Strangely Perfect

Introduction A few days ago I got hacked.  I quickly ripped out a heap of dodgy files left by the hackers but for some days now, Firefox, my browser, while viewing pages on this website, has been saying that it’s “downloading data from tructuyenso.vn… “. .htaccess This, of course, was not actually happening, as I’ve put [...]

Metropolitan Police Wear Examined The appearance of “our” police is becoming more and more like some hellish dystopian vision of oppression from all the best science fiction of the last century. Compare and contrast the two shots below; one from the finale of the BBC series Blakes Seven, the other from the Whitehall kettle during [...]

Who Is Robert Allen? For an answer to this, see these posts and follow up comments: Robert G Allen, Grants, and a Credit Card Slimeball eBay Success System – Blatant Lie What? No Google!

For no reason …other than a try-out and also the current anti-spam plugins miss the odd bit of comment spam, I’ve now switched off TanTanNoodles’ Spam filter and am giving WP-SpamFree another try plus another plugin, AVH.  I’ve left Akismet running regardless. WP-SpamFree This now promises a lot, so it’s worth another shot.  Two years [...]

Remove Referrals Information from This Website because of Malware Like many blogs, this website has displayed the last few hits (referrals) that it’s received as a kind of ‘live’ activity recorder and a small service back to the referring website.  However, I’ve had to pull this from my front page because over the last few [...]

There’s something weird about the recent ‘leak’ of BNP members’ names.  The list is available on the Wikileaks website here: http://wikileaks.org/wiki /British_National_Party_ membership_list_and_ other_information,_15_Apr_2009 There’s currently some trouble with downloading due to server overload.  Also, people are complaining that the file is a binary Excel workbook containing several worksheets.  It’s about 1.5Mb in size.  I’ve [...]

How to Convert a Windows 7 Dynamic Disk to Basic Disk When  Microsoft says It’s Irreversible! Firstly, Do Not Dance with the Devil! I made the mistake (again!) of trying dynamic disks with my new Windows 7 installation.  I must have been asleep – the use of this system is seriously frowned upon for most [...]

Introduction Poacher turned Gamekeeper I’ve been rss following a little thread where a job-seeking homeworker has been diddled out of thousands – see Saundrak’s Blog. It seems to have close ties to Pacific Webworks et al, maybe not directly, but the Golf Course, techniques,  or something. Read this curious comment from someone called mlwood79 that [...]

Oh What a tangled web we weave… Back on May 1st I checked out this particular morph of the Google Money Bollox Kit Chest Scheme Plan…  See here.  I just had to show it because of the naff spelling and wordage, plus the inconsistencies in the text and graphics, and company name changes. Normal Of [...]

It’s Only Me I’m busy moving files and databases to my new host, Site5.com. Consequently, things may come and go as the nameservers are re-pointed. You may spot odd things happening. But don’t worry – it’s only me! (and I’m thinking of buying a Honda Pessary)

The King is Dead, Long Live the King! I’m not taking this up as actually, I want $944 per day! The original Google Treasure Chest was wound up some time ago, and it’s owners are now on multiple charges filed by the US’s FTC.  Fortunately, I took the “opportunity” to sign up for “money-making schemes”, [...]

Introduction So it’s time to move… It’s time to get down with it… It’s time to testify.. …and I want to know… ARE YOU READY TO TESTIFY? Brothers and sisters… I give you.. A testimonial… The MC5! With a vague resemblance to my personal life and status, and a bit like “technology mirroring life”, this [...]

Introduction An unfortunate consequence of posting stuff online is that you enable your ‘work’, ‘your words of wisdom’, your ‘copyright’ or your petty scrawlings (choose which you think is the most appropriate), to the world as as such, it’s freely copyable. My website is proudly running on WordPress sat on a standard shared hosting LAMP [...]

Too Little, Too Late, Gordon Brown This morning, PM Gordon Brown told Andrew Marr that he wants to ‘clean up’ parliament. He wants a ‘code of conduct’ for MPs to follow. The thing is, there’s already a code of conduct – it’s called the law! All we,  ‘the people’ want, is to have reasonable laws [...]
