After the long-anticipated wait, Survivor is finally over. Episode I, anyway...
After that incredibly exciting news, I'm not sure if anyone really cares but I was able to successfully transplant a new hard drive into this linux machine so the server is relatively safe and well. Some things may still be a little bit flakey, but rest assured that nothing was lost. Do you care? Probably not, but this is a big triumph for me. Now that I can leave my computer alone without it crashing hard everyday, I will proceed to transfer my work efforts towards my cars... Hate to rip off mrp's site, but an article he just posted has spiked my attention. Anyone interested in the whole Napster Vs. Metallica lawsuit should read this to see what Sony is willing to do to keep Napster out of the picture... Here's a quote: "We will develop technology that transcends the individual user. We will firewall Napster at source -- we will block it at your cable company, we will block it at your phone company, we will block it at your [Internet-service provider]. We will firewall it at your PC."- Steve Heckler, senior vice president of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Watch out, Big Brother is watching you... | |||||

Another late update....tsk tsk tsk. But you know what? I just realized that nobody reads this site anymore! My little hit counter doesn't seem to go up anymore, and Dog Pound has written an article for me lately, even though he said it would be a weekly thing. I beckoned for Dr. Razor but nobody answered...and the Discussion Board has been quiet for days. Either way I'm still going to update so I guess it doesn't really matter...I'm on a 6 month spree here!  If anyone is wondering why the updates have been so slow, weak, and robustly gay lately I think that you should know that it is your fault. Also, I am currently working on an interactive flash game for EJ since I haven't contributed anything to their site for quite awhile. Why don't I make some flash movies for my own site you ask? Because you are gay. If you are a big Survivor fan, you know that the final episode is being shown tonight. 2 Hours of survivor, followed by a 1 hour 'meeting' with all of the contestants. I have to say I thought this show was pretty stupid when I first heard about it (only after finding out that they are fed a nice breakfast every morning and that there is very little chance of anyone dying, and no nudity would be shown), but after seeing a few episodes I kinda got hooked on it. I haven't exactly been keeping up with it lately tho, but I did manage to catch last weeks showing.
I'd like to host my own Survivor show some day, except mine wouldn't be censored and would be about 12 white guys stranded late at night inside the Barry hotel here in Saskatoon. Chances are nobody would get out, but if you did you would win 24 Bohemian Beer. Perhaps there would be a second tribe, "The Albany Tribe" who would have to servive the Albany hotel across the street. Then, when there are only 4 survivors left, they would have a show-down at the Lucky Horseshoe Bingo hall. It would be a game of stamina and wit, a game of the soul. And who says Saskatoon is a boring place??? | |||||

Wow, I have been REALLY busy at work lately. However, when I think about it, I'd much rather be busy doing something than be bored and doing nothing, so I guess I'm quite happy. I spent the entire morning driving around to the different Leisure sites in town and setting up new users. It all starts when somebody high up in management gets promoted, there's this chain reaction of a whole bunch of people getting bumped up to fill positions, and then a new employee added to the bottom. Quite interesting, but a whole lotta work for me.
After looking back upon the last few months of rblords updates I realized that I have been gearing this site more a more towards people running their monitors at at 1024x768 minimum resolution. Not that I did this on purpose, just that this is the resolution I run my computer at so that is the resolution I preview the updates at before I release each one. Consequently, this site is designed for viewing in 1024x768. I try and think about people running at 800x600 by not using pictures that are too large (also for you readers on dialup) but this site is quite a bandwidth hog, especially towards the end of the month! Anyhow, my apologies to anyone this may have adversely effected...
Time for bed. If you're bored, check out the re-vamped Soul D Online page. If you still haven't had enough, sending JayB hatemail is always fun. Better yet, make yourself known on the Discussion Board. All the fun things to do! | ||||||||

Another weekend gone, another failed attempt at trying to save the server. Turns out the hard drive I was copying the files onto was corrupted as well. Why don't I just buy a new hard drive you ask? Because I don't need more than a gig, and they don't sell anything less than 8 anymore... Looks like Larmal got his webcam up on Sinnocence's cam page. I think that's pretty damn cool. Too bad I don't have a webcam...I'd probably be even more boring... It's been pretty dull around the site lately, I'm starting to wonder if anyone other than Dog Pound will ever write me an article again. I think Dr. Razor owes me one. Afterall, he repeatedly tricks my into setting his website as my default page...  This is a pretty sweet fucking knife As I mentioned, this weekend was the host to soul_d's annual hot tub party. Friday and Saturday night proved to be quite a blast, but I forgot to take any pictures so you'll just have to believe me. The whole Bastard Machine crew was there, as well as Dog Pound, Blue4130, Hellsh0k, Larmal and many others (including quite the assortment of girls whom I had never seen before). I'd like to note that Unit3 was not there because he was too busy being a FAG ASS down in Regina. | |||

Slow update today, I was too lazy to do it the night before like I usually do. I seem to be getting more and more lazy about this site lately, but I'm hanging on! I will continue to keep it up as long as you continue to support it. What? You want to give me money? :) I have somewhere around 8 email addresses, 4 of which I use on a regular basis. I have one account (spam@rblords.com) which I use to collect all of the spam mail I can. I hate spam mail, it really pisses me off. Why? Because it's all the same! Either some little boy in some faraway country is dying and needs MY help, or some 'Adult Site has decided that I should sign up for some porno. It's even coming through ICQ now. What I can't figure out is the fact that my spam mailbox has received 0 messages, while over the past month I have received COUNTLESS spam mails on my regular 2 accounts. This really pisses me off, and leads me to beleive it is the fault of one of you! Or perhaps just soul_d... ...all this anger....am I turning into the Bastard Administrator from Hell???? For those of you who have not heard of BAHF, here is a picture of one. (Picture stolen from Cudanut and his archive of pictures from my grad)  Larmal updated his cam???? I have had countless people email me to ask if yesterday's picture was a hoax (even mrp who isn't talking to me). I can assure you that it is not. However, I have already heard various people saying they can do better than that so I am waiting for more... Thats all for today. I'm heading out to SIR after work to see what I can get for a 1/4 mile in my Supra... | |||

Today I attempted to rescue oden from its downward sprial of increasing hard drive failures, but alas I had no success. Partition magic wouldn't even touch the partition because it had 'bad sectors', and it seems that each day the drive is more and more corrupted. Mostly the mail system, however, so if you use rblords email please try and steer clear of it for a week or so as I get this straightened out...  Is this going to start a trend? soul_d is throwing his annual hot tub party this weekend which will last from thursday night to sunday night and include a whole lotta nakedness and mindless drinking (or so I have been told). Should be fun, I'll be sure to take a camera in case something interesting happens...
I can't quit watching the Mr. T video...I just can't get enough of it! I don't know if anyone caught the link that mrp posted a week or so ago to article claiming that Linux has more inherent security related flaws than Windows NT. Looking over this article and following a link to the BugTraq vulnerability statistics page I was able to find a complete list of operating systems and the number of significant 'bugs' found each year. After all of the smoke cleared about how bugridden Linux is and how bugridden Windows is, and OS/2 and Mac, etc, did anyone notice that the official all-time tally for BeOS is 4??? All four were found this year in Version 5, with 4.5 still waiting to have a bug found. MacOS X Server has 0 bugs reported this year as well...and so does BSD. I love BeOS...I just need to grab a copy of version 5.0 (legally, of course :) ) But enough of the yadayada, time for bed. Dog Pound is gonna kill me because he had some content for me to put up...oh well, guess it'll have to wait for tomorrow! | |||||

Tired. So tired. Please let me sleep...
I was talking to Razor today during lunch and came to the realization, after getting tricked into setting his page to be my default page AGAIN, that he has almost 1100 hits on his page already. I just can't figure this out...are you people so lazy that after getting tricked into visiting his page you can't reset your homepage to something more exciting? Message to Dr. Razor: I wanna see more content on your page...or else While I was bored the other day, screwing around on qwho.com I asked myself "I wonder if it's legal to use 'mature language' as a domain name?". Naturally, the first site I checked out was fuck.com. This site surprisingly did not bring up some pornography page, but nothing at all. So, being on qwho at the time I checked it out and discovered that the domain is owned by the United States District Court. Hmmm.... Seeing as how I haven't really posted any good songs up on the site lately, I decided to go out and present to you the best damned published song is the world. It was written by rock legend Karl Douglas. If you don't know who that is or what song I am talking about then you should feel ashamed. Now sit back, and enjoy... True brilliance I tells ya...The Saint knows how I feel... | ||||
