title: Banner Ads Suck
---

Well, I finally decided I'd had enough of banner ads.  
<a href="http://www.tynian.net/">Brian</a> mentioned something a few days
ago about
<a href="http://www.junkbusters.com/">JunkBuster</a>, so I decided to
spend a bit of time setting it up on my home machine.  It took me
a few evenings of adding common urls to my configs, but it's really
starting to pay off now.  I went ahead and tossed my config directory
up; you can grab it 
<a href="/downloads/?only=junkbuster_0_1_0_20010726_tar_gz">here</a>.
There's a source tarball, an RPM, and a Windows executable available on
the page, and 
<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> users can just 
<code>apt-get install junkbuster</code>.
