Live from a hacked hotel room and hacked website

DIESEL.com

10:35am JST Thursday 25 January 2007 (day 13455)

Strictly speaking, I don't know that the website is hacked, but the hotel manager almost certainly won't be impressed to see the walls painted. On the other hand, perhaps it's just a set made to look like a hotel room. I haven't read the FAQ, and I'm on the train now without internet access for the next 12 hours.

But it was most amazing to get realtime response from them by typing "watching in Tokyo" and the girl (Heidi?) was like, "oh my gosh 'watching in Tokyo,' thank you so much; we're international, and now we're in Asia."

I found them via the slashdot firehose (the flood of stories from which stories are chosen for publication), and immediately recommended it for publication. I woulda posted it again had I had more time before work.

I changed my chat name from "Rob!" to "Rob in Tokyo!" and (had) posted basically

Rob! said: watching in Tokyo.
Rob in Tokyo! said: I've gotta go to work
Rob in Tokyo! said: I posted to my peeps, though!
Rob in Tokyo! said: best of luck! smooches! bye!
Rob in Tokyo! said: hopefully you'll be slashdotted soon,
Rob in Tokyo! said: which means lots more visitors
Rob in Tokyo! said: so impossible to hang up! :-) :-)

the first two lines above are reenactments, but the rest is taken from below:

As a result, I missed the train I was supposed to catch to meet Tariq on time, so I'll be a bit late. D'oh!

Pretty decent progress on the flash game; I figured out how to solve the color-changing thing (as in I found some code online that could do it. woulda taken me a hella long time to figure it out. (I wrote to the author, basically, "is this your code?" and plan to send paypal cash if s/he replies in the affirmative. No reply yet, even though this person seems to post every day on usenet..))

Going to met Tariq and Koreda today.
