I'm Alive.
Couple nights ago when I posted that entry, everything had gotten to me all at once. I was so bad off that one more stress would have broken me, and I got two stresses. Then I broke. And overdosed on my spiro ( Read more... ) -

So, last night someone insulted me. Someone else blew it way out of proportion. It spiraled from there ( Read more... ) -
Defenses/vCore Changing
Defenses in vCore are changing. I've already noted the primary blocker will be URL based rather than domain-based, but domain-based won't be going away, either ( Read more... ) -

I got the idea from playing World of Warcraft, where all item names are colored to indicate their significance, and it certainly does help ( Read more... ) -
Advertising Services
I've been thinking of starting up an advertising service. Not what you might think, though. One core concept is the same concept that Project Wonderful uses - as an advertiser, you bid on ad spots and only pay for the time the ad is displayed, and as a publisher, you get 85% of that bid. But, Project Wonderful has a few issues that I don't like ( Read more... )
