I am happy because I get to put ridiculous little bits in and change lots of settings and once again have my space to write in where I have the potential to reach lots of people but in reality reach only the truly intrepid friends I have who glance over this way every once in a while, usually by accident.

Hooray! And I hardly had to spend more than a couple of hours tearing out chunks of hair trying to work with WordPress!

Hopefully this will encourage me to write more, and write better. Much, much better. Maybe. =)

EDIT: Okay that sucked. Didnt work at all. Let’s try it without a plugin:

EDIT B: Success! Yay!

Armpit lickin’ segzy goodness!

Whale: Hobo Humpin\' Slobo Babe\"Whale – \"Hobo Humpin\' Slobo Babe\"

EDIT: Okay, that sucks and doesnt work the way it should at all. >:( ONWARD TO PLAN B!

Plan B:

EDIT B: Goddamn it! That’s no good either!

EDIT B2: (10 seconds later, on preview): Oh wait! It worked! HOORAY!

EDIT B3: Let me know if this fucker autoplays. I hope it doesnt…I’ll go test it now. :D

Since I rarely updated anyway, nobody will particularly miss my raving or find the any downtime inconvenient; I also have my own personal shenanigans to attend to which will make it a bloody miracle if I actually manage to get anything even remotely creative done, much less this managing to get this sucker up and running again. But I’ll start simple and keep my fingers crossed and go from there. It’s a good project for me in a couple of important ways, but I simply may not be up to it yet and may not be up to it for some time. At least until some things in my life are stabilized. I just can’t focus.

Anyway, I’m elsewhere on the web; my mouth roars on. I miss my blog, so hopefully that will provide at least a little impetus for me to get it taken care of.

This blog may break without warning as things go on behind the scenes. For instance, to start off with, I’m deleting as much as I can from the server. It’s an unholy mess. Newer things may break – email me to let me know. Older things will DEFINITELY break because I’m deleting all the old sites I put up before. Some things, like my Martin Luther King page, I’ll try to keep from disturbing until it’s moved to its new home because that page gets a ton of hits and a lot of schools use it. A lot of black history sites also steal it, without even so much as a linkback. Nice karma you got going on over there, you guys. :P Way to keep the flame alive.

Anyway, my email remains the same: perilous at sithly dot com. So give me a shout if you need to talk to me or if the site is broken somehow. I’m just going to start with getting back the ability to post if I want to -that broke sometime between April and a couple months ago, probably because of the old theme I had – and go from there. I’ll be curious to see what happens, if anything, from this point forward!

Peace. Stay safe out there, folks.

this is a test post. i’m trying to figure some of this shit out by myself right now because that wordpress bullshit got me so unbelievably angry that i’m not fit for human company.

this is a new little thing i’m trying to include on the site but as you can see, it renders bizarrely. i’ll leave this post here in case someone from the site comes over here to take a look at what i’m talking about – i’m about to email them for some support.

hopefully they’ll be a lot nicer than the wordpress goons.

Edit: Saturday, 13 Jan 07

Well, I just heard back from Brad at indieKarma, and yeah, not only did he respond to me on a Saturday, which is very cool to begin with, but he was actually a very nice guy and explained what the problem probably was (snarky CSS), and asked for a week to try to sort it out on their side. He was totally casual penis. I approve highly, and because he was a nice guy I’m totally a fan of indieKarma. Plus they gave me a free dollar to start off with! Sweet!

It’s so much easier to be a decent human being than it is to be a raging, foaming cock, you know? And, I might add, better for business. Nobody in Bedford Falls liked Mr. Potter, but everyone just loved George Bailey.

Good luck, indieKarma guys! Let me know if I can help out somehow. And thank you for not being a dick to me, Brad. I’ve had a bad couple of days. Your being a decent guy, not treating me like an idiot, and giving me such a helpful reply to my support request really helped me feel a little bit better.

What’s funny is how I get called a troll and insulted for bitching about how fucking rude these assholes are, but if, for instance, you have a look at whoami’s past posts, you will see that he is pretty much regularly an asshole to other people all the fucking time. He’ll post in a thread just to do nothing more than insult you for not doing something the way he thinks it should be done. And then in his profile he describes himself thusly: “im not rude, im succinct. Dont want a straight answer, dont ask me. and while we are at, learn how to ask a question.”

lrn 2 rite nub. Jesus Christ.

He doesnt need to learn how to keep a civil fucking tongue in his head and shut his fucking mouth when he doesnt have an actual answer to a question, but you need to learn how to ask questions according to his specific guidelines nonetheless. Heh. He’s been on the site a while and he is absolutely typical of the type of “volunteer” that hangs out there to provide “support” to hapless users who go there honestly believing that theyll receive assistance.

Well, as I said in my posts there on that thread, I’m done with that fucking website and with that community. I’ll track down my answers amongst people who actually know enough of what theyre talking about to be able to give you some assistance if you have a question, instead of insulting you to make themselves feel better about being so ignorant and pathetic.

These guys are everything I despise about geeks wrapped up in a neat package. Arrogant, pretentious, condescending assholes who feel so lame and useless that all they can do is attack other people. I hate those fucking guys.

And for anyone who happens to be coming here from the link in that thread to either mock my website or myself, you are free to do so but remember two things:

– You dont mean fuck-all to me, because youre too stupid to live and I wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire, so your time would probably be better spent kicking puppies or whatever else it is that you get up to when youre not jerking off into a Dixie cup and drinking it because it’s the closest youll ever get to an actual blowjob; and

– Just because you volunteer your time does NOT GIVE YOU LICENSE TO BE A COCK. I know you think it does, but you’re fucking stupid, and you should save yourself all the effort of trying to think for yourself, ’cause you suck at it. Youre just wrong, and that’s all. Thinking youve got a right to treat other people like shit because you volunteer your time on the internet is like thinking you’ve got a right to stab someone because they took the seat you wanted on the bus. Do the human race a favour and kill yourself.

And whoami? Eat a bag of cocks, you rude, knuckle-dragging fuckwit. Calling you a Neanderthal would be an insult to Neanderthals.

I didnt get out of IT because of the users. I got out of IT because of the geeks.

I asked for a mod to contact me regarding all this bullshit but I dont expect them to. The only thing the WordPress “support” community is good for is taking potshots at other people from behind the safety shield of anonymity. When you actually stand up to them and demand responses and action, they fire insults at you from behind their barricades and then write you off as a troll. What makes me laugh is apparently they’ve got this new “Kvetch” system going in now. If these people actually cared at all about the users, they’d have responded to these complaints a long, long, long time ago now. This has been going on forever. Who the hell are they kidding? The people I feel most sorry for are the sorry bastards who are going to go there thinking that theyre actually going to get help.

MAN I’m SO PISSED right now!
