The Pirate Bay is down,
defeated and sold.
The Internet halted.
Well, it seems that TPB is down since this morning. Court order, technical problems... Who cares? They are now corporate sold-outs anyway.
The intertubez are wise, they will reroute themselves around the blackhole left by The Pirate Bay.
I already started rerouting my bittorrent traffic, you will be wise doing the same.
Here you have a hint, and another one.
Esta imagen resume lo que pienso de la basura literaria que nos invade ultimamente...
A year without writing. Life getting in the way. Or maybe writing getting in the way? Who knows...
To make things worse, the Wordpress hack pandemic has been skyrocketing. Really ugly stuff. To the point that I have been forced to clean the wordpress installation from infection 5 times in a year. That's almost twice a month. Not even our crappy friend Windows is so prone to infection. Outrageous.
Whenever I felt like posting a little bit, I couldn't. And by the time I was done cleaning up the mess, the mood was gone. So, change was needed, and I decided to switch to Movable Type, whose security record is particularly good.
During the switch, the encoding of the older entries went rogue again. In a final effort to become totally useless, wordpress managed to bring up again the whole UTF-8 vs Latin1 encoding fiasco. Whoopy shit. Thankfully, it is the last time will happen. Bye bye Wordpress.
So, expect a deep cleaning of the older entries. I will reformat some of them, probably delete a lot of them, and definitely write more from now on. By the way, I moved to Brazil. South American stamps where missing from my passport, so I decided to give it a try. Now there is only Antarctica left...
A haiku, from one of the four great masters, feels appropiate for ending this post:
though I'm loving
these travels of mine...
it's cold!
