I’m such a nerd. Sadly, I still live at home. This software can be useful for two reasons.
1) You have a smartphone with a camera and can’t afford a webcam.
2) You live at home and your parents don’t approve of webcams, but don’t mind you connecting your phone to the pc.
I, sadly, fall in the second category. So, I downloaded Webcamera Plus ( mininova .torrent link ) and can now use my innocent little blackjack as a webcam. If a dissapprover comes in, I am simply syncing my phone contacts. HA! Yep. Ima dork. Have fun!
Ok, how stupid do you have to be to bury your head in sand and not know that you will not be able to breathe.
As you can see in the video below, there are some dumb ass kids in this world.
After watching this, I decided to go around and see if kids just don’t know better or was this a case of dumb ass parents raising dumb ass kids.
I asked some kids from the ages of 10-13 what would happen if you buried you head under sand.
All of them replied you would die.
So looks like this world is rid of another stupid person.
So if any parents out there read this….
Don’t raise stupid fucking kids, and if you have a stupid fucking kid then you need to watch him or her at all times.
OK, If I have been doing a good job, you shouldn’t even know this. But SOOO many people come to my site, trying to harvest email addresses, they try to spam, and I have even had people ATTEMPT to dos a certain website, using my website…..
scroll down to the bottom of this page, that’s a big number, isn’t it?
To anyone who has this type of problem, here are some tips to help stop spam/abuse (no, I am not talking about email spam)..
1. Join ProjectHoneyPot. This website, you can install a simple script that catches email harvesters, comment spammers, and even email spammers (I have one installed). Every IP address that it recordes is made PUBLICLY available. Then you can have a script like I do that blocks EVERYONE that is on that list. This is my 1st line of defense.
2. Bad Behavior. I Love this.. I am not sure what it all works for, but there is a version of bad behavior for word press, this is what you see at the bottom of the page (scroll down). This script analyzes where each and every visitor comes from, it checks what browser, and many other different factors and blocks all bots (except good ones, like google). This DRAMATICALLY reduces bandwidth..
3. My last line of defense against comment spam… Akismet. I am not saying that because it is my last line of defense, that is it least effective, because it is great. If, by chance, that a bot or someone gets past 1, or 2, there an extremely good chance they will not get past this. This checks every comment against a database that is always evolving to see if it is spam. If it passes, your comment makes the cut, and is posted.
BTW, all this happens in less than a second, pretty cool, eh?

OK everyone, I know I haven’t been active on here, but finals are over with now, so I am back.
I cooked up something, it’s a PHP emailer. With this you can send anonymous emails to any email address. We don’t ‘brand’ our emails, so the message they get, is exactly what you send, and nothing more.
The messages are sent from ‘anonymous@psidude.com’ … this is to keep spam filters from filtering emails that come from servers that didn’t actually send it. If you want me to change this, leave a comment.
psidude.com/mailer/
have fun
this has also been added to the ‘tools’ at the top of the screen.
Someone sent me this. That chick Hayden Panettiere, off of some show?, is evidently a bit of a nerd. she apparently likes cold fusion. look at this photo:
OK, one tool is ready, I installed a cgi proxy (btw, new version that came out a few days ago, great improvements that most people don’t have yet). This proxy will allow you to log onto myspace, facebook and so on while at school, OR you can use it to be anonymous, both work for me, as long as you don’t do illegal things with it! please try to spread it, and let me know if there is anything that doesn’t work right as a comment, or email me psidude@psidude.com
The reason I am not calling it the psidude proxy is because some of the more “spiffy” filters will filter any url with the word ‘proxy’ or ‘myspace’ or… so on in it
HA! Yep. Ima dork. Have fun!
Why do people love spaming my site?
