One of my favorites websites is getting DDoS'd. It makes me sad...

My website hoster is not hosting. I am angry.

Nobody has bought my E6550+heatsink for $100 yet on any of the forums I put it up on.

Bah.

I went over to my neighbor's house to help, and they didn't answer the door. I know they were there because I could hear one of them them yelling something.

I sat there for about 5 minutes and finally walked off. Their loss.

I'll probably have to go back later though...
>:O

Suddenly pop-ups!
Hundreds of them!

I don't know how it happened, but I was watching my computer scan files, and then my laptop freaked out and spawned an army of pop ups on my desktop.

No Pics?

Oh and what kind of crappy scanner are you using? I presume that it triggered something hiding in the deep sticky recesses of your computers hard drive

I imagine the key words are "Never happened before" and [trigger].

I just saw a commercial for a Trojan Finger Vibrator for women... FINGER Vibrator. And it was on the Discovery Channel!

It featured two women speaking "discreetly" in public on the subject of vibrators, and how they are so large and ungainly when carried in purses or wallets or whatever. There was this creepy old lady listening in the background while they conversed deeply on the subject of vibrating "massagers". This was all hunky-dory until they were stumped by the issue of actually acquiring said device, and the old crone in the background informed them that she bought hers online. Good-hearted giggles ensued, and my innocence promptly died.

The worst part was that the lil' vibrator was only slightly differing in appearance from an actual penis, so it fell into a sort of "Phallic Uncanny Valley". Yeesh.

Sounds vibrant.

Is it Christmas yet, I want my presents.

Random thought: I hate when something is just absolutely hilarious at first, but becomes not funny at all eventually.

Also, Yodel, I lol'd.

I remember seeing a video on using a "joystick" with Gmod; is that a specific add-on, or is it built in? and would it work with a wired 360 controller?
