I will fucking do something sooner or later...I'm not tarded, but I don't know computers.
It hurts.
I'm constantly promised all sorts of things by others here.
And I buy it. I mean, them.
Just a day more... I think... that's what they all say.
I really don't want you to see "kbreak learns html".
At this rate, you're going to...
I really thought that this is the one place
that would self-generate a site.
Can you see that?
So why is it not working?

I like each and every one of you quite a lot.Don't get me wrong.
I'm just worn down here.
To think of the knowledge on tap here is amazing.
So why no site?

Understandable .. but we must realize that these people give of their spare time... and things and sometimes I know i get burn't out on coding sometimes. I would make it but I dont know php or sql ... its like japanese to me... but anyways .. my designs suck to what has totally been show off here. Just wish something could happen, but I understand burn out and code block..

S i x months?Maybe I am tarded.
Maybe my worldview is wrong.
Should I grow up more?

I've put out the offer to help with a few things...I know PHP and SQL and can contribute some technical content kinds of things.I really don't think it should take much. The opening page could have the big deal announcements/really funny stuff ala the old detnet. All submissions could be screened by the admins or mods (depending on who wants to do what) and sifted to different "departments." I'd like to see some technical resources pop up here since some of us are pretty big geeks in certain areas. The departments could be something along similar lines to the forums...the best links could be posted, a technical resource section (how-to's, etc), a humor section, an art section for those who can create photoshop/music/video kinds of things. W/the photoshop we could post the "PS Tennis" matches that occasionally happen.
Here's what I see as the problem...the content ppl are saying "we're waiting for the design" and the design ppl are saying "why should we put all the work into design if there's no content?"
Who wins? It's up to the leadership of the site (read: admins and mods) to get this thing rolling. I'd really like to see something happen, and am willing to help.
So...who's coming with me? Huh? Who's coming with me?

right, so I guess it's time for me to start churning out rants, because rant==contentSELECT rant FROM brain WHERE pisses_most_of_us_off="yes"
65536 rows returned
hmm...
SELECT rant FROM brain WHERE pisses_most_of_us_off="yes" AND funny="yes" AND intelligent="yes"
16 rows returned
there we go...
note to ed: This is just a reminder, this site isn't going to perpetuate itself. you've got to contribute...

Rant #1 (The Cynic's 'State of the Internet' Address) By: Bob The Cannibal Well, Kbreak went and bought himself Detonate.net. Goodie for him. About the last person to understand the community, now heads the community. Good show! Well, at least he offers up some of the more, erm, adult... pictures he has had the, erm, privilege (?)... Of photographing. Maybe he does understand the community. Local news aside, let's move on to global. For those Regheads, the register has spawned a US site. They offer biting sarcasm in dollars, miles, and Fahrenheit. not a bad thing, now, isn't it... Sand Grain awards: The Sand Grain awards are so-named because a grain of sand is almost impossible to remove from your eye without a lot of work, and it so happens to be very annoying. * Pop[up,under,over] windows, windows that hijack the normal OS look by devious graphics and/or HTML manipulation, banner ads, and unnecessary flash/java. * CSS changing of scrollbar colors. They're there for a reason, people. I hate odd color schemes. * Disabling the right click menu. I use it to download files, view source, open in a different window, and when I mouse left handed, to click normally. * Lazy writers who can't use a spellchecker, or follow common grammar rules. Get a fucking English class, or write in your native language, so that Babelfish can frag your language, so you don't have to... * Trojan advertising programs. My sister downloaded a Trojan from Live Online Portal somehow, it then proceeded to hijack every explorer window once an hour, pop up an advertisement every 5 minutes, and make a few sites come up as unreachable, because it hijacked the automatic "search" results, and wouldn't allow you to turn off auto search. They get the detonate.net "Asbestos Cork" award, for being Flaming Assholes. Nice job guys, don't keep up the 'good' work... One of our esteemed members from the IRC channel #detnet, on EFNET (irc://efnet/detnet), by the name of Brainbox, has set up a site devoted to your rights online. Analogypolice.com (plug, plug) focuses on copy protection, encryption, and other items, such as digital rights management and legislation. (Subliminal)Why not take a visit...(/subliminal) I'd like to close the rant with a phrase, stolen from NMap's help file... Some options are specific to certain scan modes. nmap tries to catch and warn the user about psychotic or unsupported option combinations. |
yeah, I know, it's a bit weak, but it's better than what's already up front...

Thankyou, Mr Bob, that was great!Maybe we should stick it on the news page for now!
Mr DSL, you here?

I usually ignore the Dammit, Editor forum that rant is going up ASAP, so the rest of you will STFU
Posted by Flarp on May 19 2002,02:51
woot, thanks for the cheap AnalogyPolice plug there canni - I've just had a cunning idea for a source of content, which I shall post in whateverthefuck the forum for "us giving kbreak some content ideas" is called :-)I'll also get off my lazy arse and set my forum sig and stuff up for here, too
