BlogThis weekend was "
Hamilfest," a yearly tradition of drag strip, camping, and drinking. It starts out with a bunch of Cougars at a drag strip in St. Thomas, Ontario, then progresses to camping at a Canadian park. Some beer and burgers are added to create the slap happy atmosphere. The end result of which is always entertaining. This year we were able to drive on a beach, which was hands down the most fun I've had in my Cougar.
My trusty truck is gone for good. I'll always remember the good times. The woman who bought him seemed like a responsible mother, so he's in good hands. Now I have to come up with a name for my
new truck
Joseph fled hurricane Frances and is currently staying in Hotlanta, but his house (and webcam) are riding out the storm. His live webcam was knocked offline which hopefully only means he lost cable or power. I'm confident his house will still be standing when he returns, for the great turn lane god watches over him and protects him even from the mighty FEMA.
The last
bonfire at my current house was tonight.
Lomar sacrificed a flamingo to the great fire god while listening to anti-brad songs.

Sitting at the desk in the hotel room where I'm staying during my ADO.net training I saw the white card exclaiming "Free High Speed Internet!" (which I'm consequently using). I have been using the connection for awhile now, but after reading these instructions I'm not sure I connected properly. Here are the instructions, as they appear on the card.
Instructions:
- Be configured for the L.A.N. Connection
- Have a Ethernet card for the L.A.N. Base
- Have a Cat. 5 Connection Cable (Cables are available at the front desk)
- Plug the Cat. 5 Cable into the orange jack
- Click on your computers internet link
On August 30th, 1969 the very first node of the ARPANet was brought online at the University of California, Los Angeles. October 1st the second host was brought online at the Stanford Research Center. October 29th the first login attempt was made which crashed both systems involved. The ARPANet evolved and was eventually used almost exclusively by educational institutuions until the gopher protocol began to attract more mainstream users. Of course the biggest development was the introduction of the World Wide Web interface which was the engine that allowed for AOL and script kiddies to come into existance. As you may or may not know, this server is powering the next generation of the internet, known as the
interweb. It's time to choose sides.
With the last post in the ITAE forums dated over a year ago,
Stavos decided to re-ignite them. Not satisfied with letting him have all the fun, I redirected the forums to the last re-launched version:
AtomicDetroit Forums. While nobody knows if they will be a success or failure (this time),
JOSEPH has already signed up, suggesting it has the support of FEMA and all other hurricane survivors. If you're reading this and have a site hosted on this server,
go here and rave about how awesome the service is. Gratuitious ravings will recieve future discounts.
Congratulations to
Joseph and Lavonne! I have heard word that FEMA not only spared the life of Joseph, but allowed him to propose to my former wife Lavonne. They are to be married in the turn lane outside their home in the near future. Unfortunately, the
hamster was unable to witness this event due to his untimely death several months before. However, the
bionicle toys indicated it was a very emotional event. Best of luck to the newly engaged couple!
My friend
JOSEPH, who recently survived Hurricane Charley has been having trouble getting aide from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Apparently he was not aware of the absolute power this organization wields. I calmly explained to him that they could easily re-task one of their WarMonGer satellites to vaporize him and everything he ever came into contact with. I suggested he try a more reserved approach such as kneeling down and reciting the pledge of allegiance to the organization before asking for assistance. He agreed to give it a try, and I hope they will forgive his previous complaint. He is a good friend, but if FEMA decides he is no longer a viable citizen I will have to bid him farewell, and will miss him dearly. With that, I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. And to the organization, for which it stands, one group, to rule the world, with absolute and all encompasing power.
