Not so dark here, eh?

Yeah, today is the long-awaited SOPA/PIPA-protest day.

I am obviously totally against the heavy-handed censorship proposal, but am not turning the blog off.

After all, I had my four hours of darkness yesterday following the cPanel mishap in the afternoon.

And if the blog would have been switched off, I wouldn’t have been able to post this glorious rendition of American Pie. And not just ANY rendition of American Pie, but one with LOLcats in it!

Outages R Us

Managed to mangle the password to the blog today and thus render this completely unreachable for a couple of hours.

Fixed.

The fact that cPanel can change the MySQL password came as a definitely unpleasant surprise.

Movie Monday #31: Enthralled by Evil

Christopher Waltz as Hans LandaA great movie is perfected by its villain, to paraphrase the late Alfred H.

In my opinion by far the greatest villain of recent years has been Hans Landa, the intelligent and charismatic nazi played by Christopher Waltz in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

The smooth and suave villain is nothing but an opportunistic monster, who seems to take a significant delight in inflicting his person and ideals on others.

R.I.P. Vicar

Vicar & duckVictor ‘Vicar’ Arriagada, one of the most prolific artists drawing Donald Duck passed away recently.

In my opinion Vicar was just a tiny bit away from greatness. He was a fast artist, and didn’t resort to the obsessive level of detail that slowed Don Rosa down during the last years of his career. Then again, his stories tended to be on the simpler side – no novel-length sagas with omnipresent intertextuality.

Just say no…

… to Klout, a social network with seriously underhanded tactics.
