I just had some sales guy call me. Here’s a general transcript:
Sales guy: Hi, I’m with Some Company, and I got your information from That Other Company. Blah blah buzzword blah buzzword blah blah bullshit?
Me: We don’t have anything like that here, so I don’t need to buy your product.
Sales guy: Oh, you don’t have any blah blah bullshit?
Me: No, we don’t.
Sales guy: Okay, well, can I just send you an email every once and a while to keep you apprised of our products?
Me: Sure. Sounds good.
Sales guy: And … your email address is…?
Me: Who did you say you were again?
Sales guy: I’m with Some Company? We specialize in-
Me: Where’d you get my name and number from?
Sales guy: We got that from That Other Company…?
Me: I don’t know who they are.
Sales guy: [laughs nervously] Oh… um…
Me: I’m not comfortable giving you my information. Goodbye.

If you find your gaze fixed to the screen, reading this text, then you’re reading it served from our totally awesome new upgradified server.
How upgradified is it, you ask? I’m glad you did. It’s exactly one hojillion times faster. Now that’s precision.
You may or may not recall the old setup. For the non-nerds, I point out that we are officially speed-hole free!
For the nerds: it was a converted POS Gateway-brand machine with 384MB of RAM, about 15GB of 8+ year-old RAID-5 SCSI disks, and a sub-GHz P3. Our new system has 1GB of RAM (upgradeable to 4GB), 160GB of space via a 4-80GB-disk SATA RAID-5 array with one hot spare, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz processor. Woo!
PS: Guh, I was just interrupted whilst writing this post by a software developer - a person who works with computers all day, every day - because she couldn’t figure out “how to make the internet work.” Her first problem? She plugged the phone cord into her laptop. Terrific.

Great Internets! I supplicate myself in your general direction!

The site is going to be offline for most of the day on Friday, back on (hopefully) in the early evening. Get in all of the dead-people-sex and poop humor you can before then.

Our hosting provider unfortunately lost their power for most of the day today, and - as you might have noticed - we were offline.
We’re juiced up now, though, bitches!

Right now, and since about 5pm, western and south-western Baltimore has stunk like a broken sewer pipe. Even after traveling from Catonsville (stinks) to Ellicott City (stinks) to Arbutus (really stinks) the stink still lingers. I have no idea what it is and can’t find any info. Does it stink in the city right now? Is Dundalk burning?
P.S. Even northern Catonsville, up by Rt 40, stinks. I just called my mom, and when she declined to step outside and take a whiff, I convinced her that the air smelled like candy, instead of raw sewage. Point: Mokie.
UPDATE: as of this morning, the ass smell is officially gone. Will it forever remain a mystery?

The shitbaggers at Merriam-Webster choosing to include “unibrow” as some kind of new word when any sane person - obviously using their brain for something other than growing hair, unlike the rest of the mongoloid populace - knows that true scholars call it a monobrow.

Somewhere thereabouts of last Tuesday night, our server got hacked. Right now the current estimate is via some kind of SSH exploit (we were running 3.8, latest stable is 4.3). It also appears there might have been some sort of Cacti exploit. Either way, as soon as we discovered it, the machine was shut down without ceremony. It’s taken this long to get it back up and running due to time restraints, but it’s all better now.
Back to your regularly scheduled poop and vagina jokes!
