The report calls out NebuAd, which recently began a high-profile partnership with cable operator Charter, and it doesn't mince words. The NebuAd system "commandeers users' Web browsers," makes use of a "browser exploit," and operates "by using what is effectively a classic man-in-the-middle attack."

...

NebuAd works its targeted advertising magic by partnering with ISPs and installing a box in their network. The box examines inbound and outbound traffic from all users, and it builds a highly-targeted profile for each Internet user by taking a look at the sites that people visit and the keywords displayed there. These profiles are then used by NebuAd to insert relevant advertising into web pages that have elected to use to the NebuAd network

1. They are changing the funding for all of Valley Medical Center, so the department I've been going to is being gutted.
2. I believe they are putting us all on a "every few months" drug-refill clinic instead, which seems kind of impossible for me given that I take a C2 drug that can only be given out in 30-day supplies.
3. As this is the last time I'm probably going to see this particular psych (no big loss), I need to beat it into her head that I need to be put on stronger doses of several of these things now, or I have to start that explanation over from the beginning with a new psych.
4. After the last month of fanime, social activities, and concerts... I'm really fscking stressed. Trying to ask for drugs like adderall while fighting off a panic attack is not a recipe for success.

1. TUE: Finish all the changes I keep getting told about for this registration software I'm writing, including the rest of the charts that finance wants, if that's even possible. Somewhere in there, find time to go to my psych appointment and deal with the hassle the pharmacy will give me when trying to get a prescription for amphetamines filled quickly.
2. WED: Early morning (relatively speaking) hauling of all the computers and other equipment to the registration. Then spending most of the day measuring, cutting, and putting 100+ RJ-45 connectors on all the CAT-5 we are using. Oh, and gaffing down as much of it as I can.
3. THU: Finishing up yet more bugs/features that are lacking, and testing all 40+ computers. Giving out accounts to all 80+ registration staff by hand. Oh, and hoping this entire fscking miracle is pulled off for when the fanboys start pouting in when we open reg at ~5pm
4. FRI: First day of Early Mornings. Getting up at 6AM to shower and be at the convention center to turn setup and turn on all 40 computers/etc, so we can open to the real hoards of fans at 8AM. Try and stay sane until 8pm, and sleep early.
5. SAT: The real Early Morning. Another 6am start. There's probably 1000 fans waiting to get in by 8am, with another 5k ready to show up in the next 6 hours, so my amphetamines and anti-anxiety pills better hold out.
6. SUN: 3rd day of 8am->8pm reg. Probably a slower day, as if there was a problem, it probably fucked us all in earlier days.
7. MON: Extra problems. We start selling next-year's badges here, so new problems are sure to crop up. Finance will probably be hounding me for those charts I didn't do, too.
8. TUE: Spend most of the day tearing all the equipment down, and packing it back into our storage units. I probably have to give some final reports and database dump here, but I am SO not thinking that far ahead right now...
9. WED: If I survive all that, pass out for several days.

...this show will be reminiscent of the infamous "1989 Inferno Xpress Tour". It will feature many songs from the Wax Trax years: including hits like "Kooler Than Jesus", "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan", "The Days Of Swine & Roses", "The Devil Does Drugs", and, of course "Cuz It's Hot"!
