Fragrance Hotel Singapore

So the SysOps engineers at Fragrance Hotel, Singapore are negligent and dont secure their wifi network leaving guests traffic vulnerable....but the guest who writes about this is sent to jail and fined??

Wow......gives "enjoy your stay" a new meaning.

Google domain naked url forward problem

Ugh......don't know why this isn't more obvious in the help docs....but I found it online after 20 mins of futzing around trying different combinations.


When you register a domain with google domains you can set up to 100 sub-domain forwarding etc eg
www.Acme.com
Sales.Acme.com
Accounts.Acme.com


The problem I was finding is if I typed in www.Acme.com it was forwarding fine. However, if I typed in http://Acme.com it wasn't working at all.

Basically would return no such domain....... (even though I had already setup the *.Acme.com wildcard to work - and it was working fine, eg if I typed in random subdomains that didn't exist.....would send them to www.Acme.com just fine).

What I was missing is forwarding "the google naked domain" and how you do that is setup subdomain forward as you always would......but then enter just  @  on its own in the subdomain then fill out www.Acme.com as the destination.

Ugh like I said.....simple but lots of futzing around to get there.

Hopefully through SEO this post will help someone out :)

Syrian "exclusion zone"

Can you imagine how the USA would react if China set up a 35 mile "boundary zone" in Texas for Mexican "refugee protection".....

Steve Eisman ....10 years later.

Worthy reading.


Interesting point about nothing major to 2020 and govt manipulation changing the rules  (my personal echo-chamber...?) i still think there will be a short dip in March when people start filing USA tax returns and learning what the Trump tax cuts mean to them.

Are we being racist when it comes to live sheep exports?

Makes you wonder if we could ever see a future where the consumption of meat is banned entirely...... eg this political movement seems to have come about fairly rapidly.....


Whilst i support penalties against mistreatment of sheep, and some carriers have done a shockingly bad job so deserve to be fined/lose their license; I wonder how city folk would feel is we said sheep can only be transported a maximum of 240 kilometers before processing and their retail prices in Coles/Woolies doubled overnight as a reflection of this.....because basically this is what we are saying to customers in the Middle East eg you MUST purchase refrigerated or frozen meat from Australia and you MUST have the refrigeration/power capabilities that come along with that requirement.

Assholes on CNBC talking tonight about how "businesses shouldnt do politics" FU....what was Citizen United legislation all about then?

Half of your guests have lobbyists on speed dial and now that you have someone standing up for what cant be bought you are telling me "businesses shouldnt be getting involved in politics??"
