Lobsters Of Such
Today we shall talk of LOBSTERS...because...um...well, no particular reason of sorts, it just seems to be the thing to talk about today.
Now, most people know that lobsters are usually a greenish blackish mottled kind of color...*BUT*, in some rare instances lobsters can actually have *OTHER* colors. Such as nyah:
: Educational_-_Lobster_Colors_01.jpg
This is due to the fact that the lobsters shell color is comprised of pigment colors that are yellow, red and blue, and in ordinary circumstances there's a general, even mixing. But in some *VERY* rare cases that genetic mixing hooha doesn't go right and then, TADA! You get multicolored lobsters! Even stranger, the color isn't restricted to a single type and you can wind up with all sorts of various color anomalies, such as nyah:
: Educational_-_Lobster_Colors_02.jpg
That has primarily to do with the fact that genetically the shell color is broken up into segments, so if only some of those segment colorations go wrong then you'll wind up with a lobster that has multiple color partitions.
So in conclusion...lobsters is tasty.
*nods*
Doki, doki. Oh, and also, LOBSTER KNIFE FIGHT! Behold the awesomeness:
BEHOLD IT!
And last but not least, lobsters can be kyoot:
That is all.

Think I'm Gonna Start Sendin Off Bills
To all the major image search engine companies, most notably Yahoo, who is apparently taking liberties with my data archive:
I don't mind if people want to hot link to the thing and use the images on message boards and so forth, I really don't, but when a major corporate entity takes it upon themselves to populate their entire image search with hot links to *MY* stuff...yeah...that pisses me off. Especially when my traffic shoots up over 50% in three months as a result of it without any direct back tracking to my sites. I wouldn't care so much if I was actually making more money off of it via my ad banners, but I'm not. The only ones who are profiting off of it are Yahoo and other image search engines.
And the way I see it, it's only going to get worse. Less than 1% of the data archive is currently online, but that's still well over 3,000 files. And if only 1% causes a 50% jump in my already high web traffic...yeah...that's just gonna eat my server alive without any benefit to me at all.
I have thought about using it though as an opportunity to help spread my philosophies and such, basically by randomly replacing images with images of say goatse. On the one hand it teaches people the important lesson that you really can't control what you see online and, hopefully, wizens them up enough to get their idiot children off the grid. And on the other hand it'll sure make Yahoo and others think twice before they start ripping off my directory structures and serving my images up as if they're coming from them.
Just how bad is the problem getting for me? Watch this...
who cares
Go to Yahoo image search and search for "who cares" with no quotes. Oh, look at that, the very first link is from *MY* server. Want to see another? Try this:
bridget gay
Search for "bridget gay", again no quotes, oh look at that, again the FIRST link. *shakes head* This shit is gonna have to stop, even if I have to get nasty about it.

I Found Waldo!
Here he is folks, Waldo Jaquith!
Apparently Waldo Jaquith ENJOYS WEARING DIAPERS and PLAYING BABY as can easily be seen by this picture which is absolutely proof positive of his deranged and sordid lifestyle. Tsch, tsch, tsch...I'm afraid he won't get very far in politics with images like these leaking out to the press...well, okay, I guess it wouldn't have mattered much anyway, I mean it's not like the kid has much of anything going for him, amiright?
Perhaps he'll be so inclined to make a comment now that his DIAPER pictures have been released out onto the Internet. I mean, it's not like there's any denying it now, amiright? ^__^

Where's Waldo?
Uh oh, looks like Waldo ran away from the debate! Here's a partial quote from his malformed little blog: "Troll, begone!"
Yup, that was pretty much it. Well that and a long string of 5th grade level invectives that I guess he was hoping would "get back" at me or something...LOL. Of course, as usual, with these types of cowards, he's blocked me from posting on his blog. Now, true it wouldn't really take any effort at all on my part to fire up a proxy server and torment the little sophomoric name calling butter troll into a frothing frenzy, but then, I find it a lot more enjoyable to simply "post behind their back" so to speak. And honestly, it's what they wanted, so they shouldn't have any complaints at all about it. I'm fair enough to the point where I give morons a chance to defend their stupidity, but if they don't want to take it, well, that's on them.
And so, without further adieu, here's the post lil Waldo DOESN'T want you to see:
Uh huh, ya know if you're going to quote a link off Special ED, why not THIS one:
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Nigger
Uh oh...hypocrisy! And how. *nods* I think it's cute though, how kids like yourself scream troll whenever you get hammered real good in a debate, because when you get right down to it...you ~really~ have no idea at all what a "troll" even is (or the art of UPA and IPA as most of us oldbies prefer to call it). Here, let me give a free cl00, Sparkles...if I was trolling you...you wouldn't know it. And I'd likely be your best friend to boot. LOL
Don't feel too bad though, if I was in your position, after having said so many incredibly stupid things regarding Flash...yeah I'd probably run away and scream troll too. Don't worry, no one was actually expecting you to attempt to counter any of my arguments...I mean, because you *CAN'T* and all. Just remember, I didn't make reality...I just verbally bitch slapped you with it. ^__^

Blast From The Past
So, here lately I've been attempting to clean up the horrid fucking disaster that is my data archive, with...some progress. One of the things I've been doing and have needed to do for some time is go through old bookmarks and screen cap the data before it's lost forever in a sea of virtual nothingness. If there's one thing I've learned online it's that things NEVER last, so get while the gettings good I say.
Anyway, I came across this lil gem in my efforts from 2K6:
http://www.bookofjoe.com/2006/04/onideus_mad_hat.html
In which Joe and his lowly band of virtual ass slurpers decide to try and take on dat mean 'ol Mad Hatter! You get three guesses how *THAT* turned out, and no, the first two don't count.
Sho'nuff, when the heat got put on lil Joe and his friends, including a particularly mouthy little ass hat named Waldo Jaquith...yup, they started censoring out my posts and then finally just blocked me from posting altogether, but then...can you blame them? I mean, here you have a guy like Joe who has been running all over the grid trying his absolute best to pass himself off as some kind of a web developer and then along comes the proverbial bad ass of web coding himself and just slams the fuck out of the guy...yeah...running away was pretty much his only option.
The reason I brought this old post up though wasn't just to rag an lil Joe and his butt slurping friend Waldo...although granted I am enjoying that part of it. No, the primary reason I bring it up is because it gives me a good chance to go over some of the COMMON MYTHS about Flash. Now, where shall we start with this...how about this comment from Waldo Jaquith (who claims to be a web developer):
"You can't print it, you can't style it, you can't make it accessible and when used as this joker uses it, you can't link to individual pages."
Now, I think Waldo is a real good representation of what I call "college flunkies". See Waldo probably went to some hoity toity, over priced, rich kids college and got some sort of poser class degree in web development or some shit. Nice and all, but there's a ~real~ problem when flunkies like Waldo get out in the real world...they have no skills. Or rather, the only skills they have are what they learned in college and once that spoon fed education stopped, so did their future. The world of web design is one in which things are in CONSTANT motion. And if you can't keep on the ball, if you can't continually learn ON YOUR OWN new technologies and forms...yeah...yer just a college flunkie, plain and simple.
The fact of the matter is Waldo's comments would have actually made some sense...in the mid 90s. Unfortunately for Waldo Flash has grown leaps and bounds since then and is currently the absolute best front end available for web design...provided you know how to use it. Now I'll be the first to admit that there are a *WHOLE* lot of people running around using Flash who have no fucking clue at all as to what they're even doing, but keep this simple rule in mind...just because *YOU* can't do it...doesn't mean it's not possible. In other words never use your own limitations as the basis of measuring a technologies worth.
Let's start with that first one...
"can't style it"...
/_test_platform/Forum_Template/
Huh, look at that. Yup, you sure can style it! With CSS, XML or pretty much anything else you like for that matter.
Let's look at this one now:
"you can't link to individual pages"
Oh really...
/index.php?loc=our
/index.php?loc=video
/index.php?loc=graphics
LOL, so simple...well, for me anyway, not so much for an amateur I suppose. ^__^
Next up:
"You can't print it"
Ouch! Boy that one *REALLY* shows how out of date this Waldo guy is. I mean, hells bells, Flash has had print support since VERSION FOUR:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/128/tn_12838.html
*snicker*
Very nice too since the developer gets to control what can and can't be printed by the end user. Of course keep in mind that, that's only going to stop the kiddies like Waldo, experts like me can of course print screen content, or, my favorite, decompile the SWF files and rip the content out directly!
Well, I think this post is long enough for now. If anyone comes up with some new ideas about what they think Flash can't do be sure and fire up a comment and I'll set ya straight. Again though, never ASSume that something can't be done just because *YOU* can't do it or because you've never seen anyone else do it. Your own ignorance does not a good comparison make.
