Anonymous has begun an attack on NZ government websites

Posted by tomachi on May 4th, 2011 filed in Politics

Wow, this is really nifty - global attack network Anonymous has just begun attacking our NZ govt website due to the passing of the new copyright amendment bill! Love the distorted voice in the vid. This bill is an assault on human rights because it contains an automatic presumption of guilt, and puts burden of proving innocence on the defendant. Hence it got the attention of the network. I was saying how maybe they should attack the National website too since they passed it?!

Good on them I say. It's all a bit sketchy the way this government likes eroding our privacy and rights and so forth, what with removing jury service for under 3 months jail, privatised prisons, slashes to legal aid, and of course that horrendous search and surveillance bill... this latest grab and reversal of presumption of innocence is just the last straw.

If it were up to me... I'd make it so the warning periods are generous and the internet account only gets cut off for 1 week at first then put back on, and only taking off again when infringing begins again. This would be fairer.


FleetFM Playlist circa god knows when

Posted by tomachi on April 15th, 2011 filed in Music, Setlists

I found this data-dump while doing a search online on Google for my first album "The Hotel Vermont Sessions" (released 2005), in preparation for the worldwide release of this under my own label that I am setting up. You can buy it from me here, in the meantime if you like.

It is an old copy of the Fleet FM playlist, pretty neat huh? Nice to see my work in there in bold, although the breaks stuff wasn't me on drums it was a machine. I thought I had better back it up, as I noticed the basically the station is down and the homepage of the site is displaying an error - it was a miracle I was even able to this content out.

Stuxnet

Posted by tomachi on April 10th, 2011 filed in Technology

I just read an awesome article in Vanity Fair by Michael Joseph Gross about the incredible Stuxnet worm that targeted nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran as a form of international cyber war. At the time of Stuxnet, malware’s previous heavyweight champion, the Conficker worm, was only one-twentieth the size of this new threat.

Really interesting tho, was the angle at the end about how they still couldn't figure out which nation (Isreal or USA most likely) produced the advanced piece of sofware that would have required 10 to 20 people years worth of man-hours to create. This thing had stolen software signatures, encrypted payload, and a sort of device matching profile thingy able to only target the right kind of PLC from Siemens used in the factory.

The downside of the Stuxnet tho, could be to give more ammunition to other virus creators or to turn the gun on some other target. This would be because PLCs (programmable logic controllers) are very widely used in factories and all kinds of industrial processes. It might open up a new range of industrial cyber-extortion, as presumably, with some re-working of the code one could try to target other factories that used this gear. Then again, each new device is going to need some PLC code written for it so its still quite hard to do.

The full 8 page (!) article is here:

Evidence of the effects of the Google Farmer Update

Posted by tomachi on March 30th, 2011 filed in SEO

So there has been a fair bit of talk in the SEO community about the so called Google Farmer / Panda update and its effects.  The idea with this update was to reduce webspam in the results, specifically those shallow informational articles (shallow How To's as so forth) that used to appear are now getting pushed down the listings thankfully.  It was also targetting content farms (hence the "Farmer" label applied to the udpate) which basically are sites more intended for search engines than actual humans, which probably sell links or banner ads to make money, rather than have an actual product.

Personally, I think I like the change. I've been doing some searches for informational How To subjects and have been finding some excellent articles in high positions that really do answer my question. All of the sites I look after have seen an improvement in organic traffic from Google - see the screenshots from analytics below covering the period this was supposed to have rolled out. It should be noted that most of these sites have very clean white-hat link profiles, so go figure.

Google actually makes about 200 algo changes per year so this all needs to be taken in context, however Google themselves said this affects like 11% of the resutls which is humongous.

Questions Motorhome Vacationers Ask...

Posted by tomachi on March 23rd, 2011 filed in Online Marketing

What I've done here is take a slice of traffic to Motorhome Road Trip and searched in our GA account for \? which is a regex to only show organic traffic that came from users search engine query  - and then filter it out for only that which actually has a ? in it, indicating its a question. I've also segmented by Country to show where all this came from since there wasn't really much cross over in the exact queries as only 3 in the sample were exactly the same (the first two rows, and interesting also the "are there beaches in germany?" question which got asked in both Germany and UK - kinda funny). I then sorted by visits, then time on site to "shape" this paltry data set into some form of relevance based on how long these people were on our site for. I scanned it to remove any privacy breach type stuff, but couldn't find any. Finally, I bolded some queries that I quite liked, maybe cos they were relevant to NZ, or I found them amusing for some weird reason.

Probably my favourite was "how fashionable is it to have a motorhome?".
