Shit Generator

Ah, the internet. Where else can one find meaningless fun in a random, slogan generator?
My favorite word of choice to input? “Shit“. Every press of the button is a new classic, yet unusable, phrase for your company.

Amateur Hour

While I am not perfect when it comes to publishing my blog, the blogger movement at large has created a great deal of useless information. (I know, huge surprise…) One of the major problems with the internet in general is the immediacy of it. Unlike print publishing, all you have to do is click “publish” in your favorite blogging interface and walk away. Fix it later, when you catch the mistakes, right? Or even better – use the public as your proof reader. Reading blogs is like slogging through a massive fan-zine bin. Perhaps one day, some industrious programmer can develop a web app that “translates” some nitwit’s blog from unreadable dross to a concise, informative document. Google? Any plans for this?

Have a look at this excerpt from a “web designer” tip source blog. Is it really that laborious to type two more letters to finish words like “you” or use a fucking spell check? This type of lazy writing raises my hackles. I’m not even going to attack the grammar. Jesus… I’d pick the entire paragraph apart, but we’d be here all day.

It is the most important part which we neglect while publishing a post. Lets take a simple example. I am about ot publish a post lets say.
10 Awesome Graphics Designs and Digital Artworks  the URL would be :

www.yoursite.com/category/10-awesome-graphics-designs-and-digital-artworks
Seems pretty much alright, right? Well..here u miss about 30% of your visibility!!
A simple reason using STOP WORDS in title and URL are the worst idea u can think up of. !! AND is a stop word. About the url why make it so long using extra stuff in it like the word 10 , and etc. Trust me no one will search for your content in search engines with these words 10 graphics design.  If they look for that they will search graphics designs etc.
So get rid of 10 , and from your URL. Here is how they should be:

The Most Beautiful Story I’ve Heard This Year

#3. Alan Ralsky: Spamming the Spam King

If you love email spam, you can thank Alan Ralsky. He started spamming back before anyone knew what spam was, in the late 90s. By 2001, he managed to push so much shit through the Verizon servers he shut them down, leading to a lawsuit from Verizon.

That lawsuit was settled and by 2002, Ralsky was rolling in enough dick enlargement cream cash to buy a $750,000 mansion. He continued spamming, using a database of 250 million names, charging companies to send out their shit e-mails for them. Up to 70 million a day, by his own admission.

As with all great assholes, the taint of arrogance was right around the corner, under the ballsack of stupidity. Ralsky, smug and potentially borderline retarded, did an interview with the Detroit News in which he seemed quite pleased with himself and the legal way he was doing business.

Readers didn’t find things as amusing as he did and when the interview was posted on Slashdot, some people went out of their way to find the address to his new home, which they then posted. The result was Ralsky being signed up to every hardcopy mailing campaign people could find.

Snail mail, as the kids call it, started arriving at Ralsky’s mansion by the truckload. Literally by the truckload, as tons of it was delivered to his house each and every day. Ralsky’s reaction was to complain that he was being harassed and was going to sue. This lead to massive bouts of laughter and an unprecedented level of not giving a shit. But at least the man won’t have to leave home to do his Christmas shopping.

Joeblog

After my idiot hosting company allowed their rackspace monkeys to delete all mySQL databases on my blogs and websites and after posting about ten entries since last March ‘07, the creeps have pulled another accidental mySQL deletion. They’ve thankfully made restitution for this second blunder and have finally put a redundancy system in place.

So, for all ten of you out there reading the ol’ blog, it’s back up. Any entries after “From Beyond on DVD” are sadly lost, but they weren’t Wordsworth or anything, so I’ll just start from here. Also, if you’re on my Facebook, forget about clicking on any note links to read the rest of any of the newsfeed entries.

The internet is useless. Remember kids, if you care about your intangible work online – make backups constantly, and don’t write directly in the blog editor like I’m doing right n———–

Diet Blog

This pal o’ mine has decided to document his weight loss via a blog. As the above thirty crowd knows, weight comes on fast and furious if you don’t take care of yourself, so it’s nice to see someone taking action and hopefully inspiring others to do the same.
