Just another pointless weblog

Pot, kettle, black?
Also, “a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows”?
What. The. Hell.
What the hell was Robert E. Lee thinking?
After Lee surrendered to Henrico Police, investigators discovered the Sears manager had created a makeshift masturbatorium from a service platform just above the ladies’ dressing rooms.
It appeared to investigators that the prefab peeping hutch had been in use for quite some time, the victim’s lawsuit alleges, and that Lee admitted to watching the girl and her mother trying on bathing suits.
“During the search of the room, police officials recovered sexually explicit magazines and seminal fluids,” the suit says.
While I think the damages the plaintiffs are seeking are somewhat excessive, Robert E. Lee shouldn’t be allowed to work at a clothing store ever again.
Down with DRM, long live amazon.com and other DRM-free music retailers.
Apparently, being the site for officially-released music tends to get you noticed by a few people who may not want you to succeed, with rather unfortunate (for the site’s owner) results. With all the blatant infringement that (apparently) occurred on OiNK, I have to wonder what took so long.
Some idiot and possible Microsoft shill set up a website at whyfirefoxisblocked.com (WARNING 509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded) explaining that he had to block popular open-source web browser Mozilla Firefox because of the popular Adblock extension, and gave some horribly misleading and incorrect legal reasons that adblock is illegal. I believe that, while a webmaster is certainly welcome to block users that he/she believes are blocking ads, such a measure is counterproductive due to the backlash that might occur and the ease with which a user can work around such a measure. In addition, any site that does this sort of thing probably believes that content is what you put between all the ads.
On or slightly before April 2nd (which is after the beta for Feisty and almost 2 months after the feature freeze for Feisty), Ubuntu updated the SATA and IDE drivers in the kernel to the new experimental libata drivers. For users who had switched their fstab back to mounting by /dev from mounting UUID, this completely broke things, which was annoying, but OK. April 12th, the day of the scheduled Release Candidate, many people’s computers stopped booting because of libata breakage, and as of right now, over 2 days and 3 kernel builds later, some still are having boot issues. This late switch is unacceptable and should have been left until Gutsy Gibbon. If I were still on Edgy, I’d stay away from Feisty for as long as possible, as I predict future breakage of this magnitude.

After all the crap they’ve been through with power, now there’s this? Well, hopefully it’ll only be a few hours. However, with their datacenter’s history of power issues, this could easily be days.
Please stop clogging my comments with your shit, it’s annoying and pointless.
Today, I went to the mailbox to check the mail, and there was something in it from Domain Registry of America (I refuse to publicize these assholes, so if you care to look at their website, I suggest that you use your favorite search engine to look it up). I opened it, and there was a notice that sent me a notification of the “domain name registration that is about to expire” and that “Your registration for: ameyer17.com will expire on May 22, 2007″ and “You must renew your domain name to retain exclusive rights to it on the Web”.
All this misleading language is an attempt by these assholes to FUD me into transferring my domain to them and renew it for $30 for 1 year, $50 for 2 years, or $95 for 5 years. I refuse to deal with these assholes and I suggest that nobody else does business with them
This blog post sums up my feelings.
