General Chat / Nerdy Quotes...
July 31, 2005, 09:42:24 AM
I started reading some of the quotes at bash.org after Joaquim sent me a link to one of them. Some funny stuff I thought I'd share here.

Quote stfu mat|t u cu.nt
* Acaila sets mode: +b MortalKombat!*@*
<@Acaila> FINISH HIM
rofl
omg wtf man
* MortalKombat was kicked by Acaila (forward, forward, back, back, forward, punch)
<@Acaila> FATALITY!
Quote Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book
Let's see the results...

"Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
"Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything

A magic wang... this was what Harry had been really looking forward to.

"Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work."
"Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. "

Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls

"Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"

The troll couldn't feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry's wang had still been in his hand when he'd jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll's nostrils.

He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll's nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue.

He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them.

Ok
I have found, definitive proof
that J.K Rowling is a dirty DIRTY woman, making a fool of us all
"Yes," Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding.... Any second now, he might hear his mother again... but he shouldn't think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn't want to... or did he?
O_______O
Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang

Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip.

'Get - off - me!' Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.

Quote Radio interview quote from Marine Corps General Reinwald and a female radio host. He wants to host some boy scouts at the training center for some practise excercises. As follows
: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.
: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended. You gotta love the Marines!

Quote So I was at work today, signing for a package from UPS..
When the FedEx guy walks in with a package of his own.
And at that EXACT moment, a customer changes the channel to TBS and the Mortal Kombat movie is on, right when the fight theme music starts.
Did they break out into a delivery duel to the death?
I was prepared for parcel projectiles and fedex fatalities.
They eyed each other, and I knew something was about to happen...
But then the guy changed the channel to "Trading Spaces" and the fight was over.

General Chat / Fett's Vette
July 30, 2005, 10:18:09 PM
I know a lot of us here are nerds... So maybe some of you have heard it already, but there's a really great nerd-core song you should hear.

Fett's Vette Warning, it does contain some offensive lyrics.


Suddenly I had this image of myself rollin' down the street and blasting that song. Of course, you can't cruise and blast music like that without fuzzy dice... and I found the perfect set!


That's right... Fuzzy D20 Dice! On equip: +2 nerd

You can actually buy these over at http://www.advancinghordes.com They're in the novelty section.

Web Design / stats tracking?
July 29, 2005, 03:55:40 AM
Well, most external "services" are just going to be hit counters. You've already got one of those with the phase 2 newsbox... one that doesn't get reset like the stats do. Also, all the old log files are still around, and should be world readable. You can look into the arcane commands to pass to analog (the thing that generates the stat pages from the log files) to make it analyze whatever time period you want.

General Chat / Rocky Mountains
July 28, 2005, 12:16:11 AM
It was a marmot... also know as a woodchuck. I couldn't get a good shot of it, as it seemed a bit under the weather as well as under the rock. The first squirrel I thought was the best, but all the times it was actually standing in a cool pose, my stupid camera's autofocus tried for the wrong point. I think one of the first "toys" I'm gonna buy now that I've got a good paying job is a good camera.

So, went hiking some this summer. Took pictures too.

This first set is a few from a small hike just a few minutes out of town here.

This second set is from an all day hike over in RMNP... about three hours drive (and we left at 4am.)
http://xepher.xepher.net/Albums/Rocky-Mountain-National-Park/

Couple highlights for the second album.

I just love the dark woods.

Squirrel!

Chipmunk!

Yeah, but that javascript was flakey at best. If you didn't do things just right, it'd drop tags in wrong places, or in one worst-case scenario I had, eat the entire post.

General Chat / Any other WoW players here?
July 24, 2005, 08:24:47 PM
I hear that... I hated EQ and most other online games for the same reason. Surprisingly though, WoW seems to NOT be filled with jackasses. Sure, there's a few here and there, but most of the people I run into are actually helpful and nice.

General Chat / Spamalot
July 24, 2005, 05:11:47 AM
So I was listening to the audio recording of "Spamalot" and went to see if there might be a video of the play for sale... Didn't find one, but did find this commerative edition meat-like product. Note the "features" bit... I don't know about you, but when it comes to "trusted" brands, I don't think mystery meat is going to make my list.

Actually, it's quite easy...  just click your name here, type in the number, and hit save. Looking it up on the old forum takes the most time, about 20 seconds.

No worries, I was just discussing my thoughts on said topic. Wasn't a criticism.

(As a side note, I like this quick-reply box at the bottom of the page a lot!)

I know it sounds like news nowdays, but this sort of thing has been around for quite a while in game. After all, you get a bunch of young lonely males programming entertainment, and it's bound to happen. In Quest For Glory 2 (which ran on 16 color monitors if you were lucky enough to have one) there was a hidden bit where the arabian princess goes to change clothes behind this screen before you try to sneak out of the palace. If you'd bought the "X-Ray Goggles" from the magic shop way earlier in the game, you could see through screen. Not that those additional 12 pixels were all that entertaining, but... Another example was the Nude Raider mod for tomb raider. Then there was the whole slew of leisure suit larry games.

Point is, it's not new, the graphics have just gotten better. Well, that, and politicians have decided that video games are finally worth making an issue of. (AKA, they actually know what a video game is now.)
