Day 96 of the post a day saga revisits the stupid. And who or what is the stupid? The stupid may be you or it may be someone you know. The stupid does not limit itself to any particular race, creed or culture. The stupid is all around us. It is like a retarded version of The Force. The stupid my friends, is something I encounter on a daily basis. Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 6pm I am bombarded by the stupid. It never fails to amaze me but just when I think I have spoken to the dumbest person on the planet, the next one calls in. Now to be fair, not every encounter of the day results in the stupid. I have had the pleasure of meeting and helping some of the nicest people in the world but that is about as rare as winning the lottery. Please, I wasn’t born yesterday and I can assure you the problems you are experiencing are most likely caused by you and not by our systems. Not to brag, but how is it that I have successfully set up dozens of my own emails accounts in Outlook and on various cell phones and have never once experienced failure but yet you complain that you have never gotten your email to work? Fuck me, I apologize for being so cynical but I’m not buying your story. The cause of the problem is this, You Are Stupid! OMG, did I just say that? Yes, you are a stupid motherfucker.
Okay, so now that I have that out of my system let me comment on another thing. Building a website is not easy. Or should I say that building even a remotely decent looking website is not easy. I’m sorry if the pretty advertisement told you how easy it would be to design a great looking website in an hour. You were lied to. Maybe you should have thought about this, you have trouble tying your own shoes so what made you think you could build a website. Our tools are not broken, you are. Another thing is this, the reason why you can’t find yourself on the search engines is because your website is shit. You can’t write a legible sentence much less a complete paragraph of relevant information and this is why Google has you sitting on page 5,295 of whatever keywords you typed in. And this is my fault how? Oh right, because you say it is. Alrighty, I’ll take responsibility for your failures. After all, I am the master of the universe.
Hey, hope you enjoy it. It is best served hot!
I was turned on to another good site offering skills and tutorials for making the websites look spectre. I advise that you give them a peek, I think you’ll find something of interest.
Cool, no?
More accurately I am referring to life here in Portland, Oregon. Having spent the last three days battling the flu I can tell you that I’d rather be hit by a truck, less pain involved. My activities have been limited to what I can accomplish while sitting at my desk, although I did manage to inflate the tires on my bicycle in hopes that I will be well enough to ride to work in the morning.
Also, kudos to Netflix. I found out quite by accident that Netflix now allows multiple devices to stream instant viewing from a single account. I do not recall getting a single message from Netflix announcing this new feature and I assume it was a quiet rollout to keep a handle on bandwidth. But regardless, it works quite well and brings tremendous value to me as a Netflix customer. At any given time there are at least three PC’s streaming video or music or gaming over our home network and now we do not have to have a schedule set up when someone wants to watch a movie or TV show. Nice job Netflix!
Another fun but pointless little project that I have been playing around with has been using my old webcam to create time lapse videos. Nothing award winning so far, just doing it to pass the time.
