen Tip: If you have a NetScreen? device that you need to wipe to factory default and don't have the password, you can login to the device via console with the serial# as both the username and password. It will reset to factory default. It does log the fact this was done. There is no recovery of the password (i.e. Boson decrypt of Cisco hash)

Listener Feedback

From Greg Shields....He is the author of the Standing On My Vista Soapbox article that Steve brought up for discussion in the last show...

Hi guys -

I listened to your commentary about my recent MCP Magazine quickTIP column titled "Standing on My Vista Soapbox" in your recent podcast. Considering the debate still goes strong, I figured I'd make myself available for an interview if you want to continue the conversation further.

--Greg Shields

[KEITH] Greg, by the time you hear this, I will have already gotten in touch and hopefully we can arrange for you to be on the next show or I can at least interview you for the next show.
