IMPORTANT..

If you have a webpage hosted somewhere on feedle.net, please call me ASAP. Dreamhost (one of the companies I use for hosting) has had a database compromise, and they have reset all user logins to new passwords. Note this does not effect the listserver.

We created SOPA/PIPA, citizens of the Internet.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say something that I’m sure is likely to be an unpopular opinion amongst people I know. We have nobody to blame but ourselves for SOPA/PIPA. For years I’ve watched as the Internet has been a hotbed of blatant copyright infringement.  I’m not innocent myself in [...]

I don’t have enough money to pay my hosting bill.. and it’s a few months behind.  If anybody can help, I’d appreciate it. EDIT: Thanks to everyone who helped, the bill is now MORE THAN PAID…

Status update…

For those who have asked.. no, I’m not doing very well right now. The past week I’ve been in a lot of dental pain, and been having some money trouble on top of that (mostly caused by lack of planning on my part and emergency dentistry). So, I’m not doing very well, no.

Oh, and I got home last night around 8:00pm. This completes my 2011 Road Trip. I’ll probably post a summary of things I didn’t get around to commenting on in a bit.

End of an era…

So, I had an interesting experience coming home today. As I’m walking along the Oregon City Promenade, I notice immediately that the usual sounds of the paper factory just south of downtown… with its constant huffing and puffing and whirring and clanking, was silent. It was an eerie sensation, as I stood there on the [...]

Steampunk stuff…

Got this crazy idea. Does anybody know where one can get a badge like this made?  I assume anybody with marginal metalworking skills and a letter stamp could do it.. but that person would not be me.

Help needed…

First, the good news. I got a really lucrative contract that’s going to probably take care of my expenses for at least the next six months once I complete it. The bad news: I needed money like two weeks ago. So, in short, I’m short. I have the rent paid, but that’s about it. I [...]

Firesheep is scary.

And it works on a lot of things, including (most likely) your WordPress installations. This was posted using a hijacked session, for example. That does it, I’m using the damn VPN from now on.
