PEER 1 Growing Pains: Episode 1

The parent company of ServerBeach, a local tech company here in San Antonio by the name of PEER 1 has created a video series of a couple attempting to start their own business. These videos show a humorous yet realistic view of what could happen, the problems that could arise, and the frustrations it can bring. They’ve just released episode 2 (see below video) of the series they call “Growing Pains” along with a pretty sweet $10,000 contest.

How about some Welfare reform?

Posted in Government, Rants, Welfare, politics by zylone on January 22nd, 2008

This email sent to Rep. John Lewis really peaked my interest this evening. I totally agree with the idea of drug testing welfare recipients, or any government aid for that matter. I know there would be people out there complaining that it would not be cost effective because of the cost of the actual urine test’s. Simple fix for that, use a third party company, therefore the government can’t charge $20 per test. Problem solved. As well, why not make those qualified, work for that government cheese? There are plenty of ditches to be cleaned, grass to be mowed, etc.

RIAA website hacked

Posted in Hackers, Music, RIAA, Technical by zylone on January 22nd, 2008

This is not the first time the RIAA’s website has been taken down. In the past, the site had been hit by a Denial of Service attack, among other attacks. This time, hacker’s had used a SQL injection attack to gain access to the site and deface it. For more information on the attack and some rather funny screen shot’s, check out this post from TorrentFreak.

I hate to say it, but what goes around comes around. I am all for artist’s receiving royalties for their work, yet I think the RIAA play’s a dirty game at times in the pursuit of justice.

Wikia Search, just another search engine?

Posted in General, Rants by zylone on January 7th, 2008

Wikia Search has gone live today (alpha). Wikia Search is another brain child of Wikipedia creator, Jimmy Wales. I must say, I am not too impressed. Doing a quick google search, it doesn’t seem like many others are either! I don’t see much more than a regular search engine. All the hype about this new search site was that it was user driven! This site rocks, this site is meh, etc.. Oh well, I guess we will have to see how it goes, but until I read anything in the future about how great it is, I doubt I will be using it much if at all. Oh, and it just looks too damn bubbly for me!
