10.30.2000 Episode 12 is LIVE. This episode covers the last several days of posting, including lots of talk about Indecision 2000, Voteswap, KDE2, conspiracy theories, and of course, Snoop Dogg sings kids songs ... "the hos on the bus go down on me, down on me, down on me ..." I really like this episode, and I think you will too.

10.28.2000 Read This Now! If for nothing else than seeing Linus Torvalds, in a photo, miming the contorted position Bill Gates had in a stock photo shown during the "MS Hacked" news stories, looking like the Penguin from Batman ...
Oh My God, I think I just stumbled onto something ... The Penguin, Linus, Bill, it all makes sense ... oh no ...too ... much ... conspiracy ... theories ... posted by creon
Apparently, just wait 10:13 after the last track of the X-Files soundtrack, and Chris Carter Explains It All.

so, after the last post, creon asked me if the nfin was for real, or just a very clever satire. i must inform you all, it's all too serious and maintained by a frog, worse even, a canadian frog.

all hail those of giant balls and know-how. i know that as a white hat hax0r i'm supposed to frown upon malicious attacks like this, but it's microsoft, FUCKING MICROSOFT. have we noticed the leaps and bounds WINE has been making lately . . . or could it be someone more sinister behind it all? (gratis for the last link goes to the ms-felchers at nfin)

I just got this ridiculous e-mail from Pat Buchanan through Vote.com, a supposedly objective site where former Clinton political strategist Dick Morris (?!!) makes the Internet get your opinion heard, and it's such farking infuriating spam that I had to share it here:
Dear Vote.com voter: Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan has asked us to forward the following response to the e-mails we have sent to him on your behalf. ---------------------------------------- Dear Vote.com voter: Thank you for sharing your views with me through the Vote.com system. As you know, I stand unabashedly for conservative principles: smaller government, lower taxes, the right to life, immigration and trade reform, and a foreign policy that will send America's finest men and women into danger only if our vital national interests are at stake. I am the only candidate who is not running to the left but is standing firm for what we both believe in. And I am building a third party that in the future will fight for those same principles. In the heat of these final days before the election, I need your help to pay for the tremendously expensive programs that broke the Establishment parties ' (sic) lock on ballot access, and put my name on the November 7th ballot across the country. If you can help me [Editor's note: SNIP!] to send me whatever you can -- $1,000, $500, $250, $100 or even $50 or $25. Anything you can contribute will help![Ed. note: URL to send him blood money deleted] Sincerely, Please at least check out each of the links, because they'll tell you the hidden truth behind this machiavellian fascist's verbal diarrhea. And if you *still* vote for him, I'll just have to hunt you down and slap the stupid out of you. posted by creon
10.26.2000 KDE 2.0 is Out!
Yes, I know officially I'm in the GNOME camp, as is my trusty friend Rhino (though that took some convincing), KDE 2.0 is fucking amazing, at least on paper. Too many widgets are still too big and blocky, but it's gettin' slicker and more powerful. Full review next episode... posted by creon
10.25.2000 Two initial tattoo designs, please e-mail me with your designs for my tattoo, no matter how ridiculous or ugly or fucked or serious:

OpenCulture: an alternative to the asshole tactics some people are trying to push (and which some artists have endorsed). it's good to see that there are people inserting a little sanity into the online publishing world.

10.23.2000 Episode X11R6 has been recorded and is coming down the pike ... Check out Live365 tonight to listen to our latest wackiest show ...
This time 'round we've got Carnivore redux, amiga.os.die.die.die, more MacOS X frustrations, porn, naughty words, references to adult subjects and this weeks mission, to design my tattoo. posted by creon
10.21.2000 Mutant Penguins!! I just saw this ad in Slashdot, and it's hysterical; M$ portrays Linux as a constantly mutating penguin in Germany ... ACK! What the hell is Bill Gates snorting?!

10.20.2000 BountyQuest is a joint venture from Tim O'Reilly and Jeff Bezos (founder, Amazon, ring a bell?) that came out of the "one-click" shopping lame-ass patent fallout that O'Reilly took Bezos before Senate over. BountyQuest allows anybody to find evidence of prior art for a patent, and they collect a "bounty" put up by someone who wants to find prior art (either they're contesting a patent, want to research their own patent, or want to stomp Amazon.com like the bitches they are). There's USD$300,000+ up for grabs, and they just launched on Wednesday.
It's wacky, it's distributed, it's free money. posted by creon

10.18.2000 George Bush is a PUNK! has the most perfect single web page I've ever seen. Some hilarious shit going on with make-your-own comics.

"SDMI Cracked" PR flack flashback. The Recording Industry assmonkeys that wanted a new, "secure" digital music format - as opposed to the effective but anarchic MP3 >:/ - have gotten smacked like a red-headed stepchild. The format was very publicly cracked in an hour, and their spin-doctor drones are going bananas.
Hey, remember that "Crack the Win2K Server" contest? (I had to involve Micro$oft somehow!) posted by creon
10.17.2000 just wanted to say: i heard a rumor around the water cooler today (that's not a euphemism, it actually happened. aint that cool? ok, so it's not. now shut the fuck up, assholes): apparently, Apple is referring to their forthcoming os as "Oh-Ess-Ten" because they didnt want people to end up saying "Oh-Ess-Sex." and lest we forget, this isnt the first time this shit has happened. even if it is bullshit, i command you: go ye forth to usenet and spread the meme!

I just read through some of our Archives, and you should check them out, too. We've been doing this for 6 months, and the archive's become a pretty large, funny collection of snippets and links.

10.13.2000 Alright kids, Mozilla Milestone 18 is out, and if you haven't started experimenting with Mozilla yet, now's the time. It's just about feature-complete, pretty damn stable, and from here on in it will be faster on Windows than Netscape, and at full release (sans debugging code, plus code optimization) faster than IE, I bet. And completely standards-compliant!
Places like Mozdev.org will give you an introduction to all the different projects built on Mozilla as a cross-platform And for you lamers using AOL Instant Massager, check out the Netscape 6 PR3 for the AIM client built in XUL. posted by creon

10.11.2000 Great joke: Bush vs. Gore doesn't sound like an election, it's more like a snuff film.

10.10.2000 So I tripped this weekend, and it was intense. Oh, and the three tequila shots and trip to the Cumberland Farms made things even more interesting. I crashed pretty hard, as did my co-trekkers, but I woke up at 5:30PM today feeling great. Next up, Episode X11R6 (eleven).

Due to a fuckup with dual-booting a Linux server and Win2K, and trying to restore the fucked up Win2K, I lost the Linux, and, sadly, the Iron Chef page. However, I'll get it fixed, just hang in there.
Another reason not to sysadmin stoned. posted by creon
10.6.2000 Check out our Iron Chef page, now with the Bell Pepper and King Crab Battles! And I fixed the link to the Oyster Battle. Sorry. Goatfuckers.

10.2.2000  Now if that isn't the funniest fucking banner ad. posted by creon
we've seen project grizzly, bottle rocket, hell, we even gave trekkies a gander (though some of us shouldnt). after all this, what i want to know is: where is the indie-film-docu-drama about these guys. if you read through the site, the thing almost writes itself.
