Xugle.com: Half a Million Iranians can't be wrong!

Filed under: Blog, Random, Travel, Tech — jimX @ 6:48 pm Edit This

Dear Valued customer,

Recently we have noticed that your web site(s)is consuming a disproportionate amount of server resources. Due to this, we have had to move your account off of the shared hosting server to an auxilliary server host. We will now request that you consider purchasing a Managed or Dedicated Server in order to continue hosting services with 1&1 Internet.

Your account was moved based on a decision made by the system administrators in
order to improve the quality of service to the rest of our clients on the shared
hosting server you were previously hosted on. Your account’s resource needs
were exceeding the capacity of that server to capably host the other accounts,
thus it had to be moved to mitigate the server load. Though we could move your
site back to the original shared hosting server, it is not recommended. Your
account activity has showed that it deserves its own server to better suite its
performance needs.

Please visit 1and1.com to review the server products we offer. You will have
one(1) month to make a decision and migrate your account over to 1&1 server
or another host provider. You can choose to return your account back to the
shared server systems if you wish, provided that you take steps to reduce the
load generated by your websites. If the account has to be moved off the
shared server system again you will only have the option of purchasing a
dedicated server account to continue hosting with 1&1 Internet.

Thank you for your compliance in this matter.

This is the Email I received from my Webhoast at 5:47pm EST On 4/7/2006. Naturally, this is not a good thing,so I downloaded the logs from my server. I found that there were thousands of hits coming from Iran To the proxies . These hits ranged from Internet Explorer to Mozilla-style browsers on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. Iran is one of the countries in the world that censors the internet at the national scale. Although I want to help these depribed people, I can’t afford the banwidth so I had to move the proxies to undisclosed locations on the internet. I expect a friendly visit from my Local G-Man any day now, and I will be posting the logs on my server at a later time. I will be posting instructions on how to use the Tor Network in the places where the proxies used to be.

Hopefully, my hoast will take pity on me and not charge me the $10k I owe them in bandwidth. If they do, Iran owes me a college education.

General Generalness

Update (Kill the Cats! The Familiars of The Devil!): The Pluage was not fun. I think I’m over it now… but next year I’m thinking of wearing a Biohazard Suit for the first half of the year.

Random Thought: *is sad* the little clip on my USB Thumbdrive just fell off. Now the only useful feature of the thing is that it holds 256MB of data.

Update (School): I think I know my way around… still gotta follow someone from Spanish class (2nd period) to Social Studies (3rd Period)

Request (Blog): anyone know how to get my moblog script to run in the sidebar of wordpress?
These two bits of code should help:

<embed wmode=”transparent” src=”http://nerdzilla.textamerica.com/Flash/FlashPanel-002.swf?reload=46236.1485069″ FlashVars=”UserID=455478&url=http://nerdzilla.textamerica.com/flasherXML.aspx?refresh=455478″ menu=”false” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”120″ height=”160″>
</embed>

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript” src=”http://nerdzilla.textamerica.com/flasher.aspx?refresh=455478″></script>

Current Projects:
I’m downloading *looks at router* I just finished downlaoding a HD Windows media Player File With DRM on it… will it work in Kaffeine? I’m going to find out soon.

UPDATE (11:45PM): No… it didnt work. But I had 2 other files without DRM and only one of them worked. Somthing with The MPlayer code maybe?

School:
I Signed Up For the “Community Action Program”… I need the Community Service hours to graduate. I signed up during lunch yesterday, and I was handed a list of activites that were sanctioned by the school and recognised as community service. I need to do two or three to have “competed” the function. I think I’m going to Setup Christmas Lights for this one children’s hospitol charity, Do the babysitting thing for the PTA meetings at Sunrise (an elementry school), and Talk to the 5th Graders about Middle School. They seem simple… and I get to Play with electricity *twitch*, Gain Baysitting Experience (think 2 Rolls of Duct Tape will be enough?), and Influence the Young minds of the nation (VIVA LA REVOLUTION!). This is going to be interesting. hehehe.

More about me!

Filed under: Blog, School, Rants, Tech — jimX @ 3:36 pm Edit This

Hey… since I now have a Content management system, I’m posing more about me.

My Moblog: nerdzilla.textamerica.com
This Blog: blog.xugle.com
My Computer:
Sony Vaio generic P.o.S… soon to be AMD Athlon 64 3000+, Win XP x32/Kubuntu.

I now totally Hate G4… They Ditched all Tech programming for a while (in Favor of shows about video games that nobody has heard of, cars and girls who look like they’re 600% silicoln), but then said “Oh sht! we lost some viewers! Put some tech content on!” So they contacted Leo Laporte in Toronto, negotiated and Got Call For Help Canada on in The USA. At 11 AM. When nobody is aruond to watch it. I really wish a TiVo or somthing could fix this… but how am I supposed to timeshift a phonecall into the past?

Instead, I get my Tech content from The follwing:

TWiT
Digg
Systm
theBroken

yeh. So that brings us to the topic of School…

1st) Geometry: The teacher (Ms. Jones [?]) is nice… she seems to actually want us to comprehend what we’re doing… and there are 2 Juniors, and one Sophomore in my class… so I assume that means that she’ll make it uber-easy for everyone. (No Disrespect to those people… I flunked Algebra. You know more than I do)

2nd) Spanish: Español es moi bueno! Señorita Bullian seems sensible… she started with nouns… like Backpack (sounds like moo-chee-laa to me), Door (la puerta), Window (la ventada), Folder (la carpeta), notebook (la quaderno), etc.

3rd) Civics and Government (aka, Social Studies): Ms. Smith seems to be intelligent… even though we just spent the last week going over the _entire_ book of school rules. (No Cell phones, guns, kissing , cheating, parking in a school lot without a permit, smoking, drugs, alcohol, etc.) and I get to sit in the back w00t!

4th) Visual Basic: Not sure about the teacher… she seems to have just learned visual basic last year or so… but I can’t confirm that as a fact. The entire class is made up of guys… some who actually want to learn Visual Basic, and others who are just there because they needed another credit. We’ve only had the computers on twice in the past week… they’re Gateways with P4s (with HT), 256Mb Ram, Uknown Hard Drive Space, Networked togeather behind a SonicWall to the internet. I have yet to test out the SSH tunnel I built (Putty and Portable Firefox)…. so they can’t watch my browsing. (The Handbook says that you gotta let them see what you’re doing… but it dosn’t say that you gotta make it easy ;-) )

5th) Study Hall, Lunch, More Study Hall: My Study hall teacher is Usually a Chem teacher. Shee seems to have inhaled too many fumes if you ask me. I think she’s that one teacher that you don’t want to make angry… Already given out at least two detentions. During Lunch, I sit with my uber-weird friends… locatable by Monica’s bright purple hair and get a small lunch… since the “regular” lunch lines are long, and serve mystery dishes.

6th) English: The Teacher in this class seems to be… err… yeh. The Rumor is that he’s vegitarian and like ghandi re-encarnated. With our notebooks, he addressed the clas with this remark:

“You may decorate your notebooks however you want, but I dont want to see blood, gore, or swastikas on them… however Cute little puppy dogs and hearts are ok”

Anyways… there’s a lot of people who are about 8 bits short of a byte in that class… and more that one have been to Juvy. 3 people in that class I might concider good aquantences… Vikki, Derek, and some gothic girl from some catholic school who insists on sitting with my friends and I at lunch.

7th) Gym: I have Mr. S. again. He Hates me. Probably because I’m not the “OK WE’RE GONNA GO PLAY FOOTBALL! AND WE’RE GONNA WIN! AND IT’S GONNA BE THE BEST THING EVER!” type of guy. This year we gotta swim and I’m wondering whats growing in that water *twitch*. How many snickers bars will It take before they give up on cleaning the pool?

8th) Honors Biology: The Teacher is slightly Cryptic… but eventually tells you in plain english what she means… hopefully she’ll do this before the tests.

The New Blog

Filed under: Blog — jimX @ 2:20 pm Edit This

Ok… so after working with my firend Monica on her new site, I decided to give wordpress a try for my blog. Before, I just had a basic HTML-by-hand blog, and it want the greatest. In about 13 months, I had 17 entries… the last one being from May 16th, 2005. I’ll try to keep this one current… no promises though.

More to come soon!

UPDATE:
I’m Transferring my Old blog into WordPress…. this should be fun.

Ok… done… I skipped a few pointless ones though.
