The Wall of Flame

All the crazy stuff people have said about me

"Personally I've always felt that people who know things like that are quite dangerous."
"It is obvious that your sense of order demands clear and logical thought and action. You believe that things must be defined. That communication ought to be concise and precise. You believe that discussion can achieve concensus. I get the impression you are a clean living optimist and a small 'c' conservative. And I admire you for it.

Some here really have discriminated against you and I'm glad to see you standing your ground. Because whether I agree with you or not, I'd much rather listen to someone who is sure of themselves. Oh wait, you said that."
"my guess is he'll be spoutin again as soo as rush limbaugh gives him a few more ideas"
"right wing fanatics rule go rush"
"rush limbaugh for president lmbodisco "
"Okay, you *asked* for that, waving the red Ashcroft flag"
"wow, I thought ashcroft supporters hung out with santa, the tooth fairy and Iraq's WMD"
"Of course conservatives think.

They think how can we stay rich and continue to do nothing but leach of the hard working majority of the world.

They think lets throe the liberals a bone and give them a rehabilitation centre for young offenders who have been locked up and lack the social skills to go straight. Just not-in-my-back-yard."
"I cannot help but regard your referring me to Fox News as a sneer and a deliberate, calculated insult. I would trust Fox News no further on *any* subject, than I could throw an elephant!"
"Ahh, that feels nice. I'll go watch some Fox News now. Maybe some talk radio so I don't even have to form any independant opinions."
"so you dont believe in evolution then are you a member of the flat earth society as well"
"Wow, Nerd42, you seem to be having several episodes of self-gratification today!

Good for you.

Everybody needs a little release."
"I am very sorry for you if you lack the basic education or the mental capacity to understand evolutionary science but I think it is more a case of the pigheaded ignorance of the facts that you have displayed on this and other threads that stands between you and enlightenment. Although the first instance is a sad one atleast the second bears the hope that you will one day wake up and smell the coffee. I am a big fat liar. I said that I was going to stop describing you in negative ways because it was rude and unecessary. The truth is that I just cant find the words that are adequate for your level of stupidity and bigotry."
"I'm also rather depressed that you still think skin colour doesn't matter, true it shouldnt but if you look at the real world and not the Fox approved version of reality you might just begin to see how very wrong you are."
"HU is of course correct when he states that the US is corrupt and dangerous. Actually, I would say very corrupt and extremely dangerous. To deny this would be to proclaim your ignorance of historical facts and current political SOP."
Aww, poor Patriot has been cursed at. Are you going to be ok?

You can bet my cousin, whos is serving in Iraq right now would curse at you too for your unquestionable alligence to the president who through misinformation and downright lies, sent him there.

I think people probably cursed at you out of frustration. I've been there, almost. It seems to frustrate people very much when they have to deal with individuals who cannot see the corruption in this administration, when it staers them in the face. Almost daily, there are new allegations of corruption, lies, shady deals etc., pretty much an endless supply. I'm not saying they're all true, but just the fact that there are some many of them should make a wiseman suspicous.

"And then to defend this administration in the name of patriotism is so hyocritical it almost makes me want to curse as well."
"I will continue to wholeheartedly support and join in with anyone who abuses, insults, humiliates, embarrasses, and yes, threatens this dude. I don't care anymore. You people simply do not know who and what you are dealing with."
""What's that I hear you you say? No, I haven't finished picking on the Nerd. It's like my morning coffee."

i feel like killing something
Oct 15, 2007

http://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp

That page is a pack of lies and misrepresentations.

I wrote a totally awesome opinion piece about it for my new blog

http://stealingfromthedrawer.blogspot.com/

But right in the middle of a word, this huge section of like several pages of text was deleted somehow. AND IT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO SCREWM AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THE COMPUTER I'M USING RIGHT NOW AARGH !!!!!!!!grr grr grr grr grr grr grr grr

and that's after spending 20 minutes trying to figure out why it was typing in Hindi script.

i think i might need to move away from blogger and go somewhere else.

i can't use this h2g2 journal for some of the things I'm wanting to say partially because it's a UK-based site and partially because I don't want to worry about whether the things I'm saying there are contrary to the (usually good) h2g2 House Rules ... so I dunno maybe I should move to WordPress or somewhere else ... I haven't decided yet.

weird day in the life of a junior technician
Sep 11, 2007

So we get in these used Dell computers and I can't figure out how to open the darn things. Instead of blundering blindly ahead and breaking the plastic however, I turned to Google. Sitting there, I couldn't believe I was asking for help on how to open something that's right next to me from somewhere across the world. This is what I found:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ban_gx1/rrsff1.htm

I have never seen a computer case that opens like that before. It's an ingenious design however. I'm becoming more and more impressed with Dell. Even though I personally custom-build, I think I'm going to be recommending Dell to people who ask me for two reasons:

1. Their hardware works and has a somewhat decent track record, unlike HP.
2. Their stuff is built to work with anybody else's stuff - a win-win for both Dell and the consumer.
3. They were smart enough to put instructions for stupid people like me to figure out how to open their ingeniously designed new cases.

whoah ... haven't been here in 4 ever
Sep 10, 2007

I've been stuck on this really primitive planet for a long time where the government arbitrarily chooses which students should get free college and which don't on the most absurd criteria and the Internal Revenue Service telephone answerers expect people to "hold for up to 48 hours".

Worst of all, I've lost my towel. This does not look good for Nerd42.

I have NO time at this point in my life to devote to h2g2. I mean, I've been acting that way for a long time now but I think it's time now that I admitted it.

This means I won't be able to run my RPG club at all. cry I haven't abandoned the multiverse it's set in - I'm just having to abandon the online play for now. I'm still working on the novel. (which no one has seen at all, so of course nobody cares) I think that the h2g2 implementation of the Silver Sword multiverse has been very successful in accomplishing some of the goals I set for it when it began. It helped me figure out which kinds of parties work best, helped me think about how the various types of characters would react to one another and forced me to develop a system where I could plan out campaigns in which I could insert any characters I wanted to and also take them out at any time I needed to while still preserving some sense of story. (The story never got finished, but anyway ...)

Someday I'd like to code my own custom-built web site for hosting Silver Sword RPG games but I've got to finish college so I can make the money and get the 1337 skillz first. But basically, whether or not it resurfaces elsewhere someday, the Silver Sword Universe is no longer going to be on h2g2. I'll leave what we've done with it up for archival purposes but I am having to abandon all my plans to expand it.

I've also quit Uncyclopedia recently because of my dis-satisfaction with the direction their humor has been going. (Straight down into the gutter) That site would really benefit from having some rules against obscene content like h2g2 has. (Or used to have, back when I spent alot of time hanging out here - I don't know what it's like now)

In late 2006, I helped to found a new kind of wiki called Illogicopedia for people to post nonsense to. Unlike Uncyclopedia which aims for what some disturbed individuals consider "funny", Illogicopedia has no requirement for it's content to be funny - it just has to be nonsensical. (and relatively clean) "Good" submissions are articles that people consider "interesting to look at and possibly even read". http://illogicopedia.wikia.com/

I barely have any time to devote to that either. (LOL)

Another crazy crazy project I've been involved in is learning how to remix music. I made a mixtape that dropped in April 2007. http://music.wikia.com/wiki/COOLdISC_aFTERmATH

So basically I've been keepin busy, working and studying but have also used all my spare time in creative projects that also teach me about things, but most of it hasn't been online, or it's been where I don't have to concentrate really hard on it - handling this h2g2 stuff takes too much concentration.

So I'm not going to be able to contribute really all that much to h2g2 anymore. sorry Now and then I might log in, check what's going on, maybe post, but I can't be "responsible" for things like my RPG club anymore.

I would like to thank the BBC and everybody behind h2g2 for providing the hosting for my RPG club all this time AND for allowing people all over the world (even in the dreaded .... USA!) to be a part of the site even though they aren't even remotely British. smiley

Basically I'm still around, just not around as much. dontpanic

another update to my personal space
Aug 2, 2006

headhurts I just don't care anymore. I used to have this article A5971403 that just had my logo, so that my logo wouldn't have to load every time I bring up my personal space, but it's just not worth keeping track of two different pages. I have so much stuff I want to put on my space that it's a pain if I ever want to update it because I have to wade through all the junk ... how have you dealt with this, <VIEWER/>? Besides going for the minimalist look?

groan I shudder to think what my page might look like in the other two skins ... but I have to go check now. run
