At around 11:25 AM CST, gentle reader and high school buddy Dave messaged me and asked, “Do you want me to go raw on 211.76.97.230?” In mere moments, he informed me that the offender probably hails from Taiwan–he used this site to obtain that information–and that the mysterious Vlad may find this incident amusing to boot.

Now, these two guys are smart with books and stuff. Dave, after all, goes to Cornell and Vlad goes to Columbia. What our company really needs, however, is their collective computer savvy. Dave runs a computer business and Vlad is just plain nuts. I mean, he apparently built a wireless Linux router in a toolbox on a whim. More importantly, however, he has “tons of tricks up his sleeve,” said Dave.

I’m not exactly sure what these tricks are, but it seems we have a profound ethical issue at hand, gentle reader. Should Secondhand Rants outsource our, how do you say, “IT needs” and hack this guy’s ass? Probably not. Since the weather turned out pleasant today, I’ll probably just mail the people and request that they stop.

Oh, and Mr. 211.76.97.230? If you’re literate and you’re reading my site, I’ll let you in on another little secret. I lied before. I actually store all of my personal info in “C:My Documents.” Make sure to download “Super Secret Happy Luck No.1 Credit Card Informations.doc” along with “Best Jumbo Password Storing.doc.” Knock yourself out. Literally.
