The Joys of Spam
Well, I woke up today to a fun spam email.
It’s not hard to figure out what is legit and what is not, and this looked wrong from the start.
But ya’ll know me, so I decided to bite.

Monet
Hey Guys!
Exciting project today. It’s the Monet Frame Computer. Check it out!
This is the Monet machine offline, and ready for some action.

Well, it’s not just a fantastic modern art work, it’s also an 18″ laptop circa 2008!

Well, lets boot up Ubuntu 9.10!

Spiffy, eh?
But wait! There’s more!

Hey Guys!
As a nice holiday treat for the Ubuntu Beginners Team ( and trust me, they deserve everything that they get this year! ), I’ve parsed logs that the fantastic Nathan Handler was able to get to me from the last few months. I got it into a nice XML format, ( I’ll put the perl script up on whube soon ) and put it through Codeswarm.
ffmpeg was not cooperating today, so it’s really compressed. SORRY! I’ll make it fancy, add some colors, and clean it up in time for Christmas Eve :)
Merry Christmas ( part one ) UBT! Video is after the break!
