Good link Dharma.

I really like that guy. He's honest, he's sincere, he's genuine and above all he shows what can be done with time and effort.

Kudos John Chow. Truly an inspiration.

In Netscape 7.0 on XP, it completely killed my connectivity- I couldn't connect to any other sites until after I restarted the browser. In Firefox under OSX, it caused the window and all of it's tabs to completely freeze up. I closed the window and tried it again, in it's own window rather than a tab, and this time it only froze up it's own window. The article starts to load, then vanishes, except for the logo at the top. The window says waiting for pub.mybloglog.com... , and refuses stop loading, reload, or to open any other tabs. I know I won't be visiting his blog again any time soon, at least not until I know it won't hash my computer...

Worked perfectly for me WanderingOak. This guy is a bit of a technical wizard so I don't think he fudged up the display in any way.

All I know is that it gummed up the works in both my my work PC, and my Mac at home. My work PC is under anti-malware lockdown, without even a flash plugin, so I figured that was the problem. The Mac is about 6 years old, but I have the latest updates installed. What browser were you using?

Edit: I just closed the window for his site, and Firefox CPU usage dropped from 65% down to 6%. Something ain't quite right...
