    Hotlinkers: Busted! No More Bandwdth Theft For You!

    January 8, 2006 - By 

    Bandwidth thievery is pretty rampant. I only noticed recently that up to 69% of my bandwidth is being taken by leeches who’ve hotlinked to images here (moblog pictures, stuff I found elsewhere and uploaded to my server, and so on) and used them on their little free blogs. Well, the remedy for this is some .htaccess magic. David’s taking care of that. What really ticked me off was one girl took this image and turned it into her page’s background. Which, of course, is very lame on so many levels. And also, the image looked like CRAP because it was…

    “They keep sending them in…”

    January 8, 2006 - By 

    Friday was a big TV-watching night here; Stargate and Atlantis both premiered the second halves of their seasons, and there was a new Numb3rs episode, a network show that we got into this year. David and I keep chuckling about a scene in Atlantis where Sheppard and and an attractive woman he’s imprisoned with discuss one of Sheppard’s greatest fears. Neera: And the clowns? Sheppard: Oh yeah, the clowns. We fight them too. Entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens. We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending them in. — Quotes Season 2 Actually, I kept…

    Pat Robertson Chastized Severely

    January 6, 2006 - By 

    You know, Pat Robertson must have lost his marbles long ago, but for some reason, he still wields political influence. Won’t it be interesting when his million viewers finally realize they’ve been listening to the ravings of a crazy old man? Even the White House is backing away from him now: BBC NEWS | Americas | US attacks TV host on Sharon slur I love this last bit from the Beeb: Not for the first time in recent months, elements on the Republican Party’s religious wing are causing it embarrassment.

    Cough It Up, Harry Reid

    January 5, 2006 - By 

    Denny Hastert (R-IL) has his problems, along with all the other rascals that accepted Abramoff-tainted fundage. One of the more prominent names on the list is Senator Harry Ried, (D-NV).

    Apollo Crashes, United Left Holding Bag

    January 4, 2006 - By 

    Chicago Tribune | Computer failure disrupts United flights worldwide Hee hee! I’m on SABRE. However, this impacted us anyway, because no record locators were coming back on our bookings, and we couldn’t issue tickets on UA. So they had to issue a blanket fare waiver today, and we had to issue tickets and store the fare manually. Which was a bummer, but hee hee! SABRE makes that kind of thing easy.
