Working for Microsoft

I received a Flickr message from microsoft_contact tonight telling me that I have published some photos under the BY Creative Commons license and "That is why, for its new website, MICROSOFT will offer free downloads of your photos on the following French site www.personnalisez-votre-pc.com to be used as screen savers."

They insist that they will mention my name and put a link to my flickr page and to the licence, and that if I do not object within 15 days it means I am in agreement with these terms.

I fail to see how I could object given that they do more than the license require, but that's nice from them to ask!

I found one here which is BY-SA, not BY. I don't know if they used more.

That warmed me up while being trapped in Dublin by the snow.

IPv6 availability status

Google is now publishing simple statistics on IPv6 access of its users. This is the percentage of users that are able to successfully connect via IPv6, measured by adding a js trying to connect to a dual stacked host to a random part of search results.

Good news is that the number of people with native IPv6 connectivity doubled since last year. Bad news is that it increased from 0.1% to 0.2%.

The worst of twitter

#femalesneedto start giving more fellacios and demanding less cunnilinguses
#femalesneedto put makeup on everyday just like the kardashians. It's a good look!!! Those girls always be hawt!!
#FemalesNeedTo Realize That All Niggas Not The Same and Stop Fuckin With These Lame Niggas.
#femalesneedto to stop kissing other females.
#femalesneedto give it up more. Come on, is the occasional blow job so much to ask??? Take one for the team every now and again.
#femalesneedto think about how to make their man happy
#FemalesNeedTo shut the fck up && listen sumtime. believe it or not, u dont always have the most relevant shit to say
#FemalesNeedTo need to realize they're not the only one. Theres more out there. #PlentyOfFishInTheSea
