No Deep Packet Inspection
My second political entry in a row, oh my god!

Please leave your country
Funny, yesterday Tom and me were talking about the impossibility of creating a webpage that doesn't log a thing, thus being the only page on the internet that doesn't invade your privacy.

movStream.com
I have finished a new project of RandomBase, movStream.com. This cute little search engine can find direct music links, streaming tv shows and movies. I hope to add eBooks and maybe even torrents soon, but am already quite satisfied with the way it works now.

Why I think AJAX is awesome
Yes, it's awesome, but only in the hands of a qualified coder.
AJAX (asynchronous Javascript and XML) is a technology that allows the client (browser) to fetch a webpage or file without having to reload the page. That's it, it's that simple (my IT teacher will kill me though for that ...
