Well today I have to go to court for a parking ticket I was issued way back in January or something. Only problem is that I was hoping to gather up some evidence (photos, measurements) to help my case but I never got around to it, and then I just realized that the trial is today. I think I might need a little more than heresay to beat this count of Murder 1.

This weekend was fairly eventful. I went to visit Unit3 and pick up an original Street Fighter II arcade machine but the arcade was closed! That sucked hardcore, but I left some money with Unit3 so he could pick it up for me some day and then just bring it back to S'toon in his wagon when he moves here in a couple weeks. I was aboiut halfway back to Saskatoon when I realized that I had just handed him $240 cash and he just casually slipped it into his wallet and ran away. I hope he doesn't flee the country in search of sugar.

I wish I could put some more effort in this update, but I really need some sleep and I also have to recover from being slashed to death by Unit3's cats.

Okay, here's my late but still existant Friday update. Its actually Saturday morning right now, almost 3:00AM but I'm still updating just because I don't want to break my perfect record so far!

I must say I'm quite impressed with the number of hits this site has been drawing, and I really don't know why. Many of them come from the states, so somebody is spreading the word. WELCOME VISITORS! I HOPE MY PAGE SUPPLIES YOU WITH PROSPERITY AND OVERALL MEDIOCRE VIEWING PLEASURE.

It was freaking hot today in the good ol' town of Saskamatoon. So hot that I woke up this morning and said to myself "Damn! I best be gettin' out to the lake to do some swimmin'!". And so I did, and I swam good. I was also on call today for work, but when people phoned I basically just told them all that I wasn't able to help them and that they had better wait until monday :).


I know everyone has probably seen this banner before but I just can't get over the whole premise. These guys are selling internet service by premoting the fact that you could download illegal pirated copies of Metallica mp3s faster than a regular modem. Thats pretty sweet. Next thing you know there will be drinking instructions on Lysol cans.

Tom Green and Drew Barrymore are actually getting married now. This sort of bugs me, probably because Drew Barrymore is MY girl but hey I guess these things happen. I suppose I can take some refuge in the fact that I don't think I am all that different a person than Tom, in which case Drew would equally like me, right? Anyway, I also think its kinda need (or lucky) that Tom started his own little comedy special which got popular in canada, then the states, then he got hired my Pepsi to do TV commercials and then he meets and marries a hollywood actress. Just goes to show what a little stupid humour is capable of. Damn.

BAD COP - NO DOUGHNUT

I'm gonna be gone tomorrow...I'm off to Regina to visit Unit3 and possibly buy a stand-up arcade game. Perhaps on Monday I will be feeling brave and try and bring Razor a box of doughnuts at the police dept. I think I may need to get a few boxes because by the time I get to Razor most of them will be gone :).

Today I have for you an article written by Dog Pound. If you live around Saskatoon you would have heard of the mass destruction that occurred at Martins lake a little while ago. Until now many people have wondered exactly what happened that night, but now it has all been revealed in Dog Pound's short but informative article.

Congratulations go out to Razor who just scored a job working for the police department as a (correct me if I'm wrong) software support technician. Yes, this was the job I had posted on the discussion board but he had applied long before that. I'll be by Razor's place later to drop off a box of doughnuts. I'm sure he would appreciate any charitable donations coming his way...


I have noticed that Larmal has been getting in the habit of updating weekly instead of daily. Also, the EJ Webcam which is supposed to update every minute hasn't changed in over a week. I feel really ripped off. Anyhow, JayB made a guest appearance the other day with an update. I wonder what ever happened to that guy, he doesn't seem to be cracking SETI Blocks anymore either. Either way, I feel for the demise of EJ so I am calling on all you loyal readers to go support the page which we were once at war with. I just can't help but feel bad for Larmal sometimes...he's just so damned cute.

Dog Pound just found out that thumbnails aren't just for porn! He's as surprised as you are!


Here's a mind-bender for ya'll

A just recieved an important, sad email from Dog Pound regarding his new love. I now share it with you... Is it just me or is DP getting a little soft?? I remember a time when a little letdown like this would only encourage the guy. Just remember, there are plenty of other ho's in da sea!

Well thats it for today's update, had to do some more O/T tonight and I am going back in at 6:00AM. I'm not looking forward to this but I am hoping to sneak away to the lake sometime this weekend, considering I was hoping to get to Regina saturday night but it looks like Unit3 isn't going to be around to visit. Maybe we'll still go...we'll see.

I have received overwhelming response to the comment I made yesterday about Dog Pound being in love. Yes, it is true. And yes, he is in love with a human being. I have made this video the depict the extent of this love between Dog Pound and an anonymous woman who will be known hereafter as 'Katie'


Thats right! If you already have an account on my server you already have an email account too! Just call up your favorite email reader (Outlook, Netscape...) and enter rblords.com as the pop3 server. You will have to use a different smtp server, however, so if you already have an existing pop3 email account somewhere else just enter the smtp server from that account. If you can't get it to work just let me know and I'll fix it up! If you don't have an account already, then you can leave me a message about why you feel you deserve one and you may just get one afterall.

I apoligize if my site has been loading slow lately, but it seems that my ISP has been under a bit of load lately or something. Or perhaps its just the local neighbours fighting over bandwidth. Either way its slow but will hopefully get better.

As this week goes by I am thinking that I should be going somewhere this weekend. I have this friday off so that means long weekend for me, but I just can't think of anywhere to go. I wonder if Razor is camping in his new tent this weekend?


I had this link forwarded to me today and it made me chuckle and shake my head. As many of you know, I like Linux. I started to run Linux in September of 1999 because I needed an NAT Firewall for the rest of my network, and linux seemed to be the popular choice. I had used mrp's box to retrieve my email, etc, for some time (even used it for dialup internet access for awhile), and I quite liked the feel of the operating system. Coming from an Amiga background, Linux offered the type of power and configurability that I felt Windows lacked. But enough about me, I have prepared a short article about why I like linux, and have tried to remain as non-biased as possible to offer an intelligent opinion.

For those of you who care, I am working on getting a pop3 server running here. It is already technically working but incoming only. If you have an account on oden (I have to make you one) then you have an email account. Just fire up your favorite email reader and plop in rblords.com as the pop3 incoming server. At the moment you cannot write mail unless you know of an open smtp relay server. I hope to get this fix0red soon.

Last minute update:

Dog Pound is in LOVE

Thats right, and you heard it here first...

I can't believe how much this site is taking out of me. Every night I have to make sure to put away at least an hour to update the damn thing, and then I look at my counter and realize that I've only gotten 20 hits in the last week. That fucking blows. Even EJ gets more hits than me and Larmal doesn't even update anymore! This is just my rant for the day, and I will not stop updating so those of you who DO stop and read my site once in awhile won't be completely without content. I'm gonna try hard today tho, I really am.

If you have been following the conversations in the Discussion Board, you would already know that YC has announced that he will be leaving to persue a career in the nearby town of Humbolt. For those of you who don't live in this area, Humbolt is an angry farm town which produces the finest moonshine this side of moosejaw. Hopefully wherever YC moves into he will have internet access but who knows. To commemorate this occasion and to send a farewell to the great YC I have prepared a comic to mark the occasion.

So I was driving around with Blue4130 and soul_d the other day when I (once again) heard The Real Slim Shady on the radio. When I first heard this song I absolutely hated it. Now, Blue4130 has convinced me that its a half decent song. As far as I'm concerned you might as well be listening to Sons of Prozac. Anyhow, right after the song ended they played Christina Augilera's Reply to the song. You see, Eminem insulted her in his song so she ripped off his song and made her own version. Quite sporting of her, really, and quite hilarious, check it out.

The link of the day comes from Blue4130, www.icebox.com, "its got lots of cool flash cartoons and shit". Just take a look at Episode 6 of Zombie College.


Wow! Mel has changed her page! It now features a semi-daily update and a new design, but don't worry, you can still find the usual content such as the ever so addictive game MelYatzee! Make sure to check it out, she needs the hits to help feed her children!

I revamped the Comic Page a little today. Basically, I just organized the old comics a little better into a Comic Archives section.

A small power surge from the big storm last night knocked out my main server, as well as a couple of my other computers. When I got up this morning, the only computer running was my Amiga. Anyway, I started it up and it seemed to be fine. Must have been a good spike though because oden (my webserver) is running off of an AT motherboard which, of course, has a hard power switch (unlike ATX which has a soft power switch). When I found it this morning the switch was of course still in the 'On' position but it was completely shut down. I don't imagine that's too good on the power supply. However, my alarm clock (plugged into the same outlet) wasn't reset. Oh well, if anyone missed seeing my site last night between the hours of 2:00AM and 8:00AM I apologize.


Send them to me!

I think it's time to pay tribute to one of Saskatoon's greatest bands, Slab Drab. I first heard these guys perform in Razor's basement (one of the members is Razor's brother), and I have to say they kick some majoy hardcore ass. Check out their webpage which includes samples of their music.

I don't think Larmal is updating his site any more. This must mean that he has aquired some kind of a life. Thats odd. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that I haven't heard from any of my readers in the last week. I must be the only one left on the internet...and here I am wasting my time updating a stupid site that nobody cares about. (sigh) I need some good lovin.

Today's quote comes, again, from Dog Pound:

"I'm telling you, its my goal in life to make way more money than you"
