I see that there are still regular visits from Saskatoon

There seems to be a continued interest in what I might be saying about a certain person!

There is not really a lot more to say that I have not done s in the past. I will add that the person in question still is concerned that I have posted things about him that he does not like. As a consequence of this he has made up a whole host of lies about me in retaliation. This is an indication of the nature of this person and it is my contention that you should stay well clear of him should your paths cross.

DJI Mavic Pro

A new toy!

Took a great picture of the church this morning. Launching from the grave yard worked out well and I had a good line-of-sight of both the Hall and the surrounding fields.

The Mavic boards (users and owners) really are a bunch of wankers. A highly sophisticated product bought and used by those that have no technological clue. Mostly Americans. I have not come across a much bull shit since I was active on pond boards.

Your silence IS a weakness

You made the statement that I should not interpret your silence as a weakness. The fact that I did not contact you during the period from 2011 to 2016 was that I was aware that you were lurking as I was monitoring your visits to my website. I was just continuing my research into your antics and posting what I found to the Internet. So you weren't so silent as saw your interest in what I was saying.

I agree with Anthony Mannella that there was very little to be found about your dubious businesses on the Internet and that it could be concluded that I was the only one with a problem with you. I counter that with the statement that nobody else had the balls to call you out on what you have been up to over the years. What continues to puzzle me is why? I certainly have come across others that seem to have fallen victim to your devious ways, and some of them have communicated with me about you. In most cases they are not comfortable in making a statement against you. Or perhaps they are not in a position to do so and fear what you would do if they did?

I really cannot fathom what makes a person like you tick. All I did was make an innocent comment about a data recovery service that I thought was a little optimistic and then here we are 6 years later and you cannot get over it! While it is true that neither can I, but in some ways I am enjoying all this. I don't know what motivated someone to register domain names in those of people they want to discredit and then to post a whole load of irrelevant nonsense on them. Much of the content is made-up and by the single nature of its presentation it is clear to anyone finding it that you are pretty much just a "One Trick Pony".

By the way, how is the correspondence with the Suffolk churches going? I would be very interested in seeing some of the replies. Perhaps you can publish some of them to your websites about me? In the absence of any real ones you could always make some up!

As far as my interest in matters regarding security and privacy, I guess you have a point that it could be seen as a way of creating a "smoke-screen" to deflect interest from the other misdeeds that I may be perpetrating. The only problem with that is there are none. My interest is genuine and is a commentary on the nonsense that I see reported in the press. My point about the "One-Trick-Pony" serves to illustrate that there are any topics that are of interest to me as anyone who visits my sites will see. It is not ALL about you!

The Right to be Forgotten

It will be interesting to see if the new laws relating to Data Protection will make any difference to how we all carry out our business online.

I fail to see how any legislation is going to make a whole lot of difference about the amount of data that is collected by businesses. That is now part of their business models, determining their target markets by any means. The real problem is that consumers are not aware of the information that they are giving away and are likely not to be in a position to ask for its removal.

Those that want old posts, in most cases made by themselves, on Social Media removed are more likely to want it removed as they just don't like it. Like the prevalence of tattoos the things that can be found are just seen as normal and not something to be ashamed of. Post made about them by other parties is the real problem that "Social" users have. In this case it is neither the "Internet Company" or the person posted about that is in control of that information. It is the one that posted it and it is they that have to ask for its removal or they delete it themselves. You will just have to ask nicely!

Coastal Foraging today

Foraging around Grayson Perry's "House for Essex". I wonder if Wrabness is "drabness" as it looks on Google Streetview?

Certainly it cannot compete with the back garden this morning.

Password Harvesting Software

I have written code that will harvest banking information from accounts at many major banking institutions. I will make this code available to anyone who is prepared to share in the profits that they make from its use.

All you need to do is to contact me and I will tell you where to download it and provide more details on how this software works. You need to act quickly as the FBI have Marcus in custody and his software may not be available for much longer.

A Message for Asheville

What possible reason would I have to "damage" your business?

It is Wayne McAlpine that has PirateJack on his autoresponder when you send him an email at theramman.com.

He is neither TheRamMan or the operator of TheRamManINC - he is the one that is spreading lies.

It is Wayne McAlpine  that you should be asking "What the fuck are you up to?". It is Wayne McAlpine who you should tell to stop using your name. It is Wayne McAlpine who claims that he is the expert on "dangerous" auto parts. As you may have read I have my interests elsewhere! But, I doubt if even you believe that one!

Wayne McAlpine will stop at nothing to divert the true away from the fact that he is a liar and a fraud.

Lauri Love and Gary McKinnon

This was brought back to my attention by an article in the Telegraph magazine last weekend.

I had posted on this extensively on my website and on this blog, but so far there seemed to be no interest in my views. I think that this is an indication that "The Masses" and indeed the Media don't really have a clue to what it is all about.

I have been interested in all this for a while now and it was the focus of most of my posting over the last couple of years. The fact that Lauri also hails from Stradishall Suffolk has also not gone unnoticed by me. I find it particularly interesting that the Asperger syndrome aspect seems to play a role here. I do think that there is more than a touch of the Americans looking for a Scapegoat in their ineffectual efforts to come to terms with hackers and hacking.

Lauri has long been the "go-to guy" when it comes to the media wanting a spokesperson to explain the goings-on when it comes to cyber-attacks. He was there when the NHS was hit by the WannaCry attack. I find it rather ironic that Marcus Hutchins, the guy that reportedly put the brakes on Wannacry, was arrested after attending  DEFCON. Lauri would have suffered the same fate if he ventured into the States, he says that he would commit suicide rather than let that happen!

As I suggested the US are looking for Scapegoats. Blaming their ills on foreigners is the pattern we see over and over again. Home-grown hackers and criminals are more likely to be given jobs with a government institution on the strength that they are the "experts" in the field and better that they are "working for us" as opposed to against us. The foreign element ranges from "back-room" hackers such as Lauri Love to Nation States such as Russia and the Koreans. All these can be vilified with impunity as they, in large part, cannot be held to accout.

Bye Bye Scaramucci

I can't say that you will be missed!

This all compounds the fact that the Trump White House is dysfunctional. Better Trump than Pence, so let's hope he is not impeached.
