Janio’s Blog

Already moved!

Right now this blog can be read from the new server (that will move, itself, in a few days, to a better hardware).

Considering I was moving the blog, I took the chance to migrate from sarmento.org/english to englihs.sarmento.org, what makes me feel better about SEO and indexing.

The next step is to move my root site (my blog in Portuguese) to the same server.

Wish me luck.

A couple days ago I was invited by Matt Callen, from AdSpyTracker, to write a short testimonial about the superb script I bought from him in December. I enjoyed the idea so much that I decided to use the inspiration and write a more detailed review here, in case there is someone that can benefit from what I have to say.

Manoel Netto, from Tecnocracia blog, wrote an interesting article and a related WordPress plugin aiming to give Wikipedia a “payback” due to the fact that all of its external links now have a rel=”nofollow” attribute automatically.

Te rel=nofollow thing was created in 2005, I think, in order to fight comment spam. If a link has the nofollow attribute, then the search engine crawlers know that you, the site author, does not endorse that external link, what implies the spam sites will not benefit from the PageRank or “good neighborhood” viewpoint.

A few weeks ago in my original (Brazilian Portuguese) blog I wrote a post about migrating from Slackware to Ubuntu. Of course I could see every kind of reaction, since those who understood that I was making fun with the differences, until those zealots that — don’t aske me how — misinterpreted my text, as if I was trying to take users from Slackware to Ubuntu.

In fact, I really enjoy Ubuntu Linux, and I am going to point out the major reasons for it.

This article is a follow up to my previous article “ADSL users from BrT prevented from accessing YouTube” — published here and here — where I told that BrasilTelecom was blocking YouTube in order to avoid video traffic through their international links.

As you readers may know, I run a small web hosting business, and part of the work I have to do is to install and configure additional features to the system.

One day, my fellow Fábio asked me for a lighter webmail client, because his customers (Fábio is a reseller of mine) are not skilled enough to make use of bloated softwares. And, of course, there is the matter of the Language: our average customers do not read anything but in Portuguese.

BrasilTelecom is the most popular (and hated) phone company in South Brazil, with a very large market share, thanks to the fact it was a state-owned company that was sold for a dime (that’s another story).

Since it was announced that Brazilian authorities were tending to ask for the backbones controllers to block access to a specific YouTube video (more details here: Where no China has gone before: Brazil bans YouTube), BrT customers are totally unable to access any YouTube contents.
