Someone sent me a link to a conspiracy theory page.  At some point I got around to the standard World Trade Center, building 7 thing.  Let me point out...nothing says conspiracy theory like having building 7 collapse.  Of course, most of you probably misunderstood that.  Let's just go over the basics real quick.  So far as most Americans are concerned, buildings 1 and 2 were all there was to the world trade center.  Most people probably didn't even know there was anything aside from the towers.  Even if they did, the towers were the only remarkable part.  Now, there's no problem for most people in seeing that a jumbo jet full of fuel can fuck up a building.  Sure, there are people who mistakenly think steel shouldn't melt (and I'm looking at you Rosie)...I mean what, you think it stays at 100% of it's strength right up to the melting point and then suddenly turns to liquid?  Steel gets weaker as it heats up.

Well, nothing much has been going on lately.  I've got an external drive enclosure for one of the little hard drives I have laying around, a fairly good heatsink, a gigabit ethernet adapter so all the computers are back on gigabit...but that's about it.What I'm waiting for is the next Core2Duo processor.  I'd THOUGHT that the E4300 would be the chip I was waiting on.  Turns out it's not really supposed to be a "bargain" chip, just a reasonably priced one.  By the way, if you're looking for a CPU with high overclocking potential, the Intel E4300/E4400 are a great way to go.  Sure, they're kind of "wimpy" at 1.8 and 2.0 ghz respectively but that puts them at about the same speed as a dual, 4ghz P4...and with a lower bus speed they're ideal for overclocking.  Just bumping them from 800mhz to 1066mhz (standard bus speeds) nets you 2.4ghz and 2.66ghz respectively.

One really has to wonder WTF kind of world we live in when spammers try to spam blogs (like say...this pathetic little site).  I hate to say it but it's really starting to get obvious that...anonymity on the web is kind of a bad thing.  Or perhaps we need a secondary web...one that (again) lacks anonymity.  Then spammers and hackers would be forced out.  Of course, finding a way to fix all the vulnerabilities on the servers and in various OS' would do much the same thing.

Didn't realize the contact form (in the About section) wasn't working properly...it's been fixed.

Just caught some videos on youtube.  Funny stuff. He has quite a few videos.

Lately I've been working with quite a few other sites and it's kind of got me thinking about upgrading poitsplace, adding adding features, etc.  I wouldn't actually change it that much to be honest, but I'd kind of like to add little touches I haven't added so far.  It's not something I look forward to though.  It's kind of a crap shoot, sometimes things convert/upgrade perfectly, sometimes they just screw up completely.

After years of waffling I finally got off my ass and made fakesites.com look like an...ummm... well, it looks a lot better, I think.

OMFG!  My new work machine is actually faster than my home machine.  It's got a Core2Duo at 1.86ghz and 2gigs of RAM.  Only thing that's faster about my home machine is the video card (X800XT at home v/s an X1300 here.

Finally got around to changing the permissions so normal people can't post links.  Some asshat spammer was posting dozens of entries with nothing but links.  I need to work on a brutal terms of use for that...maybe something along the lines of...spammers agree to pay me $1000 per entry or $100 per link, whichever is greater :)

Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher in...Dude, Where's my hair?

By the way, Easter is almost here so I should be making more Peeps movies and such (photoshopped movie posters with the peeps easter candy as actors) over at Fakesites.com
