Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 06, 2006 6:00pm PSTI finally joined the rest of the world today by getting a 400 gig drive for my home machine. Before that I'd been using a 120gig drive for quite a while which kinda runs out of space quickly if you do much of anything (BigBouncyBoobiesShack)

Demon's Souls servers extended again
11:29:50 PM: I was working today, and Rent is in town. during intermission, someone comes up to me and says, "This guy in the second row - about seat 20 - is filming the entire show." I'm like wow holy shit what a cock. so I get my 'assistant house manager' and say, "Do you think we should bust him now? We have a seat and the patron said he was wearing a jean jacket." "If we say anything now, he can just deny it and we can't do anything. We need to wait until he uses it." I say, "What if we get the patron to pinpoint him for sure and we move before intermission ends?" "Yeah that'll work." so I find this guy who tipped me off, I walk back with him to his seat, and he points the guy out to me. I go back out, move into the fucker's row, and say, "We know you're filming the show. I'm going to have to confiscate your camera." he's all. "Uhh...OK here it is." and pulls it out of his jacket.
11:31:50 PM: so I take the camera back outside and the show is starting. my 'boss,' Brian says, "Let's see if we can find what he was filming so he can't deny it later." so he turns it on, and when he presses the menu button, the first thing that comes up is home made ameteur gay porn. no joke. the first picture we see is the guy who owns the camera sucking the dick of the dude who was with him seeing Rent. me and another person see this and we simultaneously go "Holy shit." we keep going and there are at least a dozen shots of them doing it, sucking cock, kissing, and having butt sex
11:32:11 PM: it was a digital camera btw
11:33:15 PM: I was laughing so hard I was shaking
11:33:20 PM: I had to sit down
TL;DR Took camera from guy filming show, watched video to have proof of recording show, found homemade gay porn

I suspect it's time to do something about that, and let someone else have a crack at those awards. We're getting tired of owning it, year after year.

But, before I go in, I want to make an official protest regarding the Mani Server Admin Mod that was installed.
That is by far the most insipid addition to a counter-strike server since counter-strike players themselves. That mod has so much superfluous shit in it that doesn't do anything except spam up the game.
NOW PLAYING: COUNTER-STRIKE
MANIS MOD VERSION 2

Please nuke that shit off the server themelon, and put back the old admin mod that wasn't some form of experimental AI from an MIT doctoral dissertation.

Like electronic and indie music? Can't find that one special album you've asked about three thousand times in the local record store? Chances are it's available at
www.bleep.com
Every song is in mp3 format, encoded at a minimum of 192kpbs with LAME. I bought the new Prefuse 73 album there just now for $10, it's encoded at 320kps. I noticed that they've started offering albums in the lossless FLAC format (for a few $ extra, the files are huge). When you buy an album, you can either download each song individually or a whole album as a zipped archive. You can only download an archive or each song once, it's removed from your Downloads section upon successful download (so that if a download fails, you're still fine).
This is really the best way to buy albums, IMO. I don't need a CD and an album cover (I just rip them immediately anyway) and the quality of the songs is great. It's pretty cheap too (especially for me and my countrymen, since albums are usually $40 out of a store).
So stop whining that iTunes has a monopoly! This is the perfect online music store format, even though their selection isn't as expansive.

ATTN: SHACK TECH-JOB HAVING MENZ
I recently graduated with my BS in Computer Science, and I'm in the middle of job hunting. Nothing too great yet, but I've noticed on a couple interviews, some employers would like candidates to take an "aptitude test." Which I take to mean, basically an I.Q. test of some kind. Nothing really computer related on the tests... basically, it's stuff like "If Tom his taller than Joe, and Joe is shorter than Tammy, which of the following is true?:"
Anyway... Is this NORMAL for the tech industry? Not to sound too pretentious... but I'm kind of, I dunno, insulted by this sort of thing. Does meeting me in person, and discussing the JOB just not cut it anymore? Suddenly, I have to have my "intelligence" questioned and scrutinized?
Shack thoughts?

You know, I had never heard the song before, but now twice in the past week--once while sitting in the car on the way to the bar with friends and just now sitting here at work working on the radio--the "emo song" from that video (now on Googlevideo) has come on and I have had to burst out laughing twice at "sniffing the ink" and "lonely dark cock that's cocking and pulling."
Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal is being touted as Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent in the next Batman sequel, along with Paul Bettany, who may play the Joker. Gyllenhaal would play Gotham City's good-guy lawyer, who mutates into his alter-ego, Two-Face, in the third film. In the sequel, Batman would team with Harvey Dent to destroy the Joker, according to moviehole.net. Tommy Lee Jones formerly played Dent/Two-Face on the big screen in Batman & Robin. Star Christian Bale is set to return, as well as Michael Caine as butler Alfred.
If they do it right...it shall be the best batman movie of all time!

Good god kids grow up fast now - that little girl can't be more than 17.... it's frightening.
I mean the tits are nice and the body is good (I prefer shape but I know that one is right up most of your alleys) - the choice of clothing isn't bad and what's fucked up is the atttitude the whole flashing stripping, ripping at the g-string thing.
I'm convinced the internet, television (mtv specifically) and music is well it's good in some ways but god it's bad for society in other ways. - I see girls waving their shit around at like 14 nowadays at malls and stuff - and over 1/3 of them actually have some decent stuff to wave round - must be the hormones in the chicken.
Alright I'm rambling like cliff yablonski now but jeez wtf...

I will stick with this riding to work thing damnit - fuck public transport.
There is nothing worse than being a part of the ADD generation with little to no patience and missing a tram or train by 1 minute and having to wait 10 to 15 minutes.
That 10 to 15 minutes feels like 10 to 15 years.
Then there's the Commonwealth games in Melbourne in about 3 weeks, lasting for 2 or 3 weeks (iirc?) that's going to make public transport a nightmare let alone my theory that if any explosives are to go off on PT in Melbourne then would be the time to do it]s
Gotta say though, riding in the wet blows goats.
