The Cheap Alternative to Subscribing to Slashdot

Follow these five easy steps and never see another Slashdot ad again:

1. Go into your Homepage Preferences [slashdot.org].
2. Scroll down to the “User Space” textarea, and paste the following four lines of HTML in there:

   <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://pknet.com/~joe/adkiller.js”></script>
   <script type=”text/javascript”><!–
   delAds();
   –></script>

   (click here [pknet.com] to download the adkiller javascript code and put it on your own webspace, in case you don’t trust me 🙂

3. Scroll down the list of slashboxes, and make sure the “User Space” checkbox (inexplicably located between “MP3.com” and “Myther.com”) is checked.
4. Return to the front page [slashdot.org], and your Slashbox should be there, quietly zapping all iframes and banner-shaped images on the page.
5. There is no step 5!! It’s that easy.

I have not tried it yet so your milage may vary. Feel free to post your experience with the hack.

TI 99 / 4A the family’s first computer. I think it is still in the basement, if it has survived the floods and moving 2 counties over. Will have to check on it next time I’m home. But that wasn’t my first love, the first computer that I really programed. Ah for the Trash 80, er a TRS 80 MODEL 4 / 4P. Wone several computer competetions with one of those. Wrote tons of games on it, copy protection schemes, and such. Ahh, the joy of BASIC and Pascal on the Trash 80 with 5 1/4″ floppies.

John Robb thinks so and so does the Economist. Which is on paper correct, the lack of negative GDP growth. Lets all hope so. Though some intresting long run implications if it is what recessions have turned into.

Well you know the writing thing is not my forte, that is your realm of excelence. But hopefully in my own way you realise that even through all the trials and troubles I wouldn’t have wished to have any other sister. So from your big brother

Happy Birthday Little Sister
