Strange number keeps calling.
by Collins Areba | Tel +254 707 750 788 | twitter ＠brainiacKE 26 Sep '13

Hello guys, maybe someone can explain this phenomena. At exactly 12:00, this number keeps calling me. I pick and all I hear is music and some sort of promotion, no answers, no disconnection. I have once called back but nothing, number is off... its a +254787 number... who can explain what this is? -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”*

[SKUNKWORKS] Hotlink protection and CDN
by Martin Gicheru 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hallo skunks, Sometime back I decided to protect images from being hot-linked and it got me confused for a whole day before I figured out what was going on. You know how we want to protect our hard earned bandwidth from hot-linkers. All the images inside the blog posts stopped showing, this means any image that was being delivered by the Content Delivery Network I use wouldn't show. Had to disable hot-link protection and all was well. Anyone been through this and is there any way to get both? Regards, Martin Gicheru | Founder and Editor at Techweez
