Iz All Abut Ze Pirates, Arh!
For those that were a little behind on the news, its Happy International ‘Talk Like A Pirate’ Day. Also, in other news, The Pirate Bay is in full support of OpenInternet.se, so all the best for them in keeping The Pirate Bay alive! So, before you continue reading, make a Tweet about it on Twitter or go to Facebook now and set your language preference to English (Pirate) BETA.
As you may have already known, this major online event and possibly ‘reality’ of ‘Talk Like A Pirate Day’ is the talk of the day. Its officially a Twitter trending topic and there’s even official sites for it. For those that wish to find out about the ‘Talk Like A Pirate Day’ origin, here is a small abstract from Wikipedia’s article, it seems that this year it has become a more international online movement than before.
International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD) is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol’ Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy), of Albany, Oregon,[1] who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate.[1] For example, an observer of this holiday would greet friends not with “Hello,” but with “Ahoy, me hearty!” The holiday, and its observance, springs from a romanticized view of the Golden Age of Piracy. The holiday is a major observance in the parody religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
From Wikipedia – International Talk Like A Pirate Day
Yes, like the Wikipedia article says, its just a parodic holiday, and perhaps an international online meme. And as with events like these, it gives owners for MMOs, Online Services, etc a chance to setup promotions and offers to celebrate the occassion.
Several MMOs, such as World of Warcraft, Kingdom of Loathing, Lord of the Rings Online and Guild Wars have introduced special events for the day, permitting characters to receive special appearances or special in-game prizes or drops.[17]

Personally, I would be setting up a few hosting packages for this, but seeing as I have already put one out for the September Promotion, I don’t think thats necessary. Well, why is it so popular? and a global phenomenon?
Well, like most other things that have taken off in the last few years, it’s the Internet that’s fueled it. Although it hasn’t amassed the 126 million times the “Evolution of Dance” video has been watched, there are more than 1,500 “Talk Like a Pirate” videos on YouTube, and more than 12 million websites dedicated in some way to the holiday.

In other news, the Pirate Bay has a new facelift on the homepage with OpenInternet’s logo, and if you have the time, be sure to check out their website as they have put up a few FAQs, especially relevant to online crime (cybercrime). As far as I’m concern, the whole rumour of Pirate Bay being a paid service or having some form of payment is not true, it remains a public tracker and is still accessible for many. Their recent blog article talks about the ’support to stop people like Monique Wasted and Peter Dworsky from abusing and harassing ISP:s and small business owners, costing them hundreds of thousands in legal costs’ too, so long live OpenInternet.se and The Pirate Bay! It currently has over 280+ comments.
The Black Internet case was just the first step to eradicate the Pirate Bay, but it has not stop it and lets hope they’ll continue (: For the moment, there isn’t much news about the Pirate Bay being bought over, as far as I can see, the buyer is facing a few setbacks, primarily due to the fact they can’t actually afford it! See Here.
Remember to check out Aerosol Studios affiliate sites including Aerosol Hostings and our future Frozone Networks now known as Aerosol Networks. I’ll be online all day, so remember to leave me a Twitter reply @MrSaints. Happy ‘Talk Like A Pirate Day’ and long live The Pirate Bay.
Please also welcome our new bloggers Flipps and Yui as well as Theodore (whom is quiet at the moment), hopefully they will spend some time to introduce themselves too! Welcome aboard guys!
Tagging FTW! And credits to the success of this article and any in the future to all the links specified above (See Here bits).

Since the first http://www.frostbitee.com/ which wasn’t referred to as Aerosol Studios (FrozoneNET or something I believe), it has finally achieved over 20,000 unique views! It did seem quite a long time till now for it to reach 20,000, but I’m satisfied (: Seeing as this blog isn’t really publicised or known well, only amongst my peers, i’m just glad it has made a successful 20,000 UNIQUE views.
Lets start counting towards a sweet 30,000 views and the first 100th comment on this blog (: I might throw in a little surprise too, but I’ll see. Thanks for reading if you are or following up with us. Thanks to everyone for making this possible. I still remember the time when I was hosting it on XAMPP on my own home computer, Haha good times good times.
Since I have some other featured articles, I’ll just keep this as my asides, nothing majorly important but just for note. And also, 20% of these hits are from search engine referrers. Majority of them are linked-in or entered directly.
EDIT: Haha I felt a need to add this bit, but my web host compensated me 5days instead of 20days and consistently make mistakes in understanding my requests. Its really annoying…
Its perfect! THANKS. =D
Aerosol Studios.
Do not ask me.

Inspite of my previous post (ages back) about some ‘Matahari Malam’ that exploited a security vulnerability on my school’s website and hacked it; I would like to make a small clarification that I have no involvement or knownledge of whatever happened yesterday (9/9/9).
The mere use of ‘Aerosol’ as a team name has no relevance to Aerosol Studios, and I take it that most of my close online friends would recognize that I do not have such capabilities to do so. So this is just a small clarification that, the use of this so-call ‘Team Aerosol’ has no LINKS, no RELEVANCE or in no way have anything to do with me, Aerosol Hostings, etc.
So stop with your random accussations (if you are). I do take a common interest in recognizing the issues the site may face or the issues its currently facing (just like many people would), but I do not in anyway consider abusing such flaws or going through the trouble of learning how to, hence, I do not bother about it. This site is publicly available and there is a high chance anyone could had stumble onto such site.
I must admit, it was really funny whilst it lasted when I heard about it through Facebook.
P.S. It would quite anger me seeing a small contribution I made to Moodle (yes, the logo) being defaced, so no.
New Modifications

Hey, if you have been checking this blog lately you’ll have noticed some changes 
For starters, I’m not quite sure whether I should change the current template since its full of wonderful features I’m currently using for it as well as simple and organized. But anyways, lets run through the changes:
- Lifestream now auto-posts a “DIGEST” of my whole 24 hours lifestream log. So it will basically make a post with all the lifestream events within a 24 hours period into one post under the section DIGEST. Sub-category of GENERAL – Lifestream events located on the left side of the page.
- Added more feeds into the lifestream to grab from (E.g. Assembla, Twitpic, Photobucket and more!).
- Smart YouTube Plugin Added – This allows me to easily publish YouTube videos and have them show up on the RSS feeds correctly, its pretty handy and I added a “Aerosol Spotlight” onto the right side of the page, which will display the current highlight video of my choice everyday!
- WP-Polls, I installed this ages ago but I never actually remembered adding it onto the template, its not added and will show random blogs on the left hand side of the page, you can view the results or archive (on the page – navigation above).
- Security Updates, besides upgrading Wordpress (old story), I have installed Semisecure, Secure WP, CHAP System and some other stuff + some modifications of my own to secure my Wordpress just a little bit more than it is.
- Page Articles count increased (displays more on the main page now).
- Some other stuff I can’t recall?
Anyways, thats more or less about it, also, if my Flickr seems to be the same for quite some time, I may have posted the images on Twitpic instead, so you can check out my Twitpic for awesome uploads at:
Its more or less the same with my Flickr but I show featured stuff there instead 
My Photobucket is set on private so I’m kinda’ lazy to change it and integrate it.
Besides that, thanks for viewing my blog hope you like the updates.
P.S. I got school tomorrow, shit busy, shit stressed and shit confused. Lol. Well… Not really, so I’ll be writing again soon! Also don’t forget to check my Twitter updates! *Tweet Tweet*
