Peer-to-peer users share candid shots

Enjoy candid photography and documents from the hard drives of others through Gnutella

It’s interesting what people put on the peer-to-peer networks and not realize. See, when installing certain Gnutella-network peer-to-peer applications such as Limewire or Bearshare, the user is given options to make certain folders shared. 1. But I have no way of knowing; I can only assume that they fully know and comprehend their actions in publishing their pictures and documents to the network. I imagine that certain common folders such as “My Documents” are shared by hapless idiots, not knowing that they are publishing their lives to the world [1]. DSC00610Thusly, files like Word documents, pictures, useless .dll files, and countless more are available for others to download.

My Gnutella client of choice is Acquisition for the Mac. Unlike Limewire, it’s Mac-like interface is not based on Java, so it’s quicker and less quirky, and makes for finding hentai manga fun and easy.

Their unwitting exhibitionism provides for wonderfully creepy adventures. For the more voyeuristic of our readers, much fun can be had by peaking into the lives of others by seeing their private photographs and documents. All it takes for such ethically-dubious behavior is to know what to type into your search field.

For instance, type in the word resume (i.e. résumé), and find what people don’t know they have included in their shared folders: their entire life’s history. I was able to get some résumé-writing tips simply by reading a real-world example. It’s amazing how many people use Word templates.

But résumés are somewhat boring; what else can one find?

The real fun: Pictures

Type in the letters “DSC,” a common naming-scheme for several cameras, and eureka!, a wonderful cornucopia of breached privacy.

Random pictures include:

  • An elderly couple at Kansas City Chiefs football game
  • A Hindu family at get-together (possibly wedding)
  • Bridal shower
  • Cyclists in Germany readying for start of race
  • A black flashing is idiocy through hand gestures
  • Hideous English woman on all fours wearing a Playboy bunny suit
  • This guy:

The real fun can come after, because applications like Acquisition and Limewire allow a person to browse through all files made available on that person’s hard drive. So if the first picture of ugly dog isn’t enough, you can see the other pictures on the roll.

The Shadowy Underside of Korea

Back at my shoes [the hooker] compliments me on my penis size. “I like Americans — they are kind to women.” The comment’s irony isn’t lost on me.

Photoshop is overkill; use iWeb to more easily create aqua buttons like those in OS X.

The Cat Came Back

She was devoutly religious – fanatically so, but she had the habit of wearing a mid-thigh length army camouflage mini-skirt that seemed to scream “Someone, anyone, please fuck me!”

K-Line Colamite

“I got on and sat my beautiful glutes in a row of two unused seats facing forward, taking the window seat. It’s a good thing, too, because a perfectly poundable Asian pussy rested its lips on the seat next to me.”

Are you tired of living a 90% awesome life? Or are you one the lucky few whose life is just ‘mega-awesome.’ (yawn.) Well get ready to blow awesome and mega-awesome away with my newest book and CD series.

Night With BG

So I looks around, to see if it’s clear.
Then I says, “damn girl, it’s gettin hot in here.”
I pull down my draws, unfold my lollypop,
Lean in and whisper, “I’ll tell you when to stop.”

Set to Warren G’s ‘Regulate,’ blogger Bang Ganger sets the defiling of a woman’s body to rhyme.

Trip to N Korea

The DMZ itself is infested with landmines and anyone trying to make it across would not make it very far. Covered in guard towers on both sides, you often find yourself being watched by N Korean soldiers.
