It wasn't me, I swear officer, the computer did it..

I'm thinking of taking some pic's of my desk and little corner area and posting them, gotta check with the higher ups and see if I'm allowed. :)

Chevrolet Camaro Z28- "A medieval warrior on the path to a rocking chair"

This, is what Jenn wants me to dress up as for halloween. The hell is that woman smoking?

What in the name of hell would ever make a person devote the amount of time they did to making this? There was porn they could have been downloading in that wasted time.

Hmm, and without trying to, I tripped over the place where PaulFirlotte.com shops

Haha, twisted.

I'm a fairly big fan of the Simpsons, so I found this funny, if youre not a Simpsons fan, this might be for you.

OMG, I so want an elephant now.

Well, I always knew the US Government was hiding things from the world, this just proves it. Oh, and the 80's rock.

Wow, reminds me of most IT guys basements/attics

I'm getting a flu shot!

hah, first time ever, I'm going to be so sick.

Hmm, a site that reminds me of having to deal with some people at a former job. I hate people that don't do anything, but yet can throw enough verbage at you that you just don't care anymore

Um, back in the day, there was a lot of hype about hackers changing their grades. Thing was, not a lot of Teachers trusted computers, so there weren't many places that would even think about such a strategy.

Now with everybody being an expert on security and automation, and convenience, some moron has actually put the idea together, and into practice.

Does he not realize that this idea in itself defeats it's own purpose? This is a self destroying project.

If I were a student in a school associated with this program, I'd be near wetting myself in anticipation of its deployment. It tracks -everything-, tardiness, grade, homework, etc. Anything the teachers would want the parents of bad students to know.

bad students, are usually bored, bored students are usually looking for something fun. There is nothing more fun then modifying a system like this to make your family think you're an A+ student (or a straight B-, if you don't want them to get suspicious, heh. ), make it look like you get to school every day on time, and get -all- your homework done.

Wow, this system is idiotic even in principal.. I LOVE it.

Yupp, they're real

What in the name of all that is holy are fecal tongs... please don't say they're what I think they are. Please?

I was at home last night working with this Perl app I'm developing to do conversion from written word, unpronounceable English to phonetically pronounceable , ie., Elvis becomes L - vis, dictionary style basically.

It'll be good for various names I'll have problems pronouncing :)

Feels good to be designing things again without them being used for evil.

Yea, I've been practicing for my learners permit.

I'm wondering if one of these should be used in the vicinity of PaulFirlotte.com

Use the flush luke.

I've no real comments on this, it's a sort of disturbing waste of time, and waste of porn. ;)

Again with the helicopter game, damn this is addictive... But, not nearly addictive as this evil thing.

Hmm, I hate getting up, going to work at 7:30 and not seeing my woman till 9:30-10pm. The funny part is, it's not my fault this time. Unlike my former place of employment, this place understands the concept of a worker basically being on a 'pay for play' contract.

Ie, I work, I get paid. So I get to go home at 5 a lot ;). My woman works and goes to school, so for a change, it's her schedule keeping us apart in the evenings, the only good thing about this is that I hope she now understands what it was like at IK.

Having to work, and not wanting to, and just wanting to come home and goto sleep curled up with a nice warm person.

Hah, I figured out how PaulFirlotte.com gets his hits. This Page, and This Page.

And so to out-do Him, I would like to state that I now offer Grand Theft Auto 3 Cheat Codes and Grand Theft Auto 3: Vice City Cheat Codes, as well.

That'll learn ya.

Don Quixote ? Yeah, I'd belive that.

Owned.

I will own you at Rock, Paper, Scissors.

So, I need a place to display my soom to be extreme pumpkin creations.

Holy Shit, I know some tough guys, but they'd never even joke about this shit.

woah.

Which should I worry about more? the .mil or the .gov? also the cisco.com one doesn't make me as happy as one would think.

.gov - US Government - 3 - 0.10%
.mil - US Military - 1 - 0.03%

The wench finally has confidence in my domestic skillz. I went grocery shopping for us yesterday, I think Jenn was a little worried that I wouldn't do very well ( we usually go together ), But I did fine, and got everything we would need, plus some treats for my woman.

She got off just in time to come pick me up and drive me+groceries home. She was pleasantly surprised by the output of my trip, which makes me very satisfied with myself :)

To thank me for the good outing, she cooked me a nice dinner of steak and potatoes. mmm.

Been working on the concept of an RSS feed for my blog, just so lazy people can generate a customized portal page that includes my site. Maybe even do up a nice news portal page for myself featuring alljenn.com, slashdot, penny-arcade, and a few other choice web comics and news feeds.

Hmm, We'll see if I do it after work, I hope I do, sounds like a neat Idea. heh.

So, PaulFirlotte.com has finally updated his site, but with just his own bitching, that boy needs to get out and do something that doesn't involve violence, he's got VW (Violence withdrawal). He needs to kick the addiction.

Personally I'd recommend some crank and a few beers. But I'm a nerd, so what the fuck do I know?

Hmm, this would be rather interesting if I could get a suit covered with it.

It would help me create the ultimate Halloween costume.

In Japan the apartments are tiny, so here's an itty bitty ikea for the Japanese, Muji.

(Their name, Muji is from William Gibson's Pattern Recognition as a place where none of the goods have any labels or logomarks. Everything is made from recycled carboard and similar materials, and designed to go into miniscule Tokyo apartments.

OMG, this is so old school, reminds me of an old school dot matrix. Matrix.. heh, back in the day it when it wasn't over used by moronic advertisers.

Found this while I was looking for the above link, would be pretty neat for graffiti :)

Also, while I was at it, I found some 'good stuff' for you gothic dudes out there who need a few fashion ideas. Gothic Lolita's.. Yea, yea, I get the implications.

Jenn make's something like this. I -never- want it.

Hmm, I've heard of this guy before, and even seen him depicted in a pepsi commercial.

Hmm.. barbies scare me as it is, but this shit it twisted.

Have you ever received an email and been unable to even guess the language that the moron on the other end is writing it in? If you're like me, then you get numerous ones per day.

I found a nice little app that will guess the language for you, translating it past that point is up to you :)

Here's a demo kids.

Study of these Steps is essential to progress in the Fatty Food recovery program. The principles they embody are universal, applicable to everyone, whatever your personal creed. In FFAA (Fatty Food Addicts Anonymous (ya, like we are able to hide the fact that we are freaking addicted to deep fried Twinkies)), we strive for an ever-deeper understanding of these Steps, and pray for the wisdom to apply them to our lives.

1. We admitted we were powerless over fatty foods -- that our cholesterol levels and the size of our gut, man boobs and/or saddle bags on our butts had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than the Golden Arches could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Richard Simmons as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves and of the health food store inventory and found nothing there that remotely resembled something that was edible or that would even taste good, but we considered having our stomachs stapled and that didn't sound fun either so we are basically doing this on will power until we give up, can't take it anymore, or have a nervous breakdown.

5. Admitted to the pimple-faced deaf kid with an IQ of under 42 and the listening and comprehension skills roughly that of a cockroach at our favorite drive-thru, to ourselves and to everyone that asked why we were in such a bad freaking mood and the exact nature of our wrongs and how a Biggie Meal at Wendy's solved all of that so quickly and effectively, and that if they didn't leave us alone and stop eating fatty foods in front of us we would take that carton of French Fries and feed it to them through their eye sockets.

6. Were entirely ready to have a shotgun remove all these defects of character. Only after we took out that stupid Subway guy (with said shotgun) that walks around thinking he's cool because he basically eats rabbit food on a bun three times a day.

7. Humbly asked a doctor to prescribe high doses of LSD, or other very mentally incapacitating drugs that would not give us the munchies, to help us to remove (or at least help us not remember) our shortcomings and daily temptations to stop at Krispy Kreme for their NY Cheesecake styled long johns.

8. Made a list of all people we had felt like eating since we stopped gorging ourselves with fatty foods, and became willing to make amends to them all and telling them that we would promise not to eat them no matter how desperate we got but that they also might want to stay away from us for a couple of decades or so.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would put their lives in direct jeopardy due to our sudden craving to sink our teeth into absolutely anything (including people) besides a piece of lettuce, a carrot that tasted like dirt, or a low-fat Fig Newton.

10. Continued to take personal inventory of the over-priced lame items of healthy food in our house that took hours on end to prepare properly and when we we became finally desperate enough or at the last moment before it became expired or spoiled, promptly devoured it quickly hoping not to taste any of it's hideous flavor on the way down.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our desire to somehow be able to just eat fruits and vegetables and other crappy foods that were supposed to be good for people, without feeling so depressed that we got dark circles under our eyes and had to spend every red cent we made (that we didn't have to save for the health food) on therapy just so someone wouldn't find us someday swinging from a shower rod or something.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these stupid Steps, we tried to carry this message to others, to warn them of our miserable way of living and to tell them that life simply isn't worth living without a daily ho-ho and ask them who really wants to live to be 80 freaking years old anyway?

Hmm, old news, but evil news.

Excellent, now I know now my standing.. wicked. By the way kids, only Dan Brennan would cheat on something like this.

So RobDurdle.com has decreased in mass, by 20 lbs. All thanks to my new gym.

Ok, I didn't loose a baby, but I did loose the aprox. weight of one.

Well, not really, but theyre
supposed to screw with our power a lot, damn ions.

And no matter how many times I to mention it ( this being the first ), this site rocks

I'm adding this as a perm link soon. All I want for Christmas is a Red Swingline Stapler for my desk.

This is a list of the women that I had to pick from when I picked Jenn. She rox 20 times more then them.

Paulfirlotte.com is really slacking lately. I want to be amused, I as a member of the public demand him to amuse me. His site was set up for the singular purpose of amusing people, and I feel under-amused.

I'd like to make a statement about the last post.. Yes, its about the new Matrix flick. I'm not super hyped to see it, but yet I -have- to. not due to media hype, or any of that jazz, its a personal thing, I'm obsessive. I have to finish watching a trilogy, to do so just feels right. If I somehow managed to avoid the movie, I would feel dirty and ashamed till I did.

What would I ever tell the other kids at recess? I'd be the laughing stock.

Dear lord.. more digging has turned up the best comic site in the history of comic sites.

From dealing with things Paul has, to dealing with problems Jenn had, the joy of prison love and my own hidden skills, as wel as my favorite sport.

It runs the gambit, and is still funny.

Been digging around on tons of other sites this week, found one of my new fav sites, illwillpress.com. Specifically the rant section and the vault were of the most interest to me.

A new project for the RobDurdle.com house

Oh, and yes, something useful for a change. Even thought I'm online damn near 20 out of 24 hours, I've found something to eat up more of my time here.

Oh, and this is why I stopped eating crap like McDonalds

Wow, I urge DanBrennan.ca to goto this site! it could show him how much of his life hes wasted so far..

hmm, 100% waste is a lot..

Holy Crap... Yeah, I might have a problem getting into this.

heh, bad html is bad, robdurdle.com was screwed like a 11 year old girl in cape breton for a little bit.

Aunt Mabel died this past January.

CitiBank: "Our system just isn't setup for death..."
Me: "Oh..."
CitiBank: "I don't know what more I can do to help..."
Me: "Well... if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her...I suppose...don't really think she will care...."
CitiBank: "Well...the late fees and charges do still apply."
Me: "'Would you like her new billing address?"
CitiBank: "That might help."
Me: " ( Odessa Memorial Cemetery #### Hwy 129 and plot number given. )
CitiBank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"
Me: "What do you do with dead people on your planet?"

Even Adam sends me cooler links then PaulFirlotte.com.. a truely sad day for the interweb.

Wow, there goes my thursday night. I generally like to 'fuck the dog' but not in this way.

Well, I'd just like to talk about a game called 'shootey-footey'. People who play it have too much time and money on their hands.

So needless to say, I want to play.

Yes, I am a dork, here is the proof.

Thank you, and I'll go die now, thanks.

damn, these people are wacked more then me.

Looks like RobDurdle.com is moving sometime very soon, luckily I managed to get in contact with a friend of mine who now works with my ISP. And explained my situation to him.. he laughed a lot. Bastard.

But for now, there's a stay in the execution of the RobDurdle.com website running off my own servers.

So, I got bored, and decided to play with some other websites images. Hope you enjoy.

T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. stands for Tests With Inorganic Noxious Kakes In Extreme Situations.

T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. is a series of experiments conducted during finals week, 1995, at Rice University. The tests were designed to determine the properties of that incredible food, the Twinkie.

I swear.. I will beat PaulFirlotte.com at San Francisco Rush 2049. And, I will beat him in his own house!

No matter how much I chew it (corn), It still comes out solid. This being said, it should be titled "the ultimate diet food". Something that tastes so good, but yet comes out un-eaten. Wow. If only science could blend corn and a Whopper. Mmm..

And, I miss my wench.

GameCube = Owned

Its about fucking time.

Attack of the Clones... who get no respect.

*Yawn*

well now, that was a long-ass long-weekend. Of course, It had to freaking rain Sunday. We wanted to go geocaching, but *bewm* rain. Stupid weather.

Wow. Super New High Tech Flight!

Julie is an evil Hacker. I fear her skills.
-PaulFirlotte.com

OMG, PaulFirlotte.com just gave me the perfect idea for Jenn's Birthday Present.

My Little Hoodrat.

OH, also I did some html work and tweaked my blog a little. If you click on the period after the date/time of the post above.. it will take you directly to that post in the archive. So if you want to link directly to something evil that I said, and don't want it to be scrolled away by the new posts.. use that url.

Yea, I know, I'm cool.

So today's activities consisted of updating my Blog's archives with the things that I had to drop due to blogger not being able to handle back dated posts (until now).

Check out the archives for everything from June 2002 -> January 2003 for updated data.

And then I worked some more...

heh. I r sleepy.

Arnold won? holy crap.

I am slowly going crazy.. crazy going slowly am I.. EVERYBODY!

Wow, Am I ever glad I pay my taxes.

Our tax dollars at work.

Heh, reminds me of paulfirlotte.com

Cuz Dave and Charles said so.

And then, you've got your throwbacks to the 1960's.

well, at least I dont have to deal with ageing yuppies from the 80's... yet, give me a few years.

Dude, I knew I hated going to walmart, but I didn't know it was deadly..

Beer, its not just for breakfast anymore.

And then, I put the webserver back on-line. Yes, I said on"-"line. I felt like being old school. Back in the day, we all used the little -, it was a great time.

etc. etc.
