Gunman at Orlando Daycare

Bad stuff happens everywhere, but I have a few acquaintances in the Orlando area, mainly bloggers and people that work for PPP so it makes this story even more scary. Apparently a guy shows up at this Orlando daycare looking for his girlfriend (or ex-girlfriend) and starts shooting into the windows. The good news is they were bulletproof. AND the entire thing was caught on video. Needless to say he is being held without bond.

A Stern Warning

Hi, for those of you unfamiliar with who I am: My name is Travis and I’m the asshole who runs How To Kill People (dot) Com. Go Ahead, click the link, you’ll like it. Now I’m not here to talk to you about the fact that I love pro-wrestling or that I’m fairly certain that once Britney’s hair grows back and she accepts the fact that coccaine actually is her best friend; she’ll be doing gang bang clown porn. No no no good readers, those things are all foregone conclusions. Nor am I here to pimp out my website, my blog or my comic strip. Though personal advertising is a hobbie.

I’ll be using this opportunity as a guest blogger – which is an interesting concept – to bring to you a warning.
This world that we live in is a scary place. It is full of uncertainty. We – both as a people and a species – are constantly under the threat of a great enemy that sits just over the horizon. There is an unstoppable force that will, someday, descend upon us in an attempt to snuff out the human race. What is that threat you ask?
Zombies
Yes, Zombies are possibly the greatest threat that exists to mankind because they know no fear, they have few weaknesses, they never sleep and they hunger for the flesh that covers my oh so precious bones. I’ve grown rather fond of my intact, flesh covered, bones.

Pirated Software…

I came across the link to this youtube video at Digg this morning and figured it would at least be funny. Perhaps all of my humor has fled this morning but all I really wanted to do was find this dick and punch him in the nose for wasting so many people’s valuable time. I suppose it could be worse.

Comments and Spam

One of the reasons that I have been looking at switching to another CMS package is due to all of the comment and trackback spam I get. I average several hundred to over a thousand spam comments each day, and around one trackback every two seconds. It’s really starting to bog things down here.

Rather than that I have implemented captchas (which I hate with a passion) in the comments as well as renamed my comment and trackback scripts. Hopefully that will help a little bit.

The other reason is a bit more stupid and I decided it wasn’t that important after all. I like Gravatars in the comments, but it only works about half the time for 25% of the people. I want to use mybloglog, but there is no plugin for Movabletype. I guess I just need to be patient.

There won’t be a huge amount of posting today. I am going to take a short nap. After that I need to make a trip to the dump as well as get a bit of grocery shopping done to get ready for the weekend.

I am sure that I will be back online later with my poignant (nod your head) commentary later.

Sevenload Thinks Americans Are Uneducated Morons

Apparently someone read my nasty post from yesterday morning about Sevenload because they stopped by and left this comment last night. Now that I am actually awake and have re-read the comment, I stand by my first post. Apparently if we don’t agree with them about Guantanamo Bay we are uneducated people. That’s a pretty heft portion of the U.S. Population.

Dear shadowscope,

we understand your concern that uneducated people might feel infuriated by what happened at Guantanamo. Let me assure you, though, that we do not feel we have a stance against America. We feel it is our duty to offer an unbiased access to topics that spring up in our community. In the wake of the Saddam execution video, the topic became part of the extended discussion on our site. We created a special to allow users to comment on both sides of the story. no more and no less than that. We only believe in a citizen’s web of open discussion. However, we have withdrawn the special as this discussion has now passed it’s prime and we are reflecting on a balanced way to lead that discussion. We cordially invite you to join in!

At least they had the nuts to stop by and comment. That’s more than I can say for a lot of people. They have also taken down the section that I was referring to. I will stop by the site this afternoon and give it a proper review and at least change the title of the prior post. I don’t need to stop by and look at anything, the comment they left tells me everything that I need to know. Apparently Sevenload has decided to take a political stance against the United States and thinks that bloggers like this are uneducated and not able to make decisions for ourselves unlike their surrender monkey selves, but then I guess we all have our opinions and like any other consumer, it is buyer beware. I vote with my feet, and my feet are carrying me back to Youtube

I see that Dave Berube also received the same comment from Sevenload that I did last night.
