Meta-blogging is a term of my own invention about bloggers who blog about blogging (which, unless you are a moron, I bet you could have figured out yourself). I developed an aversion to meta-blogging, and its kissing cousin pro-blogging, out of a disdain for the types of blogs which are written centered around the idea that the object of blogging is to (a) attract readers and (b) create revenue. Certainly, it would be wrong of me to suggest that no one should blog for profit, to wit, pro-blogging; however, I can find nothing less interesting in than bloggers talking to other bloggers about the best way to snare readers and the best way to place ads or exploit patronage. That is my personal opinion on the matter. I have drawn criticism on places like stumbleupon for thumbing down meta- and pro-blogging related sites and articles. Incidentally, I've also been called everything from a fascist to a liberal to a racist and everything else, and I suppose I deserve it, since I am opinio...

The piece of tooth fell out after game 1, where I after who knows how many agonizing moves finally checkmated my roommate(*). On Halloween. I was literally on the third pack of Smarties when I felt something weird. "Hm.." I thought to myself, "The factory must have fucked up, because one of these Smarties has a crunchy part." I pulled the candy and everything else out of my mouth, and looked at the offending chunk of hardness. That's right around the same time my tongue found the gaping hole in the interior side of one of my right molars. Oops. My roommate went to bed, but I'm loosing as white: I have her queen, one rook, one bishop, one knight and two pawns but she has my queen, one rook, one knight and four pawns, and a positional advantage. The point is, (1) Happy Halloween and (2) brush AND FLOSS..

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad is not Adolf Hitler. He is not anything like Hitler. Shut your war mongering fascist pie-hole, Norm.

Have you joined " 1 million Strong for Steven T Colbert "? Well, have you? If the election were held today, Steven Colbert would be President-elect tomorrow. Easily, handily.

Yes, let's call this one ten. Nine needs a rewrite anyway. I just spent 24 of the last 48 hours racking and stacking since one of my hosting companies decided they needed to move me. I'm venting toward the middle of the room since I'm pretty sure that they are 4+1 CR/AC units short of what they will need if they fill their room up with servers (not to mention the power, but that's another issue -- I have three extra 20amp circuits for an insanely cheap $150/mo, so I'm good to go and fuck everyone else, haw haw). Also, 80amps per cabinet is twice as much as the hosting company upstairs lets me get away with, although, as I said before, the lack of air condition and UPS may just bite me later -- nothing too important down there though. So, here's how you know you have been working too long on racking and stacking: when, at 5am, you drop a 1u grid machine (don't worry, the thing had a value in today's dollars of probably $350, but it cost $1700 back in 2005...

A moment of levity.. Fuck it, I'm voting for Colbert..

Congratulations to the Cleveland Indians!
