Rant – S-Config

Maybe you shouldn’t think with Google.

December 3, 2020July 8, 2017 by S-Config

Thinking with Google isn't thinking at all!

There have been these ads for Google that have been popping up on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook all coming from the same site known simply as "thinkingwithgoogle.com." These people are marketers who think that they are as awesome as the TV show like Mad Men where they feel that they are Gods of changing human thought. All the while placing their parent company Google as being the know-all of the internet while discrediting the people that helped make them as powerful as who they are. This entry is to show you that sometimes not all marketing and publicity can be good.

Spam dissection – Episode 002

May 22, 2021March 10, 2017 by S-Config

Welcome to Spam and SEO dissection episode 2!

Welcome once again to Spam dissection episode #2. Where we deal with scammer and spammers. All of them going out of their way to get their website promoted in all of the wrong ways instead of legitimately coming at a blogger like a reasonable human being. From scammers to spammers this is the section of our site where we let them have a voice and answer their questions without giving them the credit they think they deserve by embedding links to their websites.

Disclaimer:

We just want to say that every real message we get on our contact forums and in no way would we openly mock messages in the public light. Many of the e-mails I will be presenting to you are blatant spam and chances are many other sites have received the same message. If you are a spammer which is somehow easily offended (does that even exist?) then you may want to stop reading right now. This article is a rant/vent article and should not be taken seriously. Read the FAQ if this is your first time on this site and you have further questions about the function of this site.

YouTube – Round 2 – Censorship fight!

June 8, 2023October 2, 2016 by S-Config

Oh man, we can't just leave YouTube alone!

I have already published an article a while back about how YouTube's practices are terrible in terms of content creators with the classical slogan of "Where's the fair use?" Now for those who care you can check out that article before this one. But normally a company that does something inherently flawed and against its content creator base would attempt to fix the problem they started. At least I thought that was happening due to the last copyright claim that we fought (and won) on YouTube. But YouTube has decided instead of cooling down the situation that instead they're going to add some gasoline to the mix!

Read on if you wish to read our diatribes of text.

Where’s the fair use Youtube?

November 9, 2023February 19, 2016 by S-Config

Let us go into further detail as to why we "walked away" from YouTube.

YouTube at the time of this posting is the number 1 video service that the entire internet goes to for all of its user-created content media needs. There was a time when even we used it. We now host almost all of our video blogs locally. This decision was mostly for a different problem dealing with links dying/moving around. But lately, another problem has come up dealing with a tactic known as "Content Citation." YouTube even hit us over a demonstration video we wanted to show to people who responded to this blog. That one of my hacks indeed does work.

Website – Online year round.

Your website is important boys and girls.

It's time to sit down and have a conversation about websites. Although hardly qualified to talk about such matters there seems to be a running problem that I have seen when surfing the net over and over again. Which simply put, no one really puts forth the time/effort into their website. We are guilty of this as well at s-config.com so to those who think I'm being hypocritical:

Yeah, you're totally right.

Spam dissection – Episode 001

May 22, 2021October 25, 2015 by S-Config

Welcome to Spam and SEO dissection episode 1!

Welcome one and all to the first episode of spam dissection where YOU yes the lucky reader get to read some of the everyday crap that comes into both my contact forms box as well as the replies on some of my more popular threads. These spammers and "SEO Geniuses" are desperately trying to use my website as a means of pimping things like Russian brides, drugs, knock-off Chinese clothing and other things you normally find on the dark-net. Anyone who has ever had a mailto: link. Or on the receiving end of a contact form is more than familiar as to what is coming next. Now replies with just web-links will be discarded as there is nothing much to really say about it.

Disclaimer:

Enter when ready.

Welcome to Hyper Aggression!

October 31, 2019July 8, 2015 by S-Config

Aggression stream go!

Lately, I've been getting some e-mails and some comments that the best way to put it would be categorized as pure aggression. That everything that you read/hear/think has to be placed into this blurry red haze of anger where you can no longer control your hands as they smash keyboards, LCD screens, your grandma, clones of your grandma until you are drowning in a pool of your grandmas blood screaming your last breath for more. Blacking out into a coma only to wake from a cold sweat to repeat this vicious cycle once more! Read on to see more rant-level action.

The things seen on Web2.0

November 1, 2019March 28, 2015 by S-Config

Just random things I have to say about the web.

These are the rants of a person that has seen way too much! It is highly unlikely anyone will read but it's better than cramming all of your thoughts into 140 characters.

Of Gods and Men.

November 2, 2019January 4, 2013 by S-Config

Gods are we.

ATA
CONNECT 1200

Okay, with a rather epic subject title of "Gods" like that I'd have to pretty much justify why I'm thinking of stuff like that at 3 am. fingers half-frozen and listening to dubstep.fm which right now is more like chillstep then anything. No wub at all reminds me of listening to the band XXYYXX (I'll insert into the title of this rant) . But I'll save that for another rant.

Saftey First! – It’s all for the lulz

November 2, 2019October 6, 2012 by S-Config

Saftey First?

(BLAHBLAH COMPANY) needs your help! We're holding a friendly contest to see if someone out there can come up with a great safety-related slogan that we can use to help drive us towards a company culture that promotes Saftey First!

I think every company eventually does this where they hold a raffle for something that really should be paid for by a professional. A lot like how a city flag is built it's something that really should be left to designers.
