The faucets in my shower don't shut off all the way, so they drip constantly. Currently the money is not there to get them replaced. Simple fixes have been tried before, but the entire faucet simply needs to be replaced. I'm not in the bathroom enough for the dripping to bother me, however as the droplets reach the bottom, they splash all over the floor and sides of the tub. Because the tub is constantly damp, it is prone to growing things. I don't like things growing in my shower :). It is time for a solution!

Things I built that aren't always tech. They may be ugly but they get the job done.

I don't remember how I got here, but I started playing around with http://widgets.yahoo.com/Yahoo Widgets, formerly known as Konfabulator. Judging by the number of widgets available, they didn't look like they were too hard to write, so I downloaded the SDK. Today, I announce my first widget.

Its official, I'm crazy. I'm finally going through with my idea to stuff a PC inside of my bookshelf stereo.

Every so often I receive PayPal and Citibank phishing messages. A quick look around with google didn't turn up a whole lot. There are a few sites (such as http://www.antiphishing.org/ ) to report phishing, but I found next-to-nothing on what the ordinary person can do beyond filing a report. Generally when I get a phishing message I'll report it to the proper authorities and then fill out the fake "Paypal" or "Citibank" form with snide comments in all the fields. This got me to thinking, what if we filled in so much false data that they couldn't find the good data? It could be called stuffing, sort of like stuffing a ballot box such that the ballot counters can't tell which votes are real and which aren't.

Just trying out the comments. I really should add an Anonymous user or something, TWikiGuest is not allowed to post because of spam.
