ThePlanet.com, home to over 9,000 website servers, suffered from a transformer explosion on Sunday afternoon. The explosion and subsequent fire at it’s Houston-based H1 Datacenter took all of their servers offline, though they did not destroy any servers. The radio stations’ (WBWI/WBKV) websites were among the thousands of websites that were affected by the blast, and at the time of this post, they are still not fully operational.
I am a big fan of Eminem, but not having my appetite fulfilled with The Re-Up, I have been on the look for some Shady mix-tapes.
I recently came across Diary of a Madman…which is really a compilation of 49 old Eminem freestyles, remixes and unreleased items. Anyone who was on Napster (or perhaps Limewire) probably has some of these, but I doubt all of them, let alone at the quality that most of these are.
Check out http://www.getrightmusic.com/2008/02/28/424/ to download the .zip file with all of these great songs.
Highlights: The 97 Rap Olympics…any of my friends who are Eminem fans already have a copy of this…but let me tell you, this guy lets a few other Emcees have it.
I just received this email and thought I would pass it on to anyone out there who is looking for a business opportunity. How lucky am I to receive such a great opportunity!?!
Dear
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for
you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any
manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Silvia James,20 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.James. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 6th.April 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on April 6 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) left in one of the leading Finance company here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa.
He further told me that he deposited the money in my name,I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate and really don’t know what to do.This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Dear,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will
be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.Through my
private email box:
Ph*cking Microsoft. I installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 and it is giving me nothing but problems. At first, when I went to save, the dang thing gave me the spinning ball of death. I figured out that it had something to do with the “save a preview” option. So, I unticked the check box for the preview and it was fine.
Then, I tried to “add a cover page” to my report. Same h*cking spinning ball of death that I got before. Mother effer.
Screw you Bill Gates. Thank God that I save my work like people in Milwaukee vote.

UPDATE: I dumped my plist file and repaired permissions and now it works like a charm. Booyah. Take that Bill Gates. You got served.
Google always seems to come up with some silly April Fool’s Day joke. Today it’s “Gmail Custom Time.” It’s pretty cute - but a little too unbelievable to actually “fool” anybody.
My favorite line: “Need an email to arrive 6 hours ago? No problem. ” Haha.
Do you use iTunes?  Maybe you have the same issue I do…For the past year +, in my shopping cart on iTunes, I have had 3 of the same albums recommended to me.  Now, maybe The Arctic Monkeys, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Beck’s Guero albums are AWESOME…but I AIN’T BUYIN’ EM’!  Recommend something else.  Go back to the programming and set up some kind of timer that eliminates recommendations that haven’t been purchased within, oh, I don’t know…a YEAR?!?  PS.  Check out the new album from System of a Down singer Serj Tankian, Elect the Dead.Â
The MagSafe power adapter on my MacBook Pro nearly started on fire yesterday. At the computer end of the cable, a bulge had started to appear and there was a brownish burnt look to it - then the plastic started melting off- and last night it looked like it was about to start on fire. Luckily, there was no damage to my computer.
I have had this computer for about a year and a half. It does get a lot of use, but there’s no reason that even at my moderate level of usage that the power adapter should be starting on fire!
I’m going to the Apple Store as soon as possible to ask them what the hell the deal is!
Here’s a photo I took with my phone (which apparently will only focus on the floor).
I also found a page that highlights some people with the same problems: AppleDefects.com.
Today is the big day when Apple releases a whole bunch of cool new products. People are speculating that they are going to release an “ultra-portable” new MacBook. We’ll see! They always release these just in time for us to get our tax returns. No new toys for me this year, though. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself.
Apple’s Leopard Operating System debuts tomorrow night at 6pm at your local Apple Store! It’s going to be friggin’ sweet! AND… it’s already getting some cool reviews. The Wall Street Journal’s headline kinda sums it up: Leopard: Smarter, Faster than Vista. Now that is going to raise some eyebrows.
If you saw Die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard), you know what a fire sale is, in terms of a cyber attack.
CNN.com features a video of an AC360 story about the possibility of such an event. Saying that a prolonged power outtage to 1/3 of the US would be like having 50 hurricanes hit (based on the area affected, I would guess).
It’s great that everything has become so convenient and (inter)netted together that even destroying our infastructure is able to be done with the click of a mouse.
…as Halo 3 is released today. Very similar to when the Star Wars movies were released, expect for stories in the media to announce that hundreds of thousands of American (single male) workers called in sick today due to the release of Halo 3.
While I do not own an XBox or XBox 360, I can tell you that having only played the original Halo for 30 minutes, the game kicks ass.
I have been a Netflix subscriber for almost 4 years now (that long? wow). Occassionally they send me email promotions and coupon codes to share with people for 1 or 2 free weeks trials. This one is much better, 1 Month of Netflix for Free! So, I will share with all of you in FuzzMartin.com-land. Oh, I think this is only good for non-Netflix subscribers.

This is just too friggin’ sweet! I am not a big “gamer.” In fact, I own an xbox, but the last time I played it was over 6 months ago, and that was only because I was trying to entertain Tracy’s son. I may, however, be in the market for Guitar Hero for Mac. If you’ve never played Guitar Hero, you totally don’t know what you’ve been missing. Hell, my MOM and her boyfriend bought a Playstation II just so that they could play GH! Yeah… it’s that cool.
Okay… I really wish that I had the extra funds to go blow on a product that I don’t really need right now, because I would TOTALLY be hooking myself up with a new iPod Touch. Yeah… it’s an iPhone without the phone part. Of course, Apple just dropped the price on the iPhone by TWO-HUNDRED DOLLARS, so you can buy the smaller iPhone (4gb) for the same price as an 8gb iPhone iPod Touch ($299).
Apple also released a new iPod Nano, which now plays video. They’re fugly. That’s all I’m saying.
I stumbled across this site tonight.
