Employment.
There were people with more experience. How do I gain experience without a job, and how do I get a job without experience? Bit annoyed at that, I really wanted to work there, oh well.
Current job is lovely as ever... *cough*

Most people have heard of crackers, or more commonly known as hackers. People who try to access things they aren't authorised to, like other people computers. Why they do this I have no idea.
There are basically three types.
I have had a handful of the latter trying to attack my server... well that's what I thought at first but then I noticed they were actually really quite stupid. Browsing through my logs I see that they were trying to run Windows things. Crafty? No, they didn't even waste 100ms on finding out what operating system I am using on this. At least try dudes!
So where do these hackers come from? All foreigners. I have never had a hack attempt from anybody in the British Isles. I have had a few from China (although I don't know why they bother, they aren't allowed to view web sites out-side of China (ahahaha)) and a load from America. Most of the attacks worth paying attention to come from Europe. France, Belgium, Germany. All trying the same methods over and over again, and failing.
BBC News 24 shows a 30 minute World News program from America. The idea is to allow the world see what the American's see as the world.
Really quite interesting. A layout of the program tonight:
Moral of the story? It seems American's aren't interested what is going on in the rest of the world. People say the British are arrogant and don't care about the rest of the world. Watching this program I can't see the American society even knowing there is a world across the pool of water. Maybe US scientists will soon announce a exploration mission across the water with a new fangled theory that there are other worlds.
On another note, has anybody noticed how many wars have been tried to be sparked since Bush came into power? I think the count is 3 currently.
Well Christmas is over, and the New Year is done. Got a few rather nice DVD's for Christmas, amoungst other things.
What will 2003 bring us? So far it looks like more of the usual. War, and increasing crime at home. Solution? More money in education.
I have decided to upload my site as it will never be finished so I might as well put it online and add when I get round to it.
