Fashion week. Because I need something to blog about. It might as well be (more of) me.
Been keeping myself busy the last few days (and sometimes drunk). All in all it’s been a good weekend. So I’m going to do something special this week on the blog and post a picture of myself everyday (or try to) to show off my ugly arse and how fashionable it is.
Since I work with clothes people ask me what the latest trends are… the fuck would I care? I wear whatever the hell I want. Even if it’s Chinese pants with a flowering blue top, blue flower and a blue necklace.
My server fetish has been fed.
The new server arrived yesterday! It’s a very nice setup with quite a lot of options (extra fans, up to 64GB RAM if I want, etc). Setting it up with the latest Fedora for a test run later today. But so far I’ve been impressed with it! Well… all but Fedora. With every new release they seem to give me another reason to hate what they’ve done with Anaconda.
That should be fun to test later though. Think I’ll celebrate and get some coke to have with my whiskey.
Lacking moral fiber.
Man… work was brutal today. I got there and one of my coworkers spent 4 hours in a checkstand without getting a break (which in Oregon is illegal since you are required by law to take one every two hours), then at one point he had to go to lunch for two hours because he came in too early and the store doesn’t have enough hours for him to stay a full day. So they called yet another one of our people down to check leaving us with two. Then I had to go to lunch and that left one person up stairs by themselves having to manage every department… I came back and had to help some customers for a bit. Then at about 8:00pm I headed downstairs to start bringing clothes in from our sidewalk sale (about 40 racks so it takes awhile). The shoe lady that had been checking for almost two hours finally gets to go back to her job… for five minutes before calling her down again. At this point I finally have some help bringing things in. The downside is that there was no one upstairs to help anyone find anything or get anything done. So we had at least one shoplifter make off with $100 worth of stuff because Security went home early. It’s like we’re designed to be total fail.
The person in charge (of the checkstands and the store tonight) is one of the same people who forced my boss to work a checkstand with an injured back. There was also another case that happened recently where an actual cashier had breathing problems due to the tar. She had a severe case of Bronchitis and needed to get to the ER and they denied her… at least until she said she thought she was going to die there in the checkstand.
Jesus Christ it’s like we’re competing with Wal-Mart to see who will make it to the bottom first.
The Recycle Bin! You can’t go off topic in the off topic section.
Found this deleted thread in my RSS this afternoon. Did you know that using an off topic section on a forum for help with something off topic is not allowed at the Myst Online forums?
Here is a post from GMZ regarding his deleted thread.
Alrighty, hello… So my thread that i posted here, in the off topic site, was just removed, for being off topic… I do not fully understand why, and the reason that I was given by the moderators do not make much sense. So, I’m here to rant to the moderators. In an open topic.
First off, if you do not wish people to have an off topic conversation, why would you bother having an off topic section of your site? The Off Topic Section of the Myst Online: Uru Live Forum to me, is basically saying “This is where you can go to talk about things that are NOT related to Myst, Online URU or Live at all…”
but apparently this assumption is wrong, So i’ve just made an ass out of me and uption. Next off, They could’ve given me a warning on the forum… Something simple like; “Hey… keep on topic!” which, once again, I’m in the off topic section of the forum, which apparently is erroneous in title.
Anyway, the point I am trying to get at; This Forum is wrongly named. It shouldn’t be called “Off Topic”, seeing as the reason I was claiming that the site was myst related, by posting it in the off topic section of this forum.(I posted it in every forum i’m a member on, for the record… well, save for Slackers. because they don’t give a gorram shit about me)
moderator note
Hi,
We will remove your thread from the MOUL forums.
At the beginning we thought it is OK, just a request for some folks to go and test something. But now this is developing into a debugging/support forum for an application/game and looks like a misuse of the resources here. We think that you should be providing your own services to support your activity rather than piggy-backing off the MOUL forums, especially since your site has no connection with Uru/Myst other than your own involvement.
Thanks for understanding,
The Moderation/Admin Team

It’s nice to see that Veralun Verylooney is alive and well! 😀
A new meaning to footlong?
Some guy who worked at subway admitted that he tapped some nice buns… and by buns I mean a sandwich.
A tipster sent the photo, along with others, including a bottle of what is alleged to be frozen urine, to Huffington Post’s Weird News. The images had been placed on the Instagram and Twitter accounts of other employees at the store in Columbus, OH.
The photo of the penis touching the bread had a caption with the employee’s name, saying “I will be your sandwich artist today.”
At least this wasn’t a Jack in the box restaurant. Then I’d be blogging about the special Jack Sauce
Early Morning Open Thread
Aside from searching for a better dedicated server I didn’t do much. It was cold out today so I mainly stayed in and drank tea on my day off. I goofed around, talked to friends in mumble, played some Serious Sam, bought some gifts for future use and few other things. I touched SFM last night, but don’t think I’ll be releasing anything just yet. I’ve really been burnt out lately due to work so I can’t help but screw off. 😛
Time to upgrade the dedicated toaster.
I think I have outgrown my linux box. I’m contemplating getting something like this to replace our current box which is an older proliant. With that I would have lots of room and better support for the TF2 particles. Between running multiple servers and the enormous amounts of particle systems for TF2 lag becomes a royal pain in a matter of seconds.
