No, not a political essay, actually an interesting surge of visitors from other countries, mainly European. This interests me because I’ve also seen a surge of spam comments, about 300+ a week. Now, I can’t really trace any of said spam comments back to those IPs, nor am I speculating that Europeans are the cause of spam. I’d be very interested to learn I have an international reader base, so feel free to comment to that regard if its true.
I’ll start by saying i had an awesome Thanksgiving break. I had been hoping to find something about it to post about (mainly because the drive is 10-12 hours to where I went, and I had tons of time to think) and… wow… got all I hoped for and more. To summarize: Food (Grandma cooking), no computers (relaxation), meeting new relatives (interesting), and getting to know my inner child (just plain fun). Also some other junk I’ll throw in. No, this isn’t an emo post about my life either, there were some interesting things that arose.
Well, in case you can’t guess from the title, it’s been exactly a year since I started this blog. To be more specific, it was November 20th of last year that I registered the domain. This post also (totally not planned, I swear) happens to be my 100th. Again, to be more specific it’s my 100th page… pages include things such as my warhammer picture pages and the others you find under “Pages” on the right. So, this’ll be a fun past, five days in the making, about all kinds of things dealing with the past year. ((Published a second time, I apologize))
So… I’ve spent a hellish week working on a paper, among other projects. Left my room once this past weekend, had a few 5-6 hour stints working on the paper. The other projects are Abysmal programming Languages stuff… brutal So like any good CS student, this led me to drinking… Mountain Dew, of course.
This is an open call to help me defeat the power of terrorism! Ok, not really, just wanted to get your attention.
Its been a long 7 days. This time last week a security researcher was being raided by the FBI for pointing out a flaw in the airline system I’ve been pointing out for a long time now. The difference? He did it in a way the government couldn’t ignore.
