Cool4Sms Firefox Extension not working

Λόγω αλλαγής του website της υπηρεσίας cool4u, με την οποία δεν είναι συμβατή η έκδοση 1 του cool4sms firefox extension, δεν λειτουργεί η αποστολή sms μέσω του extension. Ελπίζω να φτιάξω σύντομα κάποια νεώτερη έκδοση.

Day after tomorrow

[...]
They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
'bout what it means to be a soldier
I still do`nt know how I`m supposed to feel
'bout all the blood that`s been spilled
Will God on this throne
get me back home
on the day after tomorrow

You can`t deny, the other side
don`t wanna die anymore than we do
what i `m trying to say is don`t they pray
to the same God that we do?

and tell me how does god choose
whose prayers does he refuse?
who turns the wheel
who throws the dice
on the day after tomorrow

I`m not fighting for justice
I`m not fighting for freedom
I`m fighting, for my life
and another day in the world here

I just do what I`ve been told
We` re just the gravel on the road
and only the lucky ones come home
on the day after tomorrow

and the summer, it too will fade
and with it brings the winter`s frost dear
and i know we too are made
of all the things that we have lost here

I`ll be 21 today
I been saving all my pay
and my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow

Day After Tomorrow:
- TW (2004): "The government looks at these 18-year-old kids as shell casings, you know, like we're getting low on ammo, send in some more. We're neck deep in the big muddy and the big chief is telling us to push on and offer up our children. I sure wouldn't want to let my boys go." (Source: "Bard Of The Bizarre". Telegraph Magazine (UK). By Richard Grant)

- TW (2004): "If you write tunes or whatever. I guess that's all you really can do is put a human face on the war. These are MY feelings. You know I just tried to imagine a soldier writing home from ANYWHERE. This is your war you have lost, both sides have lost." (Source: "BBC Interview With Tom Waits." BBC Radio 4 (UK). October 4, 2004. By Mark Coles)

- TW (2004): Tom Waits pauses briefly to consider whether "Day After Tomorrow," which takes the form of a letter home from a soldier at the front, should be interpreted as anti-war in general, or anti-Bush in particular. In the end, he decides, it all comes to the same thing. "Bush calls himself a wartime president, so if you're anti-war you're anti-Bush and if you're anti-Bush you're anti-war," reasons Waits, during a recent phone interview. "I don't know whether he came in knowing he was a wartime president and said, `Well you know what, the only thing missing here is a war.' He's like a doctor who breaks your leg. And then comes in and fixes it for you." (Source: "Songs Of Decay From Waits." Toronto Star (Canada). October 5, 2004. By Vit Wagner)

- TW (2005): "Yeah just a soldier writing home to his family. Tried to make it so it's not really about necessarily this war that we're in now, the Iraq war, but in fact about any war really. Because I guess the letters home are probably the same. I think most of the soldiers are really like the gravel on the road. NS: What do you mean by that? TW: Well the gravel on the road that the others are driving on, you know? Spent shell casings." (Source: "Cool Ivories", American Routes radio show, by Nick Spitzer. February 16-22, 2002)

Cool4sms Firefox Εxtension



18/December 2006: Λόγω αλλαγής του website της υπηρεσίας cool4u, με την οποία δεν είναι συμβατή η έκδοση 1 του cool4sms firefox extension, δεν λειτουργεί η αποστολή sms μέσω του extension. Ελπίζω να φτιάξω σύντομα κάποια νεώτερη έκδοση.

Για όσους έχουν συνδρομή με την otenet, μπορούν να ενεργοποιήσουν την υπηρεσία cool4u (http://cool4u.otenet.gr/gr/) η οποία επιτρέπει την αποστολή 20 sms ημερησίως (250 το μήνα) ~ δωρεάν. Αυτό το extension επιτρέπει την αυτοματοποίηση της διαδικασίας, προσφέροντας διαχείριση contacts, αποθήκευση account information (στον firefox), αποστολή sms, save/load sms etc.



v 1.0 - (for Windows* & Linux**)
install from here or (offline: see above)
alternately,
install from host.sk

** on Linux tested on Firefox 2.0 (get suse)
* on Windows tested on Firefox 1.5 - 2.0 (but should work with previous versions)

Σημ: Προς το παρόν δεν υπάρχει μηχανισμός ελέγχου του αριθμού των sms που επιτρέπονται.


Για bugs κτλ, καντε comment σ` αυτή τη σελίδα.

Ipokrisia

"Sir Bob Geldof, in contrast, praised the work of the Gates foundation and hailed Gates as the world's most important philanthropist. " - source

"Rolling stones play for Bill Clinton" - source

"U2 party with Clinton" - source

So much hypocrisy you can`t even be ironic. The "greatest" philanthropist one that has so much money that his grand-grand-grand children won`t be able to spend. Greatest than the one who can afford two meals and shares one, even though the last is a case of self-sacrificing. On the rest, no comment is necessary.

Και πόσο αρμόζουν οι στίχοι του Τζιμάκου:

Με ένα ρεφραίν
κάνω το χρέος του κι εγώ
τραγουδώ
για αυτούς που πεινάνε

Υπάρχουνε παιδάκια
που δεν έχουνε φαί
ούτε πικάπ
ν' ακούνε μουσική

Δεν θέλω λεφτά
never
τραγουδάω δωρεάν
για μισό κιλό κοκαΐνη

Στείλτε αποφάγια,
ξεροκόμματα μπιζού
είναι το AIDS της Αφρικής
οργή Θεού

Όλοι μαζί με μια κιθάρα
Πλούσιοι φτωχοί, κουτσοί στραβοί σε μια παπάρα
Αμερικανάκια, προβατάκια COMSOMOL
φιλανθρωπία με ναρκωτικά και ροκ εντ ρολ

Να γίνει το ροκ
immediately
σαν τον Ερυθρό Σταυρό
τα φρικιά, αδελφές νοσοκόμες

Απ' την Αγιά Βαρβάρα
here
μέχρι το Κονέκτικατ
Ο Μάικλ Τζάκσον, ο Χατζής, ο Αραφάτ

Κι αν είμαι ροκ μη με φοβάσαι
προσαρμόζομαι να με λυπάσαι
νηστικό αρκούδι δεν χορεύει, δεν μπορεί
πρέπει να φάει για ν' αγοράσει μουσική

Why Another War?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

If someone is wondering, why another war, before the previous comes to an end, then someone should consider this prophetic text:

"In becoming continuous, war has ceased to exist. The continuity of the war guarantees the permanence of the current order. In other words, "War is Peace"
-George Orwell, 1984

(You can find more on 1984 here)

Rearrangement

There has been a small rearrangement. I am now publishing the blog directly to blogspot, so you can access the website directly from http://mokitieus.blogspot.com/. The only difference is that while browsing the [ Main / Blog ] section, the main menu will be located at your right, instead of the top of the window.

What Keeps Mankind Alive?



Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that’s where it begins

You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn, for once, the way the world is run
However much you twist or whatever lies that you tell
Food is the first thing, morals follow on

So first make sure that those who are now starving
Get proper helpings when we all start carving
What keeps mankind alive?

What keeps mankind alive?
The fact that millions are daily tortured
Stifled, punished, silenced and oppressed
Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
In keeping its humanity repressed

And for once you must try not to shriek the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

What Keeps Mankind Alive?
(Weill/Brecht)

(Woyzeck`s) Woe

"The ribbon round your neck
against your skin it`s pale as bone
It is my favorite thing you`ve worn
The band is playing our song
And we won`t go home, `til morn"

Tom Waits ~ Blood Money

Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan-Waits

Tigre e la neve, La




This is a beautiful film by Roberto Benigni with
the appearance of Tom Waits (as himself). The
official website is (un) fortunately only in
french and it can be found
here. Also the imdb entry.
