Mash-Up…

Despite what the internet will tell you, the term “Mash-Up” is an expression that means, damaged, mangled, or an assortment of expletives used in context to mean knackered…

Last night at Karate I kicked a guys elbow and “my ankle is mash-up”. I usually bruise about a week after an incident, but this one came out the same evening. Last night I lay on my bed with an icepack on my ankle while the dull ache made me feel sick. Today it feels a bit dodgy when I walk and it wasn’t too good when I was swimming.

I’m on a Karate course all next week, so I hope it is a little better by Monday.

Cheers

PS. If the wish-fairy is listening, please can you fix my ankle, the knuckles on my right hand, my left forearm, my left knee and give me £60 billion. Thankyou! 🙂

More Plagiarism (Update) and Stuff…

OK. The Hosting company for OracleOCP.net has suspended the service. I’m glad to see the guys there are on the case. Although the DNS servers and the “abuse” email addresses were different for both domains, I think the hosting company may actually be the same… Anyway, thanks very much for doing your job. You know who you are…

I’ve upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.0.4 this morning. Please give me a shout if you notice anything wrong. I think I’ve covered all the bases, but you never know 🙂

It seems Howard Rogers is having some trouble with his site, although as I write, there seems to be some signs of life again. I hope everything gets resolved soon.

More Plagiarism…

It turns out this guy, Ankit Patel, has a mirror site OracleOCP.net. Does it look kinda familiar?

He’s written a couple of things on DBASupport.com, claiming to be an employee of Deutsche Bank. I’ve written to both the hosting company and the provider of domain about this issue. Hopefully it will get removed soon. In addition I dropped a line to Deutsche Bank telling them what’s going on. If he really does work for them, I thought they should know of his criminal dealings.

What really cracks me up is he appears to have done the same PhD as me according to this site (here). I wonder if he was in the same Lab as me 🙂
Cheers

Update:  The host for this second domain has just contacted me to say they are looking into it. I’m hoping for a speedy resolution.

Back to normality…

I’ve been teaching some Yoga classes for a friend while he’s been away, and last night I taught the final two classes. Hopefully, life can switch back from insanely busy to just regular busy. That is, until the weekend, when I go on a one week Karate course. I’ve got to do what I’m told for a whole week. That’ll be a first 🙂

Cheers
