I’m doin’ the best I ever did…

August 26th 2004 in Soapbox

Holy, trumped-up, balled-headed, Jesus Palomino!

So not missing the SNARK. I made the mistake of popping over today to see what all the noise was about and just got slammed in the face with the memory of why I stopped going in the first place.

Pev? Here’s a phrase you may borrow and toss at the howler monkeys at your leisure. “Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it!” My compliments.

Christ. Shit happens. But apparently it’s never quite over until it’s beat to death, to the point of being utterly unrecognizable.

That’s somewhat amusing, considering you’re currently one of the aforementioned howler monkeys on Pev’s case. :)

Allright, let’s not turn my blog into SNARK, please.

Yeah, no sense in making with the howling and the snarking here. It’s all good — there’s a place for that.

Thanks, man. It’s good to know that not -everybody- is disgruntled and whatnot. Vote of confidence helps. I’m working on it — we’ll put shit back together, and we’ll get things going again. I mean, damn, we all know there’ve been worse things in MU* history.

It ain’t like we’ve been hit with twink brigades or masses of psycho staff or whatnot. We’re good, and we’ll get better.

Thanks, Mario.

That place is still around? Admittedly I haven’t even looked for it since I stopped MUSHing.

Yeah, it’s still around, but for how much longer, I’m not sure.

After all, Denver somehow survived the Darkchylde debacle. And if you can survive that, you can survive /anything/.

Well, I decided to just make it a board. I’m using phpBB. It should be up in it’s initial incarnation in about two weeks. Lately, though, I’ve been having second thought. Heh ;)

Anomaly, Snark, I’ve better things to do with my time, like watching my son play in his very first real football game next week! He’s learning to play as both a wide receiver and a defensive lineman. If you see number 24, run.

Just don’t allow personal attack bullshit. Don’t allow comments on actual games, if you like, and require everything to be framed in hypotheticals and abstracts. Make it a place for cooperation and discussion, rather than finger-pointing and poo-flinging.

That’s definitely kind of the idea. How successful it’ll be who knows. We’ll see. :)


From the desk of the Robot Poet™…

Recently I’ve been doing a lot of work, in my spare time, trying to get SpamAssassin to be more intelligent about catching SPAM. It uses a bayesian learning system, as described in Paul Graham’s A Plan for Spam, and therefore needs to be taught. This means, unfortunately, that I’ve had to actually look at a [...]
