Google makes tonns of money on advertising and Adwords is its main flagship. You buy visitors from keyword auctions, and it might be 2-3 times cheaper than Facebook. 

I did however face a huge problem in it.

So back in 2011 Estonia switched to euro. What would you as engineer or a project lead do if you had users with that kind of money transition? Well, a good company would not care - your money would be transferred automatically based on some fixed ratio (that Estonian bank has up to this day and as a law).

What did Google do? Well, they softly blocked all users from that country. So first they sent emails with notifications, so that everyone could spend money on their campaigns.. and then you would get a errors that you dont have money.

Well that expected, right? Yes, but now if you try to follow their links, you will get to 404 or billing configuration which is not editable. In addition billing view seems to load a different language than navigation.

So now that you have account with billing that is not editable what do you do? Right. Read FAQ and write to the support, and well.. I got email in the end in estonian, to quote it..

Kui konto on kinni pandud, siis seda enam kasutada ei saa. Selleks, et vana maili edasi kasutada, võid teha järgmist:
1. Lisa vanale EEKides AdWordsi kontole veel üks administraatorkasutaja. Selleks vali mail, mida sa edaspidi kasutada ei soovi, ja mis jääb vana AdWordsiga seotuks.
2. Kui sui nüüd vanas kontos 2 administraatorit on, saad selle kasutaja, kelle maili sa uues kontos tahad kasutada, vanast kontost ära kustutada.
3. Nüüd on vana mail vaba ning võis seda uues kontos kasutada

Veidi ebamugav see tõesti on, aga kahjuks on AdWordsi süsteem nii üles ehitatud. Tänu sellele on võimalik kord kustutatud konto uuesti taastada (mida meilt sageli palutakse).

Juhised administraatori lisamiseks/kustutamiseks leiad siit: http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1235276

So basically they suggest making a new google user, tie it to adwords then remove old email.. and re-register again. Sounds like a lifehack because some engineer was too lazy to make "Delete adwords account" button.

Ok, so now I invite myself with yandex email, register, confirm email, confirm adding admin permissions, try to login with yandex email to adwords and boom, I get locked for no apparent reason (saying that this email is used in another Adwords account, though I just registered!). So I'm furious, spamming the login button.. and boom, I broke it. Argh.

Shut up and take my money! So I try again and get in, fast, before more bugs show up... Oh noes, they are already here.. quick, remove my old account.. Yeaah!

To conclude - I got Adsense working again, but it took me several errors screens, a new email account, a lot of hassle and roughly 2 years until I finally got the patience to go through all of this just to be able to pay Google for their main service that makes money.

I realize that it was probably easier for them to just block users than to do the migration, and its not that often countries change currencies, and that they probably forgot about the system that still shows those errors to poor guys.. Yet I have a feeling this is a bad sign for investors that Google is more bureaucratic, like Microsoft which probably still has mixed systems showing design from the 90'es. 

This tuesday, Juri Timoshin talked about his practice with Jenkins and builds, showing mainly matrix plugin as most complex feature that Zeroturnaround uses for running builds on different environments.

But for a web-application in php, there is no reason to setup jenkins along with whole LAMP stack from ground up. Instead, I'd advice having a staging environment running all the time separately from jenkins itself. You can't do local file-based test in this case (like checking if mail was actually sent from the system, by re-routing postfix server to dump it into /tmp folder), but then you have centralized jenkins machine for all projects.

• Disk Usage 
  
• Compact Columns & Green Balls - just to have better layout
• Extra Columns  - to see test dynamics from dashboard 
• Jenkins Throttle - to avoid concurrent building of projects that share same resource (DB for example)
• JobConfigurationHistory - in case you forget how you managed a job before
• Doxygen - for better documentation of php projects, instead of old phpdocumentor
• Performance - for load testing and Jmeter
• Clover Plugin - for looking after unit test code coverage
• Violations - to see how code acquires technical debt. I think this one comes installed already with PMD

Since I develop my blog, naturally i get interested around formatting its contents.

Problem being explicit

Explicit content differs in a way that impacts readers psyche. If not changing his world views, then changing subjective opinion. Not every reader is ready for this, not everyone wants to see it. Thats why warnings, discretion, content notices are needed. 

Another problem is that rating should not depend on viewers age. Filtering if it exists, should be contextual, based on county legislation like COPPA. Ofcourse, if warnings are present, then automatic censorship by browser or search engines is possible. Editors should be ready for this, since this is totally voluntary.

Its clear that censorship of content is targeted for young audience, but "children" and "rate of violence" might greatly vary. You don't expect forbidding playing Mario games to everyone who is not yet 21 years old just because hero jumps on turtles, crushing them, still PETA may find that you do.

Existing standards

1. SafeSurf - dead

2. RTA - probably most used standard on modern adult-websites. It uses either header or as meta data on page.

3. ICRA - got old, used page context and used rather large table of ICRA and RSAC codes.

4. PICS - migrated into W3C POWDER. Last one is based on rdf, which means its hard to manage and understand

Thats it! Nothing real, no microformat for average webmaster. What we need is a level-based rating of any content on the web, like MPAA does for movies or ESRB and PEGI do for games.

New microformat / xrate 1.1

I see proper way to format this data very clearly - author just has to mark any html element with attribute, based on rating. HTML5 gives attribute data- in free use, so i suggest using namespace xrate with integer values (0-100) which represent danger to viewer (the higher - the bigger), which will also ease filtering. Note that its NOT VIEWER'S AGE. 

For simplicity, you can use general param, let say data-xrate="20", but its more semantically proper to choose its area:

Some techincal content warnings

Sex(xrate-sex)

Obviously sex and nudity are separate things. Naturally they mostly do follow each other, but paintings or chilling nude old dudes mostly don't carry as much erotic energy.

Romance. Kissing, wish	Erotica. Breasts, will	Porn. Genitals, action
0-30	30-70	70-100

Nudity(xrate-nude)

Dressed	Partially nude	Fully nude
0-30	30-70	70-100

Violence(xrate-violence)

Violence also differs

fantasy heroes	fighting, wounds	blood, dead bodies, grevious wounds
0-30	30-70	70-100

Antisocial behaviour (xrate-asocial)

What does scare most parents is not someone swearing, viewing erotic movies or violent games. Parents are afraid of spiritual fall of their kids which begins with misunderstanding and indifference. This attribute should fight against smoking, drinking, drugs, prostitution, so that it wouldn't be considered ok.

Obscene language (xrate-lang)

Language directly influences thinking. Obscene language cannot be limited with usual word filters, because its an emotion, which can take form of drawings or hand gestures.

Insulting faith (xrate-faith)

Quite a big issue in modern politics currently

Empathy (xrate-empathy)

Empathy is what makes humans a social kind

Disgust (xrate-disgust)

Analysis

Filtering html if these attributes were added is easy. For example if i have paragraph with data-xrate-asocial=30.. then i can easily find it with jquery, and based on user's preferences either hide, replace, increase opacity or add warning to it.

Styling is a bit more complex, since there is only comparison css selector. But you can use fixed values, like 30 and 70 - this way you have fixed diapasons:

Social rating

Obviously xrate- is subjective rating that author has decided upon. But if you have complex content and lots of viewers, then members can rate it themselves. Voting is like usual karma, except that you dont vote on agreeing/disagreeing with author, but on how dangerous content is.

Its a microformat. Its not complex enought to warn about scary part of the movie at some defined point, it also doesnt have any auditor or certificate of proof, and its not centralized - one user might think that bible has danger rating 10, another - that 100. Hope its enough.

Skyrim is already the fifth role playing game in epic TES series from Bethesda. For those who are not familiar withit, may I remind you that we are on a planet called Nirn with main continent Tamriel with lots of animals, races, languages; at a time, pretty much similar to the end of Roman empire and the beginning of early medieval ages. But first, a bit of cosmogony..

A little history

First, there was order (Anu) and chaos (Sithis), which gave birth to eight high spirits (aedra) and lots of low spirits (daedra). First of them (Akatosh) created time, while Lorkhan created this planet and binded himself to it through his heart as an active Red mountain vulcano in the Morrowind. That is how age of dawn ended and new time, consisting of three epochs began (that lasted 3 thousand, 900 and 430 years respectively). 

One of most important changes in this world history becomes the emergence of human empire with the capital in Cyrodiil at the end of second epoch by first imperor Tiber Septim, which later becomes worshipped equally as other aedra, with new name Talos - spirit of war and rule.

First two games (Arena and Daggerfall) were done in pseudo 3D with randomly generated content and are not worth much attention. First breakthrough was Morrowind, that stunning graphics, thought through world and innovative location loading in the background. In Morrowind main story ended up with main battle of hero with nemesis partially immortal Dagoth Ur, that kept living by gaining energy from vulcano's heart.

The plot of Oblivion takes place several years after Morrowind, at the end of third era, when cultists of Mythic Dawn kill the emperor and most of his heirs, opening gates to lower worlds. Protagonist fights with this cult and daedra-princes. As a result Mehrunes Dagon is banished by new incarnation of Akatosh and the gates of oblivion are closed.

Google, just like Twitter, allows developers to use OAuth 1.0 to authenticate and authorize data use for our application , providing defined data using API, and since Google is not as centralized as Facebook is, it has lots of independent services like Youtube and Picasa, meaning that each one has its own data structure. In general this authorization (keywords here - OpenID, AuthSub, Federated Login) and data access (JSON, XML, REST, Atom) are implemented as Google Data Protocol.

Lets use Zend Framework

2. Set up two modules from Zend Framework - Crypt and Oauth.

3. Create settings where we set URLs to auth services
