Preventing Copy/Paste in HTML forms
It’s not a very common request that someone asks for a input box to not allow copy/paste functionality, but it happens every now and then!
Below is the jQuery code I found that did the job for me, I hope it helps you…
$(‘#inputField’).bind(“cut copy paste”,function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
Technology: the knack of so arranging the world that we need not experience it.
Christmas - a time to turn off and unwind
I’ll not lie, this year has been pretty stressful with one thing and another, and the chance to completely turn off from work is a rare one for me. It feels like I’m at work 24/7 with our clever smart phones. A client can always call at any time on your mobile and your email is haunting you wherever you go. Holidays are also rarely work free.
I read about VW in the news recently which told about how they’ll not be delivering emails to work smart phones outside of office hours. Finally a good move to start removing work from home life.
So this Christmas I won’t be checking email, I won’t be taking work related calls, I will be unwinding and enjoying my time off!
Merry Christmas!
If you try to game Google, will it bite back?
I’ve been keeping an eye on a website recently which suffered a severe penalty from Google. But the mystery was, what did they do wrong?
In this industry everyone is building links as much as possible, they all do it and they all do it artificially to a certain extent, so why was only one picked on?
Could it be because they were offering Google Plus votes as a paid service? Or maybe they’d been using their own Google Plus votes service a bit too much to promote their site…
There are lots of services offering Google Plus votes at the moment, but for me this seems far too risky as Google can see exactly what is going on and there’s bound to be a footprint. My suggestion is if you’re going to buy social votes, don’t buy Google’s and only use it to get your website moving so you can start to obtain real votes!
Even better, run a campaign to incentivise real visitors to vote. How about giving away an iPod or something. Perfectly fair and will give 100% natural votes for a similar price.
I’m easy, it’s all beer to me.
Bonjourno!
Well, I tried to set-up a nice WordPress blog, but could never find a nice theme until I stumbled upon a Tumblr style theme which I quite liked. So thought to myself, well why don’t I actually run it off Tumblr!!?
So my personal blog is now on Tumblr, lets see if I keep it updated. I will not be picky, I’m just going to dump my random thoughts etc here and hopefully someone will find it interesting or useful.
For now, cya laterz.
