Enhancement of Enchantment --eod @ 11:33 pm

Shockwave pisses me off. Not because it isn't cool but because it fucking rocks my world. When I goto sites like the den or Newgrounds it does nothing but just make me pissed off, there shyt is so awesome. Not only is it cool but its orginal, and funny. I'm just amazed at what people at putting out now days with it. I still remember using lynx, gopher, and telnet to do all my internet work. None of this fancy web graphic's, you had 2 colors, Black and White (or Green and Black depending on your terminal) and you liked it. Maybe you where lucky and your telnet client supported ANSI and you saw some flashing colors or something.

Sorry the updates are a bit tame right now but I've been so busy with school (Its finals week right now). I'm leaving the house at 8am and getting home at 8pm. Coming home and I should be studying, cleaning or doing something but my energy is nil. Course tomarrow is another day. Ahh yes, another start, another wonderful day. Wait another day of WORK! I get to listen to people bitch about how "My Strawberry iMAC doesn't connect at 56k. Did you know it has a 56k modem in it, w hat kind of scam is this!?!" or

Customer: "Ya'll listen here, I work with computers all the time and I know something is wrong with your service."
Me:"Ummm, ok, What OS are you using?"
Customer: "Don't try and get all fast talking mumbo jumbo on me"
Me: "Just need to know what OS your using."
Customer: "Hmmmmmm" *long pause* "Ohh its blueberry"
Me: "Ahh 8.6 I take it you have an iMAC"

Now I'm not a mac smackie or anything, I just happen to support win3.1/95/98/nt and MacOS 7.1-9.0 at work.
So 8 hours of isp tech support, couple hours of traffic and then home to cram because thursday I've got a stats final and a big as accounting final on next tuesday. But I've been screwing around with some cgi scripting so we can make our posts a bit more uniform. I'll see what I can spit up before I crash tonight.

Rap Rape? --josh @ 1:39 am

You know I can't fucking belive some people.  I work for an
establishment that sells CDs among other things.  And every
day around our department fucking find wrapers off of jewl
cases from cd's.  This means that some fuck head has mozied
on in, unwraped a CD and walked out with it.  And you know
what type of CD it always is?  Fucking RAP!  Not country or
religious, Fucking RAP.  It really makes you think about some
fucking people out there.  What if there is like a hidden
message is most rap music that states "Go out and steal our
next album?"  Who fucking knows.  I would like to see the
day when we have a fucking string of Religous music stolen.
HA! that would be clasic! But please, don't think that I am
getting down on rap here, because I do like the music and I
think that there are some really great artists out there!

Looks like a good role model huh?

Mun-e --eod @ 9:10 pm

When was the last time you checked to see if you have any unclaimed government money. Maybe you never picked up that final check from your last job you went beserker at. Check out find cash

They have a big ol database of people with unclaimed money.

Style... Profile... Denile... --jOsh @ 2:21 am

Yes indeed! it's pretty amazing how well you feel after puttin back a couple
beers, huh? Fuck! I really hate work sometimes! When you have a job that
deals with customer serivce all day (like mine!) you really begin to realize
how most wars are started. STUPID FUCKING PEOPLE! or in other words
IGNORANCE! What a powerful word huh? I think it's the root of most of this
countries problems. I'll tell yeah, a good recipe for death is plain and simple
good old fashion American freedom and ignorace!......... hmmm I realy think I
pass out now...

From:  Slashdot

Since the day the Internet became popular and the good old BBS's faded into the back ground, I myself have had a hard time finding the same kind of active community. Sure there's Slashdot, BugTraq, and IRC, but for whatever reason it seems people remain private and keep to themselves without a who's online option, and a message feature. I do see other Slashdot members posting often, but there are allot more people that read the articles and have opinions that remain in the background. I guess my question is if anyone has found the same kind of thing as the old BBS's?"
Hell ya BBS's rocked. 2400 baud dial up and some fat old guy sysop. Thanking your lucky stars that the line wasn't busy on that rocking 2 line BBS. Logging in checking your mail. Playing some Trade Wars, Leech, Pimp Wars, The Pit and calling that entainment. Thats all I gotta say about it. BBS vs Internet.. BBS wins, you can't compete with complete ansi graphics. =)

But the community feel did rock, the only thing comparable on the internet are telnet bbs's and mush sites. Which kinda blow.

How about a penismightier bbs? I could bust my 2400 baud hayes modem and run renegade or vision-x and be set to go.

How did gates become the richest man? --Eod @ 10:45 pm
Everytime I see this I fawking laugh

Celica vs Prelude --Zack @ 10:45 pm
I was driving with my GF the other day, coming up Sandy Blvd. towards downtown Portland. I stopped behind a tricked out looking, red, late model Integra at the light on 82nd. It was a VTEC (or at least it thought it was), with a shogun style spoiler, aftermarket exhaust, slammed to the ground, with a body kit, and to top it all off, a fire extinguisher up in the window. This guy thought he was a racer, no question. When the light turned green he jumped off the line. So I rolled up next to him at the next light, and after getting the go ahead from my GF, I looked over and revved my engine to let him know my intentions. He revved his engine up too so I gripped the steering wheel with my left hand, grabbed my shifter tight and waited for the light to turn. When it did I dropped the clutch and left about ten pounds of tire as I ripped across the intersection. I was sliding to the right a little since I was peeling so hard, but by the time I hit the other side of the intersection (somewhere in the middle of second gear) my tires gripped and I took off like a rocket. He never even caught my rear bumper. I was shaking for about ten minutes with the adreanline rush. Nothing like that feeling. I love street racing.

Bills, Bills, Bills, Can't pay my Automobills --Eod @ 9:10 pm
Alladvantage pays the bills. Well my friend at work recieved his first check from alladvantage
for 27 bucks. Pretty swanky for popping a banner up on the browser at work. I'm currently up to 36 dollars
so I figure my check should be at the end of this month.

To everyone who just laughed it off. Come on and sign up under my name and find your riches.

Peephole into the Net --Eod @ 9:10 pm
Webcrawler Search Voyeur - See the keywords that people type into the Webcrawler search engine, in realtime as they are typed.

Good ol' things like "Please tell me how large canada is" and "teens+girls+hair" or "I need Command and Conquer please"

The Sky is Falling! --Eod @ 8:50 pm
Found this on wired.com.

Mike Zieper wanted to tap into current passions with his video art. To do it, he made a grainy, gray tape in which a faceless narrator prepares his soldiers to unleash a government-sponsored riot in Times Square at midnight 2000.
Wonderful right? Someone gets to show off there art and skills and have an audience. Oh ya don't forget we live in the age of mass stupidity.
This FBI agent called," said Zieper. "He said, 'There are a lot of people planning to vacation in New York this year, a lot of them are coming to your site and they're getting scared.
So the FBI steps in, this video is less believeable than Blair Witch. After the government comes and bullies the guy around and forces his ISP to drop him, his video is spread around even more. Heheh oops... If stupid people believe stupid things then fuck em. Fucking sheep. =)

So to stick one to the man. Here is the video.

Good ol' Thiruvananthapuram -- Zack @ 5:10 pm
According to our friends at CNN.com India has produced a rocket that uses a "cryogenic engine." The engine uses liquid hydrogen, and liquid oxygen and operates at a low temperature. " 'It is more powerful that any international rival in its category,' Gnanagandhi told The Associated Press by telephone from the southern coastal city of Thiruvananthapuram, where his Liquid Propulsion Systems Center is based. " With this as a stunning new possibility in rocket technology, the real question is now how do you pronounce Gnanagandhi and Thiruvananthapuram?

Atleast the small coffee is free. -- Zack @ 4:05 pm
So it's Thanksgiving Day again. Time to give thanks. I'm so glad to be here at work. With the people I love, and the vending machine food. I guess you could say I'm being a bit sarcastic, but at least I'm getting paid. It's just another excuse to overindulge and feel bloated anyways. So here I sit, helping the seething masses of new technicians answer calls. Waiting for the company to bring me turkey, which should have been here an hour ago. Feeling like a sucker. Oh well. Just another day in the life.

CNN's list of worst traffic areas.

1. Los Angeles, Interstate 405 at I-10.
2. Houston, U.S. 59 at I-610.
3. Seattle, I-5 at I-90.
4. Boston, I-93 Central Artery downtown at U.S. 1 known as the "Big Dig." ("An $11.6 billion federal highway project, called the "Big Dig," is under way to put the main north-south highway passing through Boston underground.)
5. Washington, D.C./Maryland, I-495 at I-270

The complete list is here
I guess this kinda settled the debate between me and my girlfriend about which city (portland or seattle) had worst traffic problems.
I lost. =(

I'm a Genie in a bottle baby. -- eod @ 7:52 pm
Looks like the makers of the bottled cigarette "Break in case of Emergency" have expanded there demographic market.


For those late night cravings

I dunno who the dude is, I don't think he is part of the package but this could be a great gift for cyberhunk Bence.

Spoke to this guy a couple days ago at work. This has to be about the first interesting thing thats happened at work. Check out his webpage, he was the first man to successfully walk around the world. The Earthwalker Website - The Story

My Turn to Put out some shit. -- mike @ 1:59:04 PM
Yeah, ok so I'm supposed to help write for this site.
These two guys Josh and Eod think just because they're geeks they're
all supperiour and crap. Well I got somethin' to say about that. . .
Just because I can't get myself to sit in front of the computer
for more than an hour doesn't mean I don't care about it.
I think its just when I look around on the web or something
I just start to think hey rather than look at some guy's
sorry ass web site about all the things he's done, why am I not
out there doing that kinda shit. Its kinda like Kip Kinkle. Kip
sat at home for years thinking about just shooting up the school,
until one day he had an epiphany the voices in his head finaly
created some coherent sentences and he just up and did what
they told him. I have to say its a good thing that guys like
Kip are in limited supply. Espeacially with a name like Kip its just
an easy target and then you go and add a last name like Kinkel and
man, of course all the kids in school are gonna think he's fuckin'
weird. There was this kid Barney in my middle school, and we
fucked with him every day and called him things like: Carney, Little
Carney Roo, Bitch, Fagg ect... But instead of shooting people
Litte Carney Roo just cried a lot. Like everyday. Eventually
he just went to another school where the kids didn't know that
he used to cry everyday on the first day of school all the way
through the sixth grade. What the hell is my point you might
be asking (if you're still reading this)? Well its this if you
have a fucked up name just change schools. The beauty of this is
some other kid is the class stooge and you can just sort of manipulate
your name for awhile so that it doesn't sound so easy to start fuckin'
with you, and since you're no longer the class stooge you might even be
thought of as cool. If they figure you out later don't worry
its too late they have already excepted your lame ass.

Atleast its not sleep walking -- eod @ 2:42 am
Well after a night of tinkering a bit with the html and finshing up some school stuff I'm ready
for bed. My gf had gone to bed about 2 hours beforeI did, so she was sound asleep. For some
reason when I come into bed I normally bug her and start talking about this or that. Sometimes
she will respond and sometimes she'll tell me to shut up. Well tonight I was rambling on about finals
and just silence. Well fine thats acceptable she has been sleeping for about 2 hours now. So I'm laying
there for about 10 mins watching cars go by on the freeway and suddenly I hear her start talking. It almost
sounds like she is finally responding to me but of course 10 mins has passed. A slight bit muffled and half
formed sentences, I catch on she is still sleeping. I'm laying here listening to her talk and I'm beginning
to get creeped out. I mean what do you do? Its awfully wierd to hear someone laying next to you talking in
there sleep. (She is addressing me and it seems possibly someone else at this point) Since I'm all creeped out
I get up and come write this.

I'm also noticing now how ugly our text section is. I need to slap a new font in this mutha fawkin house

y2k- Yes 2 kia? -- eod @ 1:02 am
I was lucky enough to catch the Y2K movie on NBC tonight. Boy was I lucky, I kept waiting for something
eventful to happen. Something more than the shitty power plant and johnny redneck. But nothing... Imagine
being a major network and having a chance to make a movie about y2k and just making a horrible piece
of hyped up crap. Come on this network has money & power, they can influence people. Why not spend alittle
more than 5 mins and make something decent? The only thing they successfully did was scare up people just in time
for good ol y2k, so now everyone will fret and worry and cause fucking traffic and shoot at me and just cause trouble.
Then the news follows the movie and says a recent poll shows 15% of the people feel the world will end this new year.
I mean come on people.. Really.. The whole world?
For christ sake.

Thinking about the Site.. -- josh @ 12:23:14 AM
Fuck, just got off of work and I am now sitting here thinking about what new ideas we can put into the site.
If we accutally have anyone visiting already, please!  GOD please!  don't write us off! Within the next couple
weeks I should be getting a webcam up so you people can look at my smiling face!   Besides my lovely face, we
will have our trusty friend Mike's articles on what he thinks of things.   Kind of like Any Rooney, except not
quite that old.  Anyways,  I hate writing here,  so I am gonna go now,  but I am sure everyone will hear and maybe
see alot more of me in the future. L8tr!

PS. Check out the site regulary for new shit!  Who knows,  maybe your sorry ass life story will be our feature
story.  If you don't check back you'll never know!
