PHPIDS - get it!

0×37 things

Arshan Dabirsiaghi is a guy who is almost always wrong. Almost. Today he was right the first time for a pretty long time. He was right when stating that I (.mario – not christ1an or Lars) would hate him for dragging me into this 7 things meme thing. Anyway – here’s what’s asked for :)

We all know the rules for this game – add a back-link for the one who forced you into doing this, state seven more or less personal things about oneself and what’s making this meme so ultimately dangerous: lure seven other people into it. So – let’s just start to get this over with.

  • I collected stamps as child. And coins. And phone-cards. Seriously. I started when being about five years old and quit like three or four years later. I have no comparable hobbies today.
  • I consider Apocalypse Now! the best movie I have ever seen – and I saw it more than five times. Directly followed by Fight Club – both masterpieces about human behavior in several interesting situations, the past, the future and things that will never change no matter how hard we try.
  • The basic idea for the PHPIDS approached when being on a conference and trying to hack a dating site – which surprisingly detected my dirty attempts and warned me. I was that impressed that I wanted to have such a feature for my own sites – the PHPIDS was born.
  • I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I know – it’s damn 2002 and pretty childish – but the Freudian styled characters – especially Meatwad – get me any time I watch it again. I also dig the other stuff from Williams Street. They really pushed the limit and made me enjoy TV again – at least the American broadcastings.
  • I still have nightmares then and when taking me back to the time at the university. Mostly I am happy in these dreams that all the work has been done – and then suddenly I realize that I missed one important exam. Usually I am pretty glad when waking up and slowly fade back to reality. I should visit someone for professional help. Maybe Arshan.
  • I love the Big King XXL. That burger-monster from… you know it. I feel guilty while eating it. I feel bad after eating it. I have nightmares the night after (mostly about missed exams… Arshan!) – but I nevertheless like it and eat once or twice a month. Irritating? Yes.
  • Right know I am damn happy about the most important decision I made last year. Quitting my job. Finally being able again to create things that either make sense – and not only circumvent existing structures and living patterns for their own sake feels great – and shows me what I missed and learned at the same time.

What – that’s it. Now for the hardest part of this 7 thing task. Bringing misery over seven other people. Here they are:

  • fukami – because all the other stuff on your blog is plain boring :)
  • Reiners – if I were a database I would just run when seeing you around. Just run.
  • christ1an – I am just curious what you will write.
  • kuza55 – the youngest troll I know.
  • Click.. – erm – RSnake – for the whole RSnaking.. erm Clickjacking buzz.
  • teemow – for being an old man in very tight and short jeans.
  • Tim – for making you blog about something else than food recipes.
