Absinthe: Neato
Last night was fun. Had a great time and tried the absinthe, as well. After about two seconds googling, I found that the FDA allowed absinthe to be imported to the US, but only if it contained 10ppm or less of thujone. That translates to about 10 milligrams of thujone per liter. Traditional absinthe was about 100 milligrams per liter, so the effect of the absinthe I purchased was more of making you drunk easier. However, it tasted damned good, and the louching was a really cool thing to watch. Would definitely try it again, just need to get a decent glass and some sugar cubes.
Free Website Stress Tests!
Apparently I was afk for “Free Website Stress Test Day”. That’s too bad, too, since I liked watching it get pummeled by far more than just “3500 Unique Visitors”. Would love to download the raw data on this one. Wonder who gave me these pings of love…
Note: Typical users will have javascript enabled in their browsers. The Google Analytics side reveals that the 3500 requests shown by cloudflare were just bare requests, no js executed or cookies- Nothing. Just someone saying “hello”. Interesting, nonetheless.
The Anti-Anonymous Movement
Anonymous has had some bad eggs in it’s time. There have been violent adherents, bad ideas, and blemishes all around. The spirit of revolution and change for the better has been pock marked by bad decisions due to a select few not following any ethical path. Though the movement is large and diverse, with many participants. “The Internet Hate Machine” as it was once known is dead, they’re now just a bunch of kids wanting governments and corporations to behave- or else.
How to Find MP3’s Using Google
This is a handy guide to using Google to search for pirated music. This can be applied to other file types as well, but it’s best for MP3’s. I’d link back to the original material, but this information has been reposted so much that I’m not sure anyone really knows from where it originated. That said, on to the juicy bits.

----------------------------------------------------------------------0) Key
1) Directories
2) Xitami Servers
3) Directory Listing
4) Andromeda Servers
5) Zina Artists
6) Apache mp3 Servers
7) Individual Songs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
= Section 0 - KEY
----------------------------------------------------------------------You this are just some definitions I will use below.
[Directory String] can be any of the following :
1) "index of"
2) "last modified"
3) "parent of"
[file type] can be any of the following :
1) "mp3"
2) "shn"
3) "wma"
[mp3 name] can be any of the following :
1) the name of the album in quotes
2) the name of the artist in quotes
3) be daring and leave it blank and have lots of links
4) be creative!
[limitors]
1) -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
(inurl:) is optional and may be omitted and in fact most be
omitted if not using a search tool other than google.
(intitle:) can be used in place of (inurl:) and has a similar effect
again you must be useing google.
(-filetype:txt) adding this to the end of your search string can
filter some false positives.
(-playlist) adding this to the end of your search string can
filter some false positives.

= Section 1 - Directories
----------------------------------------------------------------------These are the most common way that mp3s are stored on the www, you
should try these strings first.
String Format :
Type 1 : [Directory String] + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 2 : [Directory String] + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name]
Type 3 : [Directory String] + [file type] + [mp3 name] + [limitors]
Example Strings :
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
- "index of" + "mp3" + "radiohead" -html -htm -php
- "index of" + mp3 + "grandaddy"
- "index of" + inurl:mp3 + "beatles" -txt -pls
- "index of" + intitle:mp3 + beatles
- "last modified" + "shn" + "dylan"
- "last modified" + inurl:shn + "bob dylan"
- "parent of" + inurl:wma + "grandaddy"
Suggestions :
- Try (intitle:index.of + "mp3" + "band name" -htm -html -php -asp) first it
is usually the most effective.
Another Little Trick:
- If you have been getting alot of results on google but the pages don't seem
to be there try adding dates and the "apache" string to your search i.e.
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache feb-2005
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + "grandaddy" -html -htm -php -asp apache 2005
or if you just want a big list of mp3' doing a search like this everymonth
- intitle:index.of + mp3 + -html -htm -php -asp apache mar

Just thought I’d dump a bunch of stoner comics, because I know how much everyone loves this stuff. Maybe it’s just amusing to me, who knows. Whatever. I can’t sleep and insomnia sucks, so I cope with a stoner comic dump. Enjoy.
Kramdown and Common Sense
Boy did I herp before I derped. All this time I could’ve been posting thumbnailed images, but I didn’t peek into the specifics of Kramdown or how to do it. Ruby seems to be a literal octopus of a language, with all these parsers and things. Ruby seems to be the new Visual Basic, reinventing spaghetti mess. At least it produces pretty results, though.
[](/link/to/full/image.jpg)Simple tip, excellent results, not sure why I didn’t think to experiment with it in the first place. Maybe because my initial impression of Kramdown was that it’s kinda touchy. Don’t know. In any case, I’m a fan now. I might use Kramdown more often, for more than just this blog. Who knows.
Therapeutic Photoshop
Look ma, I’m into therapeutic Photoshopping again! Found a neat little Java game online called Hell of Sand and thought I’d throw together a two minute image based on the game. Yes, this is what I do when I’m bored, should I ever get enough time to be bored.
