There is much more to the internet that looking at naked ladies and buying stuff on Ebay.
Craigslist is in the Favorites folder of almost every internet savvy surfer in the country as it just keeps getting more and more useful. Unfortunately the amazingly retro look and text based appearance isn’t to everyone’s taste. And the peace sign logo? Please.
However, help is at hand with new Web 2.0 site, CraigLook. It isn’t an alternative to our Craigslist fix, but an enhancement of it that adds much more functionality to the experience. Apart from appearing much more pleasing to the eye, even with a seemingly pre-school theme.
The site offers all the data of Craigslist, with the bells and whistles most of us expect from our websites. There are image previews, a slideable search radius tool, as well as selection boxes for the search function.
The site is easy to navigate and to use. It has an intuitive interface as well as easy to use selection criteria that even suggests stuff to search for. The most useful part of the site so far is the warning at the top of any search screen that tells you how many expired adverts are on the page. This to me is the single best time-saving device on the site.
Search for a region and a slider will appear on the left menu where you can select a suitable search radius. Say you wanted to search for Freelance Writing in New York. You can set the slider anything up to 250 miles from the city to broaden your search. The results will dynamically appear as you move the slider outwards to include those within the search radius. This is a genius idea, and perfect for those who don’t want to travel too far for their interviews.
There are the usual filters, like city, state, category, price and other options. The page builds and renders quickly and the changes made to the range slider are also quick to load. There is a freeform search bar at the top of the screen so you can move your search on without having to return to the home page.
The returns themselves are in much the same format as the standard Craigslist. The title, city, category and when it was posted, along with a line of text about the advert contents. They are easy to read, and to navigate but the best trick of all is that they load in page.
A little java like applet opens up the advert and nestles it within the search page. This is a genius way of saving a couple of clicks and precious minutes when searching for something. It makes using the site a dream, and so quick I’m going to visit more often.
While it isn’t the pinnacle of innovation, it is just the thing we want to see from the internet. People taking ideas and running with them. Improving the user experience and making the web easier to surf.

She never really did much for me, but people seem to love her…

List of the numbers they call from:
- 732-866-4091
- 603-214-3564
- 603-214-3615
- 603-214-3565
- 603-214-3343
If they call you from a different number leave it in the comments of this post and I’ll add it to the list.
Do you get calls from the phone number 603-214-3564 about car warranties? When you ask who they are they hang up on you? It’s a company called American Guardian Warranties, a company based out of California.
They also have a supposed method to remove yourself from the calling list which doesn’t work because I’ve used it over 10 times and they still call daily. So today when they called, instead of hanging up or asking who they are, I played along with the scam so I could get some info on them.
Here’s what I’ve found:
- Company Name: American Guardian
- Company Website
- Company Owners Name: Kirk Lerdal
- Company Owners Phone: 630-534-4155
- Company Owners Fax: 630-534-4180

So here’s the deal, as many of you know, COD4 and Windows 7 x64 don’t get along very well. More specifically it seems that PunkBuster is the one that’s not playing nice. I’ve tried all the different “fixes” you see online and none of them work.
The error that most of us get is something like “Windows API Error ######”
So, how can you still play COD4 on Windows 7?
Use cracked servers, more specifically the NoBS servers. I don’t know if this will work for EVERYONE but it works for most. Apparantly something NoBS has done with their servers during the crack process makes this error go away. If IW or PB has an issue with this then perhaps they should tell that worthless company, Evenbalance, to fix the fucking errors.
In the meantime, here are a list of servers that you can play on using COD4 AND Windows 7 x64

Here’s a list of the usual error codes given when Call of Duty crashes, for the sake of search engines and allowing people to find this post:
API Kick 131124:
Known cause: BF2Amp
Solution: Don’t use it
Known cause: PowerStrip
Solution: Get the latest version. Old versions of PS cause this kick.
API Kick 131126:
Known cause: Researching - Contact Evenbalance Support for troubleshooting - EvenBalance Support Ticket
Solution: Unknown
API Kick 131127:
Known cause: Researching - Contact Evenbalance Support for troubleshooting - EvenBalance Support Ticket
Solution: Unknown
API Kick 131129
Known cause: Trojan.Horse.BackDoor.Agent.BA
Solution: ID and remove it using AVG or other AV program (AVG recommend, currently only AV detecting this 11/28/05)
In NOTEPAD write this:
CODE
@echo off SET FILE=sqll echo y | cacls c:\windows\system32\*FILE*.dll /g Everyone:f attrib -r -s -h C:\Windows\system32\*FILE*.dll ren C:\Windows\system32\*FILE*.dll *FILE*.old del C:\Windows\system32\*FILE*.old
Than change the *FILE* to the filename infected and save this as REMOVE.BAT file. Run it in normal mode and the trojan BackDoor.Agent.BA is OUT.
Now, the hard part appears to be finding the name of the dll. The dll is write protected, and is unable to be deleted normally. Try the free version of AGV to tag the DLL. Also check out http://www.symantec.com/…/backdoor.agent.b.html
Known cause: Proxy.L Trojan
Solution: Remove with AV or Trojan remover
Known cause: Trojan horse Downloader.Agent.AL
Solution: Remove with AV or Trojan remover
Known cause: Trojan horse PSW.Delf.2.A
Solution: Remove with AV or Trojan remover

Solution: Disable overlay program
Known cause: DxTweaker
Solution: Disable DxTweaker program
Known cause: Older TSO - Causes a “Missing/Corrupted API” kick
Solution: Update TSO to latest build
API Kick 131135 - disabled as of 12/01/05
Known cause: Tiny Firewall
Solution: Uninstall it for a quick fix. Looking for options to disable API hooking and keep it installed.
Known cause: Kaspersky
Solution: possible options
Known cause: Ad-Aware
Solution: appears to load files on boot or run that stay active. Reboot and do not enable to play.
API Kick 131136
Known cause: Running BF2 in compatability mode
Solution: Disable compatabilty mode, do not run other programs in compatability mode at the same time.

The guy who was streaming the UFC 97 PPV on TVUPlayer stopped the video stream because apparently people were being racist in the chat. I wasn’t paying attention to the chat during the fight because the commentary is a notch below the quality of a youtube comment thread. It usually deteriorates into a white/black flame fest. Apparently Saturdays streamer was black and didn’t appreciate the repeated use of the word nigger in the chat and so he stopped the stream and told everyone to go find the stream form someplace else.
I ended up browsing around justin.tv watching choppy streams, totally horrible experience.
I hope TVUPlayer will find someone a bit more serious to stream the UFC event from now on. I mean yea it’s fucked up people were saying nigger in the chat, but fuck man, don’t ruin the whole thing for everyone because of a few idiots.
