A Fan Call for HTTP

Well, this appeared on my brother’s blog today. Unfortunately, he was very poor in his post as to explain what “this” is all about. What is it about? Well, apparently, if you enter a botched up URL (http//www.something.com) on your web browser, be it even Mozilla or Firefox, it will shortly lead you to Microsoft’s page. Do not attempt to adjust your browser! This is not a problem with it but with Google. Why Google? Good question. Apparently, if Firefox or Mozilla can not locate the address you were addressing then it just performs a quick “I’m Feeling Lucky” search in Google and takes you there. Most fucked-uply, because of Google’s page ranking system, Microsoft is the number one on the list and the W3 Consortium is only second. What should we do? You should post things about HTTP, with links attached, that has nothing to do with Microsoft. Do it now, right now! Go to message boards, forums, blogs, comment sites and do it. If there is enough links linking back to other pages, then Microsoft’s rating should diminish. Go for it! Seize the Day!

Transform and Roll Out!

Some Japanesse guy actually constructed Earth’s first Transformer robot. As for the alignment issue? It has yet to be decided wether it is an Autobot or a Decepticon. Thanks Big Bro.

עדכון משחק בעברית (מקווה שזה יראה נורמלי)

אחרי שהחזיר את הציוד, עשה נתנאל את דרכו חזרה לחדר הפנאי המרווח של שיווה. לא עברה שעה מאז שהחיידק הקטן הצטרף אליהם מחדש והוא כבר הספיק לעצבן אותו עוד פעם. שאלוהים יעזור לי, הוא חשב לעצמו. “נתנאל, אתה בסדר?” הישראלי הרים את ראשו וראה את אחת המחוננות הולכת לכיוון חדר האוכל. “כן, תמי. למה את שואלת?” “יורד לך דם מהאף.” הוא הרים אצבע לאפו והחזיר אותה כשטיפת דם זורמת במורדה. “זה קורה לפעמים,” הוא אמר לה, תוהה למי הוא משקר. “זה בסדר, הנה קח,” היא אמרה והוציאה מכיס מכנסיה חבילה קטנה של מטפחות נייר. הוא לקח אחת ומחה את הדם מאפו. הוא חייך אליה חיוך מאשר והודה לה. “אתה בטוח שאתה בסדר?” היא שאלה שוב. “כד, כד,” הוא הבטיח לה. “שברתי את האף כשהייתי צעיר. עדייד קורה לי שמדבד לפעביב.” לאחר ארוחת הערב, מטפחת הנייר כבר הייתה באחד מפחי האשפה בחדר האוכל ונתנאל היה ישוב מול אחד המחשבים בחדר הפנאי. הוא קילל במהירות בראשו אבל זה היה בינו לאלוהים ובין אמא של לינג סאו למשפחת שדים טזמאניים. הוא פתח דפדפן וניגש לחשבון הדואר שלו ב-Google. הוא פתח את הקובץ שדנה שלחה לו והריץ ישר ממנו את התוכנה. הוא התחיל לכתוב אל תוך תיבת הטקסט שנפתחה בפניו. את הטקסט, שעבר הצפנה כבדה, הוא העתיק לדפדפן ושלח לכתובת דואל שנתנו לו מראש. אם הם לא מצטטים להקלדות מקלדת, הם לא צריכים להיות מסוגלים לקרוא את זה. הוא לא חשב שהם עד כדי כך פרנואידיים.

The Ups and Downs of Growing Up

I’m sure you’ve all seen this recently. Kids are growing up faster. Wether we like it or not, the age of mental maturity is going down at an alarming rate with no consequence for physical maturaity. It is actually approaching the age of maturity perceived and required of boys and girls in old times. You’ve all probably seen the news in the past months. Teenage boys molest other teenage boys. Rape is a common thing around the age of 14. Kids bring knives to school. 10-year-olds get kitchen knives and stab 6-year-olds. And the one that bothered me most was the brutalness of kindergarden children.

What You See is What You Are

It occured to me yesterday at work… People are different. People see things differently. Yes, it’s quite a shock, I know but listen anyway. Think about it for a moment. Why is this guy a comedian and why is this guy a soldier? The answer is simple. They see things differently. A comedian is a good comedian if he looks at something and see what humor he can get from it. The soldier is a good soldier if he looks at something and sees tactics, weak spots, entry points and so forth.

Bash ’em In

Lately, I’ve received a quote from a website called Bash.org which is a hive for IRC quotes. I’ve been reading it for the past few days and I’ve been shitting my pants laughing. If anyone is e-mailing me, you’ll see some quotes pop up but this one I just had to put up right now.

It’s Draw Bat-Girl Day!

Well, it was 3 days ago. Some bloke started it all. His buddy tried too. Then some others did it and voila: In two days you have over 500 bat-girls. Some are really sucky but some look really cool. (Kudos to the Dark Establishment for bringing it to my attention) Of course, I can’t draw to save my life. But I have Hero Machine. And thus, the result:

Letter to Dana

< >> From: norsh@gmail.com To: danalev@gmail.com Subject: Letter to Dana BH “Dana, my darling, I’m writing to you…” Sorry, you know I’ll always love that song. So, how are things back home? I hope my parents are treating you well. I apologize in advance for writing in English. The terminals here don’t have a Hebrew interface. How are your studies going along? I hope you’re not making it too difficult on your teachers. And tell David he owes me 10 nis. He’ll know what it is about.

News Flash: Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

Today on the Less Interesting Times we have a new and refurbished edition. Coming to you live in five. The top stories are as follows: Over 2,000 kids in Israel last year arrived at the brink of hospitalization becuase of parent abuse. Somehow, not enough people see it as severely and the situation continues. What the fuck is wrong with people? We’re talking about a child of 3 to 7 years old who is beaten by his father or mother to the point where serious medical attention is needed. Does it not strike anyone as particulary wrong? Because it sure pisses the hell out of me.
