Bought a Moleskine journal. I am now "that guy". Suck it.
In other news, my neck is throbbing/burning again. Tuesday, February 26. 2008holy hell, fuggin sweet
So I ordered the 360 hd-dvd addon, for 50 bucks. History will bear me out.
In other news, my monitor is 15 inches wide. Also I've had a headache since midday Sunday, when I bought some pants. Also, a belt. Also, a double cheeseburger. Then, today I put them on. But the weather outside was frightful, and so I turned around and came home. There Will Be Blood should have won best picture. Screw you guys. In other other news, fuck jumping puzzles, and fuck "don't die" perfect level achievements. Yes I'm talking about Shrek the Third. SHREK IT'S DONKEY SHREK Yes I'm excited tv and by extension The Office is back. Will be back. Whatever. Uhhh .. oh shit. Gotta surreal this up. ... I totally am putting weird quotes in this “post”. Nooo! Not weird enough! Gonna have to start makin stuff up. Tuesday, February 26. 2008Guano Chauffeur
This phrase must begin being used immediately.

All I can say is, I'm really really disappointed in Toshiba, but not at all surprised. Especially considering Sony's history of bribing everyone they can find to make sure BluRay doesn't become UMD 2.0/MiniDisc 3.0/Betamax 4.0, which is what it deserves to be.

This just in via slashdot: Titan has a buttload of oil.
In unrelated news, Bush administration today announced a plan to invade Titan, to bring democracy and peace to the war-torn satellite. Wednesday, February 13. 2008Economic Stimulus? This is living
Stimulus package? I got a stimulus package for ya right here. heh heh
package So anyway, screw it. I'm probably buyin a triple with my rebate check. 600 US dollars. Or, I'll just pay credit card bills. Yeah, probably a better idea. More games available for credit card bills too. Wednesday, February 13. 2008Formulaic: Iteration 0
Repostin dis to keep making sure people see it.
Formulaic is a text adventure game (err, work of interactive fiction) I've been working on. Today I'm releasing an alpha version of what I have done so far, which is the first part of the game - sort of an old-style shareware episode.   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution - Noncommercial - No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License. Formulaic is written in Inform 7, and you will need a Z-Machine interpreter to run it. I would recommend WinFrotz. Download Formulaic: Iteration 0 here. I'm releasing this version under a Creative Commons license. (That means you can download and play this for free, and give copies to people.) I'd appreciate feedback, or bug reports. Or ideas. Or money. Comment on this post with said comments. Wednesday, February 13. 2008?
I'm hosing this up, I know. But I can't think of anything to say. I really can't.
I'm glad the strike is over. ... Friday, February 8. 2008nooo
Last night I had a dream that people kept sticking needles through my mouth. Most of them weren't syringes, just plain metal needles - to keep me quiet. But some of them were syringes, filled with knockout drugs.
I could have lived without it. Wednesday, February 6. 2008I need some readers here, people!
Help me out. I will offer you upwards of zero dollars. But, more posts prolly. DefectiveJunk.com, for all your uh, nothing needs.
So anyway, a month to go until SSBB comes out. I will most likely be espousing how wonderful it is/how much of a disappointment it is (esp the roster). March 9. Preordered. No items. Final Destination. King Dedede only. I'll probably do this with other games too. If any other good ones ever come out. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I'm looking forward to in 2008. Professor Layton for the DS, I suppose, but I haven't even yet admitted to myself that I'm going to buy it as soon as possible. Which I totally am. Tuesday, February 5. 2008Here we go again
So, I've converted to Serendipity. Blogger blows. Obviously the template is uh, different right now. I've got a lot of work to do which is going to have to wait until I have time.
I notoriously hate every CMS - some even upon first glance. So far, I like Serendipity. No retardation. No "publishing" through an unreliable second hand ftp connection. Doesn't have "nuke" in the title. And, I um, sort-of-successfully imported the old Blogger entries. Of course right now they all look to have been posted today. Rest assured, I'm not quite that prolific. Hopefully I can edit them all into their proper categories as well. I'll do that before template changes. OK, so importing entries didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Or originally thought it did. Anyway. I'll still work on it later. I still might turn this into a pumpkin recipe forum though.

I've used a lot of content management systems since I started "blogging" in THE YEAR 2000. I have yet to see one that works properly. Not even, "has a few too many features", or "is kind of hard to use". I mean fucking, works. I've used News Publisher, Coranto, whatever Coranto was called before it was Coranto, WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, WordPress, phpNuke, and others I've repressed and forgotten. I'm currently back to using Blogger for this site. And Blogger, in addition to having obscure template variables and insane ways of separating templates (just like every classic CMS), has this thing where any minor change I make, it tries to reupload every single file to my web server. And I make changes iteratively, so changing the layout of this site is impossible. Even though it currently looks like shit. Why do I have to sit and click a link to force you to FUCKING UPLOAD THE CHANGES. THEY HAVE TO BE CHANGED. I HIT SAVE. SAVE THE FUCKING CHANGES. SUCK A DONKEY COCK, BLOGGER.

Your publish is taking longer than expected. To continue waiting for it to finish, click here. I'm ready to go back to hand editing html. It's not like anyone comments or reads this. All these wonderful "features" aren't being used by anyone. Your publish is taking longer than expected. To continue waiting for it to finish, click here. Your publish is taking longer than expected. To continue waiting for it to finish, click here. Writer's block isn't what drove me away from posting. It wasn't losing my entire audience. It wasn't even real life intervening. IT WAS EVERY SHITTY CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM I'VE EVER TRIED TO USE. Somebody call Grant Williams. I'm going back to News Publisher. It's eight years old, stores data in flat files, runs with cgi, and is the most insecure system ever (not counting phpNuke). But it was the only one that ever worked at all.

What kind of content would you readers like to see?
Baha. JK. Nobody reads this. I think I'm going to turn this into a pumpkin recipe forum. Labels: blog entry Monday, February 4. 2008

First post! Crap we're off to a horrible start already. This is defectivejunk. It is a website on the Internet. I have had many others, but this is the one I currently have. I will be posting here on occasion as I am now gainfully unemployed. You may refer to me as "rushoffailure", "grimace", "Captain Awesome", "that guy who I sent all my money to", or simply "whoa, that dude? whoa".
I know that's not that "simple" in dictionary terms, but just roll with the shit. Please? I'll be all mean and snarky later, I promise. Just let me be sorta nice for once, ya fruits. Labels: introduction |
