Tired. Been tired all weekend and not getting much done. Had intended to get together with Wales this weekend, since I'm taking a four day weekend (but alas, she's not) and neither of us felt like doing anything or going on the subways.

The subways are screwed up all weekend long due to track work, and it's been a difficult week - with the commute. Long-ass waits, among other things.

Currently baking a quiche. The recipe is rather simple.Read more... )

I decided to do it - because I can have it for dinner tonight and brunch tomorrow. I'm not making pancakes, trying to lower my sugar intake being diabetic and all.

Wales is annoyed with me because I'm not into texting. I'm annoyed at her because I can't call her without it going to voice mail. She's incredibly high maintenance, and her texts border on trollish - in short she pisses me off with her texts (today I considered ignoring them forever). The woman sucks at writing, and has no understanding of tone.

Sigh.

What I want - is to go away with a friend to a nice place in the Hamptons or upstate, drink ice tea, chat, and watch the world go by. And I'm not going to get that. It's making me grouchy.

Finished five episodes of the Julia Miniseries on HBO, got one left.
It was good. I found it comforting for the most part - although I found myself relating to the folks around Julia more than Julia herself. Read more... )

Got curious last night, and hunted down information on the notorious dark net and deep web - resulting in information that I could use for the book I revising.

The gist? It's the un-indexed or unregulated internet. The Deep Web is basically all our emails, financial information, etc that is password protected and protected. When you go on a password protected site - you are on the deep web. This is to a degree the deep web - if I flock this post.
You can't find stuff on the deep web via google.

The Dark Net, is the layer beyond that - which is information that has not been indexed, you aren't supposed to know about, and is unregulated. It's where all the illicit activities take place. Or the internet's version of the black market or underground market. Basically anybody can put whatever they so desire on it.

more information on the above )

So there you have it - no one agrees on anything - including the Dark Net.

Although I thought this was funny...

and this is just scary...

just in case you get any ideas...and uhm curiosity does kill the cat )
In short? Don't go to the dark web. Instead, go hiking in a park or buy a book.

[Note - I'm not a registered user of Quora, nor signed in. Just got taken there googling a topic on Google. But I'm wary of the site. But it is also a highly ranked question and answer site - apparently better than Reddit. God there's a lot of social media marketing platforms out there.]

Finished The Thing About Pam - which is disturbing, mainly because it's the most realistic depiction that I've seen of a midwestern criminal trial. Read more... )

It's cold again - the heat has come back on. Apparently it finally got cold enough to come back on - along with rain. And the doggie is running about and barking above me - clearly excited about something. It's quiet now - except for my gargling drain in the kitchen.
