HAPPY 4th OF JULY! America! Fuck Yeah! For those of you joining that aren't Murcun, The United States of America is now 232 years old. Hot Dogs and Hamburgers beware.

Anyhow,  I'm currently writing a novel, and it's hard to decide wether to update this site, or write the novel. I love writing, but I can only tap out so many lines in a day before I've got to get up and stretch my brain out. Anyhow, I love looking around the internet and finding cool stuff and sharing it. I also need more content for the pocasts I'm about to start doing again. Just FYI, I've had a podcast feed for quite some time now, for those who've joined in the last month or so. I have apparently garnered over 21000 suscribers, so  I decided to start doing them again. You can find the feed here , and the streaming pods here .

 Aside from that I'll get down to the nitty gritty.

 Secret Server room in the ladies room - Wow. I've had some bad server rooms before, but this is bad :  My buddy gave this to me at work. I love the fact that there is no way into it excet through the handica stall in the ladies room. Then they have a stupid little sign that says closed. I can just see some horrible scenario where a server goes down, some poor technician bursts through the door in a panic and some girls sitting on the throne terrified for her life.

The Website is down - Sales guy vs. Web Guy : For anyone who has done support this is a must watch. I actually laughed until I cried. Althought I do that a lot. Some times I just cry.......

 Soungle - A sound byte search engine : This ought to be useful for anyone creating and or mixing sound. An online repository of sound bytes can be fun for all occasions. For instance I just drove my parents cat crazy by playing all the cat screeching sounds...

 The Pirate Bay sues anti-piracy agencies - Awesome : I hope they win. I vowed to stop ranting about the RIAA and MPAA and the such, but this is an interesting turn of events. I personally think that all digital information should be free.

Mikogo - Free online screen sharing : I have not tested it yet, but you can guarantee I wll. It's bound through Softpedia, which means it's been checked for spyware and is safe. It's only for Windows, but looks pretty neato keen. Czech it out if you get a chance.

Microsocopic Art - Willard Wigan's art on the head of a pin : I had an entry about this on the old site, a very long time ago, but it still never ceases to amaze every time I see it.

Podington Bear - An iteresting site where this guy is creating and realeasing songs for free : I found this 0n Fridays Rocketboom. So far there are 150 of them available on the site, in the player directly to the right. They are pretty cool, and some I really like, some eh,  but such is the way with all music and musicians right? Anyhow, check it out. I had fun just cyclin through all of them. 

I Fucking hate AT&T.

So as you may or may not have noticed, the site has been down for nearly exactly three months now. It was due to AT&T stripping me of my static IP's for no discernable reason whatsoever. I've paid my bill on time for five years now, and never really had an issue, except every now and then they force a refresh of their 'sticky' IP's. Then one day, three months ago the server became unresponsive. As I am a sysadmin 7 days a week, I find it hard to even touch a computer when I get home. After about two months, (and a sidelong comment from my brother, who's site I host on this server as well), I decided to take a look. It turned out not to be the horrid curse this server has with disks, as the machine was just hummin along.

Anyhow, I determined that the douchebags at AT&T without notice, reason or provocation just took my IP's and left me one front end IP that fluctuated between x.x.x.118 and x.x.x.119.  The web server,  and the only one in use, was x.x.x.116. Now I payed nearly $70 a month for that block of 5 'sticky' IPs. I can see now why they're sticky......

Moving swiftly onward, I decided that since AT&T had fucked me over twice in the past, one severely that I almost lost my job over (My own idiotic fault unlike this time) I was going to do something about it. It was their unwillingness to work with me about the payments putting me in a position to pay off a nearly $4000 phone bill immediately, that originally harvested this animosity for AT&T. I was 25 at the time, and a bailbondsman. I didn't have that kind of cash just laying around to blow on a phone bill. Needless to say after that I held some venemous thoughts towards them.

Then the AT&T cell phone I had at the time stopped working (because I left it in a puddle of beer on a bartop). They refused to replace it, and I had to pay $200 to terminate their contract because they wouldn't replace my phone, even with the cheapest model. These days if you drop your phone into a pile of vomit, stew it around with a stick, piss on it, then jump up and down on it, the insurance will replace it with the newest model.

Then five years ago I signed up for SBC Yahoo DSL, and got it for a pretty good deal. Then got a static IP package that was pretty cheap. Then AT&T bought them, and the rest is history.

Goddamn motherfucking bastards.

To sum it up, I didn't even bother to call them. i just switched providers, and got the line up today. WeBeGeeky is back from the dead for the fifth time BOO YA bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As well, Webegeeky's 3rd anniversary is coming up in August.  I'll have something special planned.

OH OH OH, Also I got the old site working tip top. All the articles, the old forum, and everything are up and running again, so if you want to use that site, have at it. The link is on the left, or click here.
