Hello Everyone!

About a day or two ago my Windows Live Messenger (WLM) started acting a little funky. I would try to boot my WLM and instantly at the startup it would crash on me. I thought it was just having a bad day. But the next day, and after several reboots, I was still having this issue. I decided it would be more than just ‘a bad day’. So tonight I started looking, and I found this post on the Microsoft Answers Forums. I expanded the crash notice to show me the details, and compared it to those of the Original Poster (OP), sartha. I quickly saw that the ‘Appstamp’ and ‘Modstamp’ were the same as in the crash report delivered by Windows Live Messenger as shown in the screenshot below.

Hello Everyone!

As some of you might know, I do quite a bit of programming as a hobby. And thanks to that hobby I’ve already launched a few tools that are fairly well used (SINO and ARCDC). Well, from today there will be another tool available on Artellos.com, WVCheck! Windows Validation Check (WVCheck) is a tool to find out if the user is using a legit version of windows.

Recently, I have been taking a look at the “Windows 98, 95, ME” Forum and noticing something that I have quite a strong opinion of. Why do people keep old PCs running Windows 95, 98 or ME when they don’t really know what they are doing. Especially with all the threats these days. Even a hobby of keeping old Operating Systems is a dangerous one. An infection lies just around the corner.

This is a re-post of the article that got lost when I dumped my personal blog. I thought it was of value so I am reposting it now.

The past week or so, I have been playing around with the APIs of a site called RolePlayGateway through Python. This blog post will be all about those APIs and how to work with it using Python. In this blog post I am going to assume you have some coding knowledge, Python is not hard to understand so anyone with a decent coding background would be able to read the following example. Keep in mind I am not a genius and some of this code could probably have written in a better way. Feel free to show me how in the comments section!

I am sure, that most of the people that visit my blog know about Technical Helping sites like “Geeks to Go!” or “Bleeping Computer”. And if you don’t, they are Technical Support forums for the ‘Average Joe’ to receive help with their computer problems. Of course, we also get geeks visiting that would like to contribute to the site and become staff members. But there are also those, that try to impress others by ‘gloating’ about whatever ‘great thing’ they have done. It can be anything they claim to be good at, sometimes they even claim they can do anything in the technical field. Well guess what? The ICT/Technical field is so big that nobody can know it all.
