"Evil is real and it must be called by its name and it must be confronted" - Dick Cheney at Auschwitz

(Okay sorry, I'm done. New to this blog & felt horrified seeing the anniversary of MLK's assassination reduced to an opportunity to fuel the endless 'how 2 overselling???' debate on WHT, cheers).

Mega Profit Tip For The Savvy Low End Host: Aggregate every single WHT post on the timeless theme of Overselling, then use a POD service to publish a comedy book and resell it on WHT.

I believe this is a new record for most SBL listings, but not surprising given the jump in spam coming from Hotmail this year:

Top of Spamhaus recently have really been racking the numbers up...


Seems that we maybe have stirred the hornets nest and have perps on the move.  Entities like MS should get serious quick and might start caring more than they have about abuse.

I love my FitBit and that I can chart my steps and movement, but even though I'm proud of walking almost 16 miles in a 24 hour period I can see (non-sleeping) idle periods in which I could be moving. Going to shoot for 20mles in a 24 hour period in the future,


It's also nice to have a job where I'm not behind a desk and work (mostly) outside.

Does this device have any API / local / on your own PC ability?  Or is it all command and control on their remote servers?

There is an API and you can do fancy stuff with it.

Looks alright aside from 150 API per hour call limit... and that the API isn't for the device itself but rather to their website where they are siloing your data.

So on the one hand, competing for first place on SH; on the other, holding out till the end in The Great Kafkaesque Blacklister's Impunity Zone? Onward to Respectability!

Nice find - can't believe how easy it is to add a mirror from a well known open source tool without any crc check...

Only two more hours of work... fourteen hours down. -_-


Worked 12hrs yesterday, slept 5~, worked 16 today, sleep 800000000hrs after.


To make things worse I drove a van for 8 hours so was on my butt trying to stay awake, then sitting at a desk in an amazingly comfortable chair with the AC blowing right on me and trying to stay alert.


Good news is I don't work tomorrow so can catch up on sleep and some vpsB stuff.

another selling point is it has its own song too: http://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/Site/Song.html

and it works..

I wouldn't install it on anything connected to the Internet though because security might be a problem.  The last review I saw was about 5 years ago and I don't think there have been any updates since then so it's probably Kubuntu 10.x or 11.x
