Oct 25, 2005 - All sorts of delicious junk!

Once a month.....hey, at least I'm consistant - and in the end, isn't that all that really matters?

First and foremost I am updating to let everyone know that there will be a halloween party at my place this Saturday, Oct. 29th. Come one, come all - and dress up if you can find a costume!! Halloween is usually a lot of fun and this year is no exception!

Secondly, the Salt Lake City Pictures are up so go ahead and check them out. These are Blue4130's pics taken with his new fancy digital camera, so if you'd like the full size version of any of these photos just talk to him and you'll get them in some ridiculously high quality!

Are you still paying attention?? I know this is a lot of information for an RBlords update....just stick with me.

Unit3 forwarded me an mp3 today which I just have to share with everyone, so don't even consider not downloading it! ** HERE IT IS **. Download it!

(Check out the awesome 3d pumpkin carving on the left! Click for more!)

Another important announcment concerns RBlords itself, or at least the services of RBlords. I have been asked a number of times over the past few years to host many websites, some of which were business-related. Of course, having run this server since 1999 on a residential internet service, this was out of the question (My current ISP doesn't allow running servers period - let alone for business gain).

So...this got me thinking, which lead me to discussing this problem with reps from both SaskTel and Shaw. In the end, I have upgraded my service to a commercial internet service which offers me the ability to host whatever I want, even for business gain. So, for those of you who might be interested in running any sort of work-related website now can. I may just have to charge a small fee for these pages....but believe me it will be much cheaper than other alternatives out there! And if I somehow manage to make a profit off of this (doubt it...for now anyhow) - I promise to spend every cent of it on funny hats. THAT is a promise.

With that out of the way, I'd like to send a shout-out to Amy K and Amy S for meeting their lifelong hero, Dan Ackroyd at the bar in Calgary recently. If anyone sees these gals in the next little while just ask them about it, they are carrying framed pictures with them to prove it!

One last snippit of content (if you're still with me)....I know there was a video going around a few weeks ago slamming PETA, so on that note I have a HILLARIOUS video involving playing a prank on a nice (and gay, I do believe) PETA member. Watch it here!

And thats it for now....catch you all at the Halloween party on Saturday!

Sep 21, 2005 - Salt Lake City

Spitfire

Wow....keep meaning to get around to doing an update but things have just been really busy as of late! So here it is....finally....and hopefully some decent content too.

Blue4130, Soul_D and myself went for a jaunt down to Salt Lake City for the annual Pilgrimage Demo Competition. This year we managed to get there in time to enjoy two entire days in the city, instead of just one and a bit...which was nice. Blue4130 was able to put his new fancy camera to the test in capturing a few of the MANY beautiful mormon ladies in the area. In addition to this we hit a bar called Area 51 which just happened to be hosting its annual wet T-Shirt competition that night (thanks Jen), and then managed to make it to the Piper Down (which we visited last year) for "6 months to St. Patrick's Day" night, which was pretty crazy also. As an added bonus, Soul_D got to drink Pabst on the interstate which has been a life-long dream of his.

Feel free to click on the images to the right to see the extent of our trip....

So other than the SLC trip, I've been keeping busy with contractors and such - rebuilding my poor basement. Also, I am in the process of getting a gas line put in this weekend so that I will finally be able to heat my garage. Woohoo! Perhaps some actual car work will finally get done??

Anyhow, onto the interesting stuff....everyone should check out this awesome video of a hyptonized group of people humping their chairs. Then its time to watch this video to get an idea of what I do when I hit the gym after work.

For the guys out there....here's some scenery. First off, Paris Hilton's boob, then this great shot of the CN tower. And to finish it off for today, here's a game that should keep all you pimps busy for hours!

I'll be back with more....I promise!

Aug 12, 2005 - And it all wraps up....

Spitfire

It's over!

A big thanks to everyone who made it out this year for the biggest hot tub party ever! With over 100 attendees across both nights, this annual event has definately grown out of control!

Click for the pictures!

Thanks go out to Dallas for the giant burning dragon, the glow neclaces, the music, and so much else - he really puts as much work into this party as I do. Thanks go out to Vance for arranging for the BBQ, purchasing the delicious burgers, and cooking them Saturday night!

And of course thank-you to everyone who pitched in for my birthday card on friday (especially Steven and Dawn for arranging it)! That was COMPLETELY unexpected but much appreciated and thank you so much for all signing the card as well, especially I-Gene (if you read the card, you'd know why).

Anyhow, there are many more people to thank...Crystal B for the cake, Ken for being a trooper, Shane&I-Gene for taking some great pictures, and all of the out-of-towners who made it in! We had people from Calgary (Erin, Candace), San Jose (I-Gene), Maidstone (Derek), Regina (Barb/Shane), Lumsdun (James), Vancouver (Darren) and London (Toni)!

Anyhow, the #1 reason for this update is to post the pictures. The pictures posted in the rblords galleries are a combination of my 'Best-Of' pics of Shane and I-Gene's pictures, along with some of mine which nobody has seen yet.

So take a look through the pictures.....that should keep you busy until next update!

	Aug 05, 2005 - Hot Tub 2K5 Today!	Spitfire
	Not much to report....except get the hell over here!! Webcam portal is up, but there is only one cam this year due to time restrictions! Click on the webcam picture, or here to view it.

Aug 02, 2005 - Hot Tub Coming!

Spitfire

Well folks....Hot Tub 2K5 is IMMINENT. Not only that, but it looks like we may be looking at some of the best weather we've ever had for the event! Main event starts Friday night, anytime after 5:00. We will likely be having an 80s music hour at 8:00 just like last year - but the real party gets started as the sun goes down!

Just a reminder to everyone - the ftp site is still open, please go ahead and upload some tunes for the party as we will be pre-compiling the playlist tomorrow night! And please do remember to include your name within the title. One more thing, try to upload just the songs you want to hear - not your entire playlist!

Also, a notice to everyone - I have been informed that this year's party is going to be filmed for the first time ever, documentary style - so look out for the guy with the camera! (no, it's not me)

Also also - the webcam portal will indeed be opened again. Anyone willing to donate a decent webcam (especially one that has decent vision in low-light) - it would be very much appreciated!

Aside from the party, what else is going on this week?? Well, the Dukes of Hazzard Movie is premiering this friday so I've supplied you with a little sample of what to expect from Jessica Simpson playing the role of Daisy Duke! And if that doesn't keep you busy enough - why not try building your own insect driven airplane?

Anyhow, bed-time for me!! See you all thsi weekend!!

	Jul 18, 2005 - Official Tub Invite	Spitfire
	Just a quick update today - first and foremost the houseboating trip was a success and I hope that everybody had a great time! For those who attended - expect a partial refund to be coming your way, as we ended up under budget on a number of items. Not bad, hey? Anyhow, I will be looking into booking the trip again for next year, so I will be in touch with all of this years 'attendees' to see if they are interested. Second, the official Hot Tub 2K5 party invite is ready, care of soul_d of course. You can watch it HERE. Since our music system from last year turned out to be such a success, I have decided it would be a wise idea to repeat it. Therefore the ftp site is now open for all of you to upload any music you'd like to hear played at the upcoming party. Just FTP to Rblords.com, Username: hottub Password: 2k5 (all lower case) ...and upload away! Make sure to rename to songs to include your name as well. If this turns out like last year - we will end up with far more music than could possibly be played, so it is good to know who uploaded each track so that when we need to sort through them, we make sure not to remove all of one persons tracks by mistake! And last note about the upcoming hot tub party - there has been interest in setting up a webcam again this year and I don't see why this would be a problem. If anyone has a camera they'd like to donate, we could always use more angles. One that could see half decent in low light situations wouldn't be half bad either! Oh, and for those who haven't heard yet - mrp WILL be making it to the party this year, all the way from San Jose just for the event (and to kick some ass). See you there!
