Shadow’s utterly random two a.m. rambling blog entry

It’s a funny thing, normally I am not one much for making random
blog entries with no topic to start with. I guess I am breaking
tradition here.

So, what to write about tonight?

Bitch about the side effects of chemo? Nah… I doubt I’d be the
first or even the best at that. (Though I may do so anyway later.)
Oh yeah and the wonders of having your hair fall out… :blink:

Gripe that I can’t think about anything worth taking the time to
write a “decent” article on. Nah… I’ve got some material for a
few decent ones stashed away on my hard drive for a later date. ;)
One or two of which might be remotely interesting… or not. :dunno:

I suppose I could call this adding content to the site but I
seriously doubt it could be classed as actual content. LMAO
Filler or fluff maybe… ?

I know, I can make a few comments on the whole Madoff thing..

:woohoo:

I’ll give the guy credit, at least he had the right name to be
a high level white collar criminal. He just didn’t have the brains
to pull it off without getting his goofy ass busted. Speaking of
that part of his anatomy, I’m sure that his new room mate will see
about busting it for him.

Ooooh… Did Shadow just say that?

Yes, he did. :neener: :TSHTF:

As for Madoff’s wife trying to make off with her share of the
loot, she showed the IQ of a brick. Did she really think no one
was watching what she was doing?

Give me a freakin’ break…

Now how about some political commentary? :fear:

Call this a general bitching out to the Neo Con crowd…

Kids, STFU about Obama. The man has been in office all of two
months. That is nowhere enough time for anyone to have had a
chance to do anything good or bad. So please, stow it until he
has had a year first. As for all the ones pissing and whining
about him getting ready to take away our guns, give it a rest
people. Our last president did more to erode our rights with
the U.S.A. PATRIOT ACT and his other crap than all the anti gun
laws passed in the last thirty years. Not to mention making the
US about a popular as Germany was in Poland during WW 2 to a good
chunk of the world.

There is something that is remotely site related that I have got
to crow about a little though… In recent months I have been
watching the traffic reports fairly close and am proud to say that
we are getting an average of anywhere from 60 to 120 visitors a day
now. Pretty freakin’ cool as far as I am concerned. :D I will admit
that I am still a little pissed at Google screwing me out of what
I earned with their ugly ads but I can deal with it. I just need
to take the time some day to remove all the ad code that is still
scattered around the site… Mostly in all those HMTL pages I made.

Like, all 150 or so of them. :unsure:

It is never easy… :faint:

This weekend I have been doing a bit of writing around the site
updating sections that I haven’t had time to add anything to.
Mostly just explaining why I haven’t added anything new lately.
Why? Because I hate for people to think I have just quit adding
stuff without rhyme or reason and people that look at XMD rarely
look around the “main” site…

I updated the archive this afternoon and will probably add this
entry later today if I feel up to it. The funny thing about the
archive is that I have had two different people send me email
through Gmail trying to get me to add links to either their site
with no backlink or to add it to some new blog directory. I’m like,
Uhh, guys, it’s a frakkin’ archive, not the original blog. As for
someone wanting a link to their business site without a backlink…
No. If you want a link like that, contact me and I’ll give you
a link in the weblinks directory. The archive only gets links from
my friend’s sites or other sites I am working on myself.

Ok, I’ve warmed up to this entry now… lol

A few weeks ago at xoops.org one of the Mods sent me a PM letting
me know that they couldn’t accept anymore of my Philosophy of
Liberty modules because a handful of whiners on their forum had
decided that they weren’t “real” XOOPS modules. I was like, Sure,
whatever. Then the poor fellow made the mistake of sending me a
link to the thread there… I’m afraid my sarcasm was utterly lost
on them from the first post. The really hilarious part is that
after I started posting the general opinion shifted toward the
fact that all of the modules I had been submitting, the game
modules in particular, were both appreciated and wanted by most
users. This is the same thread where one of the whiners had the
nads to refer to my modules as “just cheap sh#t”

The thread in question…

Why do I mention it now? Simple, I keep an eye on links to The
Bastion. And a lot of the people that have downloaded my modules
have been kind enough to leave my links intact. The funny things
is that for modules that are “just cheap sh#t” seem quite popular.
One site I saw recently was using seven of them in fact.

Yes, someone downloaded and is using 7 of the game modules I made
on their site!

:ura1:

Oh yeah, and that “just cheap shit” crack still pisses me off.

:pissed:

I’m just now sitting here trying to think of something to make for
a late night/Way early morning snack. And am drawing a blank.

:AAAA:

Ok, I’m going to hit “publish’ and find some food.
