Nozell, rhymes with Oh Hell

I’ve fallen in love with del.icio.us. Not only is it a nice way to have my bookmarks available from any system, it is a snap to add a new bookmark and categorize it. And it is an endless source of other URLs that other people consider worthwhile. From your bookmark page you can explore sites that others have similarly tagged.

Oh, yeah, it supports RSS feeds! Subscribe to my bookmarks , just my ‘linux’ related sites, everyone’s everyones bookmarks or everyones linux bookmarks . Sweet use of RSS.

(Not to mention a sneaky way to point folks to the most disgusting video I’ve ever see on the net. Don’t have any food in your mouth when you watch it! Come to think of it, you may never want to eat again.)

I just submitted a complaint at McDonald’s website about their latest free music download promotion.

I really *did* want to see what DRM-encrusted music format they were using and if it would play on my computer.

Here is what I had to say:

We’ll see if they even bother to reply.

Since I’ve picked up a hp camera, the kids and I have been going crazy
taking pictures. Last Saturday while killing time while the kids were
at art classes, I took a random
walking tour of Manchester, NH.

• WPA-era statue of the America Revolutionay War Brigadier General
  Casimir Pulaski, formerly Marshall General of Poland. This photo was
  even taken on href="http://molelog.molehill.org/blox/Politics/Observances/GeneralPulaskiMemor
  ialDay2003.writeback">the
  official General Pulaski Memorial Day!
• Wagner Memorial in Manchester (Who is Wagner? Memorial to what?)
• old fire alarm boxes
• Lieberman NH Political posters
• poster for the world premiere of ‘Druid Gladiator Clone’ a movie
  made in Manchester, NH (that has got to win for coolest new movie
  title.)
• The Cadillac Motel: Rooms for a night or a life time (Rooms by the
  hour too?)
• General autumnal pictures of New Hampshire

Take a look at my href="http://nozell.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/miniphotoblog">new photoblog

VeriSign added a wildcard A record to the .COM and .NET TLD DNS zones. The IP address returned is 64.94.110.11, which reverses to sitefinder.verisign.com.

That means when someone mistypes a URL or non-existent domain name it will go to Verisign’s advertising/search engine site.

So a clearly bogus site (www.marcnozelllikesdebian989283492340.com) will resolve in DNS.

$host www.marcnozelllikesdebian989283492340.com
www.marcnozelllikesdebian989283492340.com has address 64.94.110.11

Between Wendy at tennis camp, getting ready for a customer demo at
work and attending to the kids by myself, blogging is taking a back
seat. Here are some interesting links:

• world
  conspiracy
• Spinoza Correspondence (ref: if a triangle could speak, it would say, in like manner, that God is eminently triangular, while a circle would say that the divine nature is eminently circular. Thus each would ascribe to God its own attributes, would assume itself to be like God, and look on everything else as ill-shaped. )
• JDiskReport (via
  fuzzyblog)
• debian and other cool wallpapers
• I’m not using “neep”, an alternative
  to the courier font (mt moleblog)
• All the issues from 1841 to 1902 of the Brooklyn
  Eagle News has been digitized. A genealogist’s goldmine.
• kast (konspire) is an interesting broadcasting twist on P2P/cooperative downloads (ala bittorrent). I’ve subscribed to a bunch of channels to see what turns up tomorrow.

Damn! My linux laptop’s /home partition filled up and galeon
couldn’t save my bookmarks — so a truncated version (all header, no
marks) is all there is. All those random blogs I’ve bookmarked for
later reading… Damn, damn, damn.

Maybe now is the time to use a dedicated bookmark editor like href="http://www.nongnu.org/gnobog/">gnobog to store and
categorize the bookmarks.

You life isn’t complete until you write and post an httpd log perl script. p>

Here is my offering: amifamousyet.pl

The output shows how people are coming to my site. This week’s log shows:

• Someone trying to advertise something about Thailand has two html files on
  their Windows
  G: drive (g:/oversea/country/Thailand/Thailand advertise inc.htm)
• Searching looking for linux/debian/genealogy/random things such as:

  • xdmcp listen debian
  • photo scanner hp 1000 twain

  • male eye candy
  • email addresses of CHIROPRACTIC DOCTORS in usa
  • sites geographically near themselves (
    geourl.org)
  • Merrimack Middle School picture
  • picture of Mastricola Middle School

Right thinking people use Mozilla or other
web browsers and, of course, are safe from this
little hack. Add it to *your* website.
