Spam resources

Feb 19, 2006

My website has finally arrived at a higher level. It now appears on one of those ubiquitous web-spam pages, this one dedicated to thermal paste. It is located near the bottom of the page. Someone actually followed the link, according to my server logs. I guess they're really into thermal paste. And yes, I can see you visiting my site, too. :-) If that bothers you, I would recommend checking out Tor. You should also try visiting browser-recon, to get a small taste of just how much info you leak by simply browsing the web.

Someone surreptitiously recorded some videos showing Novell's demos of their soon-to-be-released OpenGL extensions for the X desktop. These are a must-see, they put Apple to shame (IMHO, of course).

Green, Glowing Pigs

Researchers in Taiwan have apparently injected embryonic piglets with fluorescent jellyfish protein, and the adult pigs now glow green both on the inside and outside. I personally don't understand how simply injecting some protein into an embryo can cause an adult pig to glow...

I knew nobody would bother to admire my guineas if I didn't put them on the front page. I have several pearl, pied and lavendar guineas, a rare slate guinea, and a completely unique two-tone guinea that was hatched by a mother hen out of an egg produced by a cross between a lavendar and a pied guinea. This last guinea is featured below:
