Cave People

Mentioned more recently on the new AJ00200 blog in an article titled Our Tax Dollars at Work

It amazes me that every 2 years people everywhere come out of their caves. What do they do? The watch TV and do exactly what it tells them. Sadly, event occurs right before the election of the new congress and these people have had no idea what has gone on in the political world the past 2 years. The come out and vote however the television ads tell them to.
It is because of this that America has set itself up to be mislead, to be confuse, and to fail. The people who can afford the most advertisement are the exact people we don't want in Washington. These are the corporate lobbyists, namely, the Republican Party, who favor big business and have made many promises to these corporation for tax cuts in order to get the money they used to fund their campaign.

This wouldn't be near as bad if the Republicans were running a fair campaign, but instead they have only pointed out things that have went wrong in the past 2 years and blamed it on the Democrats. How is this fair? Democrats have been cleaning up their mess. Democrats were handed the worst economy since the great depression walking in the door. The Republicans caused the mess, and when the Democrats are finally cleaning it up and the economy is recovering, they want to come back in to mess it up again!
I don't know why anyone would vote for the Republicans after what they did to us, but apparently all the Cave People who make up most of the eligible voters favor their corporate funded ad campaign.

The Democrats need all the help they can get if we are to continue to get the economy back on its feet. We've made it this far and I'm not backing down now! I urgently need your help. You need to vote for your Democratic candidate this election if you want to continue to live in an economy controlled by the people and not by corporate monopolists!

Ghostery

The Firefox Ghostery Addon is a must for anyone who values privacy. It allows you to be notified of and disable just about every tracking program used on the Internet. such as Google Analytics, Google Adsense, and 348 others! It does seem to have a problem on images.google.com, but using the classic version link at the bottom fixes this.

Ubunu 10.10

Ubuntu 10.10 is out, not much different than the last version, but the new Ubuntu Font does look quite cool. Not much of a reason to rush to get the download, but it is definitely not a waste since there is a lot of other programs updated with it.

Ubuntu 10.10 released on 10/10/2010

BBot 5.0 Release Coming Late

Well, it turns out the the BBot 5.0 release will be coming late. There has been a new, unexpected bug in the API that has not been noticed because the feature is little used. I may end up releasing this version with the bug as it is not a security problem, but it could get really nasty if left unchecked for even longer.

Either way, hopefully I will be able to release this version soon.
