Undead Deliciousness: Zombie Torso Gelatin Mold

William — Sat, 30 May 2009 05:56:50 +0000

I must confess a fondness for tasty gelatinous desserts but the usual shapes are so damned boring, fortunately, Think Geek have us covered with this nice little crawling zombie torso gelatin mold. As it is made from high impact food-grade styrene, it is not dishwasher safe, but it should stand up to a few desserts if you treat it nicely.

Hosting Company Closure Sees Spam Almost Stop

William — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:27:40 +0000

Spam volume has significantly declined since hosting company McColo went down on Tuesday night. The site went down after four months of investigation by security experts and an investigative piece by Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs, which claimed that 75% of all spam was being sent via the hosting service.

From CNET:

Jose Nazario of Arbor Networks, a company that monitors botnet activity, speculated that McColo vanished at around 9 a.m. Eastern time on November 10. Botnets are frequently used to relay spam, and McColo may have hosted some of the command and control servers necessary to coordinate spam campaigns.

I didn’t really believe it myself until I checked my spam box today. I had 12 in there for Tuesday, 8 for Wednesday and none as of 3:08 p.m. today. That strikes me as a victory in my book, but it will no doubt be short-lived. [Washington Post, CNET] Image [Message Labs]

Keep the Dream Alive: Snooze Button Love Celebrated in a Tasteful T-shirt

William — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 21:24:42 +0000

This T-shirt speaks to me. Most days my snooze button gets hit at least twice. Today, however, courtesy of a late night Dexter marathon it was hit repeatedly for a full hour, thanks to a late night Dexter marathon that had me up until 2am with a 6am start.

Battlestar Galactica PC Is The Best Case Mod I’ve Ever Seen

William — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:46:44 +0000

This post is syndicated with permission from GamerFront.net

A lot of people decide to make modifications to their PC case, and they turn out alright. Other people decide to go all-out, and you’re left with a creation that can only be described as “pure awesome”. This Battlestar Galactica PC mod falls into the latter category.

This machine has just about everything you could imagine, right down to functioning runway lights. You’ll find 3 2.5-inch LCD screens, and a nice 10-inch LCD screen on the side, just in case you’ve forgotten a full-sized one. Even more impressive is the slot-loading optical drive hidden behind the Battlestar Galactica medallion. I can’t even imagine the sort of time and effort it took to put this together. Kudos to Boddaker, the mastermind behind this incredible project.
