Protect Your Brain, And your servers

April 3rd, 2005 at 9:43 am by johnsee (Movies, Online)

BB Reports:

Following up on yesterday’s post about a directory of browseable DVD cover art on the MGM.com servers, reader Martin Borus says, “Did you see that you can go up the structure and then down again to see the corporate directory with PowerPoint slides like this one (alternate link), proving that profit margin on DVD is double that of VHS?”

The slide Martin refers to came from a 2002 MGM corporate PowerPoint report, saved as individual jpeg slides in a directory which also contains earlier and later versions of that same report from as far back as 2000, and as recently as 2004: Link.

It just goes to show how important it is to watch what you put online… now I’d just like to see a few movies found in an unprotexted online folder!

How to make windows more like linux

[****] This one is more for the geeks and nerds out there. If you don’t know what Linux is, you are not going to understand this. If you do, you’ll probably find it halarious. Your choice.

Living in starbucks

April 2nd, 2005 at 3:33 pm by johnsee (Around the World)

He bathes in churches, spending $20 a week on mouthwash, shaving cream, and other necessities. The self-taught Midwestern transplant earns money by helping people with their computer problems at Kinko’s come nightfall. During the day, he uses the ghetto-tech computer equipment, he discovered in a dumpster, to surf the Internet at Starbucks (picking up free wireless waves from the neighborhood). Is he surfing monster.com for a job? “No. What’s the point? No one will hire you if you don’t have an address.” Instead, he’ll navigate local news and spend most of his time in Yahoo! Chat rooms trying to find his soul mate. “I have to admit, I have quite a way with the ladies. Especially the big ones. I like mine big.”


If you thought living in a coffee shop was impossible, feel free to check this blog out… maybe it wouldn’t be that bad to be homeless after all…

SandSOLD

April 1st, 2005 at 7:24 pm by johnsee (Site News)

I hate ot be the bearer of bad news, but I’ve sold sandstorming.com. I was approached by email by a microsoft representative last month, with regards to Microsoft aquiring my domain name, it appears they wish to bring out a product with a very similar name, and in turn wish to buy my domain. Part of the contract however, requires that my site is taken offline. Viva la microsoft!
