www.vimer.cn is where you download the Python 2.6 version of something
(I don't do so well with simplified Chinese). I'm sure that vimer.cn
is (Dante) Zhu NianYang's personal blog. Anyway, I haven't gotten any
malware yet!

I'm not quite sure what to make of www.quishibaike.com. Apparently,
quishi is "awkwardness". Baike is "hundred books" which usually means
encyclopedia, or in this case, a wiki. Perhaps it's a Chinese version
of Fail my Life (www.fmylife.com)?
