Sad, in a pathetic kind of way

Both Lauren and I got this in our email today:

Hello user of Liquidillusions.net e-mail server,

Cheers,
The Liquidillusions.net team

Now, since I OWN liquidillusions.net, I think it’s pretty safe to say that I’m not cutting off my own email account because I’ve been naughty. This is pretty similar to what [H]ardOCP was getting this week. (link). This is really a pretty sad and pathetic move by lame-ass virus script kiddies. They’re banking on the small 1% of the population that doesn’t have contact with their mail provider. Seriously, how many folks out there that own their own domain names are getting these? You can’t honestly tell me that people are saying to themselves “gee, I don’t remember shutting off my own email, I’d better open up the attachment and see why.” This is really aimed at those poor folks who get mail through random bulletin board, fan sites, game sites, that sort of thing. Some place they might not be technically involved with. I would like to think that in most large office settings people would at least pick up the phone and ask the IT department what’s up. I would really like to think that. But I personally know a few people who, even if Norton AV tells them it’s infected, will open questionable email just because they’re curious or want to be sure.

Oi. What a sad world we live in where a man’s own domain is trying to shut him down. Sad, sad world.

Plah.

It’s 12:20am here in Texas. I can’t sleep. I’ve taken two Tylenol PMs because I hate taking sleeping pills. They make me drowsy and grumpy the next day. Tylenol just get’s rid of headaches for me. Anyway, I’m just rambling on. There really isn’t much going on. Work has been pretty steady lately. Lots of pageant headshots and that sort of thing. There’s about 100 girls in the Miss Houston pageant and we’re expecting 40 or so of them to get their picture taken with us. We’ve also had some free time towards the end of the work day, as I’ve mentioned before, to play a bit of Desert Combat. I’ve even found a clan I can play with down here. I’m thinking about joining the Texas Combat Crew if they’ll have me. The server is here in Houston and they’re in at least one major tournament a month. These guys really hold their own and are extremely highly ranked in nation ladders. 6th in the country I believe. At least acording to SquadGames.

Wheee…

I think the Tylenol is kicking in. I’m getting tired. It’s probably a good time to go back to sleep.

Lastly. Is anyone else excited about Moveable Type 3.0?It’s going to have comment registrations… isn’t that cool! Now you can all have an account and I won’t have to worry about comment spam anymore. Sweet.

Which reminds me… if I just banned your ass, as I did to someone a few minutes ago… you can go strait to the fires below. You IP is banned, you domain is banned, hell, even the content you were trying to drivel on about has been banned. Your ass is mine. And if I see it again… your ISP is getting a call. I’m done messing with you little shits. You may slip one by my filters here and there but it’s only a small victory until I check my email, get the notice and fire up BlackList.

Yeah baby. The drugs are definatly working. Aren’t posts like this fantastic? It’s completely incoherent. Huzah.

That’s it. I’m going to bed before I butcher the english launguage any further.

Night night.

A Whirled of Hurt

That title has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

I just thought it was clever.

Or you could associate it was my recent Desert Combat playing. Paul and I have been playing a bit lately and we’ve gotten quite good. His specialty in flying the helicopters (namely the Apache and Blackhawk) and my specialty in blowing the crap out of stuff. Don’t mess with me and my .50cal, period. There’s also DC Extended, which adds a bit of extra fun to an already perfect game.

There’s really not all that much to mention. Last week we met Scott and Michelle for dinner and then Scott came over and we played ESPN NHL for a little bit while the girls went shopping for a friends wedding present. We also had Brandon and Jennifer over yesterday for lunch and got to hang out for a little while. They’re both nice couples and should at least give us some folks to hang out with from time to time. Lauren also made a killer meatloaf with cheese sause it was awesome. So much so that I had it for today at lunch as leftovers.

I got my haircut today too. Whoopie.

Seriously, I’ll let you know when something super cool happens. Otherwise these posts just seem rather borring.

There is an OBI thing to mention, but I’m not sure it’s ready for public consumption. I’ll let you know when it is.
