I had a few things I wanted to post about, but for a moment, a list, so I don't forget about them.

• Noisy upstairs neighbours
• On being a IT generalist
• Tales of ISPs past
• Giving Gentoo development a good kick in the ass
• Writing testsuites for my own open-source applications

money things

What do all of these have in common?
COHG EPRT FCCN GLOW GTEM HWYI HXPN LYJN MENV NWOG PRTH RRLB SFWJ UTVG VTSS

They are all stock symbols, that were promoted via pump-and-dump scams in the last 4 days.

Let's look at one the that I saw last week for a moment:
Starting Monday Jan 8th, the RRLB went up nearly 120% overnight (from $0.04 to $0.10). Then around midday Tuesday there was a big sell, followed by another big sell wednesday.

Now if we look at the others (these are all the ones that really stand out, the others don't have enough data available for me to make a conclusion).
MENV - 40% growth
NWOG - 20% growth
PRTH - 80% growth
SFWJ - 50% growth
UTVG - 80% growth in less than 12 hours.
VTSS - 10% growth since yesterday, but this spam run only appears to be starting.

I want to make a prediction here, to test a theory. VTSS will gain at least another 20% before Wednesday.
