I rechecked. It's actually 'fastclick' but there is a Uk ad service called doubleclick... fortunately I'm only blocking an entire URL with no wildcard, so I can see the piccy!NoSleep wrote:'doubleclick' is the name of one of the main offenders, but the name can crop up anywhere in the URL at times. I take it that link above is bogus, BTW?

Damn, you're right!! I blocked http://* and *www* and ended up, with what looked like, annoying HTML emails... not nearly annoying enough to justify me doctoring a mate's web browser!NoSleep wrote:Seems it would probably just clear all the icons/banners from a page, rendering down to HTML only.... I'll give it a spin...
In case anyone is interested, I took my blocking list from this website which seems quite interesting: http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/index.php

Last time I had religious zealots at my front door I tried to convert them to Buddhism. I thought I was doing pretty well at it too, until one of them suddenly remembered she had a dentists appointment to have all her teeth removed. (seemed like she was looking forward to it to, she was sooo eager to leave).
Strangely I've never been bothered since.
So my advice is to try to convert all missionaries to YOUR religion. And try to sell your carpet fluff or vacuum bag fillings to telephone sales people.
Works for me.

Bloody hell. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the smallness of this particular world.jonnycuba wrote:p.s. would you be scared to know I'm Peter Ceresole's son in law?
If you're the one who recently got married then I know what you look like, too.
I'm looking forward to meeting Peter on Friday.

you fellas know such stuff, and I'm very frustrated.
all my web browsers, have suddenly failed to receive quicktime. safari never had this problem before, but now it (loads the full file bulk but) only shows the broken plug-in icon.
firefox does no better, mozilla (impressively fast as it is) is the same. it's as if quicktime fails to register itself as an available plug-in, the way you used to be able to control in the old browsers..
anybody recognize themselves in this grief? anyone solved it?

All I can tell you is that, only a couple of days ago, I went to a site with audio content and all the links seemed to have something wrong with them. A brief snatch of each soundfile was all I could hear.
There's does seem to be issues with Quicktime itself at the moment...

Curiously enough, I have been using VLC to play mpegs recently, but had one file playing up on me, so tried QT, and it played fine.
