send in the FEDS well… navy anyway

I had some weird things happening whilst doing some design work tonight (in firefox), I switched across to IE and it stalled – note the IP:

spies in the navy

I used who.is to check the domain was google (in case of spyware had snuck in somehow) and found this:

Now that weirded me out.

So I ran a tracert to see what showed up and that was clear, I googled the base above (it’s a biggy btw – the Commander Navy Installation Command).

Closed IE, had a glass of water… got a bit paranoid… then confused – were they looking at me, or was it some weird anomaly?

Went back to do a tracert to my server and it was normal…

reloaded IE and FF – both worked as normal… by my maths the whole thing from first noticing weirdness to ti not seeming to happen anymore took about 30mins.

PLEASE can anyone tell me wtf (sorry mum, but its a def. wtf moment) this was all about?

So, feds, Mi5, spooks, navy – if you want to ask me something, please do so.

If it’s a weird net anomaly, bleedin nora – spooky as heck.

I need some herbal tea now.

Wedding Photos!

So the wedding was groovy, lovely day, very individual wedding, had a look round and here are the photo galleries I know about:

Mark + Clare Conningsby’s photo galleries: one, two and three

Mick Richardson’s Pics

Tom Martin’s photos

Lucy Hewitt’s mostly wedding photos (and us in the black mountains on sunday)

William Remlap’s pictures

and my, random photos from the weekend (not so wedding-y)

If you know of any more please let me know!

UPDATE: It looks like Facebook are not letting non-users see global galleries any more – I know they updated their T+Cs last week but I hadn’t realised that was part of it – I guess if you’re a non facebooker then you’d need to sign up to see them – sorry.
