pumpkin has been a little frustrated of late, and decided to write up what was bothering him over on his site. You may find it interesting.
I’m a bit behind the times on reblogging this and I’m only really learning about the conflict between Zibri and the iPhone Dev Team (seems to only go in one direction I’ll admit). Some of the tales about Zibri’s exploits blow...

Russia Scorns Methadone for Heroin Addiction →
thedaytheytriedtokillme:
The most effective treatment for heorin addiction (well there’s also ibogaine) is demonized in Russia with the Kremlin kids shouting it in the streets. Makes you think. Why would they hate methadone treatment so much? Hmm…
The country that shares a border with one of the largest opium providers in the world is saying no to treatment while enjoying a shocking addiction...

Twithey 1.0 →
Sad? Lonely? Into UNIX?! Into Twitter? In that case you might be interested in this program I just wrote. Or perhaps heavy medication. It emulates the terminal messaging command “hey” that is popular on Irish Netsoc systems but communicates with Twitter instead of with other users on the system. It’s lame, it’s flaky but it works and it amused me for an hour or two.
Thanks for waiting :) (iPhone 2.0 unlock)

Dress Left for Success →
Recently I made a startling discovery, the impact of which will be felt the world over. The way in which you “dress” —as in, to “dress left” — can have an impact on your brain. “Dressing left” is a term that probably only men know. It’s a term used by tailors — to “dress left” means that one keeps one’s penis in the left...

The 25th Chaos Communication Congress is the annual four-day conference organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) in Berlin, Germany. First held in 1984, it since has established itself as “the European Hacker Conference”, attracting a diverse audience of thousands of hackers, scientists, artists, and utopists from all around the world.
Methinks I’ll be seeing Berlin.

A last drink proved one too many for a 78-year-old Swede who fell asleep while trying to row home - from Denmark.
