Perl module - Net::SenderBase

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

Net::SenderBase::Results - Results of a senderbase query - search.cpan.org
This module is a read-only results object, giving you access to the results of a senderbase query. The only way to construct one of these objects is from a query.

Senderbase.org is a very handy site for finding out if an IP address belongs to a spammer, or just general DNS / IP ownership queries.

Christmas Special: Interview with Athene

General Information - Athene is a paladin on Emeriss, but not just any paladin. His 5v5 team has dominated the realm for quite some time now being number one in the arena ladders.

This is in World of Warcraft.

Interviewer: What was your childhood like? Anything interesting you want to share?
Athene: Well i played ultima online for 6 years thats where i learned to become pro, and before that i played alot of console games like sega atari, so from when i was a kid i was alot into gaming.

Oh dear

Interviewer: How would your friends describe you?
Athene: A god in gaming,

Ha ha.

Interviewer: How are you going to spend the Christmas holidays?
Athene: Depends, if my arena team is on i will pwn some nubs in arena and tell them happy christmass, if they aren’t on i might spend some quality time with my bitch leveling her char with her

I’m unconvinced his “bitch” is a woman.

PicardTagger - MusicBrainz

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Picard is the next generation MusicBrainz tagging application. This new tagging concept is album oriented, as opposed to track/file oriented like the ClassicTagger was. Picard is written in Python, which is a cross-platform language, and makes use of cross-platform libraries - this allows the same code to run both on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Just been using this to tag some badly behaved mp3s… it works very well.

Pigeon Action Group = losers

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

BBC NEWS | England | London | Tests ’show pigeons are starving’
Post-mortem tests carried out by a government laboratory show pigeons in Trafalgar Square are starving to death, according to a campaign group.

So what, should all animal populations be artificially sustained? Are pigeons an endangered species? Maybe we should eat more of them.
