Damnit I feel like shit today, I think I may have been infected by something from one of my many sexual partners... A couple days back I received an email from Javagirl with a poem that describes why it is that computers crash. This Dr. Seuss-like poem explains a lot of things, but works against the whole Rappablords theory which JayB had me convinced of for so long. Either way, its worth a read, so READ IT!  No matter how often you do a job, never comprimise safety. This applies to every proffesion, from Programmer Analyst, to prositutes, to Beavers.... Dr. Razor gave me an mpg of an old Warner-Bros cartoon featuring some good old fashioned racism. I have to warn you - its 80megs and you would be stupid to download it, but here it is: Coal Black and the Sebben Dwarfs. Wow, we are now nearing 10'000 hits, and I am thinking more and more that I need a site redesign. Hmmmm... websites take too much time, its kinda stupid. You know, like I should just be able to think things and they should appear in a pretty layout for me. Damnit, if somebody would come up with software to do that I would give them $1, no questions asked. Thought of the day: It is impossible to fold any piece of paper more than 7 times | |||

LARMAL HAS RETIRED FROM EJ?!?!?!? Excuse me for being a bit slow, but I just got around to reading the updates on EJ and found out that Larmal, co-ruler of ExtremeJerks.com, has retired. This is a sad, sad time in the history of the internet. However, that doesn't have to stop us from honoring/makingfunof him! So, in the spirit of things I am declaring today official Larmal day!
I finally managed to get Office 2000 installed on my machine (thanks Audiophile for the copy) and I was able to read and post Blue4130's new article. I thought it would have been bigger, but it DOES announce a large super-party at his new place so check it out! To finish off today's crappy content, I have a new comic for you all in honor of the end of the Larmal era...so check it out!. | |||||

Alllright... Long weekend, busy busy busy. I have just finished completely wiping oden and re-installing everything in a desperate attempt to get rid of whatever it was that was crashing the machine every 8 hours. Hopefully the problem is now gone, and we are back up and running with no interuptions. Then again, I never seem to be that lucky... This weekend went by rather fast for me, but I did manage to:
The 486 overclocking experiment hasn't met with complete success yet, but soon will I am sure. I'm hoping to get the thing going at least a gigahertz so that it can beat Blue4130's Athlon. Speaking of Blue4130, he's back online once again after moving into his new place! Now, I have a whole shit-load of content to post, and I really doubt I will be able to get around to it tonight, so you may have to wait an extra day. Please forgive me if I forgot anything, and let me know if I did. Also let me know if anything funny has been going on with the site (other than it being down occasionally), as these re-installs always leave me forgetting something...  Now THATS motivation Dog Pound and I have been working out big time lately in hopes to encourage the local children to do the same, and join our unholy army of the night. That's one of the miracles of small children, you can mold them into whatever you want by teaching them how to live, kill, destroy and not care. First lesson for you kiddies out there: How to catch a football. I think thats about all the content that you or I can handle for the night. Expect a sweet article from none other than Blue4130 tomorrow, along with various other super-goodies and maybe even some good porn | |||

Server has been rather unstable. I apologize for the lack of an update yesterday, I know you are all heartbroken. Look forward to oden going up and down this weekend as I figure out what all the fuss in about. In the meanwhile, take a look at EJ as Larmal has redone the site layout (with the same gay-ass colors). Look forward to an article or two on Tuesday. I know this is a long time for the next update, but I am trying my best to redesign the site a little bit at the same time...HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! Spitfire's thanksgiving tip: "Turkey makes you better in bed." | |||

Well, just when I thought that I was done with all my server problems, they came back to haunt me and there was a breif downtime tonight of a couple hours. I assume this is a hardware problem and I am replacing parts from oden one at a time to try and isolate the winner. Soon it will be stable again, oh yes! YC was complaining today that since the server was down for a couple days, his article got pushed to the bottem of the page where nobody will notice it. In response to this complaint I am posting the link again. Just trying to keep my readers happy! Especially the surly ones... You may have noticed a few changes in the menu panel on the left, including the addition of the 'Old Site Layouts' section. This section is kinda lame, but I figured it should be linked to before I totally forgot about it, and because revamping my site to look like other sites took a fucking long time for only being up for 2 days. Maybe in the future I can get around to ripping off other sites as well... I have a video today, given to me by the great Audiophile, a video that you should all watch and learn from, so that you may finally realize the true answer to the question you have been wanting to ask for so many years: "Why is Darbie's friend Rebecca in a wheelchair?". It is simply stop-motion videography at its best. Check it out. WARNING: Adult content. :) Razor is pushing me to update so that he can go to bed, so I'm gonna rush off for today. If anyone knows of a good way to snap a stillframe from a .mpg, .asf or .avi file I would appreciate it if you let me know, because it really pisses me off that just taking a screenshot while the movie is playing doesn't work! | |||

Sheeesh...almost 2 full days of downtime. Apparently the cable that runs from my house to the pole broke yesterday from the wind and severed my connection. Then, after they replaced the cable today, their DHCP Server wasn't responding so I couldn't even grab my ip back. After I phoned them up and told them what was happening, what was wrong, and HOW THEY COULD FIX IT, they had the audacity to ask me "Well...uhh...did you reboot?". Ugh. So I told him that I was a net admin and knew a little bit about how networking works (he also tried to get out of helping me because I run Windows 2000 which isn't supported), and he ended up saying "Well...we're having problems right now, so try again later.". After another couple minutes I managed to convince him to refund me at least a week of downtime and here we are back up and running! Actually, having a day off from updating was kind of nice, but now here I am with nothing to post.....except.....VOLARE PICTURES!!
Thats right folks, the Super-Volare is here to stay. Be prepared for many updates this winter involving me and this car, and how many times it has made me walk home in the cold. Current count: 1. The other day I was reading through a boring Union flyer that I found on my desk and laughing at some of the terrible articles written within it. I turn to this one page with an article titled "Pay Equity" with a little cartoon picture of a women being refused a job by a male boss. It looked interesting, so I read on... "People working in female-dominated jobs (secretaries, nurses and librarians) tend to be paid less than people working in male-dominated jobs (labourers, plumbers, electricians) only because the jobs are considered 'women's work.'"I got a kick out of this paragraph. I don't want to sound like a chauvinistic pig, but I DO think at times these feminists get a little carried away. First of all, the reason that secretaries and librarians get paid less than plumbers and electricians is because they need more schooling (in most cases), and the work is (far) more difficult. Second of all I'd like you to show me one female nurse that makes less than a male plumber... "When women enter a job or profession, the wages tend to go down because women's work is "worth" less. As more men enter a job or profession, the wages go up - the halo effect."The what effect??? Did they just make that up? Increase of wages over time is caused by inflation and rises in the cost of living, not because more men are joining your profession! Lets take a situation I know for example...more and more women are becoming Network Administrators and Programmer Analysts in the past few years (in fact my graduating class consisted of 14 men and 13 women, whereas the past year there were no women graduates at all) yet the average salary for this profession climbs yearly, and has never seen a decrease. I realize that we have had problems in the past recognizing equal rights in our society, but I think we are a bit past that by now. Sure, I'm not a women (let me check...), but I think its time to give it a rest. All of my bosses of my 4 jobs have been female and have always made more money than me, and I don't think that is all that uncommon. I just can't understand how people can read this garbage and go "Wow. I never saw it that way before"... Anyhow thats my rant for today, sorry to Mel and Razor for the downtime and preventing them from updating their sites... | |||||||

Ahhhh another month and a clean slate... What better way to start off the month, than with a true-spoken article from the heart (of YC). Within, YC insults everything you love, respect and cherish. He also discusses how he likes to watch Pierre Treudo on TV, how some women can't drive, and the true meaning of life. Look out - he is mad, and he is Canadian. And a link from Unit3...its all you ever needed to know about the most controversial and unsolved problem of todays world. All summed up in one sentence. Wow. This should give something Mel something to think about... This past weekend you may have noticed this site has been rather unpredictable, and I have traced the problem down to a faulty network card. Lucky, I guess, as I was able to figure that out fairly quickly before pulling apart the entire machine piece by piece. This weekend was a lazy one for me, getting together at Audiophile's place on Saturday night and Blue4130's tonight (for a small apartment-warming party). Yeah, I know...today's update sucked. I'm sorry. Go check out YC World, its much more exciting... | |||
