  • Kristall weiss

    Kristall weiss

    I’m currently sitting in a teeny tiny pub in Bonn (Germany), drinking something called a Kristall weiss, which according to the bar tender is apparently like a regular weissbier, but it’s filtered so it doesn’t have the cloudy weissbier thing going on. Imma starting to feel a little drunk 😉

  • Ross Ulbricht, alleged owner of Silk Road has been arrested

    At 29 years of age, Ross William Ulbricht has been charged with running Silk Road.

    What confuses me, is that these are supposedly the ways he got caught. All of which seem like trivial things that he should never have been doing.

    • He avertised Silk Road on drug forums and bitcointalk.org with the username “altoid”, then eight months later used the same username whilst looking for developers, along with his personal email address.
    • The FBI used a seized web server to track through a VPN to an IP address at a coffee shop near a friend of his.
    • USA customs found a package containing nine counterfeit ID’s, all of which had photos of Ross Ulbricht, but with different names.
    • He posted a question using his real name on Stack Overflow about using Tor hidden services using Curl in PHP, then changed his name a few minutes later.

    Here is a snapshot from his LinkedIn page, in case it is taken down at some point.

  • Elementary OS

    Testing out Elementary OS. First task … install Nginx, PHP and MySQL so that I can run WordPress on it 🙂

    I’m running it on a dog slow Dell Vostro 1510. Despite the laptop being stupidly slow, the operating system is running very quick indeed, much faster than stock Ubuntu.

    If things go to plan, I may switch from Ubuntu to Elementary OS on my MacBook Air too.

    Vegetables

    I ate almost nothing but vegetables for a week and felt awful. I ate nothing but carbohydrates on the weekend and now I feel great. I think I’ll stick with the carbohydrates from now on 🙂
