substitute

In the interests of self-promotion and public amusement I've syndicated my videos from Buzznet over here to the elljay. They are available at:

It's just a clickthrough with a thumbnail, no embedding.

save_the_net syndicates the blog of the Save the Internet site.

The intention of the site and the blog is to oppose a U.S. law that would create a tiered internet instead of the current "net neutrality" policy that governs the Internet.

For those who might be interested in the links I'm bookmarking but who do not use delicious themselves or read this via feedburner, here is an LJ syndication of my delicious posts:

torgo_x has kindly made an RSS feed for the OC Weekly, which is syndicated here as oc_weekly or available to your feedreader at this RSS link.

I get an RSS feed of the craigslist personals, two categories. This is a fine use of technology to help me find future stalking victims.

A lot of the posts on craigslist personals are from prostitutes or something close to it, and those posts get yanked. And there are also the usual Internet weirdos who will use anything as a message board, including one guy who keeps posting about how he doesn't like fat girls, and people who get trolled by him and post things back at him. And all of these posts come out as individual personal ads too, and then get yanked.

About a week ago, I started seeing dollar amounts in a lot of postings. They'd say things like "Viet girl in irvine looking for LTR - $28". I wondered what the hell? Were they all prostitutes? And if so, why so cheap? Had Mr. Troll managed to break in somehow and insert prices on all the women to make some more trouble?

I finally clicked through on one today and "Work too much? No time to find a nice lady? (OC) $24" turned out to be "Work too much? No time to find a nice lady? (OC) - 24". For some reason the feed is prepending a dollar sign to all the ages of the personals posters.

So, yeah, that's the story of how bad character sets in RSS feeds ruined my dream of cheap sex in Orange County.
