I really see the mark down in the price of guitar hero here...

During all of this recent global economic kerfuffle one of the more recent retail closures in the UK has been music and games retailer Zavvi. I went in today and took the above picture of their so called ‘Closing down sale’…

Reading University - Black Hore House

This picture was taken swiftly by me on an open day.

Could prospective undergraduates and parents then have a completely different view on the University’s on-campus hotel, ‘Black Horse House’ ‘doubling up as a brothel?

Only time will tell…

Sri Lankan Air Force caught phishing! http://www.microplop.com/post/scoop-sri-lankan-air-force-caught-phishing/ http://www.microplop.com/post/scoop-sri-lankan-air-force-caught-phishing/#comments Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:29:08 +0000 Andy Callaghan My friend Eri got an spam email from ‘bank’ the other day. When he open the email out of interest, followed the link, the following error came up:

Sri Lanka Air Force caught phishing!

If you see above, the server claims to be from this site:

http://www.slaf.gov.lk

Annoyingly, he deleted the email — so I have no actual proof… other than three witnesses!!

I took the song Baby Got Back, originally mastered by Sir Mix-a-Lot, loungified by Richard Cheese, and then defaced it by replacing words in the song to reflect sandwich making or eating.

I hope it doesn’t annoy/offend/sadden you too much!

Andy Callaghan – Baby got Sandwiches Ft. Richard Cheese. Lyrics by Sir Mix-a-Lot.

The AACS have been recently quashing bloggers, directories and search engines over the discovered keys, giving cease and desist letter to those who infringe upon the copyright.

However, a rebellion is starting on the world famous Digg website. Initially, Digg's stance was to remove any stories linking the keys. As more users became aware of Digg censoring the story, the owner and founder of Digg, Kevin Rose, decided to come outright with it. In a bold move he titled a new blog entry with the key it self in.

This is one of the most corniest things I’ve seen in a long time, but they say it’s ‘visionary’.
