I’ve got nothing. All the things that piss me off enough to want to stab someone I’ve already posted about, or you don’t really want to hear, or both. So you’re going to have to wait longer.
So recently Dave and Busters posted a message via twitter stating: “From our restaurant to the midway to billiards and bowling, we have something for everyone! What’s your favorite part of Dave & Buster’s?”
I, being the smartass I am, replied: “@DaveandBusters The stale urine smell in the mens room..that’s there EVERYTIME I visit. Which is a lot less these days…I wonder why…”
This was a reference to my Dave and Busters review I wrote a bit ago: “Dave & Busters – Review (It’s like Hitler)”
Well guess what they did… Read more…
I had a vacation (Screw you, I get to take those sometimes), and also some dental work done. Our regularly scheduled program will resume shortly. Please stand by.
Hey, No post because I have started a failed attempt at being proven wrong: www.hahahathud.com (Project iWrong)
Alright, it’s been a month since I started my contested (http://www.joelthegreat.com/?p=641) to give away a copy of Half Life 2. I received 14 entries, 11 of them being eligible, of the 25 that was required. So I’m canceling the contest. Sorry to everyone who entered. At the rate it was going, I’d be able to give it away probably in 2011.
Just a friendly reminder! Only a few days left in the Half Life 2 Contest!! Please make sure to comment in the Contest post located here: http://www.joelthegreat.com/?p=641
Good luck!
Many Years ago I bought Half-Life 2 when it came out. Then some years passed and I bought the Orange Box during a sale, which also came with a copy of Half-Life 2. So here I am years later, and I still have 1 (one) copy of Half-Life 2 that I can give away as a ‘gift.’ *(If you do not know what Half-Life 2 is, please see the bottom of this page)*
I thought of selling it, or trying to trade it, but I though it’d be better to give it away. And what’s the best way to get rid of crap stuff you don’t want? A CONTEST! Read more…
Well, I just remembered my stupid site went from a simple static page to a WordPress Blog in September of 2008, last year! It’s been over a year! Go site! So yeah, happy belated b-day to my blog and what not. I’ve had over 15,000 unique visitors and such since it’s launch, which isn’t to shabby.
On other site news:
Server is still being hit by spammers/proxy attempts. Less frequently than before, but still annoying.
I work full time, I go to college full time, and have recently been partially ill, so site updates are slow to come around. So be it. I am working on a story about some assholes at a online store that can die in a fire…but I want to wait a bit while some things play out. This will prevent me from writing a billion UPDATE posts.
Maybe I’ll get some other posts in here in the mean time.
So yeah, thanks to all who have visited, and please let me know what you think in the comments section below. Feedback would be very helpful.
Well, Karma being the funny bitch she is, decided to show up in weird ways.
Firstly, this site, JoelTheGreat.com, apparently has been ‘blacklisted’ on Reddit.com. I believe I was accused of what was referred to as ‘blog-spamming.’ I didn’t mean to do it, I apparently missed some etiquette rules they had up. I emailed them, got no response. Threw up a question in their “Ask Reddit” section. Got one snarky remark, and one person trying to help, but no true answer. I don’t know if I am actually blacklisted, or what I can do to fix the situation.
Here is a link to the Ask Reddit post: REDDIT
In the Karma turn of events, my server was attacked? I don’t know what happened, but there was all kinds of weirdness in the logs and the 40 unique IP’s to hit this server yesterday generated over 1300 page views. That is not normal.
A little fiddling with the iptables and all seems good now.
JoelTheGreat.com (and lookacyb.org) have been migrated from the old server to the new place in the cloud. With that I have updated the ‘About/Contact Us’ page with more info on that.
Also, sorry about the lack of updating this site with my normal crap. I’ve been busy migrating the server and such. So give me some time, I’ll find something to bitch about.
