Anything of great import happen in the last two months
(since
31-oct-01?)
Halloween and Thanksgiving passed by quietly, Katie Curic signed a $65
million dollar contract with the Today Show on NBC, and those rat bastard
new york yankees signed Jason Giambi to their team. Those are just a few
events to get you started. Oh, and I also finally have an old computer web
site of my own up and running. Yahoo.

Well, there were suddenly 37 active connections all trying to get it. Ouch.
No wonder it bombed on you. Keep trying if you get a server busy error. The
activity should slow down.
Comments on the site, anyone?

OK, I'll bite since you DID ask...
Pretty good layout I'd say.
And I must say I love the use of IIS and Javascript... oh wait did I say
love? No, thats not the word... oh yes. I frown upon it.
I would wish that at least SOME geeks would avoid using sh*t software.
Even Apache on NT is better...

Now Pat. Have compassion. Not everyone has seen the light. Yet. It's
amazing how many Linux User Group webpages say "Front Page" in the html
source, or won't load in Lynx. So a Mac-oriented site that's on the
dark-side is no surprise.
Having said that, as a Recovering NT Admin, I totally agree. The Web
would be a safer place without IIS.

Gee, thanks Pat. Hind sight is 20/20 I guess, and if I knew now what I knew
when I built the page,
I would have gone with PHP but since I am in no way, shape or form a
programmer or web developer,
I started with ASP and IIs. I am terribly sorry that my use of ASP caused
you so much physical pain
and anguish, even to the point that you couldn't see past the mechanics of
the design to what I was
trying to offer -simple information about my collection of old computers.
I would wish that at least SOME linux snobs would grow up, and stop acting
like conceited jackasses.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

As I said, good layout. I might not have even noticed the IIS thing if
your page hadn't given an 'Im not licensed to have this many users' error.
The ONLY reason I gripe about IIS is its 10,000 security holes (remember
CodeRed I & II and Nimbda?). Apache has never had that much of a problem.
I'm really only asking people to use BETTER software. Personally I dont
care if it's thttpd on linux, something on MacOS 6, DOS 3.2, or even a
PDP-1 that you stole from MIT's garbage. If you question me, the Gartner
Group (sp?) has recommended that businesses switch from using IIS to other
web servers becuase of all the problems that Microsoft has been having
lately (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/24/1814256&mode=thread)ead).
And that's coming from a computer consulting group that ISN'T excessively
anti-Microsoft.

And I wish that Microsoft would stop using gurilla, unethical, and other
dirty marketing tactics. I guess being a jackass is just my nature. :)

One last gripe to the list (and not you in particular). It WOULD be nice
if everyone would force their email client to use a maximum of like 72
columns so that text would still be readable by those of us out there
who prefer to not use 'bloated' graphical email clients. Thanks for
listening.

ROFL! Now you know there are at least 37 people who read this list
in real time... I'm a day late and a dollar short, so I'll browse now :)

(Nearly vomiting) I loath the yankees more than I can possibly put
into words. It looks like they're well on their way to buying another
WS ring. What I don't understand is why they don't dispense with the
formalities of the regular BB season, and just offer MLB a flat $136
million for a new set of rings for their team -that or just announce
outright that they've already bought the post-season umpires.
I think the yankees should be banned from baseball.

Big E,
You sound like a default O's or Red Sox fan. Yes, the Yanks have
cheapened the
concept of WS ring.
No real hatred to Torre or Jeter, as they are class acts, IMO. But the
whole Yankees "team" sux, IMO.
