Imagine Saddam Hussein sitting in one of his palaces, tapping on his laptop, maybe shopping at Uranium Online.

Which actually exists, by the way. Tag line: "The nuclear fuel e-commerce solution."

All of a sudden, Saddam's computer explodes with e-mail. It's all spam, made in America... thousands of offers. Con­sol­i­date your debt. Earn money working at home. Enlarge your breasts.

It would be like Internet carpet bombing. He'd surrender within days.

I had expected to see more posts up here by dave while he's "back in the land of the sand...." but maybe there's good reason for no posts. Maybe the site's block over there, maybe he doesn't want to discuss anything that he's not supposed to... Maybe i shouldn't be writing either. Back "home" (not real home of New York, but home of where I'm living) everyone is on edge. Everyone at work is leaning so far forward I'm surprised that we are keeping our balance. I guess there is good reason. There've been too many tragedies in the world as …continue.

Once again, back in the lovely Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Can't say that I've missed it, but it is good to get out of the office now and again. For all those who've been wondering when I'd be arriving, etc, I'm here.

So far, it's not much different from when I was here last. Exercise, volleyball, email, eating, and start all over again. Groundhog day incarnate.

Well, more bulletins as they happen. ;)

I've just changed over from DNSCentral.com to Dotster. If you have problems getting here, then that is the reason.

Give it a few days, and everything will be kosher.

Well, another year almost done (whew!) and we survived the "dog and pony show" wedding.

Thank goodness.

Anyway, thanks to all who attended, and now we're going back into hi­ber­na­tion until I depart.

A whole lot going on in AK, lately. RL (Real Life) has been taking up more of our time than we'd like. However, the good news is that I've convinced Christy to post the Beef Wellington recipe that she used a few weeks ago... Yummy. ;]

There'll be more soon...

Hmmm... new spam idea coming down the pipe. Looks like 'Paul Graham' set off a firestorm of coding with his article A Plan for Spam.

A few alpha version proof of concept programs of note (standalone):

bogofilter

Spam Recog­ni­tion System

Also, there's one that is a plugin for Squir­rel­Mail:

BayesSpam - In­tel­li­gent Spam Filter

Can't wait to implement on my own server! This should make spam fighting so much easier.

Oh, and got gentoo working on my Mac. Heheheh. Now I can rule the world (again). And wait until the next millenium for Gnome to compile. Yawn.

Not to start a holy war... but OSX is slow, …continue.

Well, if you're wondering where the flurry of posting went... I've got a new toy: A PowerBook Titanium G4 500 Mhz w/ 1Gb of RAM! Now, I can rule the world... And become very confused with OS X.

Learning new things is fun... ;)

I'll throw some of the links database online this weekend, as soon as ACS has cleared out the network routing troubles that seem to be plaguing the Anchorage area.

Oh my god. I almost lost bladder control reading through this code. It probably won't get a lot of laughs unless you're a geek, but I am. So there. ;]

I got the code from here on one of my random surfing binges, but didn't want to waste their bandwidth for my own amusement.

Below is the code in its entirety.

I can't believe I haven't posted the Who's on Force video yet (local copy). Looks like some guy by the name of 'DARTH_­COR­LEONE' has made a spoof of Abbott and Costello's classic 'Who's on first?' sketch. He did a great job of synching the audio and video. Got this one from theforce.net's humor section.
