Gmail invites! How bad do you deserve one?
Monday, June 21, 2004 1:00 PM

Well, I got some Gmail invites to give away! Ala Marcie and Chris I'll be giving them away, but you must do a little work to get them.

I'll do two invites in this contest, post here or email me at christoc a@t gmail with your stories. Be creative, original, and most of all FUNNY!

I've got more to give away, but will be using them on a contest on another web site that I run for racing.

Attention, I've got GMail!!!!

Thanks to Chris*oc I've got Gmail! Marcie had a little contest last week to give away two GMail invites, I submitted this picture to Marci's little contest, but failed to win! Lucky for me Chris posted a comment in Marci's blog that he also had some invites to give away.

A big thanks to Chris! It's kind of funny how close our chosen names are, mine being christoc and his being chrisoc. Wierd eh?

If I get any Gmail invites to give away I'll be sure to return to the favor with a little contest of my own!

Group sues over cell phone locking...

I like to see this.

Maybe if the lawsuit goes through I'll get some money back for restitution. I can dream can't I?

Copy Protection on CDs
Tuesday, June 08, 2004 2:40 PM

Velvet Revolver's new CD Contraband is out today. It's got copy protection on it from Sunncomm. It really is pretty pathetic how easy it is to circumvent that protection. I merely did this for backup purposes, but could just have easily done it for distributing it on a p2p network.

If you're interested in reading about my attempt and success of this check out this post. I keep it from the aggregate feed to keep people from getting TOO upset about the topic.

I am in no way supporting the illegal distribution of media, just showing how things can be sidestepped.

DON'T Copy music! Pay for all of your own music!

Honoring Ronald Reagan

I don't usually try to post political topics here, but today is a sad day. Ronald Reagan has passed away.

May his memory live on in everything this country stands for.

City Of Heroes anyone? Almost time to fly!
Thursday, June 03, 2004 8:35 AM

I realize this is a technology focused blog, but I'm reaching out to my tech bretheran here for a little fun.

Anyone here play City of Heroes? I purchased it last night and played for about 4 hours before I finally had to make myself go to bed. I have played a MMPORG in a long time, I started when everquest first came out and played for a few months. Played a little EQ on the PS2 during the beta phase, but stopped once it wasn't free anymore. Then I purchased Star Wars Galaxies and played it exactly one time!

City of Heroes on the otherhand will be getting played over and over again, I can feel it.

If anyone else out there plays, let me know, I'm on the “Guardian” server, name's Nacirema.
