Well I was trying to log into live.pirillo via the Wyldryde irc chat connection. I ran into a bit of an issue. Some how the site scrambled my password.

I headed to the help command “/nickserv help”. The list showed that by typing “/nickserv SENDPASS” it would send my password to my email account so I can verify that I typed it properly. If it was not the proper password I would just go ahead and use the password I typoed. but no, that did not happen, the instant replay was “SENDPASS command unavailable because encryption is in use”. I of course humored by the irony of the no/help post into the chatroom a quote of this error nottice, meanwhile the server keeps changing my name to unidentified, but chatzilla kept trying to sign me back. no less than two seconds after I posted the statement, a low level moderator decides to tell me it isn’t stupid, then kicks me out of the room. I am shocked that he flipped out instead of helping out, I come back and of course “mouse” decides that he hasn’t proven himself a man yet so he goes on to make threats. I have no idea what has him so hot. So I say in some foul words “untill they removes a person like you from moderation, I will not be coming back” and I leave.. What’s he do??? He goes to an unassociated venue that he and I are both signed for, of course he is a moderator there, and he locks my account Geek Pirillo.

Chris clearly does not know this going on and my messages are getting intercepted before they get to him.

Here is the chat log.

I also was logged in on another account called “kline_raider”.

I mean I can act a complete fool like anyone and make this really hard on everyone, but I’m not doing this.

I am trying to get it resolved.

Reasons not to Aprove the H.R.6123

May 19th, 2009 Tech News No comments

For those who do not know what the H.R.6123 bill is, let me break it down for you.
There was a girl who was stalked , and flirted with by a woman pretending to be a boy the same age as the girl. The woman was the mother of another girl who lost a cheer leading contest to the stalked girl. The woman flirted with the stalked girl then one day got very cold and mean to the girl. Girl killed herself. Here is the bill on Open Congress.
I totally agree that the family of the child who killed herself need some sort of comfort knowing the death of their child can be turned into something good. I would want the same, but these people who are backing this do not understand how the internet works. The description is to broad and vague. There are tons of boys and girls who learn so much every day with just a simple battle of witts. Arguing, flaming and trolling on the internet. It opens their minds to a new range of thought. Without conflict and contrast, we all agree. If we all agree we do not learn from each other. Some people learn from a pleasant suggestion, many learn from brute force. Telling someone they are a moron for thinking the world is flat, pretty much tells the world ” hey don’t bother with this thread, this guys is a joke” . If it was not for the flamers, our world would only be trolls.
Here is an explanation of a troll .
Trolls are people who post false information, not always to harm anyone, but to just get some sort of thrill out of confusing people, or misleading and or misinforming. Flamers are people who tell them to “stfu gtfo” if “H.R.6123″ is passed, then the trolls are left and the flamers are lobotomized. The problem of the troll or some corrupt evil rude person is left to the owner of the site to liable for.
The last frontier will have a flag in it that claims ” you can not argue, you can not fight you will go to jail”.

This bill needs to be scrapped. In fact, any bill that The ex president’s wife tries to pass is a publicity stunt and needs to be looked at again, she is the one who backed jack Thompson, and then stopped associating as soon as she ran for president. She just used that Censorship stunt to get the attention of the elderly who have no idea what computers are good for . People who lived full happy lives without it. But forgot that by the time she hit the polls, the kids she turned against, where old enough to vote now.

This “H.R.6123″ needs to be rejected and a statue of the girl harmed needs to be put up at her school in her memory. The school is where it started. Let’s not remove the world’s freedom for the satisfaction of revenge on one lady. What one calls a bully, others call em a punk. Know there are things going on that balance it 90% of the time.

Notice I say no one’s name.. In case this bill is accepted.

Anatomy of Internet Trolling

May 11th, 2009 Tech News 2 comments

We need to define a troll before we move to far into the topic. A troll is someone who joins a site that allows questions answers and common responses in oppositions or along with agreement to the original post, but instead of following format and protocol, the troll initiates a fight. Think of Fishing from a boat that is moving slowly through water. you do not have to cast out and reel in repeatedly, because the bait is dragging behind the boat. Eventually something will bite. The main goal of a troll is to look as innocent as possible while posting something off the wall, that he himself finds funny but confusing to others who are foolish enough to fall for this trolling.
The ultimate goal is to lead someone into arguing with the troll. If executed correctly, the troll will look innocent, and the dummy who fell for it, will look like he started a fight with someone who has a legitimate question about whether or not you can use skittles as ball barrings in your skateboard. This in turn leads the fooled forum goer, banned from the site for being a jerk. End result is the trolls win and there is no one left within the forum to talk to so the trolls go away. Final result: the website/forum/chatroom is now dead and all page views have stopped.
A simple minded Explanation of how to troll
How to Identify a troll.
In most cases they either have no avatar, or are using an avatar from the website. Instead of a personal choice uploaded from their location.
Watch their grammar. If you can create an account, you can form a sentence.
If you are better at speaking another language, chances are your legitimate post would be on a site based on your language.
Typos like (teh) do not count, quite common, even in hospitals.
Usually no signature, if there is a signature, either a gag link to a bad site, or something that makes fun of another person. That should be your first clue ( this person is a jerk)
The post is made, and the person is no longer signed in. Why do they do this? So they can change to another account and probably respond, to look and or sound as if they agree to the trolling post. Why? because it will question your judgment. Two verses one, who is wrong?
The dead horse. If there is something that has been almost forgotten that is a bad omen for the site you are on, they will bring it up. Repeatedly. That ip address needs to be banned. Yes it is a factual event, but let the horse decay already.
Brand New account. No you can not ban everyone for being new. But you can ban people for being new and acting like a retard. Easy answer, log into their account (as admin or moderator), change their password (switch first letter with last letter) .

How to Prevent Trolls
You can’t really unless you just don’t make a website.
They are a huge part of the internet, they actually do add an alternative thought behind a lot of stuff. Most of the time they have no idea how deep what they are saying is, they just spout out like an a.d.d. child with a bag of sugar and a pot of room temp coffee. So they say a lot of stuff and remember none of it. You on the other hand before you know it’s a troll are actually considering some of the stuff they say. It gives you ideas. If you write them down before you realize you have been duped, you may actually be on to something. Good chances you will be upset enough to forget everything until the troll is abolished.

If you need help with understanding more things about a forum/chatroom
Post here it’s free no hassle, I will be more than glad to help

Will Google Buy Twitter?

April 4th, 2009 TruXter No comments

Looks like examiner thinks so.

Tech Crunch thinks it is a maybe deal

So does pc world

I myself Have been thinking for a while that it probably should have happened a while back.
The big issue is everyone says that twitter has no market. Yes they do. It’s 100% plain simple advertisement already.
Twitter should have had adsense on the top of every page in the script from the start. they would have easily cleared as much money as google could offer by now. But they played it smart and pointed at nothing but keeping the users happy. Sad think is, whom ever is to purchase twitter, will have a goal different of the twitter group, so expect to see some changes. what made it popular will no longer be there. The freedom to post at no cost, without intrusive ads. We hoard to that kind of atmosphere. Now we all wait with our fingers on our twitter aps in our cell phones, and wonder when we have to uninstall it.

From what I see at TechCrunch it’s a one man show with building that ap.
but Says he is taking on twitter with it.
Compares to a few others.
Not sure if we are supposed to say “Jively” or Jive-l-y =-\
We will see after the snobs fondle it for a while and tell us if it’s cool or not
(aka the not so techy crew who bang with rocks can’t figure out, call stupid and walk away guys)

LOL just kidding. Try it out, tell me what you think.

Try the Video addon and images, tell me how you liked it and what you found.
Is it better than Twitter?
