In the Dog house.

I went to the pub on Friday night, I came home some time after 23:00 and I was greeted by the sight of what used to be a very nice cushion from the living room:

This was the scene

It didn’t take Colombo to work out who was the culprit. Just the look of guilt on his face was enough.

This was the look of guilt.

So, until after midnight, while half cut, there I was clearing up about 4 ducks worth of feathers. I didn’t speak to the dog for some time after this, as you can imagine.

I love spam subject lines.

I don’t know what systems spammer use to generate their spam messages, but I imagine it is done in an attempt to circumvent spam guard software. This can lead to some quite amusing subject lines, such as:

“Relax with she-males with large C0CKS”

Tell you what, nothing helps me relax in the evenings like a she-male with a large cock. Some people like to have a little drink, others like to do some gardening, for me, it has to be a she-mail with a large cock, better than a hot bath any day.

I haven’t actually opened the e-mail so I am not too sure what it is advertising, I guess it could be an advert for some sort of coffee lounge. A place where you can go that has loads of bean bags, chill out music and she-mails with large cocks…

…perhaps not.

Unix\Liunx geeks really get on my tits sometimes.

If you don’t know Linux is an operating system that will run on the same type of computer that will run windows (just like the one that you are reading this one). It is very powerful, but is also very complicated and hard to use, it helps if you are a programmer if you want to use it.

Some Linux users are quite fanatical about it, as if it where some sort of religion that if you believed in your would live in peace are harmony for ever. Or more realistically, these are the last reminence of a world where nobody understood computers and those that did acquired some sort of geeky kudos that went some way to recompense them for their total lack of sex appeal.

One of the main principles of the Linx heads belief system is “open source”, that means that you can actually look at the code of the software that you are using, and if you want to, alter it to better suit your needs. That is very nice for people that know how to read and understand code (not everybody then) and, funnily enough, no one ever does this.

Open Source software is also free, which is quite nice, assuming you get work out how to use it. To give you an idea of the elitist attitude of the Linux head, they would say “if you cant work out how to use it then you shouldn’t be using it”. Perhaps I should give this Linux head a ladies private parts and see if there theory is borne out.

Anyhoo….

A new peace of software has been released call 'Browzar', this is a little program that when you download and run opens a web browsers, it looks brand new, but is in fact just Internet Explorer is new clothes, this important this about this 'Browzar' thought, is that it doesn’t leave any trace of what pages you have been looking at on the computer, so, ideal for using in an internet café or for surfing for porn on your family computer.

This software is written by a company that doesn’t want everybody to see their source code so it is not Open Source, it is, as they call it, closed source. Apparently this makes it anything from completely insignificant to outright evil. That is, according to slashdot.com.

Slash Dot (or /.) is a news page for Linux and Unix heads, and as such is defiantly not for the rest of society, largely because you wont even understand what they are going on about (which is fine by they way, I don’t mind that, but just don’t post anything on the message board unless you are an uber geek, you *will* get flamed)

Anyway, to wrap this article up, because I actually have work to do…

It was posed on Slash Dot that Browsar may have some sort of AdWare component to it, queue much sabre rattling about the evils of closed source, Microsoft and the stupidity of everybody that has never written software is assembly code. Probably followed by masturbating over pictures of Willow from Buffy.

I may moan further about the attitude of Liux\Unix people at some point in the future, I quite enjoyed that.
