MSN Marketing?
Mar 27th
So, as most of us have, I’ve played WoW a time or two, and had a few extra dollars to blow, so I paid a company to power-level me, yea boo me as you wish! But the thing is, I haven’t played WoW in a long time, probably 6-8 months. Since that time, I’ve received two different MSN invites. I didn’t think much of the first and had a similar conversation with that individual, but when I got this invite, like 35 minutes ago, I couldn’t resist showing how to get back at one of these companies. It’s really simple, just do a domain lookup on the persons website, in this case it’s hawow.com, and start quoting what you find 
Anyhow, here’s the chat from the beginning!
Playin’ with Android 2.1
Mar 27th
I’ve always played with these back-burner programming API’s that hardly anyone uses anymore, at least on the corporate level. So I figured why not start something new. I’ve recently taken some sustenance in Android and it seems on a daily basis that I’m thinking of ways to incorporate it within Second Life. Maybe an inventory management system, a sales system to incorporate with Hippo, hell I have plenty of ideas, but don’t know where to go at the moment. For now I’ll be looking into Android 2.1 and being that I’m used to standard OOP syntax structures, I don’t think it’s going to be hard, but I’d love to hear some ideas from some of you Android users about this. If any

Bots?
Mar 26th
Lately I’ve been posting links to my blog to the Scrtipt Academy group and as expected I’ve had new user registrations. However, never had this many within 24 hours. Some of the usernames are very profane and very odd. Therefore, to deter automated systems, I have setup an email verification registration system with captcha being required. Hopefully this will deter any automated registrtaion systems. On the bright side of things, you can now supply your password that you want rather than having one generated for you. Now this isn’t to deter REAL users, everyone can STILL REGISTER.
Second Life and PHP
Mar 24th
I’ve created a beginner’s tutorial to show how to use Second Life’s llHTTPRequest function to communicate with PHP scripts on a website. This offers absolutely limitless possabilities when attempting to communicate with websites, databases and many other web-based application platforms and APIs.
LSL Code for WordPress
Mar 24th
This is an add-on to the Syntax Highlighter Evolved WP plugin provided by Viper007Bond & Automattic. Which is a modified version, to fit WP of course, of the SyntaxHighlighter JavaScript package by Alex Gorbatchev. This plugin adds the LSL, Linden Scripting Language, language to the available languages.
The plugins current version is 1.0.0 and the original javascript code was provided by sabro and was downloaded from undermyhat.org. I simply put it into a WP plugin.
Strictly Second Life
Mar 24th
I have since moved my portfolio to another domain. This allows me to show off my web design skills while keeping second life entirely separate. So what is Phyrax.com for then? Well it’s going to be my second life blog full of tutorials, coding snippits, and resources for any second life’er. So keep checking back.
