Tangent 2

Filed Under General 

It's pretty hard to get time to work on this site when I'm so busy fixing unfixable computers. Norton Internet Security (actually, all Symantec/Norton) products are hereby boycotted.

I've never seen such a lousy setup in all of my life. Their products can barely hold themselves together in a standalone installation, let alone integration with other Symantec/Norton products. Remember when Norton Utilities used to be awesome? (I'm talking about the DOS 6.22 days, when everything worked properly and software that glitched up was actually surprising) There will be no discussion of those products on this website any further.

I've also quit visiting the CCleaner forums. (Don't even ask me about it, unless you like to banned at the IP level from this site.)

EDIT>> That was kind of nice how they gave me a farewell. I lied about not going back, I really did want to see what they'd say ;) That was even pretty cool how Eldmannen said he'd miss me. ANYWAY... I'm working with Tarun to get his site up [hooked him up with lunarsoft.net and ToastyX, who hosts THIS site ;)] I hope to get the shoutbox up soon. Or a small message board that doesn't require registering, or something. I dunno, I'll look around.

I'm tired of bad grammar. Worse than that, I'm tired of bad grammar rules. Why is it again that I am supposed to put punctuation inside of a quotation? Oh, so that way the quotation is no longer exactly accurate? If I quote someone and they didn't have a period in their quote, it's going outside the quotation marks, damn it.

Example:

Click Start, click Run, and then type "notepad."

Therefore, on this site, I obey only those grammar rules that make sense. I will also obey grammar rules that I have personally deemed accurate. Don't even get me started about ending sentences in prepositions, because there's no point to that so-called rule at all. If you look it up, it turns out it's not really a rule at all, but just one man's doctrine. He tried to convince everyone that they were doing it all wrong. I think he succeeded in duping the masses, but I am not so easily fooled.

That is the sort of grammar up with which I cannot put.

I don't want to bring back a forum (yet(?)) but I'm going to try to put a live (no refreshing required!) shoutbox in soon, so at least people can leave messages to each other. This should work well, except for spammers, so I'll have to look out for that. I hate nothing more than someone advertising their site on my site without any sort of permission.

I'm sick of the MUD already (too buggy, unfinished), so for all those who want to play something good, they should probably check out EUO. I made the installer. ^_^
Our MUD is gone now. People actually liked the BBS door games, but alas, they are for DOS and they destroy my machine (thanks, NTVDM). PS: don't reply to this with ways to make it work, I don't care about the door games anymore.

It seems that all mmorpg servers that are available for download are either pieces of crap, or are only for Windows (who wants to run an mmorpg server via WINDOWS?!). I haven't found anything good yet. Wishing now that I could run a private EUO server.
