I suppose I could start this post with some history.  History of how we first met up with Greg King, or of the first attacks he launched on us, or how we first started the case against him way back in 2004.  I could go into the GB’s worth of logs that I have manually read through, or the (literally) dozens of chats, both on public IRC and in private message, that I have had with Greg.  I could even get into my own non-professional psycho-analysis of his (imo) dysfunctional mind or his obscenity-plagued-and-drug-referenced use of language.

I could… but I’m sure most of that will be released slowly in the coming months as the trial progresses and information reaches the WWW.  Besides, why read here when you can read it in any of the thousands of other sites that are focusing on the arrest (even though they are focusing on a site that was attacked for a week, more than one that was attacked for years, but whatever… an arrest is an arrest).  Instead, I think I’ll focus on a lighter note.

Morale.  What’s that, you say?  Well, when Greg was running free, we were under a constant threat of having our sites attacked again (and again, and again), causing yet more damage to the systems and loss of data and coding.  It makes it hard for anyone to want to actually do anything, when you don’t even know how long it will be there for.  With Greg’s arrest, it’s like a weight has been lifted.  People are more willing to talk openly, and to participate in conversations on the forums again.  The threat has been, shall we say, neutralized… (more…)

Before I post the article here, I’d just like to point out that this is the case that Adaera has been working on for 4 years now, and we finally have results. So Congratulations to Killanet Technology, and to Adaera for her hard work on this incident. Adaera’s smile when I came home from work today more than made up for all of the time spent sifting through logs, and talking on the phone with the FBI, and the frustration that I felt in thinking that the case was not going to go anywhere. I love you Tami, and thank you for your perseverance, and in making sure that this kiddie is where he belongs… behind bars. (more…)

We each have a quest… a goal in life that we aspire to reach.  While some are misguided along the way, others succeed with phenomenal results, leaving the rest of us in awe at what they have managed to do in their short time here.
I thought I knew why I was here.  Note the use of past tense.  Events that have taken place in this past year has sent my “plans” into chaos, calling for a sudden “rewrite”.  A few times, I thought I had it all figured out again, only to have life toss another grenade in my direction, throwing things into disarray.  Well, I think this time I might have it beat.  I hope so, at least, because this current quest… this current goal to which I wish to aspire to reach, is one that I can be happy with.  It’s not merely to survive, nor to “have the most toys”.  No, the quest I have picked to follow is something different from those.  I have finally found love, and through it, happiness.  Yeah, sappy moment.  But ya know something?  That’s cool, because even when I have moments of doubt where I question if these feelings are real or just in my mind, Tami does something that totally blows me away and reminds me that it’s for her I now breath.
Will she ever see this?  Likely not… (more…)
