5:32 am - Fixed
|
Rejoice, the bastard LostLevels forums are operational once again. It seriously took something like zero seconds of actual work, which makes me feel a teensy bit bad that they were down for like six fucking months before deciding to look at them. The security updates took maybe ten minutes to apply, and I'm a little paranoid they aren't proper or aren't all applied.. but supposedly they are. Guess we'll find out. I think I'll be handling all the patching in the future, after this fiasco.
Also, a note to all you people who like and use cpanel: FUCK CPANEL AND LEARN YOUR GODDAMN WAY AROUND YOUR WEBHOSTING LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING oh and by the way USING IT FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES IS A BAD IDEA HGULAHUGLAHUGLAGHULAGLHU FUCKSTICKS.
Thank you.

8:55 am - iPod Video Fun
|
I've been following the development of iPod Linux on and off for a few years now, so the announcement about iPod Linux supporting video wasn't a total surprise to me. There's no audio support yet, and movies need to be de- and re-encoded, but they will play on just about every iPod version once linux is installed on it.
(Luckily for me, there's an easy to use gui app for OS X that did all the hard work. :D Windows and Linux users have to spend a bit more time getting it installed. Also, installing iPod Linux leaves your mp3s/playlists/etc intact.)
Anyway, I spent a sleepless night converting some movies. Some Erica Campbell video (mmm), Tripping the Rift (the original!), TMNT tijuana bible porn, some crazy excitebike video, and that White Stripes video that was done entirely with Lego bricks. The live action stuff came out great, Tripping the Rift looks pretty good, TMNT pretty good, and excitebike terrible, all more or less obvious results. I've managed to create a somewhat crappy mpeg of my iPod playing some of the Campbell video using my bastard Sony camera, but I don't really have anywhere to upload 45 megs of mpeg. Anyone got a public tracker handy?
It'd obviously be better with audio, but that'll come, and really, I don't view portable video as being all that important in the first place. Hell, the best part about iPod Linux is all the new games to play :)

5:22 pm - Baby Chunks Again
|
I've created a couple new craptacular CCCP strips, Chicks With Dicks and Rolex Machina. While the magic of old still hasn't been captured, they aren't too bad, I think.
You can add CCCP to your friends list via ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) feed_the_cccp, because you know you want to see plushies, full frontal nudity and turgid horse cock (coming soon) in the backgrounds of my comics while you're at work.

10:32 pm - Ridiculously Dumb
|
Made a new strip that is mostly current or semi-current events, while continuing the SNAKE-FREE-AS-A-BIRD-NOW storyline. Behold, it be crap.
Also continuing from the last few strips is the amount of suckitude contained within, due to a number of factors including but not limited to current events making for really stupid story details, Snake just not sounding right to me, and a hasty, completely unagonized over script. The less time I spend making a strip (not to mention the more wide awake I am), seemingly the worse the strip is. It's like a guilty feeling almost, like I'm wasting my time spitting out something quick and maybe pleasing to the masses (ahahahaha, that's funny for a number of obvious reasons).
Of course, there are many obvious conclusions here. One is that I'm so bad that I can't even be considered a talentless hack. Another is that I'm a basketcase either emotionally or mentally, or possibly both.
I guess I could summarize the above and say "hey, new dumb strip is out!", but where's the fun in that?

5:32 am - A Long Time Ago
|
April Fool's day is kind of annoying. The Internet goes insane for the first 3/4 of the day, then towards the end of it all the web sites with silly pranks do a little chortle and let you in on the gag. You know, even though it was already obvious that it was fake. And really kind of stupid. And often times ridiculous. I guess I don't like that there really isn't any subtlety, no really good gotcha's, and even if there were, you'd still be cautious before accepting anything.
Anyway, on to the self-aggrandizing part of this post.
A few years ago, before my hosting vanished and I had to sell out, I had a fucking fantastic idea for an April Fool's day prank. It was going to be pretty simple to do (like most of the things I do, or I wouldn't do them, eh), it was going to be an obvious prank, and it was actually going to be amusing, I think.
I had a friend find and download a few hundred images of kittens. You know, really fucking adorable, sweet and "awwwwwwwwwwwwww"-worthy images. The kind of images you want to look at when you've just failed a test, when you've just lost your job, etc. They were uploaded to the web server, and when April 1 hit, the html to my old site was going to switchover to point everything to those images. Try to look at images of the goatse.cx man? You would get a kitten. Try to moser somebody? They'd get a kitten. You want to send a url to a movie of a dude eating a hot dog that came out of someone's anus to the office? Kittens for everyone!
Would've been the best April Fool's thing ever.
current mood: disappointed

One of our two remaining rock stations is having a "Win It Before You Can Steal It" weekend for the new Beck and Queens of the Stone Age albums.
Both albums were leaked online over a month ago.

7:15 pm - Comics
|
The cleaning continues.
Here are a whole bunch of comics I'm hoping to get rid of, I just don't need all these boxes getting in the way any more. Want something to read on the cheap? Buy something. Want a recommendation? Ask. Like a particular genre that isn't superheroes because you (possibly) have taste? For god's sake man, speak up.
I'm thinking 50 cents per comic, and once you hit five bucks I'll ship for free. Or if you actually (*gasp*) end up wanting a lot of shit, I'll give you a better deal.
If you just want to throw away a few dollars on a handful of random shit not listed here, I'd be happy to do so. Gimme five bucks (to cover a box and shipping and like a dollar for my pain) and I'll pack as many as I can into a box and media mail them to you.
Really. Buy some shit. Buy some random shit. Tell your friends. Tell anybody. I don't care, I just want to be free.
( More loot )
You know, I think it's obvious that I'm not going to sell any of this here. Sigh. At least it's practice for the next attempt.

7:46 pm - I found a whole lotta video game stuff cleaning..
|
Straight ripping off the post I just made on the Sardius board (hence the lack of capitalization, it's like that on purpose):
not listed here are a whole bunch of posters that were included with games from nintendo and konami, etc. many of the boxes also have warranty cards or those very same nintendo or konami posters, and i also have a couple letters from ocean and sunsoft. i have no fucking idea why i apparently wrote ocean a letter, but they did personalize the marketing-speak bullshit they sent back, that was kind of nice.
anyway, here's a bunch of the loot. i'll go through the other posters and shit later. if anyone wants anything, make an offer, and you'll find that if it covers postage, i'll be happy to accept it in most cases.
oh, also, if anyone has any kind of scanning project going for the posters/manuals and shit, that would be very cool.
( the loot! )
Damn Kitsune_ for beating me to the comic listings, though I suppose mine being in english might make them a little more attractive to potential buyers.. (haha, potential buyers)

2:05 pm - Penis
|
So, yesterday, my sister IMs me to tell me that her wireless access point is no longer working. Having the exact same model as her's until early last month, this doesn't come as much of a surprise; mine was in such bad shape it required power cycling about every two hours before I finally gave in and replaced it.
Anyway. I tell her to try restarting it, explaining the problems I'd been having with mine. No go. I tell her to try putting her laptop to sleep and then waking it back up, occasionally my Powerbook wireless just stops working and that fixes it for me. No go. She takes out her work laptop and tries it's wireless. No go.
At this point she tells me she does see a different wireless network. One named "Penis". She happens to be connected to it now because it automatically connected to it when she woke her laptop up.
Right.
First I'm laughing, as that's a pretty good name for a wireless network. Then it occurs to me.. my sister is an idiot.
"Did you ever change your SSID from the default, 'Linksys'? You're supposed to change it to something unique. Turning off the SSID broadcast is a good idea too."
"No, 'Linksys' was fine. It was unique, no one else's said 'Linksys'!"
"Does this mean you didnt change the password either?"
"Why would I need to?"
Sigh.
So, the SSID was the default "Linksys", and the password was the default, which you can find out just by downloading a pdf instruction manual from the Linksys web site. The access point was also using the default ip address of 192.168.1.1. In other words, anyone who has any idea about any of this Linksys shit can log into her router and change settings.
So someone decided to log into it and rename it Penis.
I'm glad I was able to talk her out of knocking on doors and asking people if Penis belonged to them before she tried to log into it.

11:25 am - Stuff!
|
First time in several weeks I've actually gotten anything accomplished, and all before 11am. Very, very werid. I managed to:
a) Get up at 6am. While I accomplished this by going to bed last night at like 6pm, fuck it, it still counts.
b) Go out and get breakfast at 7:30, in time to see my aunt and cousins show up for work. Mmm, french toast.
c) Went on an errand to buy something like 20 loaves of bread as the restaurant was running out, but the place didn't open until 9am. So, I went across the street to the post office to check my PO box. Threw out two pieces of AmEx junkmail, one of those really annoying "your domain needs to be re-registered!" pieces of mail that some shitty registrar likes to send me since I'm the contact for many of my friends' domains, and I've got four pieces of mail addressed to a company that hasn't had my box for at least six years. Why I *still* get their mail, I'll never know. Need to return-to-sender those.
d) Went back to the store, bought all that bread, and what else do they have? Fresh hostess pies! Kick ass, I haven't had one of these in years. Will eat it later when I should be eating something that won't kill me.
e) Dropped off the bread, bullshitted with my cousins about how much their job sucks and how much it sucked when I did it years ago (though, really, limited hours, good (under the table possibly) money, an excuse to get up on the weekend and a job where you don't need to think are really nothing to sneeze at).
f) Drove around the mall to possibly get a haircut only to discover it doesn't open until 11 on Sundays. Bleh.
g) Went to Office Depot, picked up a filebox with a nice locking mechanism on it to replace my shitty plastic one. Also picked up a small UPS for my mom's pc, been meaning to do that for a while. They apparently don't carry rubber adhesive feet though, so..
h) Off to Home Depot to pick some up, for my laptop. The ones that come with it are tiny and fall off really easily. I've had two sets and they've probably been on the bottom of my laptop for a total of three weeks. Previously I had bought some replacements, but they didn't have enough surface area and were too bulbous, so they kept found off. This time, they had exactly what I wanted, some small pancake-shaped ones. Excellent.
i) Found a baby; Ate a baby. Nothing beats fresh baby.
j) Lastly, I got home, moved all my shit into the new filebox (bigger than the old one too, excellent), put the adhesives onto the laptop, contemplating going back for that haircut, stole some image resizing javascript from ImageShack that make my little php framing nicer ( copy and paste this link into a new window) (bahaha! an even better example) (it has to be copy/pasted to work because the php framing only works if there is no referer when it is loaded. if you just click the link, the image will just load without the framing. I could write pages on this crap. In fact, I probably will some time soon, to bore you all to death.), might move all the plugs into the new UPS (pain in the ass.. so maybe not).. maybe test my labelmaker to see if it still works, and if it does, go buy some new labels from Greybar down the street. Fuck, maybe even buy a new crimper too.
h) I also took a dump up there somewhere. Damned breakfast.
Mother fucking productive. Maybe later I can save a cat from a tree and then run it over with my car too, that would certainly top everything off.
Ahhh, being unemployed on a weekend, there's nothing I can't accomplish.

8:13 am - Thank You, Emulation
|
It's 6am, there's absolutely *nothing* on tv, so I leave the tv on some old Bruce Lee movie. Funny enough, there are two Bruce Lee movies on, but I'd rather watch the old one with the dubbing than The Medallion or whatever it's called. Hell, I'm not even really watching, I'm really reading a "name this video game" forum thread, where someone has randomly happened to post.. a picture of the old Bruce Lee C64 game that I used to play in elementary school. I was terrible at it, but I loved it, I think the first side scroller I ever played after Pitfall.
I immediately started looking for a disk image to download, then I started looking for an emulator to play it on, then I had to, for some ungodly reason, use a usb adapter for a ps2 controller because keyboard keys couldn't be remapped, then I played the bitch to the end using savestates because man, I don't think I ever passed the sixth screen as a kid.. I still love this game.
And fuck me, that actually took two tries to do. Half asleep bad.
Woooo.
(The sad thing is, I didn't even notice the movie coincidence when I saw the screenshot and downloading the game became a necessity; it occurred to me while writing this. Yeesh.)

3:42 am - Eternal Sunshine of the Anal Plunderer Hell Bent on Anal Destruction
|
So I had this dream a few days ago.
I was in a cafeteria, like from a high school or a hospital or something, and it was relatively empty. I was getting up to throw my trash out, talking to a dude standing behind me about how the Daredevil movie sucked hard. It had crappy effects, poor acting, crappy costuming, etc. It just was not a good movie.
As I was telling him all these things, I looked over to his right where Ben Affleck was sitting, looking sad. I looked at him and said, "Sorry Ben, it was just a shitty movie", and then I walked away.
Normally I'd be upset about having Ben fucking Affleck in my dream, but that was fucking great.

11:37 pm - What
|
So, it isn't like I needed 2000 4x DVD-Rs, but it they were worth the purchase at $2.49/500.
This probably means I should buy a DVD burner at some point, though.

5:08 am - Tooting Your Own Horn Is Not Sucking Your Own Dick
|
Here are six comic strips that prove once and for all that I am a comic fucking genius.
Title 17
Welcome to Dolphin Research Center!
QUALITY ABORTIONS FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS
There Is No God.
(The Secret of) One Tree Hill
BECAUSE I'M MICHAEL FUCKING SNIPE
I'd like to thank Drakee for having the most classic line ever to be uttered (he just does not, and never will, time for shitfucks, folks), I'd like to thank Snake for being in a bunch of video games I've never played but have heard are nice, The Incredible Hulk for being such a tool, Rob for creating an awesome tool that I'm just waiting for to get fucked up and lose all the strips that no one has backed up, Mia for rocking, my bedtime for always being there no matter how late I am, and you for your forgiveness, because these strips suck a little bit more with every one I do, but everyone just sucks my dick over how great they are.
(edit: I assume this is sad and/or scary, but I can almost go panel by panel and point something out that I made a mistake on or explain something that's inside-jokey in every single strip. I'm probably going to do it too. .....)
Now, sperm playing guitars.

3:08 am - Weird Night
|
So,
Went to bar.
Had a few drinks.
Talked some bullshit.
Talked some politics.
Impressed random chick.
Left friends to drink with random chick at other bar.
Made out with random chick at random bar.
Went back to chick's place.
Made out with (..and other stuff. yay.) chick at chick's place.
Didn't fuck chick at chick's place because didn't have condoms.
Oh, and chick is ten years older than me, and I'm not exactly a baby.. and she picked me up.
Weird world. Weird night.
No clue what her name was.

9:33 pm - Five Years of FMITGA
|
Come September 30th, I'll have owned FuckMeInTheGoatAss.com for five years.
Over the years I've had the site online and offline, and it's never really changed much. It's offline right now, but you can see the entire thing here.
So, it's coming up on five years, which I've only noticed because I have to pay the fucking bill in the coming month or it expires.. any suggestions on what I should do with it/for it/whatever/this is my first post in two months give me a break?
Edit: Oh, interesting side note. When I let DonkeyRapingShitEater.com expire two and a half years ago, netster picked it up, and they own it to this day. Why they think anyone would type that url into their address bar and then actually use the resulting bullshit search engine stuff, I'll never know.

5:12 pm - Greece Wins!
|
I haven't even gotten around to replying to the replies from my last post, and I'm not really a hardcore sports fan (though I do enjoy the good game), but, SUCK IT! GREECE WINS 1-0 BITCHES! That was one fine game.
Now, completely unrelated, if sleeping like a baby is ok, and sleeping like the dead is ok, why isn't it okay to say you slept like a dead baby?
