site updates

Good news! I’ve been working a lot on my site features recently. Today I’ve included an update that adds 47 languages to the entire site. To select a different language, scroll to the bottom and click the appropriate flag (this will probably move to the top). Site page translation is an ongoing process so it may be slow at first. Page requests also include Google translator for instant page translation.
Oh, heads up!
I’m in the process of starting a new web hosting solution for my friends, family, and colleagues. The service is dedicated to providing quick customer support response times and easy to use web hosting tools (this alleviates headaches of most hosting providers). Starting out, I will be the sole person managing the servers, applications, and support. Your questions, comments and concerns will go straight to me. The best part about this service is that I can now offer you any web related service (ruby on rails, postgresql, ad serving, social network integration, endless etc.). If you would like some solid, secure, and highly customizable hosting on my managed dedicated servers then please contact me at fantomstranger.net. Keep an eye out here for web hosting discounts by subscribing to the fantom-stranger.com facebook fanpage.

I found a digital guitar creates electronic music and runs Gentoo linux on Hack a day. It looks really fun and I approve of this.
Don’t think “acoustic” or “electric” but “electronic”.

A group of researchers stole the ‘torpig’ bot-net for 10 days. Encryption madness ensued….
Here’s the google techtalk about what they did to take over the botnet and analyze it (get ready its long and boring (an hour and 15 minutes) but crazy):

How iPhone OS “SHOULD” work
by Andy on Nov.24, 2009, under Computers & Technology, Development, Humor, Site Updates, Video

Wow, some developers have figured out how the iPhone should multitask, and enhanced it 7 fold*!itimes\*.. It’s pretty and it should already be here, but all the iPhone users are caught in apple’s iPhone stranglehold.
