Feel a bit dirty but what the hell. Some blogger pointed me to this scheme to increase traffic to any blog with Stumbleupon. Lets see what happens.
–START COPYING HERE–
Here are the rules:
1. Copy from “START COPYING HERE” to “STOP COPYING HERE”.
2. Add your site(s) to the list. Just be sure to post the “StumbleWorthy List” at each site you add.
3. Let me know your blog’s name and url by leaving me a comment HERE. I will add you to the master list.
4. Come back and copy the master list back to your site, often. This will allow the new comers to achieve equal benefit as the late comers do.
5. Register in StumbleUpon and install the toolbar.
6. Go to the sites found on the list and give them a thumb up (I like it!).
7. Add me as your friend in StumbleUpon: Blanne.
Note: Your url will be deleted in the Master List if you do not comply to the given rules.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE LIST. OR CLICK HERE TO GET A BANNER THAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR BLOG. THE MORE PARTICIPANTS, THE GREATER INCREASE IN TRAFFIC!

The guy second from the right is undergoing ‘therapy’ for internet addiction. From a collection of pictures on National Geographic taken by Fritz Hoffmann.
Had an interesting half an hour conversation with a reformed drug addict yesterday which really opened my eyes. He pointed out so many things to me that I would normally not think about. I just hope that the summary below does justice to the greatness of this man.
1. “To climb out of the hole that I was in, nearly ended my life.”
2. “Now that I am out, I learnt never to judge others. I have lived for a time surrounded by active users and when I see them, I never feel that I am better than them in any way. I know my roots and am fully aware that I do not possess the mental nor physical ability to change the world. I just want to help.”
3. “Never give money to junkies. I would rather buy them a meal if I am financially capable on that day. If they ask for bus fare, I will give them a ride instead. I know how their minds work seeing that I used to be one of them. They will just use any small amount of money to feed their habits.”
4. “All of us come from our mothers but more importantly I remember being born again when I finally stopped using”
5. “Everyday is a constant struggle to not go back to the habit. I have to work at it every single day of my life.”
6. “Life is so very different now that I am drug-free. No more living in constant fear of the authorities. No more shying away from the light. No more avoiding eye contact. Its just a huge burden lifted off my back.”
To this man who shall remain anonymous, I salute you!
Clay Shirky is a tech author who came out with a book recently called “Here Comes Everybody” in which he delves into ’social technology’ and how the internet has made that possible. This morning I got a link to a transcript of a talk he gave at the Web 2.0 Expo in which he expounds on the ‘cognitive surplus’ or in simplistic terms, the free time that modern technology handed to us on a silver platter. The message turned my head like an early morning jolt of caffeine. Read on.
Funny, funny stuff!
I have been playing around with the new-fangled Ubuntu 8.04 for the past 2 hours and things have been smooth so far except for some minor issues with wifi. Same old, same old. Fortunately it was nothing that the regulars over at the Ubuntu forums have not seen and it took all of 5 minutes to resolve the issue.
In an attempt to win over Windows teetotalers, you can now try out or even install Ubuntu from within the Microsoft OS. No more messing around with partitioning and reformatting. The heron will live quite happily within a directory in Windows XP (don’t have Vista but I need that like I need a hole in my skull). During boot up the loader will default to Windows with the Ubuntu option just below it.
The new default background shows an abstract rendering of …… what else, a heron!
Talk about stating the obvious. Otherwise, things are still as brown as it has always been. The almost perfect Firefox 3 beta 5 is thoughtfully bundled into the OS and in my books thats a plus. Installing the proprietary ATI driver was a breeze and compared to previous versions, without incident.
On the downside the OS has locked up twice on me already; once when I was installing the Adobe flash plugin for Firefox and another time when I was adjusting the time zones for the system clock. Don’t know what happened but it happened.
All in all an A minus experience.
Download the heron here.
The point is not whether they are doctored or not. Its that they will make you laugh!
Must have barbeque accessories.

Ok this is upsetting. My Hotmail account seems to have been compromised. I have just received an email from my Hotmail account to my YahooMail. Looking at the “TO” part of the message, a copy of the mail has been sent to all the contacts in my Hotmail account. The subject is a simple ‘hi’ and there is a link to some dubious Chinese website selling electronic gadgets eg iPhone etc. I feel so violated.
Take a gander at this guy’s sci-fi influenced illustrations. Stunning stuff!
