I have to give Amanda Kudo’s here for this blog entry. She has a point. And I don’t think the so called “complaining fans” fully understand how hard it is for someone like her to make a living in her chosen field.

Give her a break people.

I know damn well if you were in her situation and the same opportunities presented themselves to make a little extra money to help offset the expenses of traveling the planet to Entertain “US”, you would do the same thing.

Don’t change Amanda. Do what you need to. Your true fan base will understand and continue to support you in all you do.

Then after reading on www.getsatisfaction.com that I was not alone [...]]]>

Well I got suspended from Twitter for going on 9 days now. Never got one response from their “Support”. Just a standard auto response the first day saying we are looking into your account. Then nothing. No matter how many requests for help I sent.. Nada…

Then after reading on www.getsatisfaction.com that I was not alone and the only way to resolve this was to create a “ghost” account and send in another support ticket. It said they respond to active accounts rather quickly.

Well guess what?

I created A “Ghost” account this morning and sent in a support request to fix my original account.

And guess what?

Within 30 minutes of the creation of my “ghost” account and sending in the request from there for help for my old account.

It was “MAGICALLY” restored.

Again without so much as a “Sorry, Fuck you we are busy, Who are you again to demand help”?

Oh well at least I and my Red are back in Twitter land again…

Peace Out

Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain, perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside– that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star stuff. We are the Universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out.

Man talk about a flashback. I was just answering some questions about the early internet and forms of communication with Red.

As the answers were forth coming the subconscious went on this trip back in time to when I used to have my BBS ( Starfire”s Universe , later to be known as CyberNexus ). The whole world of pain and suffering I went through from 300 baud modems to my first connection to the internet.

To remember all that and then look at the global communities we connect to today.

I remember my first glimpse at the “internet” through a web browsing program called “Lynx”. Completely text driven, and getting the reports of perhaps 2,000 web pages total. Then watch it grow exponentially as time moved on.

One of these days I am going to have to go resurrect that old BBS of mine. It is still backed up on old DAT tapes. I think I still have almost every version of windows from 2.0 to now. I know I have an old copy of Netscape v.99.

Yeah I hardly ever toss stuff out.. lol

Peace Out,

The anonymous writer of a prominent blog which lampoons Apple boss Steve Jobs has been unmasked.

The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, in which the writer pretended to be the Apple chief executive, has become a must-read for technology watchers.

After months of speculation, the New York Times reported that the writer was Daniel Lyons, a senior editor at business magazine Forbes.

Despite the unmasking, the diary will continue but on the Forbes website.

Mr Lyons, who writes about technology, told the New York Times: “I’m stunned that it’s taken this long (to discover my identity).”

‘Ruined mystery’

He said he had had to buy books and biographies to “learn about a lot of the back story” of Apple.

Writing as Steve Jobs on the blog, Mr Lyons said: “Now you’ve ruined the mystery of Fake Steve, robbing thousands of people around the world of their sense of childlike wonder.”

He added: “Apple faithful, here in our darkest hour I know what you’re thinking: What’s next for FSJ?

“Well, I’m taking a few days off to sit in a lake and do some yoga and meditation and non-thinking. Then I’m coming back next week, badder than ever, with a new sponsor – my homeboys at Forbes.com.”

Mr Lyons told the newspaper that the blog was intended as an experiment to find out what happened if a company chief executive kept a blog and told the truth.

The journalist has used the blog to poke fun at many different figures in the technology industry, including Oracle’s Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, and Google’s Eric Schmidt.

The real Steve Jobs and Bill Gates admitted to reading the blog.

According to the Wall Street Journal, half of the 20 most inventive towns in the US are in Silicon Valley.

Nowadays the place is not just about silicon chip makers; all technology is here.

It is a string of satellite towns full of clever people, incredibly successful tech companies, and hopefuls looking to make the big time.

This place was the center of the dotcom bubble of the mid 90s, when investors were pouring money into anything with a dot in the title. Of course it was also the hardest hit when the bubble burst. For every surviving big player, hundreds went under.

Now the optimism is back, along with the money.
