You may have seen this headline recently: Firefox blocks Flash, and Facebook calls for its death Firefox has been blocking outdated versions of Flash for quite some time now. This isn’t news; it’s click-bait. You can update the version of Flash that you do have by visiting https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ You also can test/check to see what […]

A long password is, generally, more secure than a complicated one. According to GRC’s Search Space Calculator… “%n7yP!zza” can be cracked in under 2 hours. “ilikepeasandcarrots” takes around 2.53 thousand centuries. Include spaces, and it leaps to 7.66 hundred million trillion centuries. I know this is a gross oversimplification of factors that can influence a […]
A CAPTCHA is that obfuscated or skewed image that a website asks you to type to attempt to verify that you’re a human. CAPTCHA actually stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. Since many programs hackers use are quite simple, they get a little stumped because they can’t interpret […]
This month has brought record number of hacking attempts on the websites we manage (over 7000). This is not terribly unusual in the wild-wild-west world of the world-wide-web, but we really beefed up our anti-hacking efforts this month. We want you to know that we work hard behind-the-scenes to keep your website up and running […]
Another update to WordPress, the content management system that we use heavily, was released in December (version 4.1). I installed it on all of the websites we manage just before the New Year rolled over. In addition to the WP update, we had some other excitement last month. On the 9th, some of the DNS […]
I had a funny interaction at the grocery store this morning. “Eight ounces of sliced turkey breast, please,” I requested of the employee behind the deli counter. “We can’t do ounces. Would a half-pound be okay instead?” “Um… yes, that should be fine.” I figured: eight ounces or a half-pound; it’s all the same to […]
While not as crazygonuts as September, October was still a pretty fun month. A few of our sites were hit with hacking attempts and spambots, but that’s not too unusual. Much of this past month was actually spent practicing for a play at our local theater. It’s a 2-person cast, so there was a good […]
A significant update to the content management system that our website uses, WordPress, was released this past month. WordPress powers about 13 million other websites and continues to be the world’s most popular content management system. While development on the next version is already underway, we went ahead and upgraded our website (and all of […]
Every new computer I’ve ever purchased has arrived loaded with tons of junk software. I recently upgraded to a smartphone and noticed the same thing was true: tons of junk applications that I didn’t want or need. Getting rid of them all was not easy. I went with CyanogenMod, an open source operating system for […]
In May, Frutke became the first business in our county to accept Bitcoin. We made the local paper too (here’s the article). Yesterday, I learned that Dell and Wikipedia both now accept Bitcoin also (see Wikipedia Now Accepts Bitcoin Donations With Coinbase). It feels really good to be “ahead of the curve”. The second article […]
If you happen to receive any letters, phone calls or emails from “Domain Registry of America” warning you that your domain name is about to expire, you may safely ignore them. The best thing to do is toss the letter, report the telemarketing call to the FCC (at https://donotcall.gov/ ) or delete the email. We see […]

I loved the headline this article featured: Windows XP dies at 12 1/2 after long illness A month and a half ago, Microsoft officially retired Windows XP. No further updates, security patches or fixes are being released, making those old computers wonderful targets for viruses and spyware. If you’re stuck with an old computer and […]
No doubt, you’ve seen a bit of media buzz surrounding the Heartbleed bug. As usual, xkcd explains it extremely well. It impacts nearly every website you use where you have a login (like Gmail, Facebook, your bank, Healthcare.gov, etc.). If you’re not already using a password manager, please consider KeePass or LastPass. We’ve been using […]

Thanks! Hopefully, that’ll make life a little easier for us all. We’ll still generate Invoices for you, but they’ll be marked as Paid once we receive your payment via PayPal. If you decide that PayPal’s subscription service isn’t as much fun as you’d hoped and want to unsubscribe, that won’t be a problem.
PayPal‘s subscription service not your thing? No problem. Please note that this handy-dandy button does not close or cancel your Contract with Frutke. To do that, please Contact Us. This button is just for use with our subscription service through PayPal (which makes paying your Invoices from us a little simpler).
