Current Mood: Retro-ish

With all of the website tweaking and email server shenanigans I’ve been wrapped up in I haven’t had much time to really play anything lately. I finally managed to play a few games today to take the edge off. I did Okami at lunch on the new laptop, AMID EVIL in the afternoon, and finished off with Quake 3 with Yutram and a bunch of bots. I want to add more content to the main Quake 3 server, and maybe check out some other mods, maps and gamemodes.

By the way; I recently fixed the email server. For some reason I only had outgoing working but managed to science it out with some proper DNS sorting. We’re not on the new one yet, for some reason my ISP and domain don’t seem to be getting along and I think it might have something to do with the recent domain transfer from Bluehost to Network Solutions.

Anyways… you can all email an ear full now if needed (you know who you peeps are).

Managing a fire of irons

Now that I have the sites transferred over to digital ocean I can start focusing on getting back into animating. I finished a video over my holiday, but I won’t be publishing it until I finish part 4, only because I don’t want anymore cliffhangers. That said I extracted the audio I intend to animate and hoo-boy… it’s like almost two minutes worth; this’ll take awhile. I’ll be sure to post project pictures in der Discord. I already have stuff in there from a couple past projects. I also built a Discord for The Guild Of Slackers if you’d like to check a look. I’ll get around to finishing it eventually.

Oh, and if you’re having issues reaching me by email I’ve had the webmail servers down… having issues getting those transferred over to our ISP, so if you’re trying to email something to me I won’t be able to get it at the moment. I’ll look into possibly having the bluehost one accessible tomorrow hopefully while I try to get this resolved.

Gem And The Truly Outrageous Dildos

I’ve been getting a bunch of spam email recently from some online jeweler. Weird entries such as:

Dear VIP Members,

The Chrysanthemum Stone, or “Flower Stone,” is a beautiful and unexpected gift from Mother Earth, a symbol of optimism and joy, named for its near perfect representation of this cheerful flower. Chrysanthemum Stone was formed from geological changes in the Permian age of the Paleozoic era, 248 to 290 million years ago, from high temperatures and the compression of thick layers of organic-rich mud at the bottom of the sea.

Wear, carry, sleep or meditate with Chrysanthemum Stone to activate dormant skills, talents and potential abilities that lie within the Self. For those who feel they have missed their calling, or are unsure of what their gifts might be, this stone inspires, enlivens and enkindles. Use Chrysanthemum Stone for a smooth flow of energy in healing work to clear the aura and open the meridians of the physical body from the Base Chakra to the Crown. It is an excellent support stone for acupuncture, and exercises such as tai chi or chi gung.

So basically they’re trying to sell me a crystal that will potentially transform me into a Super Sayian or some shit… that sounds fucking legit af m8! Why would I sleep with a fucking crystal? Do they fashion crystal dildos? Is that what they use to get that smooth flow of energy they were talking about?

Does this also mean that if you accidentally sleep with jewelry on you’ll gain strange abilities? I would be a super mutant right about now, a fabulous mutant… this is jewelry we’re talking about. This might explain the watermelon related dreams a small tad.
