…and now you’re older still.
Happy birfday to Monsieur Livingdead. Hope it’s a good’un!

— A ski trip is in the works. I would like to include as many people as possible in this trip. However, seeing as how holiday schedules, weather, and potentially long drives may put the kibosh on everyone being available, I just want to say that I am completely prepared to go by myself. if necessary. I’ve been wanting to get a ski trip together for several years now, and by Lucifer’s beard it will happen this year. Those interested should let me know so w can hash out details.
— I’m surprised I’m not somewhere on this list, considering the fact that, while drunk, I have: cut people with car keys; slept in the woods at the fairgrounds in Murray, KY; woken up in someone else’s long-lost pullover; repeatedly turned into Bill Cosby; repeatedly asked to be murdered; hidden in a graveyard; lain in my own vomit; verbally abused crowds of people in a virtual world; infused my parents couch with the smell of “raw sewage” using only my flatus; and many more experiences I can no longer remember.
— And finally, a little Xgiving treat from Stinkoman. Enjoy!

I know, hyperbole and all that rot. But here’s a depressing glimpse of my retirement account. I can’t imagine being retired and seeing the same thing.

Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem... · 2008-09-12 10:11
It’s been awhile. Here we go…
From the creepy department:
Crooked rot, a really well-done stop-motion animation. And yes, creepy as hell…
If you are hungry, how’s about some creepypasta? Be sure to read it late at night, too!
From the time-wasting department:
Fark introduces a FAIL tag. Hilarious pics ensue.
Also, this.
And finally, if you haven’t checked out The Whitest Kids U’Know, this
is probably the litmus test for whether or not you’ll like it.
Also, most of this stuff is prolly NSFW, so fairly warned. Now get outta here, or I’ll sock your hops!

I will survive, in my Mach 5... · 2008-08-06 18:41
No updates in awhile, work has been hectic, blah blah blah whatevs.
Here’s what I need from you guys: I have to order a new company car, and I’m kinda stuck on what to get. Here are the choices:
Technically, I could also get a Dodge Grand Caravan, but as Timbo said, I “don’t need to be toolin’ around in that thing.” I agree, so it’s off the list.
Now, here’s what I think. The Journey is a ugly-ass crossover dealy, but it has a shit-ton of storage space and is fairly roomy. It also has a “Chill-Zone”, which is fucking lame. The Malibu gets great mileage and is a dece looking car, but has less space than my current car. The Forester is an ugly-ass wagon-type thing, but has plenty of storage and is also all-wheel drive.
My main concerns are comfort [since I spend so much time in the car] and storage room for all my work-stuff. I think all vehicles have an aux jack for the mp3 player, so I’m covered there.
Lemme know what you think.

We are young but getting old before our time... · 2008-07-06 17:08
…we’ll leave the TV and the radio behind.
I’m having a crisis of conscience here. Fairly warned, though, you may need to present your dork badge to read on, or at least have some formal background in geekonomics. Let us proceed…
I have been mulling over the idea of rebuilding my computer, which I so lovingly and painstakingly built back in early ’06. The compy isn’t dated, per se, unless you consider playing Crysis at the highest settings in Dx10 the standard. Which is ridiculous, because no one had done that yet. But i digress…
My current setup works quite well for my needs: music, movies, WoW, and internet porn. But lately I’ve started to notice some hitches in performance. It’s possible that with the umpteen programs I run at any time might be the cause of this slowdown, but I remember the good ol’ days, when the compy was a pristine system, without hidden processes always running and old remnants of bloatware scattered all over C:/. Those were the days when I could run anything, without worry of stutter or lag. But not anymore. Not even after I recently wiped and reformatted C:/. Is it possible that even after a proper format I still have old data ghosted on the drive? I recently had an interesting and highly dorktastic discussion with one DPatch about this, but I won’t go into detail because it will quickly go over all of our heads. Suffice it to say that ghosting is a distinct possibility.
I don’t think thats the cause of the performance issues, though. Actually, I thought it was my video card at first, but after swapping the old card for a brand-spanking-new one, I’m still having issues. The poor compy has crashed a few times over the past couple of weeks, and I’m starting to think that it’s either an overheating issue, or a power issue. I’ve cleaned and dusted the inside of the case, and all the fans seem to be working okay, but I still lose power. So, I’ve decided to up my power supply to a 750W brick, which oughtta be more than adequate considering I don’t do Crossfire or SLI. I am running 5 HDDs and a few disc drives, but usually not all at once. However, most of the slots on the motherboard[PCIx, SATA, memory, ect] are full. Is is possible that I need a more robust motherboard? If so, shouldn’t I go ahead and upgrade to a better, more compatible processor?
And THAT is precisely the question I get hung up on. Processor…AMD or Intel? Really the only two manufacturers in the business for Joe Cosumer, so which do I choose?
A few years ago, that would have been a no-brainer. AMD ftw! I’ll admit, I’m a bit of an AMD fanboi, but I have good reasons. AMD is the underdog, fighting against the evil empire that is Intel. AMD has less money, fewer resources, and a pathetically small piece of market share to operate with, and yet they still make a decent chip. Or, they did…
See, AMD recently unveiled their new Phenom multi-core processors, and frankly, they aren’t even beating the Core 2 Duos Intel started pimping out 2 years ago!
So it comes to this: buy a more expensive top-of-the-line AMD chip, or go with a cheap-o middle-of-the-road Intel chip for less than half price [plus the cost of my soul, which will then belong to Intel as well]? Support the underdog’s inferior hardware [goodness knows they need the money], or save a buck and sell out? Principles vs economics. Brand loyalty vs common sense. Ugh…

This redesign is very much a work in progress. So far most of the site nav doesn’t work, except Home, and the page doesn’t display properly in IE. My advice….don’t use IE, because it sucks. Also, comments are still there but you’ll see remnants of the old layout when you try adding them. Don’t freak out.
Overall, the site needs a bit of polish, but it’s getting better. Stay tuned.

…it’s not where I should be.
So, haven’t updated in a bit. Let’s see what news I care to report.
– Habs go up 2-0 in an OT win. Sweet!
– Srsly. Why???
– I’m almost positive that I have developed the world’s worst Don Ameche impression. However, it may be the world’s only Don Ameche impression, which would also qualify it as the best…
– Again, WHY?!?!
– As always, so much to say but so little I want to say.
– GO HABS!! Go Arsenal!!!
– About to embark on the world’s first [afaik] WoWerHour. Let’s hope it’s tawdry…
