THIS PHONE IS TAPPED
The wall next to the computer is currently a collage of various new function references.

CONTRIBUTOR SHIRT/BACK
It looks good, but I think they messed up the resolution when they printed it, so the text is a lot smaller than I'd hoped.

CONTRIBUTOR SHIRT/FRONT
I really like this shirt… (Ryan is annoyed because some of our best designs are the giveaways!)

MY HELPER
Well, how about my distraction? You're looking at the single largest detrimental factor in getting my work done.

BMEGIRL6
It looks good right? BMEshop has strict quality control, and we rejected it (don't worry, it's being reprinted, it's just a week or two delay).

HERE'S WHY
These were the problems with the screen; only minor stuff, but we don't sell crap. That's why you don't see any of these $6 barbells and $2 rings on BMEshop.

MYSTERY PACKAGE
I love getting surprises! This was from Cian in Ireland (I'm sorry, I've lost the link to his IAM page, but thank you!).

UH OH!
It's Oktoberfestbier. Don't blame me if the new IAM software is a bit funny.

The latest crap

Monday, February 4, 2002

Here's a story typical of the shit I have to deal with every day. Early last year, this guy sent me pictures of a girl with nipple stretchers — he claimed to be the photographer. Anyway, he got — and used — his membership, but then a little while later I got a message from someone at the same email address as him, freaking out.

They told me that the photos were sent without permission and that if I wanted to avoid getting sued I'd have to remove them immediately. They were of course removed, and I assumed that the story was done with.

Well, a few days ago I got another email from the guy telling me some porn site had stolen the pictures, gave me the address, and asked me what I was going to do about it. I told him there wasn't really anything that I could do about it, but recommended that he stop them legally if it concerned him (and I gave him their whois information).

Then I get a series of angrier and angrier messages blaming me, and now threatening me with a lawsuit if I don't stop them. I tried to explain to the guy that because he'd illegally sent me photos, and I had no legal claim to the photos (and was no longer even using them on the site), I didn't have any legal authority to go after this company, but he didn't seem to get it.

I'm working, so no text…
Don't look at the third picture if you like mice.

Bored

Saturday, February 2, 2002

I'm bored (and hungry), and when I'm bored I think about shirts to do… I'm not saying any of these will be done (althought the new guess where shirt was by request), but maybe.

Oh, since it seems to be causing a little confusion — if you have reviewed 1000 experiences, you don't get just the shirt for 1000 experiences. You get the 500 and the 1000 — it's cumulative.

TT

Friday, February 1, 2002

Up until two days ago I was getting annoyed that I'd spent all that money on a set of Pirelli snow racing tires… thankfully it finally snowed so the investment is paying off. I've been getting plenty of glares from people in their little trucks that can barely get through the side streets. They don't seem too happy to see this little four-wheel-drive sportscar zipping around them.

There is one big risk though still (outside of getting smashed into by some idiot) — streetcar tracks. The TT is pretty much exactly the same width as the tracks, and the tracks are the one point where you get no traction (since it's just smooth metal). You tend to find yourself sliding down them.

I haven't got time to do a newsblurb today, but let me recommend again that people read AntiWar. Keep up on it. As far as I can tell, America is moving towards an all-out us-or-them scenario with the entire planet; not just the Muslim part. It's on the edge of war with much of Asia, and the EU is beginning to object strenuously to its actions. I just can't believe the American public is allowing it to happen — start with the following assumptions:

  1. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme. In this type of system, rich people by definition must live by stealing from the poor.
  2. The government is made up of, and put in power by, extremely wealthy defense contractors and oil barons.

That means one very frightening — and, looking at current events — obvious conclusion:
It is in the best interests of the US government to cause both domestic and international poverty to increase.

This isn't conspiracy theory stuff. This is all in the mainstream news.

Look it up if you don't believe me.
