A Peculiar Blog

Recently I wrote about a project Modifying Thingamablog For Freenet 0.5 and while I have not yet been able to solve the puzzle of how to make the needed mods for the current version of Thingamablog, I have run into a problem with the templates.
Thingamablog uses tags within the templates that need to be converted [...]

When I started my first blog, I was using thingamablog to do it with. I’ve long since converted to WordPress but I remember it well. It was actually a decent program.
Then on the latest edition of the flog “My Two Cents Worth(freenet link*)” there’s talk of a version that’s been modified so that [...]

First, I’ll quote the “official” announcement that appeared on the Freenet support list this morning:

Japan’s four main Internet provider organizations have gotten together and worked out an arrangement where they’re going to be cutting Internet access to people using the “WinNy” P2P file sharing program.

This is a few days old and I wish I’d gotten to it sooner but better late than never.

I recently received an email asking about something I said on my unofficial freenet 0.5 download page. After answering, I decided that it’d be worthwhile to share that answer for anyone else who might have any passing interest in my opinions. (with the addition of fixing a few typos and a broken sentence [...]

I’ve just seen a message on the Freenet board on Frost that is distributing a pre-release of a build that will eventually be Freenet 0.5 build 5109.
When 5109 is released I intend to update my freenet page to include the new version as well as the “painkiller” version with it’s bandwidth throttling features. I [...]

I just saw a slashdot item that makes me wonder about the Japanese government… They’re apparently getting some laws passed that are laying the groundwork for what has the potential to become an Orwellian regulation of online communications.
Oh, it’s initial purpose is going to be to stop piracy and illegal downloads & such, but [...]
