Another horrible tragedy !!

I have been following the story on Cho Seung-Hui, and while being a techie I kind wanted to know how fast Google index will pick up this name and bring about search results.

However, I find a more tragic scenario unfolding !

There are cyber squatters registering the names of the victims and parking it on sites that have ADsense driven revenue. This is plain wrong  !! Making $$$ of the victims. 

I sent in a note to CCN hopefully, they will mention this in their coverage. I

Flattening of the Blog Curve

Blogging has matured and it's peaked - just as  others have suspected, but the crucial question is why ?

Steve notes "However, this nugget is key: blog posts per day, the most critical measure as it relates to blogging, slid."

As for me, I have been doing less blogging then normal, even my link blogging seems to have diminished. Is this because I have become a twitter freak ? I wonder how many other bloggers out there feel the same way ?? 

Micro Blogging for me seems to be ideal for me. I capture my thoughts and ideas on the fly. I don't need to "glide off the zone"  to be able to capture the thought as a blog post, the process has now  become seamless.

This brings me back to  "Why do I blog ?" meme. TO me its relatively simple, I normally point to something and say my 2cents or I point to something and ask others what they think. In a nutshell, this is what ALL blogging about. Secondly, I consume a lot of information and my strategy itself has not changed. However, fragmentation has increased in terms of information consumption. I no longer only have 1 reader as my main source. Rather, I have readers, GDS sidebars, twitters, Clips and chat. The Landscape has changed and this is impacting the way bloggers blog !!

Update : Dave has an "Imbalance theory"

Alberto Gonzales' resignation

Seems that its appropriate for this Dude to step down..maybe he should also 'fess up to the "mistakes" that were actually made.

Good Friends lunch !!

I had some good friends over for lunch. Say Hi to Mylene (Standing), Penny (left) and Kelly (right).

These are friends that I have a lot of experience with. We have fought like cats and dawgs, but at the end of the day, they are still friends. God bless my friends, I am really lucky to have such magnificent people in my life.

I look foward to having them over for lunch or supper another time.

C&C bot infection

Never keep your laptop on for some time. I got infected with a major C&C bot ( Command and Control Robot s/w) !!

yeah, I Kinda was lazy and kept my flanks open for some reason, I was getting a lot of hits from a zone which was highly suspect..but all I did was ask the question..

I am getting a hecka lot of traffic from this page. I translated english to Russian. What is driving traffic to my site .. any ideas. ??

I cant find a seed link .. :(-

Not sure, how I slipped up..but I was thrown out by my ISP (rogers Canada) with the warning that hacking and such efforts are not tolerented. yeah, I had to say swear that it was not me, but it was malware.. so there..its been like 3 days to get my stuff in action once again !!

anyway, me is here.. back on the grid !!

Last time we'll 'fall back' in October

Oh well, this is the last time 'ever' that we will fall back in October !! yeah that sucks, because of that new engery bill

"Under a law passed last year, daylight-saving time will start the second Sunday in March and run until the first Sunday in November, making it three weeks longer.

The law -- called the Energy Policy Act of 2005 -- is intended to make daylight last longer, thus saving energy."

Why do we Canadian having to follow that rule ?? What will happen if we just keep moving along with the same old rules for daylight settings ??

Sum of all Zero's !!

Ian Kennedy , sum's up what has been happening over the last couple of days - great little bit of conversations :)-

"What an amazing couple of days it's been! AOL is a little *too* free with its data. Google slaps down a huge commitment of cash to get invited to a party they missed. And now Microsoft lets one of its more creative minds wither on the vine!"

[shamelessly ] Trolled from here  :)-

War doest...

Jason a long time ago had this as his signature;

"War doesn't determine who's right. It determines who's left."

What will be the toll on the war in Lebenon and Isreal ?? What will be left ??

The Double Game in the Nuclear Poker is beginning to play out. The Khan network is active !!
