CubClub
The words "cubclub" and "gnuthings" were banned from a big local motorcycle website. I can't imagine how the big motorcycle forum operator is being threatened by a small niche community site like cubclub.gnuthings.com. Their arguments are:

1. Linking from their website through signatures and post is being a "parasite". But they have a link exchange engine. So that's hicpocrisy and BS.

2. There was repeated warnings. What warning? There was zilch.

It was just a case of the site becoming more and more popular that they believe it was a threat to their "only one" status. It's a case where; it's like the SM mall erasing the words "tindahan ni aling nena" on your paper bag if you walk into their facility.

I didn't argue any further. I almost have forgotten the parable of the SLEX/NLEX operators
You can have a very good reason/argument but they still own the place. Their rule prevails.

Vulture cops
The vulture cops are at it again. We were peacfully plying EDSA when a motorcycle rinding MMDA ran alongside us and asking us to pull over. We asked why? They vulture said, you ain't wearing a seatbelt. But it's on! We protested. They suddenly moved away from us. Note: it was 10 am. during this time of the day, these vultures invent things just to extort money from motorists to have some money for snacks. @$$****!

F1
It's the season ending race of the F1 season. Some of my notes of the season:

Fernando Alonso did the intelligent thing. He may have been cruisin to F1 glory but he has showed at the Japanese GP that he can race. Even though Kimi won that one, I still think FA did the more aggressive and fantastic race.

Giancarlo Fisichella did not live up to his hype. He was always hyped as a world champ material without a top car. But he did poorly on the WDC and probably the WCC winning car.

Mark Webber is overhyped as well. He did well previously on middle of the grid cars. But when he came to Williams, he can only qualify fast but did so poorly during the races that a lot suddenly doubted his ability in a fast car.

Nick Heidfeld is really good. This guy just needs to improve on qualifying. He has to go through a shootout just to get the seat at Williams at the start of the year. But he has beat Webber in the same car and even got to the podium before the other could.

Takuma Sato went downhill. He did good last year. But this year, he only got 1 point while his team mate got a lot. He always crash into somebody else's car and even did that too in Japan where he normally does so well.
