Bert really IS evil

rmiles7721August 15, 2005Entertainment

OMFG!! I am sitting here getting ready to take my three year old to school, look up and who is on Sesame Street? James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano). I was really hoping that he would take out Bert, but no such luck.

Sleep

Sleep is really just a cheap caffeine substitute,

If I am able to get any of it later today, I may post a bit this evening. Was up most of the night and I feel like a piece of shit.

Damn Foolery

Have you ever gone outside to have a smoke, and taken your pocket PC with you because you just couldn’t stop playing that stupid fucking bejeweled? And while you were out there, sitting in the dark on your front steps in your blue jeans with no shirt or shoes a goddamn tree roach dropped down the back of your pants and started doing the tango on your butt cheeks? So you were hopping around on one leg with one hand down your pants and trying not to drop the damn ipaq out of the other, finally the fucker comes down out the bottom of your leg? If you ever have the opportunity, relish the experience, because the people that live across the street certainly will.

Damn Polictical Correctness

Maybe it’s just that I am an insensitive white, byt this stuff just does not seem like a big deal to me. Scree the NCAA (and NORAD too).

Stealing your neighbor’s Internet? Experts urge caution – Aug. 9, 2005

“If you’re in a Manhattan building with 30 apartments that’s one thing,” said Julie Ask, research director at the technology consultants Jupiter Research. “But if you’re the guy who parks your car in front of a suburban house in the middle of the night and you’ve got the screen from your laptop glowing, well…” speaking of a man who was arrested earlier this month in Florida for just that.

Damn. One of the things that I noticed with the iPaq is that on my drive to work and back, there were about 30 different wireless networks. I decided to stop in the Jameson Inn parking lot just to play around. Guess I will have to watch it. I never was able to get a connection, but I suppose that if I had, it might prove to be a problem.

Trolls and other bullshit

rmiles7721August 6, 20053Blogging

I spent about an hour dealing with comment spam, had to ban about 50 IP addresses. I’m getting used to it, but I damn sure hate it. I need to figure out how to close comments on posts that are over 30 days old or something.

Worse than that, apparently, I have a troll living under the bridge now. He posted a few messages in a couple of the Natalie Holloway discussions that were pretty rude. They have to be pretty bad if I consider them rude. I suppose I offended him in something that I posted (what a fucking surprise), so he has made it his mission to supposedly make my life miserable. I am actually having a bit of fun with this one, even if he is some single, fat, fucking slob with nothing better to do than to show up his l33t hax0r skills. Oooh. I’m impressed.

Part of the fun has been to be subscribed to 100+ different mailing lists and shit. No big deal, because 90% of them require confirmation, so most of them have just gone into the trashbin unseen. The other stuff has been several posts on the blog. I deleted the initial ones, but made sure to rename him Troll, so that everyone knows who he is. I really didn’t get pissed until he mentioned my children in an IM to me. Now I have decided to find out who he is and make him miserable. To begin with I have been in touch with Comcast’s (his ISP) Internet Abuse people. Waiting for some info from them. Hopefully, he lives close to me. I went ahead and banned his range of IP addresses from Comcast from posting. I thought about adding him to the banned sites in my .htaccess, but if he really has nothing better to do than come here and get pissed off, who am I to stop him from enjoying himself. Personally, I prefer surfing for porn to visiting sites that piss me off. It’s like people that complain about stuff being on TV that hurts their kids or that they think is immoral. Change the channel stupid.

I guess any blog attracts it’s share of people that have nothing better to do than make other people as miserable as they are, particularly blogs that have controversial stuff.

BREAKING NEWS I did manage to get a picture of the stupid fucker and his true identity:

He’s really Michael Moore. You stupid fat fucking slob :>
Not really, but it sounded funny at the time.
Updated 10:30pm. I must have really pissed him off now, he tried to sign me up for a bunch of the Debian Linux mailing lists. What the stupid fuck doesn’t realize is that I have been a Debian user since 2000, and am already subscribed. Even if I weren’t, they are just like the others, and require confirmation.

Vacation Pics

I meant to post these the day after I got back in town, but I think that is the day the power kept going out, and my HTPC crashed. I would get halfway through the post and shit would blink off. Hopefully I will get them up now.

Anna usuallly ends up getting buried (or someone has to anyway) whenever we go to the beach.

It was really funny. Ruth had a good time playing in the sand, but I just could not coax her into the water. Once we were at the pool she was jumping in like a fish. Just wanted no part of the ocean.

Took this from the balcony of the hotel. It was pretty cool because you could see the rain moving in very clearly in the distance.

Took this of Anna and Chris on the balcony.

Taking a break at goofy golf.

Ruth and I went outside for a smoke, and I shot this. There was an arcade near the motel, took the kids for a while to let them relax.

Damn, my kids are hams. Always striking the pose.

Damn, it was pretty hot at goofy golf. We went in some kind of maze there as well, and by the time we were finished, we were done. Then drove the five hours home.
