Web Page Rage

So I updated my website to be more "advanced". It now shows my twitter status under my name. I created a php script that would get the status from twitter. However this proved to slow down my website by a lot because twitter is slow, retarded monkey slow. So I created a perl script that saves my status to a file and my page reads that file. I created a cron job to run that script once in a while. So for those who need to want to know my twitter status with little fuss you can get it at http://mempko.dyndns.org/twitstatus

You know, you can make a programmable clock that speaks my status and stuff. But I doubt you want to be woken up to the sound of my ramblings.

The Trap

I watched a wonderful documentary by Adam Curtis called The Trap which describes the distinction between positive and negative freedoms and how fighting for negative freedoms has put our society into a trap. Discover what that trap exactly is and how negative freedoms lead to a moral dead end.
