Commercials for the Internet
And Common E-Mail Piss-Offs

So I, like everyone else, get email. You can't tell me that you don't get email, because I'm sure your one of the tens of thousands of people that my email previously made it to. I so do love to get a joke in my inbox, but by the time i've scrolled down thru ten pages of people that its been forwarded to, I'm at a point where I really don't feel like laughing anymore.

Its not hard to get rid of all these addresses. When you click the forward button, hotmail (I'm using hotmail as an example, every other email program has this option in it somewhere to) opens up a compose window, with the message to be forwarded in an editor below. For the love of all things good and mighty, take TWO secounds to delete anything that doesn't pertain to the joke/message. Thats all it takes, TWO secounds! Select the bad stuff, hit the backspace, and presto!

Its also very nice that Linda has a little text art thing that she decided to include somewhere amoungst all those addresses, but I think Linda needs to know the following: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. Honestly, If your putting that stupid thing in there because you think it will draw attention to your name, and make you more popular (you wouldn't do it to be less popular would you?) your not quite realizing what an annoying prick your actually being. I think DOWN on you, I think 'what kind of an immature little shit needs text art to build their self confidence, haha, I laugh at that person, hahaha'.

Another thing lately is the whole web-page inter-mezzo thing. They're like commercials for surfing, what the shit is that? It's bad enough I have to watch a stupid banner go all flashy flashy while it tries to gain my attention, but now each time I click a link its like playing a round of russian roulette. Will I get an ad? or will I be allowed to continue to what I really want to see? Much Music had one of these bad boys today when I was trying to see this weeks countdown. I say keep the advertising on the tv, they can't possibly be making all that much money (if any at all) by having web-page ads anyway.

I imagine these inter-mezzos are just going to grow in popularity though, and theres not a damn thing that can be done to stop them. Unless of course everyone just forwarded their email to a page with mezzo's, the length of said messages would annoy the moderators until they got the message :)

Peace Out
I Don't Care Who Got This Message Before Me, I Really Don't

Uber Case
Money I Don't Have To Spend

The hard drive on my computer died yesterday. I sometimes wonder what I'd do if I didn't know what I was doing. It's a mixed bowl i figure, one of two possibilities, i) I'd be shelling out more money and curses then I do now, or ii) I'd have bought a computer already built, and not have to worry about fixing it myself. With the way things get used around my place though, i'm leaning towards the first situation though.

So anyway, I hadn't been having the best relationship with my motherboard/case, so I decided that if I was fixing the hard-drive, I may as well fix that too.

You can check out some pictures from the whole switch-a-roo Here. TopCities gives me 120megs of free storage space, so i've decided to upload all of my digital pictures to them, rather then tripod, who only see fit to bestow 20megs of space on me. I imagine topcities has less bandwidth though, so everything probably evens out in that respect, but hell, 120megs, nice.

The new case on my computer rocks the monkies uncle. It has a handle for Christ's Sake!, which is good for toting it upstairs to my room, and into my closet, where prying little (and old for that matter) hands can't use it. Check out the link above for a couple pictures of it.

The leafs won tonight, though they really got their asses kicked when it comes down to technicalities. Oh well, 1-0 leafs in the series.

Peace Out
