So, I’m in talking to my dad and I notice roto-router is making some noise… so I check my logs and I see a stream of packet deny messages from a cnm addy. I hop into #ugf for the first time since the battle with james and gilli, to see who’s on that ip… I glance down the list and I whois didi, gilli, dalbert, and what’s this?! gn0me is on… heh, sure enough!

So I ask gn0me if he’s having fun portscanning me… he says no, not yet… I told him he was getting blocked and that I figured he got about as much info as he was going to get and he cut the scan off. I cat’ed the messages file, greped it for that ip, and output to a file… over 250k! damn, man!

So, I told him the ports that I have open, and the ports that he’d be able to hit through gte’s filters… he had to run, though.

That was somewhat entertaining… some nice clean fun.

I’ve killed the links to the goldcam in the nav bar and on the main page. I never use it, and I don’t really plan to for a while.

The comic is in stasis, I’m waiting for things to calm down to the point that I know who and what I can draw appropriately.

A canadian named Bob has been in touch with me about Bobism. He’s spreading the word.

My surgery from a couple weeks back… well, I had all the stitches removed, but it’s been slightly infected. There’s a chance that this will cause it to end up right back where we started, and I’ll have to go to a plastic surgeon this time to have it done again… Fun, fun fun!

I’m re-reading “Assasin’s Apprentice“. Its a good series, go read it.

I quaked with james a bit tonight. He was doing a damn fine job as pyro. He only killed me once (with a nicely bounced grenade, in the stairs from the water), but he was doing some damage, which is all a pyro can really expect.

James, Xinc and I went out to CityWalk and saw The Matrix at their IMAX theatre. It was nice; dark, pan and scan, and blurry at times, but the sound was AWESOME!

I picked up a copy of Ultima Online today, been interested in the game since it came out… I may have given up what was left of my life. 😉
