Meet GoldTeefNukka: The Drunken TF2 Demoman

Gib$Ru$ clan captain, GoldTeefNukka, plays some Team Fortress 2 on the Gib$ Dustbowl Payload server. Alas, he shows up wasted.

Here are a few short minutes of Gold making a fool of himself on the server.

Let this be an example of why gamers should not play TF2 drunk.

Excitment of the Day: Kevin Rose digging up comment

So yeah.. Its been a slow day so far. The most exciting thing to happen has been Kevin Rose digging up my comment on this story about the first photo of the new Enterprise ship for the upcoming Star Trek film directed by JJ Abrams.

"I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide"

Well, after over a year off, I've decided to come back home to seanthebond.blogspot.com.

Why the sudden change of heart? Why would I return to the blog that I started in my youth? Well, because I really would like to keep track of my thoughts in the coming two years. For those who don't know, I'm currently in grade 11 at Sir John A. MacDonald High School in Tantallon (Halifax), Nova Scotia.

I'm going to try and keep to update the website tri-weekly, but its hard to say if I'm going to stick to that schedule or not.

Anyways, I'm going to be experimenting with a couple of different templates for the site over the next little while. This pretty black one that I have right now is alright, but things could be better, especially the javascript.

Second Life has been hacked! And credit card numbers stolen!

I recently recieved an email from Linden Labs, the guys behind the popular free MMO, 'Second Life'. The email basically said that somebody got access of account and personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, and credit card numbers! Here is exactly what the email said:

"SECURITY BULLETIN


*SAN FRANCISCO, CA. (September 8, 2006)* - Linden Lab reported today that it is notifying its community of a database breach, which potentially exposed customer data including the unencrypted names and addresses, and the encrypted passwords and encrypted payment information of all Second Life users. Unencrypted credit card information, which is stored on a separate database, was not compromised.

The breach was discovered on September 6, 2006 and promptly repaired. The company then launched a detailed investigation that revealed an intruder was able to access the Second Life databases utilizing a "Zero-Day Exploit" through third-party software utilized on Second Life servers. Due to the nature of the attack, the company cannot determine which individual data were exposed. The company's technical investigation is ongoing.

"We're taking a very conservative approach and assuming passwords were compromised and therefore we're requiring users to change their Second Life passwords immediately," said Cory Ondrejka, CTO of Linden Lab. "While we realize this is an inconvenience for residents, we believe it's the safest course of action. We place the highest priority on protecting customer data and will continue to take aggressive measures to protect the privacy and security of the community."

Linden Lab advises all users to take appropriate precautions against misuse of personal information. To reduce the risk of fraud, Linden Lab will not contact individuals by phone or any other method asking for private information unless it is in response to an inquiry from the individual user."

This isn't good news for the company. And I'm sure paid subscribers aren't happy.

Shutting Down

I am here to announce that I will be shutting down the blog for the upcoming months, possibly year.

Due to school, and the fact that I will not have as much free time anymore.

If you would like to contact me, do so at:

Thanks everyone, later,

Digg.com Sig

If you don't use the social news website, Digg.com, you should really check it out. Its a website run by the community. They submit stories and other users can vote or 'digg' the story to push it up onto the front page of the website. Its a very fascinating idea, and it has become very popular with over 500,000 members.

Below is a little sig of my stats on the site.

Darth Vader wants Techtv! Not G4!

Click here. It really makes me miss the good old days. This site is very much true. Just one day I turn on the TV, and theres the G4 logo sitting next to the TechTV logo... A truly dark day. At least UndoTV is coming soon.
