Emily Chang - eHub Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences. EmilyeHub is a resource of web applications, services, resources, blogs or sites that I'm using, find compelling or notable. I'm online every day and this list is updated whenever something comes in while surfing, via email, RSS reader, SMS or search. I'm particularly interested in next generation web (web 2.0), social software, Ruby on Rails, Ajax, blogging, location mapping, open source, folksonomy, tagging, design, and digital media sharing, so this resource has that point of view.

fix for error-message 0x80070643BITS, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, is an essential part of Windows Update process. Sometimes things may go wrong, BITS stops working and you are not able to update your Windows anymore automatically or from Windows Update-website. This often occurs when you uninstall certain antivirus/internet security programs. BITS-service simply stops running and an attempt to start it again causes an error screen. But.....you need to start BITS to update again.. That's where this program comes in. It is a collection known and previously unknown fixes for this problem and running this program usually solves the problem and you're back in business again. NOTICE: This program does NOT enable the Windows Update when the cause of the malfunction is using a pirated version of Windows XP. This program fixes a known problem with legal Windows XP-systems. This is the very first version of the program. In the future FixWindowsUpdate will be able to fix other Windows Update-related errors also. Not only BITS-related, so stay tuned. This program will be developing step-by-step. The next step will be adding a fix for error-message 0x80070643, hopefully this will happend the week starting November, 5th, 2005. So, if this program is not capable fix your problem yet, please come back later and see if new versions can help you.

Block Avoid :: Circumventing content filters.
Almost everyone has been stuck in a corporate or school environment where access to the internet was managed by a content filter. Some of us have to put up with perfectly legitimate or acceptable websites being blocked for "productivity reasons", leaving us unable to check personal email or surf at lunch or break times.
It's a pain for sure, but there are ways to bypass these filters to gain more freedom in the workplace and to avoid the boss from tracking your browsing habits. Some of these are documented, some are not, but there is nowhere that collects all the information together and presents it in an accessible form. That, is what I intend to do.
A database of free and fast web proxies that can be used by anyone. Learn how you can set up a personal proxy, use Tor to bypass filters, and much more!

Stop error on boot: "Whenever I try to start my computer, a blue screen pops up right after the windows loading screen. It states: "STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x03020100, 0xF85D4550, 0x00000000)" It was likely the display drivers. I'd know for sure if I had a copy of your MEMORY.DMP file. What happens is the drivers get corrupted/munched, sometimes for no reason anyone can tell, and then you end up with freezes, crashes, logon problems and the BSOD stop errors. Which can be completely cryptic. Yours may or may not have been an infinite loop problem. I'm thinking is. Just because I've seen this situation before. With some of the same log events. You should look for an entry for ATI2mtag or one with an ID of 108 in the system event logs. "
