I am the ghost of groovymother.com. Woooooo!
This is an old page from Rod Begbie's blog.
It only exists in an attempt to prevent linkrot. No new content will be added to this site, and links and images are liable to be broken. Check out begbie.com to find where I'm posting stuff these days.

PayPal phishes itself
A genuine email I received from PayPal directs the user to "SECURE.UNINITIALIZED.REAL.ERROR.COM", an apparently common problem.
Oh, if I were only less scrupulous, I'm sure I could get the funding to purchase error.com
Antisocial: a Javascript demo
Amazing bit of JavaScript hackery. The demo itself is cute and funny, but make sure to play with the demotool.
Is Sarah Palin as racist as her supporters?
Unashamed racist waiting in line outside a Sarah Palin rally. McCain/Palin may not be being outwardly racist themselves, but they’re certainly creating an atmosphere where racists feel comfortable sharing their abhorent views.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Beautiful animation of the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
a912rtag9?
Since breaking the search box on groovymother a couple of weeks ago, I’ve spotted a lot of XSS attempts in my logs. The phrase “a912rtag9” in particular seems to appear a lot, and it looks like it’s a bot spidering search boxes across the internet. Anyone know its origin? UPDATED TO ADD: Looks like it’s Yahoo’s Slurp Bot making these requests! Also, the Googlebot is searching for “a912rtag6”. (And yes, I’ve verified the IP addresses) How odd!
