09:27:34 pm, Categories: Current Events and News, 868 wordsFirst off, I am going to start this blog post with a big apology to Florian of ttorrent.net. I accused him and his company of been involved with the infamous Warren Smith. For this, I have been led to believe that I am wrong, and once again would like to apologise to the people at ttorrent.net.
After chatting to the owner of ttorrent.net and clearing things out, he informed me he had received an email from Warren Smith, and asked me if I would like a copy. Of course I said yes.
Below is the email, in whole from Warren Smith to ttorrent.net:
> From: Warren Smith (smythinc@gmail.com)
> Date: Aug 19, 2006 2:02 AM
> Subject: Defamation of Character
> To: support@ttorrent.ne
>
> Good Day,
>
> My name is Warren Smith, I am not sure if that rings a bell but it is on a
> page where someone defamed both your product's name and my real name. Now I
> am sure the last thing you want to do is get involved in a spat between
> anyone but I am talking to you purely as a business man here.
>
> This guy has defamed my name, he has also used his blog to defame a few
> others it would seem, he has also done the same on alternative mediums such
> as wikipedia, myspace etc. The problem for you is he has linked your service
> into this mess as well, where ever he does this to me, he does it to your
> service, it is in your best interest to stop this as well.
>
> Obviously your interest is financial and you don't want to spend any time
> and effort on this if you can avoid it, so I propose this, I have my lawyer
> ready, he is sending C&D letters to 3 parties, I would however like to use
> the internet to clear up my (and your services) names. All I am asking of
> you is if you could go on the record as the owner of ttorent.net in an
> article so that we might be able to provide some truth on the matter.
>
> The guy in question wanted to buy into my torrent service called
> torrent-box.org last year, it was a similar service to yours except he has
> no web design ability and no money so he ended up with a crude torrentflux,
> he then attempted to run me out of business by posting malicious lies on a
> community based forum and it spread from there, eventually I cut my losses,
> now he is doing the same to you because members of that community he wants

>
> Look its obvious he is lying about you and me, I just want to sort this out

> Thanks,

After we stopped giggling after reading this, we pulled ourselves together and discussed the blatent lies this chap has told.
Firstly Warren. As I know you are reading this website, could you please get your lawyer to email our lawyers on any legal intentions you should have with the owner of this website. Please email legal@pickledbushman.com with all the details so that my lawyers can speak to your lawyers, and we can all have a hap hap happy time.
Lets take a look closely at Mr Warren Smiths comments:
> The guy in question wanted to buy into my torrent service called

Firstly he states I wish to buy torrent-box.org. A complete lie. First I heard of it in any details was when people starting posting about all the money Warren Smith defrauded them for. There's a REAL lot of people that still want their money Warren... You ready for this?
Everything in your above statement was a lie. I lied about you in a forum? Are you out of your mind? Dozen of myadsl forumites posted about the money YOU stole from THEM. How many times have I mentioned your activities in the forums? Please email me with ANY evidence of a "lie".
You "cut your losses"? No, you stole other peoples money and ran away to another country. We had never discussed torrent-box.org EVER until you ran away.
Your lawyers are going to have a fun time taking money for nothing off you for this. I really look forward to meeting you soon.
For those of you who even slightly beleive Warren Smith, please find out how people were (picture of screw)ed over by visiting this link: http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/archive/index.php/t-30506.html
Leetest form of linux there is. The primary OS I now use. Kubuntu, Dapper Drake, 6.06 LTS. I really think people should use this as their default OS
For those of you who dont know, I run Kubuntu OS as my desktop OS. With all the queerness of Microsofts Anti Piracy campaign, I have decided to completely leave the MicroSoft world. Sure, I loose windows media player and some gaming choices. However, you do get awsome games like warsow that are completely open source, and LOADS of fun to play. If you are in South Africa, there is a South African warsow server gracefully hosted by Web Africa. When in the game just type "connect warsow.webfafrica.co.za" And you will connect to the server to be able to jam with the rest of us.
This is a response to the writer of an opinion piece on Thoughtleader who goes by the name of Senteletse Diakanyo (a South African).

I consider this a book that every South African should read to get perspective in their lives. Its honesty is most refreshing and Al Lovejoy`s ability to capture in words the essence of a culture and history of a generation of south Africans is amazing. Al Lovejoy has earned a lot of respect from a generation of youth who appretiate the truth. Thank you Al.
Other reviews:
‘Acid Alex is quite simply one of the most shocking autobiographies I have ever read. It is also well-written, addictive, excellent.’
– Sue Blaine, Business Day
‘Heartbreaking! Entertaining! Intelligent!’
– Erns Grundling, SL magazine
‘Nothing I have read has sketched the scorched social landscape of South Africa’s last half-century with such intensity and honesty. Read it.’
– Charles Thesen, Marie Claire
‘There are elements of Hunter S Thompson, Herman Charles Bosman, William Burroughs and William Wharton. But in the end it is an amazing story told in a unique voice. A voice moulded by pain, a voice honed by a government reformatory..., whetted by the SADF, and sharpened by Pretoria Central.
It is the story of a man who went to hell and came back, a morality tale, a Bildungsroman, the narrative of a f*ckup who found redemption, and the anthem of a lost generation.’– Caspar Greeff, Sunday Times
‘Truly, as Koos Kombuis says, this is “an astonishingly breathless story” … Besides being a great read, Acid Alex is an invaluable record of a type of mania that gripped a certain type of South African in the last quarter of the 20th century. It’s a book that’s going to appeal to many young South Africans who currently have to turn to the United States for their myths of pointless excess, and it’s going to inspire them. Not necessarily in a particularly savoury way.’
– Chris Roper, Mail & Guardian
This book is more than just a suggested read.

In what has to be a remarkable show of insight into the power of social networking, a British Indie band is offering their album free to download off their website. This is one band, that seems to have googled it. It looks like the older corporate models are failing and hopefully the world will not have to tolerate the insanity that is RIAA much longer.
I love artists with scope.
South Africa needs science and South Africa needs prominent scientific voices. Unfortunately, like the media in much of the rest of the world, South Africa's media is not nearly welcoming enough to the skeptical and scientific views of the world. Luckily, we have great examples from the United States and elsewhere of how self-publication through blogs can affect public discourse, promoting science and acting as a counterweight to indifference, ignorance, and gullibility. However, unlike our comrades elsewhere, South African science bloggers are unconnected and not organized. I propose to change that...Read More

"Yeah its official. South Africa now has an official Wikileaks mirror. This can be accessed by the address http://www.wikileaks.za.org .
The site is currently hosted on multiple servers with hosting in the United States, South Africa, Sweden as well as two off the grid solutions. It will basically be impossible to take down the South African copy of the site for any extended length of the time.
The server and site is currently hardened against anticipated attacks from American secret services. A special thanks to the guys and girls at http://www.mybroadband.co.za for help in motiviation and support for getting wikileaks.za.org up. Please note that MyBroadband in no way endorses wikileaks.za.org and this is a private project by individual MyBB members.
We also recommend a special form of protest for those fighting against wikileaks and free speech. For the big detractors we are offering them white feathers.
Wikileaks is most likely the most important tool for Free Speech since the inception of the Freedom of Information act."

I came across this site by Anup Shah that has a detailed look into the causes of poverty. I found some of the statistics he shows to be very embarrassing and a shameful reflection on humanity today.
* Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
* The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined.
* Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
* Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
* 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).
Anup Shah shows us the institutions, policies and people behind many of today's causes of poverty.

Just to let you know that Wikileaks has an official South African mirror. http:///www.wikileaks.za.org . Share and link this url as many times as you can to do your bit to make sure wikileaks never goes down.
Ever wondered how many babies are being pushed out every day, or how many people are dying every minute? Well this is the place for you then! This meter currently records those tpes of things, and with a population of 6.5 billion, there are lots of interesting stats for you to check out.
