Back from the dead with this AMAZING save in MotoGP 250.

Let the video speak for itself:

ASCII Star Wars!

Ok, so this is as geeky as it gets. Seriously.  How could anything be more geeky than…

ASCII Star Wars!

If you haven’t already seen it (it’s been around a while): the original Star Wars ASCII animation can also be accessed from telnet by telnetting to towel.blinkenlights.nl.

Use the following in your terminal: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Silly, but pretty amazing.  People seem to have a lot of time on their hands…

Damn Russkies!

What a week for Internet friend-making! Many of my reader might know that I operate a VoIP services company, thought I seldom post about it here, seeing this as one place to be from work contamination.  But this ties in…

So one morning, I’m sipping my coffee… in my slippers… it’s another quiet morning.  Let’s check email… let’s check… wait.  What is this?  You have 120 new messages, all from your own voicemail system.  Hmm yep they sure look like valid voicemails… let’s listen to one!

“my name is **** and I DO NOT appreciate getting called at 5 O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING about an ACCOUNT!  now I need someone to call me back, or I am reporting this company to the F.B.I.!”

Whoa!  In sum total, I listened to six of these, realizing something was amiss.  Long-story short.  1) I stupidly left a “test extension” open to the public with the password ‘1234′, and some Dutch bastards found it… placing almost 800 calls on my dime, with my identity.  And I’m a phone company.  Makin’ friends, Ray.

Then, today, I visit my old Wiki Page , and discover PORN LINKS dumped all over it.  And they had been accumulating for MONTHS.

So I spent tonite scouring my Wiki DB of porn links via quite some manual effort, and thinking very hard about why people can’t just leave stuff alone!  OK so it’s a Wiki, and peeps could register and blow it up.  My fault.  Their door is now closed, but my faith in mankind is yet again diminished.  My old wiki page is now fine, save it’s templates, but my sense of global brotherhood may never be the same.

Side-bets at my son’s Bowling Birthday Party!

I have obtained some recent spy-cam stills from an unnamed source. A secret transaction was made which went unnoticed by most, but for a few among the observant.  Apparently some side bets were placed, and we feel compelled to publish the results.
