So we saw a guy yesterday wearing a shirt that said FIGHTING SOLVES EVERYTHING, and it got me thinking that a BME variant might be fun. Below are a few ideas…. Personally I'm in love with the one on the right? I can send the screens to Ryan, but if you're an IAM member, please post your opinion in the BMEshop forum. Fingers crossed for the blood one!
Edit, by request I have also sent him “PAIN SOLVES EVERYTHING“
I still need wiki editors, and the current ones are doing a great job so far! Thank you all! If you'd like to take part, email me a request to glider@zentastic.com (although because Philip J. Fry will be on this computer today, it won't be an instant reply — I'll check hourly).
This guy, who has a problem with the entry on smoking, will not be added:
Smoking!!! The only thing you can injoy today besides sex. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about cigeretts and all the damage they are causing to everything and everybody,poor harmless cigeretts; The best thing that ever came along for man. If you could elimanate smoking all togather, you still would have people dying of lung cancer,and alll the other sickneses that cig. are causing. Insted of blaming cig. for all the worldley ills and useing cigs. as a crutch and a money maker maybe you should start looking to other things. New Jearsy, your way out on cloud nine. Banning smoking everywhere, except casinos. The air you breath, is your answer its all around you. Also drugs, booze, trucks, buses, jets ect. ect.
Thanks again everyone who's helping out with this! We'll probably have it live for the world to see tomorrow.
My doctor's appointment went really nicely… There's still some minor adjustment needed to get my sleeping working like it should, so one of my drugs was upped, and another one is being taken out of the mix for now… But on the whole I feel happy and clear-headed, better and sharper than I have in years. If you're having a rough time coping, I'm serious, don't be afraid to ask for help. I mean, be wary, because there are problem doctors out there for sure (trust me, I know), but it's worth it if you can find someone who gets you and spend the time to figure out exactly what your issues are.
I can't quite afford to pay for my new prescription (not a big deal because it's just a double of my current one, so I've already got what I need “in stock”) because I maxxed out my cards. I have a really low limit — laugh it up — so buying two terabytes of SATA-II drives and a SATA-II RAID was all I could do today. That should end up getting installed in the next week. I'll need to take IAM offline for a little while when it happens (maybe for a day even), but this will give us tons of space to play with, and because I can offset some of the load to the NAS, it should let us increase the number of users before we do the main CPU upgrade (also coming soon).
And of course there's painting with Nefarious!
It's a bit dirty and gross looking because I just took the stitches out before taking the picture, but here's a quick photo of my finger (read about what went wrong with my magnets if you don't know). It's still a tiny bit sore, but given that it was splayed wide open recently and had a lot of its guts excised, I think it's doing quite well.
Let's see… Nefarious goes to visit her grandmother for a couple weeks (for Easter and for a big birthday party) shortly, which will give Jon and I some time to finally sit down and do some heavy work on BME, the encyclopedia (I'm finally giving in and moving to a true wiki, so I'll need your help working on it), and finally installing the 2 TB NAS we're building for IAM.
Anyway, tomorrow I have another doctor's appointment but when I get back there'll be a BME update, and possibly a very cool new interview care of The Lizardman… Night all… time to figure out if I have the energy to write some ModBlog posts still!
Scroll down if you'd like to read the funmail from AOL members… The first bunch of paragraphs are about my personal life and assorted musings. Oh, and supper is ready so I haven't proof read this. Bite me, grammbo nazis.
I was planning on sleeping in today (normally I do the “morning shift” here but Jon volunteered), but a phone call woke me up so I got up with Nefarious. I think we played a little and then were about to cook breakfast when we realized we were out of food! So off to the grocery store (with a truffle treat on the way out) and then a super breakfast of fresh fruit, berries, cheese, and yogurt. Then a bit more playing and her and Jon headed down to play by the river for a while.
When they got back, we headed out again to get a few DVDs — some street racing and brutal violence for Jon and I (we're thinking about having a UFC party on Friday — our TV is I think a 54″ HDTV), a Yoga DVD for Nefarious and I (she loves doing Yoga), Prince of Egypt (which I admit I probably enjoyed more than her), and a boxed set of IMAX nature films that we can put on while we're playing and drawing and so on… I also got a banjo DVD and it turned out that the girl at the checkout was a banjolin player so we had a nice chat.
You know, the one good thing about this marriage breaking up has been figuring out that it's actually really, really fun being a father… Before the break up we had a maid and one or two nannies depending on where we were. Now, that was great because I was able to do tons of work, Rachel and I could travel a lot, but honestly, now that it's just me and Jon and Nefarious, I spend a great deal of my day just playing with Nefarious and hanging out… If there are any young fathers reading this, please, don't make the same mistake as I did and avoid being a father as long as possible. It's one of my biggest regrets in life, and one that you can't rebuild if you take too long to realize what you're missing.
Other than that, I'm coming into my medications really well. It's actually pretty amazing. I've cut smoking pot down to almost nothing (maybe once or twice a week — I spent years smoking very heavily, and drinking heavily for those periods where I couldn't get it), I don't drink any more, I don't consume caffeine, and it's amazing — this combined with the very low level of psychiatric meds that I'm on has given me such a clear head in comparison to where I was at for the past few years. I still feel tired, but I don't feel muddled, and I don't feel like there's a haze over top of everything…
Oh, Jon and I (and I think Angela too) start Systema and other fighting artist either later this week or next week I think… It turns out that the Fighting Arts Collective Toronto is just around the corner from us! The also teach medieval weaponry (German longsword, mounted bow combat, and so on) so I'm pretty stoked about that as well. If anyone reading this would like to come and check it out with us drop one of us a line.
As you may know (and you can read back through the AOL member email entries if you'd like), I regularly get angry mail from AOL membership who get “AIM” and “IAM” completely confused and think I'm the guy they need to complain to. And for some strange reason, now I'm even getting complaints from MySpace users that think I can solve their TOS problems there. It's very strange.
For starters, a few people would like to see “keepinxgangster” kicked off the site for the following comment: “What group?!…im not GOTHIC…okay…its way better than being a skanky prep like you” You know, if that's the worst thing anyone has ever said to you, you're doing pretty good.
Someone (anonymously) is concerned that someone is going to tell on them so they preemptively inform me, “sanchezjldv said alot of crap about me and my sister so i said the same stuff about her just wanted you to know that it was both of us not just one of us” Oh, no worries. After all, two wrongs make a right. It's cool.
"soundsbymichael is posting my personal information on their screen name which is similar to mine. Please forward this to the FBI ."
Yeah, I'll get right on that. Expect the J. Edgars soon. You know, I really couldn't care less when I get email like that. Not that big a deal. Grow a thicker skin and block them. Big deal. But there is stuff like the message below that I find kind of upsetting that I wish I could do something about (but I can't, because they never even give me enough information to be able to forward it to AOL.
A boy with the above named screennames threatened my daughter Jasmine **** (****) to rape her, knowing where she lives and her grandparents, knowes her parents names and grandparents names, threatening her to be behind her. After gettin each threat, my daughter sent him a warning and he came back with the other screennames. My daughter is terrified! After a policereport, we where advised by police to delete Aim off our computer. I would like you to help me get this sick person for good of AIM, that he cannot do this to anybody else. Thank you, *** ***

You know what I'd like to know? What kind of moron guy is stupid enough to actually think this is a real profile? Because it's a pretty pathetic attempt at harassment... Advice: at least make it believable.
Oh, and this next person I guess is upset that AOL is punishing them for not getting in a three way?
"Bif n bf 4 bif" told me that she was looking to find a girl for her and her boyfriend and ask me to be apart of it and i dont want her to talk to me like that and she rported it to you and i cont get in to a chat because i dont want her
The idiocy just goes on and on... Why the hell is this worth reporting? What's the complaint? They spelled "bitch" wrong the first time? I mean, because I have no idea exactly what this person expects AOL to do with this fragment... The next one as well, totally out of context... What do people expect will happen? A big "so what" from me...
i got an idea for ya .. .
if your hung as well as most on line seem to be..
and your big "idea" is??????

Eileenbongadu wrote me an email i didnt like. it say talk to your wife not us and sped more time with her for one thing i am not male i never was in the site she or he was talking about and i dont know this person so if u can deal with him or her i would appreciate it.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, fucking, wah. Seriously, if these people saw the sheer volume of hatemail and threats I've received over the last twelve years I'm pretty sure their heads would just explode Scanners-style. I don't think it's OK for people to be assholes, but I'd argue that there are probably a billion of them on the planet, so grow a spine and learn to shake them off.
