fix.eagle.and.child #8480: >> Wow, Paul. You seem like a complete human being from that description. You >> never seemed that way in person, though. > Hrm, such warmth and love... remind me why I'm using FIX again? The abuse and insults excite you horribly, and make your dirty little organ of shame get all stiff.
Updated the server with a new shot of my desktop, since I'm working really hard now I thought you'd like to see how I work:) Check it out!! (75kb) Thursday, May 01, 2003
Added a Random page feature for my wikipedia section.. Check out this image by Iranian designer Ali Reza: I think Kabos is the title.. Don't know. Anyway, it's really great!
Just something I read in a browser review at Wired News: 1993 was a very good year for computer geeks. Grunge was fashionable. Version 1.0 of the Linux kernel was about ready to make its debut. Intel's snappy new 66-MHz Pentium processor had just been introduced. Wednesday, April 30, 2003

A follow-up on the wikipedia discussion that's been going on.. All is well that ends well. Well.. Thanks anyway, Timmy! Tuesday, April 29, 2003
Sigg3 o 0 ( Dr.Dre - Ackrite ft Hittman ) Got this Hodja-joke from Daniel C. (Daniel who? Look below... no, further down!) (Do you know about Hodja, a medieval mullah from Turkey?) Hodja was unconscious and people believed he was dead and so they had put him in a coffin and were taking him to the cemetary. But the funeral procession came to a fork in the road, and the pallbearers were arguing which was the better road to take to the cemetary. Hodja sat up in the coffin and said, "Go to the left."

There's something really fucked up with the font sizes and all. I'll have a look at the css configurations later today:)
Look what's been happening at Wikipedia.orgwithout my knowledge, and it is of course concerning wether Daniel C. Boyer should be allowed to have an article about himself as a surrealist; my reply: "How about just asking me?" and @ User:Sigg3.net: Oh, and for those who's still wondering: I'm not fabricated by Daniel C. Boyer, as I am a product of my own imagination. Thanks. Trippy situation...! But all is well that ends well, and Daniel got his own article @ wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_C._Boyer
Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. Great shortstory with undeniable surrealistic atmosphere, although it really has nothing to do with surrealism. Poe has been wrongly compared to the masters of the brilliant art (Surrealism) due to his obsessive dreams on Death from the age of five. Well, it doesn't qualify, and as André Breton said: "Let's all spit on Edgar Allan Poe!" Here's the beginning, and one of the best parts, of the short-story: TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Read the full short-story at: www.literature.org Monday, April 28, 2003
As you may have noticed, I'm trying out different combinations of the background images and such, to decrease the amount of kbytes the visitor has to download before entering the site. I've been having trouble with it myself, since I found it way too slow for a normal weblog, so that is why you will probably find alot of strange things going on a wee while forward from now on.. Thx for your consideration!
Just a historical event I think we all should admire: When Larry Walters was 13 years old, he went to a local Army-Navy surplus store and saw the weather balloons hanging from the ceiling. It was then he knew that some day he would be carried aloft by such balloons. This obsession would be with him for the next 20 years. On July 2nd, 1982, Larry tied 42 helium-filled balloons to a Sears lawn chair in the backyard of his girlfriend's house in San Pedro, California. With the help of his ground crew, Larry then secured himself into the lawn chair which was anchored to the bumper of a friend's car by two nylon tethers. He took with him many supplies, including a BB gun to shoot out the balloons when he was ready to descend. His goal was to sail across the desert and hopefully make it to the Rocky Mountains in a few days. But things didn't quite work out for Larry. After his crew purposely cut the first tether, the second one also snapped which shot Larry into the LA sky at over 1,000 feet per minute. So fast was his ascent that he lost his glasses. He then climbed to over 16,000 feet. For several hours he drifted in the cold air near the LA and Long Beach airports. A TWA pilot first spotted Larry and radioed the tower that he was passing a guy in a lawn chair at 16,000! Larry started shooting out a few balloons to start his descent but had accidentally dropped it. He eventually landed in a Long Beach neighborhood. Although he was entangled in some power lines, he was uninjured. Read more @ www.markbarry.com Sunday, April 27, 2003
