I know this is short notice but this site and the discussion forums will not be available on January 18th between 8AM and 8PM (GMT -5). We will be participating in the online protest to stop the Internet censorship bills, SOPA & PIPA. We’ll be joining some big name Internet sites such as Wikipedia, Reddit, Cheezburger Network, WordPress, Mozilla, Destructoid, Gog.com, Namecheap, Imgur, Electronic Frontier Foundation and thousands of blogs and web sites.

I apologize in advance for the inconvenience but we need to put a stop to this legislation.

Visit here for more information…

Cheers!

We’re IPv6 ready and accessible!

The server that hosts this site is now IPv6 ready and accessible.

I’m not sure how many users are potentially using IPv6, but I was doing some research regarding securing an IP v6 allocation from ARIN (American Registry of Internet Numbers) and decided to enable IPv6 on my own personal server.

I must admit the majority of the work was completed by our hosting provider Linode. I only had to make a few small CentOS Linux configuration changes and we were up and running.

Anyone else IPv6 ready on their public Internet facing servers?

Cheers!

I’m going to be rich!

I haven’t received one of these fraudulent email messages in quite a while so I thought I would share with everyone my good fortune. Anyone know what I should spend my new found fortune on first? Perhaps a Motorola Xoom or an Apple iPad2 or maybe a new PC?

ATTN:MCNAMARA,

I am a Trustee and Executor of the estate of a deceased client(Dr P. MCNAMARA) in Budapest, Hungary. I have sat on a 5 year forgotten financial inheritance. In few weeks time, this fund will be transferred to the state as required by law since there’s no claim made.  We can both collaborate and share the proceeds 60/40. Your part would be to receive the funds as the beneficiary , since you have the same last name as my late client, and I will prepare the required documents and have it released to you in just days. Please reply this mail stating full name, phone and fax number details if interested. So I can start
the claims process as we build a mutual trust.

Many thanks in advance as I look forward to our partnership and trust.

Regards,
Douglas Wild
