| | 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.

| | 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" - Dog Pound referring to my new job
