New Yahoo Mail domains

A few days too late, Yahoo Mail now offers two new public email domains; "rocketmail.com" with some flavour of nostalgia, which was the former address of the service before it was acquired by Yahoo, and "ymail.com".

I checked it out but was a few days too late to catch a few very short names (a 4 letters name is a disadvantage this time), just found one for a friend.

So if you are looking for a neat free email address, your chances are still very good, jump in !

They also support moving your current e-mail address to a new one. Here is the entry from the Yahoo Mail blog.

Farewell XM, Hail AOL Radio!

One late note for people who have enjoyed listening to AOL radio (formerly known as Spinner and Netradio) on their winamps in the past, which presented a high number of well categorized stations, but then instantly replaced with free XM demo stations. XM had some good stations but they've cropped the list day by day to a few, as it was just a demo to their pay service. Some of you may have stopped using the service or switched to Shoutcast radio after XM.

Now XM's agreement is over and they've decided to stop using winamp to demonstrate their service. Some people was unhappy with this since it was their only chance to listen to XM in the European countries. But the great news is AOL is back on Winamp with their good quality stations. That made me happy, giving me a lot of choices from the rock, electronic and the jazz stations, along with the others.

So in case you are one of those who've stopped checking the service for updates, check it out, blow the dust off of your winamp, and of your ears!

Just wanted to inform others after having a good feast of music (power metal this time).

Ida Pro textbox bug

On Ida Pro disassembler, there is a bug which makes it painful to edit a text in a textbox. When you want to change a part of the text, you select the part as usual, then with a keypress all text gets replaced with an MRU entry beginning with the entered letter. So you need to avoid selecting text parts and use -del- key instead.

Sometimes I can't see how some wide spread, well recognized software can have some very simple and obvious implementation errors or bugs like this. And there are worse others...

No doubt Ida Pro is the best disassembler today, but it also has one of the worst interface designs I know of.

Hello World !

Finally I created a web log.

I was organizing my email accounts under Google and thought having a web log, just in case wouldn't hurt. I don't think this thing will be used much as I don't have much spare time, but from time to time I may post some quick tips which may save the day for people who search for some info on the web. I know a few situations saved mine...
