I’ve recently bought Battlefield 3 and had rather unpleasant opportunity of playing with Origin. Maybe it’s because I’ve bought my copy from third party, not directly from EA, but I’ve had problems with activation. And not only with that. After installation game didn’t want to run at all. But a restart of OS helped here. When I’ve finally launched the game I’ve received such message.
In Office 365, like in any other hosted exchange service, you can create multiple aliases for your account. You just need to (while logged into OWA, you must have admin rights):
Voila! You got new alias on which you can receive emails. And that’s the problem, you can only receive. I wanted more. I wanted to be able to send emails from such alias. Fortunately there is solution to that, but not with aliases. You must use groups instead. Repeat two first steps mentioned above and then:
This is email I’ve received from Amazon today:
Hello from Amazon.com,
As a subscriber to Gazeta Wyborcza, we wanted to let you know that we had three days of missed delivery in the last month. Because of this, we are refunding you one month’s subscription charges. We have fixed the underlying cause of this problem and it should not happen again.
Thank you for being a Kindle customer.

It’s really good to know that there still are decent companies in the world.
Many domain registrars (or at least the ones I’m using) don’t provide domain hosting. So you’re unable to create any records for your domain, you can just change name servers for it. In most cases it’s fine as most of hosting providers gives ability to manage DNS records, so you just need to update name servers in your registrar control panel.
Sometimes however it’s not enough. For instance if you want to use your domain in Office 365 you need first verify that it’s yours. In order to do so you need to create TXT or MX record with value provided by O365 setup process. Of course if your registrar doesn’t offer domain hosting you’re unable to do so.
I saw following search phrase in Google Analytics “fb.liox.eu is it safe” for my site. I’ve checked it in Google if you can learn anything about it from other sites and as I’ve expected, you can’t (my site isn’t too popular after all). So let me try to answer it. I know that I wouldn’t be objective as site is mine, but I’ll try to reply as best as I can.
I’ve read interesting article recently about improvements in Google Search. Especially interesting was part about ability to provide image as search input. So I’ve did a small test, I’ve provided my avatar to Google and you can see results below.
As you can see results are not perfect (to say the least), but it’s interesting (and a little bit creepy) technology.
Everybody who is interested in Android world probably knows about it already, but I’ve decided to write about it as well. Android Market has big promotion going on right now. It’s 10 days of offers with Premium Apps for 90% less. In practice all apps are for 0.10 $ each:) And each day you have 10 new apps added! I’ve already bought SwiftKey X Keyboard and Read It Later Pro, and I believe it’s not the end of my shopping spree:)
Recently I’ve bought ezPDF Reader as I was pretty frustrated with the way Adobe Reader is navigating through PDFs. I’ve bought full version, because I’ve thought why not. It’s cool to add some notes from time to time and it’s not so much more expensive than Lite version.
There is one glitch however. When I’m opening PDF which was scanned (not created from real text) in Adobe Reader and zooming it, reader is trying (and usually succeeds) to smooth the text. When doing the same in ezPDF Reader text stays as is, so depending on magnification it could be completely unreadable. It’s big problem for me.

W ciągu ostatnich kilku dni czytałem wiele dobrego o księgarni internetowej Ebookpoint.pl. A to, że ebooki są bez DRM, że są dostępne w trzech formatach w jednej cenie (pdf, mobi, epub), że jest możliwa wysyłka bezpośrednio na Kindle, itd. Jako, że potrzebowałem książki o negocjacjach sprawdziłem ofertę i znalazłem Jednominutowy Negocjator. Cena w porządku, więc przystąpiłem do zakupu. Jako, że nie mieszkam w Polsce i nie mam polskiego konta, wybrałem opcje płatności kartą, która wydawała mi się najszybszą. Zamówienie złożyłem w czwartek (10 listopad) o 21:25, wtedy też dokonałem płatności kartą. Książka była gotowa do pobrania w piątek (11 listopad) o 9:45. Tyle zabrało przetworzenie płatności.
Few days ago I’ve received email from my hosting provider (where I have my VPS, used only as proxy) that they were informed by some company (let them be anonymous this time) about copyright infringement taking place on my server. At thirst I was confused, then I’ve became shocked. As I have no HTTP or FTP server on my VPS installed, I’ve thought that it got compromised. So I’ve checked logs, folders, but found nothing. I’m using only 700 MB from 25GB provided disk space, so it would be rather easy to spot a porn movie (this was content they were referring to) on the drive. Then I’ve checked Google and I’ve found info that some image hosting site was using my IP before me and it was them who were hosting this movie (or just a screenshots from it, email was not very descriptive).
