I have purchased I-Octane's new album "My Journey" and Jah Cure's album
"World Cry". I'm a fan of both and Jah Cure's music finally made my iTunes
collection. Happy Listening!
I was playing around with iMovie on my Mac mini on the weekend and this is
what I came up with.
I could have taken any song but I thought I'd try it with something personal.
Lyrics by me, music is from the radio recorded from the Urban Space show (old
CKLN show).
Happy US Independence day. Recently the news hit in Germany that users of
tor (which is an anonymiser) are tracked down by the NSA and get an "extremist"
flag. This just goes to show that dynamic IP's are not quite anonymous, as
tor is much better at anonymizing than a dynamic IP. Anonymous services are
dead. I realised this in 1997 when I started working for an ISP, and have
always since tried to get a static IP. A static IP doesn't change, you dial
in or connect your DSL and it is always on the same IP. This makes you easily
identifyable by laymans even. However it also gives you a set of freedoms.
Because now you can run services right at home, like a mail server. You know
noone is snooping through your mail because you're the only admin of the
computer at home. This gives you Independence too strangely (referring to
the first sentence in this paragraph). Currently I'm on a dynamic IP but once
my contract is up I'm switching to a provider that can give me a static IP
again. The reason this didn't happen was that I was in a hurry to get 'net
back when and was locked in a 24 months contract.
Some of you may know I have a Canadian history. I even applied for .ca
citizenship once but only went to stage 2 of a three stage process and didn't
obtain it. Sad for me, Canada is a lovely country. I'm pretty jealous of
people who obtained dual citizenships, as they can make both their countries
their home. Anyhow. Enjoy the day when people wear red and white (sometimes)!
The German Justice Minister wants to do harm to google in order to break
the monopoly. Citations here. But it's
my opinion that they're going about it wrong. What politics is doing is just
adding a tax or tarif on Google which google will survive, as they are a
monopoly. If you want to hurt google you copy its functions and start-up.
Last year, I outlinedwhat needed to be done and how google positioned itself to be #1.
Anyhow Minister, send me a proper email if you want to give me the green light
to start a new google.
