This have anything to do with that yogurt guy not liking being ridiculed?

Good job, UT :thumb: It was rather unnerving to wake up this morning and discover the Grinch had struck again.

And again, earlier this evening? I think we need to send homeland security after those Japs! :headshake

Undertoad 12-27-2005 12:09 AM

Yah, two hours down.

Elspode 12-27-2005 08:51 PM

Time to send out the Yakuza.

Undertoad 12-28-2005 10:08 PM

Four hours tonight, and I swear they hit ten minutes after I left the goddamn house.

Maybe it's your neighbors. ;)

I had everything prepared for the move that will solve this problem, and stayed awake until way late last night to finish it. It was 5 am when I got to the last step. It takes an hour, and there's nothing else to do while it runs. And so I set my alarm for 6 and went to sleep.

Woke up at 10 to find I set the alarm for 6 PM. :lol:

So the move is not done yet! Soon. Soon.

yeah, except I can wire a house, (OK I'm a little weak on my three-way switches) but when I look at that code stuff you posted it might as well be written in xhosa.

I was totally impressed that you busted mage instantly.

So your awesomeness is inversely proportional to my knowledge of computers.

Right now you are a small galaxy.

btw, what is an appropriate amount for the tip jar?


Also, a couple of questions to show the extent of my knowledge of computers/internet:
1) when these attacks happen is that the same thing as being "hacked"
2) are PMs that we have saved readable by the "attackers"?
3) Is there any financial motivation for the attacks?

This is what happens when you let kids learn about computers "on the street"

I don't mean to tell y'all about how difficult this is just to get donations... I have to say

Otherwise, donations now have us on a pretty good server with a decent amount of bandwidth, and after the move we can think about expanding and trying to get more people and such, and maybe doing some projects and such in the new year. Things would be much more bleak without donations, so they do make a difference in the long run.

Isn't it nice not to have to worry about what to do with your spare time? :thankyou:

Undertoad 12-29-2005 07:25 PM

No xoB, :thankyou: let us start the thank-fest! :P

Appropriate amount: that's entirely up to you... I always think of this sort of thing as similar to public broadcasting as far as that sort of thing goes.

Despite my nice house, which is basically my only investment, I am basically living on half a salary while I play the entrepreneur game. Donations have seen that I have the luxury of never giving this up, always being able to keep it going and now working to make it better, etc. It is a hobby on my behalf but also a labor of love and of need. I love you folks, I need you folks.

UT loves what he is doing, but it does take a block of time out of every day to seek and find and post the IOTD's and to monitor the threads, etc, even when nothing is going wrong. As he says, it is a labor of love, but as an artist myself who would do my work without public support if I had to (and have done in the past), I understand the motivation. But the public also knows this and knows that they can get an artists work cheaper or even for trade because the artist is going to keep working anyway. For some of you, perhaps many of you, that is what is happening here.

Like public broadcasting, I am pushing the guilt button. But you all do need to think about what kind of benefit you get from having the Cellar available, and borrowing another argument used by public radio, waht would you do if it weren't here? UT has never wanted to make it a commercial site with ads, etc., paying for it.

Mother will shut up now.
