Hattin the haters. Hi Nigel!

A LOT of people do not like me. Nigel is a guy I use to work with who really hates me. I am not sure why. One day things were fine, the next he just wouldn't talk to me. I think the boss liked me more than him, or he did not like the fact that I was hanging out with other guys in on our team. What ever the reason, he quit to move back to England citing his frustration with Japan as the reason. Now about every couple of months I get a mail from my blog system that says, someone new has signed up for a account and I need to approve them. Lots of times it is someone who actually wants a account or just someone trying to get a account to make some blog link spam. But every once and a while it is Nigel. I mean the evidence is always so obvious. He always uses my name or someone else who we both know or some rude word in Japanese along with my work email address. This blog is not so popular, so I personally approve every account, and catch him every time. One time I even went as far to tracking down the IP, which lead me to a school. sagamihara-kng.ed.jp I called the school and asked for him and the person on the phone said he was not available. I asked if he worked there and they said yes. Today I got this; I looked in my log and found this; "221.187.33.153 - - [01/Mar/2009:17:29:54 +0900] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 6602 "http://www.erinhughes.com/user/register" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko Galeon/2.0.5"" I then looked that IP up with a IP location service, and got some geo-coordinators for the IP. Nigel is this your house? Is this the apartment building you are living in now? I have long forgotten about working with you. Please forget about me. I am sure it is Nigel because, the ip resolves to: [root@command01 ~]# dig perennial.jp ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P1-RedHat-9.5.1-1.P1.fc10 <<>> perennial.jp ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 18988 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 5, ADDITIONAL: 5 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;perennial.jp.

Which now will probably receive more hits than it ever has before. I also see now that Nigel is teaching English, so if you need a English, English teacher, I suggest contacting him. Either way this is taken up 30 minutes of my time that I cant get back, next time Nigel, I will just pop by the shop for a word. This is with out a doubt where you can be found? Right? E./
