Dude, WTF is up with the mass exodus of people to LJ? LJ sucks, Xanga sucks, blog-city doesn't want anyone to see your blog, and... well, what's all the shuffling about for? Especially to LJ, which requires you to have an LJ account before you can leave a comment? Grrrrr
This is, without a doubt, the most amazing ASCII Art I've ever seen. I've pulled a pic of the hottest person in LotR and placed it here. BE CAREFUL, the file is HUGE and rendering will rain down firey death on your CPU. If you want to see more go here (warning NOT work safe). Wow, just wow.
This was linked to on a blog I read. It's funny, but only read it if you're not a prude.
Normally, I manage to find tangible evidence of evil. Well, today, I found proof of god. Two of my favorite things have met. Finally, Once More With Feeling and The Lord of the Rings are combined into One.
Sung to the tune of Going Through the Motions.
BILBO: Every single year The same arrangement Fireworks and food and beer But this time I feel A strange estrangement Nothing here is real My departure's near I don't think he knows But when I go This will all be Frodo's 'Cause I've been going through the motions Walking through the part The open road is calling to my heart Soon I'll leave the Shire To write my opus But I find I'm wavering Now I feel desire To keep my precious - No, I'll leave the ring
About a week ago I came across a page called Mixmaster. It takes the style from one website and plugs in the content from another. For example, here is what happens when you plug the front page of Slashdot into my blog, or this is my blog piped through the OSU mainpage.
In other news, my bloggage has been lacking because I have been working every night with the computers. First up was getting some decent stats about what you all are doing. After much hating of the manual and finally just reading through the config files, AWStats is giving me all kinds of data about you all. 77% of you use some version of the MacOS, while less than 1% of you run Linux. Firebird is the most popular browser at 65.7% while MSIE (Mac + Win) is a distant second at 24.3%. The plurality of you have your screens set to 1280x1024. The most common entry page is my weblog followed closely by http://www.yahoo.com/, which is strange, cause it's not on this server. So far, only Heather W, He'er, and Alana have linked to my blog.
The second major task has been re-writing the code behind my blog. I wanted to add a third column and was pissed that MSIE wasn't displaying anything properly. Many hours later, I have a layout that shows all the columns to everybody, but MSIE still aligns the top improperly. The other huge benefit is that the page size is less than half what it was when I started my blog and things like cell phones and Lynx can read the page much more easily.
Oh, and I almost died several times today... maybe I'll tell you about it tomorrow.
