 March 5th, 2004 |  OwenI really, really, hate spammers, they’re just sad little morally and ethically corrupt gimps. One of these antisocial idiots is using my ‘owen.demon.nl’ domain as a faked from: and reply-to: domain in their garbage e-mails at the moment, peddling crooked money schemes and internet casino’s. Nothing I can do about it I’m afraid, my condolences to anyone who came here after receiving one of these mails. Please be assured that I did not send them. October 16th, 2003 | OwenA well-worn phrase, but quite appropriate when it comes to the Music industry at present. - The copyright notice on that article made me smile too: “All material on azoz.com is protected by copyright law and by international treaties, but it all seems rather pointless. You may reprint any article on this site in whole, in part, in effigy or in ridicule. I really don’t care.” - Genius! October 10th, 2003 | OwenThis company created a ‘CD anti-piracy’ technique that relies on windows ‘autorun’ feature to install a piece of malware when you put the CD in the PC’s CD drive. This can be by-passed by simply holding the ‘Shift’ key of your PC when you put the CD in the drive (this temporarily disables autorun), or just disable autorun completely (like I do). So, Some academics looked at this marvellous innovation in anti-piracy software, and realised that it was hopeless and can be by-passed by anybody with half a brain-cell. They published their results, and now Sunncomm is threatening to sue them for millions of dollars. Is corporate america sad or what? September 26th, 2003 | OwenKalymnos is a fantastic place, I just wish the company had been better. I’ll sort out my holiday pictures when I get some time to generate the albums on my PC. September 16th, 2003 | Owen…take the Long Swim, it actually works out too short, I’m glad I’m a good swimmer. September 10th, 2003 | Owen September 8th, 2003 | Owen September 3rd, 2003 | OwenBe careful what you save, Writable CD’s are showing signs that they age pretty quickly. July 24th, 2003 | OwenHumm, well I really can’t actually be bothered to write anything after this about Railair, that bunch of loosers have already cost me time and money.. However, if anyone reads this who is relying on Railair to transport them from Heathrow to their destination after flying to the UK, especially if you’re arriving on a late flight. Well… have a backup plan ready.. July 23rd, 2003 | OwenThis is old news, but I have not really posted it yet. Dates from my last visit to UK, where Railair (a private company that operates bus links between Airports and Train stations, since the UK has failed to actually integrate public transport). Sucks big time. They have a real customer service problem caused by low-quality poorly motivated staff who treat customers like idiots. I’ll write it up fully for a ‘Railair Sucks’ page soon, menwhile, heres a link to another story, to which I added my own. July 21st, 2003 | OwenWhen you spin, you distort truth for your own advantage. Distorting truth is just another form of a lie. You are just another liar. Here are two pertinent quotes from this article: [The BBC] has had its journalistic practices endlessly scrutinised and criticised, often by a national press whose own hygiene standards are far lower than those of the corporation. Any correspondent who files reports for the BBC which are off-message knows what to expect; either an abusive tirade from Campbell in person or a multipaged letter complaining to their boss of their lack of journalistic rigour, or sometimes both. Here are some more interesting points. |
