Someone actually tested my super advanced Ultramega OK anti "wow gold" spammer technology... so I rolled out a BadMotorBeta.

Go ahead... try it. Add a comment and type in "wow gold" in the comment form and see what happens.

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU.

Yeah. I thought so.... ya wuss. For the record: BadMotorBeta - copyright © 2009

I got a new phone... Actually I got a new pocket computer (with Windows CE) that came with a built in phone. The thing has more horse power than my workstation back in 2000. So my first thought is, being the geek that I am: What can I get this thing to do?

What should I try first? Hmmmmm... Wouldn't it be cool if I could get it to serve up web pages. HEY!!! It *is* connected to the internet. Huh? I wonder if I get it to run Apache?

Then the rational part of my brain kicked in: WHOA!!! STOP right there.. I have so much OTHER stuff I need to learn. My to do list could keep me occupied for the next ten years... easy.

Then I saw this article in my in my inbox and it made me feel better: Installing Linux on the PlayStation 3.

Seriously... is there some sort of 12 step program for this sorta stuff? I am going to end up like this some day (again).

The confessions would be funny:

"Hi, my name is Gerald."

"Hi Gerald."

"I tried to turn my phone into a web server...."

I have a love hate relationship with FF. The plugins are great. But it is a ram and CPU WHORE.

This is what FF does when I surf on my 2.8 gig P4 laptop. See all those EXTENDED periods where the proccessor is pegged? This is me clicking on links on standard web plain jane web 1.0 html pages.

So this is the crown jewel of open source?

Is it me or is something very, VERY wrong here?
