Tempo Tags is one such example. It is for people who don&#8217;t really like to wear a wrist watch, and well, who don&#8217;t even have a mobile phone. But even if you don&#8217;t fit in this criteria, you could actually find a use for it, <em>could</em>â€¦</p><p>Tempo Tags are small chip sized clocks with a clip that you can tag onto your clothes, baggage or just keep in a pocket.

A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client&#8217;s request or the server&#8217;s response, and sometimes it may serve the request without contacting the specified server.</p></blockquote><p>The proxy server I was running on my local machine was a local proxy to debug request and responses to external sites. Nevertheless I tried another proxy server online called <a href="http://www.kproxy.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">kproxy</a> which&nbsp;again got the same error.</p><p>Does this mean that Yahoo hosted sites do not work behind a proxy has any one seen the same issue for Yahoo hosted sites? If you do please let me know through your comments.</p> <img src="http://cache.techie-buzz.com/1328896186u5wy69tngr51smry2xjscumbag1328896186tgld5kxk00m895l40fyx1328896186.ahole" class="scumbags" /><div style="font-size:12px"> <strong>Share:</strong> <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/yahoo-wordpress-blogs-dont-work-behind-proxy-servers.html#commentrespond" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Comment on This Post</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/home?source=techiebuzz&status=Yahoo WordPress Blogs don&#8217;t work behind proxy servers http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F30bGwV via @techiebuzzer" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Tweet This</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/yahoo-wordpress-blogs-dont-work-behind-proxy-servers.html" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Share on Facebook</a> | <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/yahoo-wordpress-blogs-dont-work-behind-proxy-servers.html&title=Yahoo WordPress Blogs don&#8217;t work behind proxy servers" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Save to Delicious</a> | <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/yahoo-wordpress-blogs-dont-work-behind-proxy-servers.html" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Stumble This</a> | <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/yahoo-wordpress-blogs-dont-work-behind-proxy-servers.html&title=Yahoo WordPress Blogs don&#8217;t work behind proxy servers" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Digg This</a> | <a href="http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/yahoo-wordpress-blogs-dont-work-behind-proxy-servers.html&title=Yahoo WordPress Blogs don&#8217;t work behind proxy servers" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Reddit This</a></div> <br /><div><strong style="font-size:11px;">TAGS:</strong> <span style="text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;"><a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tag/weird-stuff" rel="tag">Weird Stuff</a></span><br/> </small></div><div style="background:#E1E1E1; border: dotted 1px; padding:5px; margin-top:5px;font-size:11px"> <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/yahoo-wordpress-blogs-dont-work-behind-proxy-servers.html" title="Yahoo WordPress Blogs don&#8217;t work behind proxy servers">Yahoo WordPress Blogs don&#8217;t work behind proxy servers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://techie-buzz.com" title="Techie Buzz">Techie Buzz</a> written by Keith Dsouza on Sunday 12th August 2007 02:46:43 PM under <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/category/tips-and-tricks" title="View all posts in Tips And Tricks" rel="category tag">Tips And Tricks</a>.

Check the picture below from the Sony pary to promote their game God of War [via <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/bacchus-would-be-proud/sony-goes-nuts-at-european-god-of-war-ii-release-party-256226.php" title="Sony party pictures">gizmodo</a>].</p><p><img src="http://cache.techie-buzz.com/images/stories/sonyparty.jpg" title="Sony Party for God of war - vai gizmodo" alt="Sony Party for God of war - vai gizmodo" border="0" height="448" width="468" /></p><p>The worst part about it is that they have topless ladies, and have decapitated a goat and put it on display. Some quotes from Gizmodo:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Sony really knows how to party. It wasn&#8217;t enough to have topless ladies at the God Of War<em> II</em> European unveiling, they had to go and decapitate a goat and put it on display. Not only that, they invited visitors to stick their hands down the neck, grab out some intestines (not the goat&#8217;s own, they were procured elsewhere and shoved inside), and eat them. Fantastic.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Well I love playing games but this is the worst I have ever seen, hope that game publishers realize that they are not only let people enjoy with their games but such a stupid action is uncalled for.</p><p>Via: [<a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/bacchus-would-be-proud/sony-goes-nuts-at-european-god-of-war-ii-release-party-256226.php" title="Bacchus Would Be Proud: Sony Goes Nuts at European God of War II Release Party">Gizmodo</a>]</p> <img src="http://cache.techie-buzz.com/1328896187fnz6fnriq5eccwln8bnscumbag1328896187jcp3r0m67n5y76ku8281328896187." class="scumbags" /><div style="font-size:12px"> <strong>Share:</strong> <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/how-bad-can-games-get-courtesy-sony.html#commentrespond" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Comment on This Post</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/home?source=techiebuzz&status=How bad can games get courtesy Sony http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FP5CXx via @techiebuzzer" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Tweet This</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/how-bad-can-games-get-courtesy-sony.html" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Share on Facebook</a> | <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/how-bad-can-games-get-courtesy-sony.html&title=How bad can games get courtesy Sony" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Save to Delicious</a> | <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/how-bad-can-games-get-courtesy-sony.html" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Stumble This</a> | <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/how-bad-can-games-get-courtesy-sony.html&title=How bad can games get courtesy Sony" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Digg This</a> | <a href="http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/how-bad-can-games-get-courtesy-sony.html&title=How bad can games get courtesy Sony" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Reddit This</a></div> <br /><div><strong style="font-size:11px;">TAGS:</strong> <span style="text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;"><a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tag/annoyances" rel="tag">Annoyances</a>, <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tag/technology-buzz" rel="tag">Technology Buzz</a>, <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tag/weird-stuff" rel="tag">Weird Stuff</a></span><br/> </small></div><div style="background:#E1E1E1; border: dotted 1px; padding:5px; margin-top:5px;font-size:11px"> <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/how-bad-can-games-get-courtesy-sony.html" title="How bad can games get courtesy Sony">How bad can games get courtesy Sony</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://techie-buzz.com" title="Techie Buzz">Techie Buzz</a> written by Keith Dsouza on Tuesday 1st May 2007 07:30:28 PM under <a href="http://techie-buzz.com/category/tech-news" title="View all posts in Tech News" rel="category tag">Tech News</a>.
