Letter to Ministry of Sound

Sander — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:07:55 +0000

Dear sir/madam,
I am writing you to complain about the new ministry of sound website and the lack of data protection with regards to your users.

Earlier today I received an email notification about the new MoS website. The email also notified me that a new password was issued to use on the website. These are two characteristics of a phishing mail - in this case launching a new website and sending out new passwords, they could easily have been sent from a malicious source wanting me to login to their MoS-lookalike website and take my credit card details. You shouldn’t send out a new password unless someone requests it on your website, because email can be forged. You also sent out my password in plain text email rather than on a secure part of your website. Anyone can read it and login to my account and purchase orders.

Also to my surprise while investigating the source of the mail, several of the links point to a http://www.c-f-1.com/ domain, the name doesn’t help to improve the trust in your email. To my astonishment the link led to a webpage with the html email, again with my password in plain sight. Have a look (link removed), I changed my password already. Let’s wait for Google to index it so that anyone can search for my account information. They already found other newsletters.

Finally, I used mosdownload.com to buy my mp3s online. This site no longer works as an error comes up when it tries to redirect, due to a configuration error. My order history is gone, most of my profile is gone.

I’m very disappointed with your lack of security and care for your customers and unfortunately have come to the conclusion that I won’t be using your service again, and I will recommend my friends and family to do the same, due to these trust issues.

Purple Rain DJ Event Flyer

Sander — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 20:53:26 +0000

As you can see below I created a flyer/poster for an event in Second Life. For those who don’t know, Second life is a virtual world created entirely by its users. Anyone can create an account and log on to build things, meet people for a chat, or dance in a club for example. Or fight in a Star Wars battle as a wookie. Or watch a movie in a cinema. Yep if you can think of it, you can probably do it.

Anyway, on friday night between 1-3pm PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) I have a DJ set in a nightclub called Purple Rain. I play some trip-hop, electro to a small crowd for a few hours. The club has decided to organize a DJ Talent contest and asked me to create a promotional poster. As there was a lot of information to put on and no photos so I decided to play around with positioning, grouping and lighting of text. The result is below. I think it turned out well.

How do you promote your SL event?

Update: I do not play at Purple Rain anymore. Find me “Cloudseer Writer” online in Second Life.
