Mental notes to myself

Oh my! I’ve heard people getting kicked out of Facebook because they were sending too much messages and facebook considered them as spamming.
One last thing is added to the pile. Now they are claiming the reader of a message is spamming people.
Oh boy, it is funny.
I’ve logged into Facebook and saw I’ve received a message. I clicked the message and boom! There is a red box saying I’m spamming people with messages and I’ll be blocked soon if I continue this.
Wait a minute! I’m not the one writing the message I’m reading it.
So as a responsible geek, I’ve send a message to Facebook and here is the result:

Well at least they know that somebody made a booboo. Or not?

Test your PHP Facebook. I’m sure you have bugs in detecting the spam as well.

I am normally not linking to this kind of thing, but this is simply the best blonde joke I have ever read.

ICANN is planning to release single letter domain names sometime in 2006.

It really doesn’t make sense to me.
But I guess they are trying to find a way to resell the existing domain names again…

1. “The sky isn’t really blue — it’s actually cyan”
Do you incessantly spout unnecessary or obscure information that would make Cliff Clavin from the TV show “Cheers” jealous? Lose the “know-it-all” attitude or you’ll make a career of lunching alone.

2. Chains of Love
Are you never around because you’re always out on a “smoking break?” Limit your puffs to standard break times.

3. Workaholic Wannabe
Do you mosey in late, take extra long lunches, and don’t really start to roll-up your sleeves and dig into some serious work until about 2 p.m.? Then, do you make sure everyone sees you working past 5 p.m.? Well you’re not impressing anyone; rather you’re annoying those who already have put in a full day before you even get warmed up.

Here is a really cool 404 page i’ve found.

TAMPA, FL — When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” statement but followed it up with several remarks to the other astronauts and Mission Control.

Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark, “Good luck Mr. Gorsky.” Many people at NASA thought it was a remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut.

However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong as to what the “Good luck Mr. Gorsky” statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.

On July 5, 1995 at the University of Tampa in Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a student brought up the 36-year-old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded.

Armstrong explained, “When I was a kid, I was playing baseball [with a friend] in the backyard. He hit a fly ball that landed in the yard in front of my neighbor’s bedroom windows. My neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As I leaned down to pick up the ball, I heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at her husband, “You want oral sex?! You’ll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!”

At this remark, the audience - comprised primarily of college students - began laughing hysterically.
