An open thread of openess

Alright, sorry for not posting much. My webhost had some serious issues yesterday morning that were related to some upgrades and migrations. It was so terrible inf act that their phones were down. They lost everything.

And if that wasn’t enough there has also been a fire inland that may be causing us some serious internet issues. The ping on our servers has been terrible these last few days though stabilized tonight. Hopefully everything will be better now.

I tested the Left 4 Dead 2 server by spawning as many tanks, witches, gnomes, explosions etc and the server ran perfectly. Our clients however did not… I’ve also been running an Elevator Source server but had to take it offline. Out of all 8 servers that I’m running Elevator seems to take up more resources than the other 7 servers combined. I find myself having to restart it constantly after people have had their fun in it. Originally I wasn’t even going to make this a full time server, but then I saw people on there and decided to leave it up. It amazes me how people will connect up just to stand around and do nothing but chat with each other… Then I remember that Uru still exists. Maybe I should send these people over to the Myst Online forums and see how fun it is to sit in a neighborhood or a city doing nothing.

On a brighter note all of my matcha items arrived! I haven’t made any traditional matcha yet, but I have had the matcha/sencha teabags. They have a very nice grassy flavor to them. If you like green tea I recommend giving it a try.

For those of you who don’t know what matcha is, click here and be enlightened.

Blukake mascara.

Today I saw something cool. Colored mascara. I don’t wear regular mascara very often, but I do love the idea of colored eyelashes.

It’s a new item I found at work, decided to buy a few of them (they were cheaper than the amazon price). So now I have red, blue and purple. I might even get green tomorrow. But I know one thing, I look damn good with blukake eyelashes.

All in an Overlord's day / OverFashionioned1

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.

All in an Overlord's day / Server

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.

All in an Overlord's day / Are you fucking serious? / Work

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 Bin5

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! 😀

Are you fucking serious?

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
