Triangle Boy Lives

The source code for Triangle Boy 1.0 is available immediately. Those who wish to volunteer to host a Triangle Boy machine can download the free program from the SafeWeb site at http://fugu.safeweb.com/webpage/tboy-1.0.3.tar.gz. Volunteers must have a PC running Linux or Windows NT/2000.

I had downloaded Triangle Boy and put it on my Linux machine when it was released so I get around various blocks at different places where I used the Internet. When SafeWeb called it quits, my Triangle Boy client continued to work which I found interesting. But I didn't complain.

That is until someone in Taiwan spammed a whole bunch of people with my IP address advertising it as a way to get around Chinese Internet censorship (my friend translated the Simplified Chinese in the e-mail). My ISP found out that my IP address was in the e-mail and was pissed and suspended my account (Ironically not because I was running Triangle Boy, but because my IP address was in the e-mail. They though *I* sent out the spam!) I just shut down the program, but lesson learned I guess.
