Click Frenzy

Australia had its own version of the US Black Friday sales today. It's still going on now, but good luck to anyone who can manage to buy anything at all. Looks like the organisers sorely underestimated the amount of people that want to get on the site. The only click frenzy I was doing was constantly clicking on refresh to try and get past the 'File not found' or 'server too busy' errors.

In a silly mood

I am in a silly mood at the moment, due partially to sleep deprivation, caused by my 5 year old son. In this state, I decided to see how easy it is to set up a Facebook page. Answer is, very easy as long as you are not a terrorist organisation.

You see, it was perfectly easy to set up https://www.facebook.com/superheromrincredible about an ugly superhero but when I tried another page for an organisation named "Al Qaeda", strangely enough Facebook would not allow it.

So I checked why....

Obviously Facebook would only accept this page name from Osama Bin Laden or, perhaps
Ayman al-Zawahiri these days.
