Another Brick in the (Facebook) Wall
by Cabal on Jul.24, 2009, under General Bitching
Some interesting goings on in Facebook land today. My wife is telling me that an ongoing semi humorous, semi serious conversation about whether animals have souls or not; that was taking place on a friends wall, has all but been deleted. It’s all a little to suspicious to be a random (and ongoing) technical glitch, that specifically affected a post with religious overtones.
Of course everyone piled on the wall in question to make comments on any potential censorship, and those comments have disappeared as well.
Naturally I told my wife to post on her wall wondering when the SS were going to come round her up for her dissident thinking. I am nothing if not vitriolic and predictable.
Do they like all the negative media attention over there? I just have to wonder when all the fuck ups will stop. I’ll write more later if there is anything more to tell.
EVE Online: Targeted Marketing

No it’s not a new skill or certification, apparantly, Tim Hortons thinks they have something unique to offer the Pod Pilots of New Eden. Check it out.
I wonder if CCP or Tim Hortons is looking for a marketing liason…
Road Rage
by Cabal on Jul.21, 2009, under General Bitching
I like to think I am a pretty decent driver. I don’t run into stuff, I don’t kill people, and I mind other people using the road along with me. That said, I can be an angry, angry driver. Mostly this is because a large number of other drivers in this city embody none of the things I just mentioned.
Case in point there was a younger guy in an orange Pontiac G6 (this should almost be enough commentary on the quality of driver) on the way to work this morning. While his driving was acceptable, he gets negative 3 hojillion in the “Not a Douche Bag Fuck Face” category. This is due to his insistence that the world, is in fact, his fucking ashtray. Yes, god forbid you sully your Pontiac G-fucking-6 with your filthy habit.
On to the ranty bit, guess what Mr. Bag did with his ashes and butt? Flicked them out the window of course… Where they impacted the hood and windshield of my newly washed 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. After the 3rd full cigarette butt hit my windshield, I dropped the car into 4 and pulled along side, rolled my window down, and let him know that:
HEY! Bitch tits! If I see you throw one more of those fucking things out your window, you’re DONE.
Not having anything intelligent to say to defend himself (or in general for that matter), he wisely said nothing, rolled up his window, and slid back in traffic.
Don’t want butts and ash in your car? Here is an idea; DON’T SMOKE IN IT THEN! Nobody else wants to deal with your habit.
Bruce vs Christmas Tree

This is from a few Christmases back, when I could still own a tree. And yes, that is my cat. *long suffering sigh*

That’s all I wanted to say really. Carry on.
100 Pushup Challenge
by Cabal on Jul.09, 2009, under General Bitching
Those of you looking for quick and relatively easy fitness challenge, should check out 100 Pushups. I have been supplementing my workout schedule with this on the cardio days, and it’s been a fun addition so far. You get some decent upper body development, quick results in terms of ability, and it usually takes less then 10 minutes for a “workout”. There is also an online logger, that let’s you track your progress and share stats among friends. Here are my stats so far, test yourself and post yours in the comments!

Wow, if that’s all it takes to kill 4 ESX 2.5.3 Service consoles, all the same way, and all at the same time, VMware can keep em!
This next fix better work or I know some special servers that are getting de-racked with sledgehammers tonight!
