1, 2004 - Thanks All Around |
First of all, I would like to thank
Georgia Power. Yesterday your fine, highly trained technicians cut
power to all of Attapulgus (including my job site). I ended up
sitting in the dark for about two hours having to flowchart a
program using a pad and paper. The upside is that I did get to go
home a little early.
Secondly, thanks again to all those who visit my site. I had 880
hits in August which is almost double of what I had in July (453
hits) and quadruple the average of the previous 5 months (222 hits
a month). Thanks again and in the meantime, you keep hitting and
I'll keep BSing.
Also got a Mail
Call for you today.

2, 2004 - Retraction |
Ok, I don't do this often, but I felt
this was necessary. Yesterday I blamed, no thanked, Georgia power
for causing a power outage at work. Sorry, I was wrong because I
didn't have all the facts. Instead my "thanks" goes out
to some unknown person that was shooting a shotgun around power
poles in Fowlstown. And by shooting I mean the poles were shot
repeatedly. Good job man. Nothing like a little R&R to shutoff
power for almost 9 hours.

7, 2004 - I Survived |
Well peoples, I survived the remnants
of Hurricane Francis. Aside from a 14 hour power outage, some
heavy winds, and a lot of rain...I'm alive. Now give me my
t-shirt. Also, I learned a few things this weekend. First of all,
the field reporters on the Weather Channel are idiots. Secondly, I
live around a bunch of idiots who think its fun to shot off
fireworks in the middle of hurricane type weather. Finally,
sitting in the dark with just a flashlight is not fun.
Also, I'm adding a new feature
called Current Events. Its basically a summary of what I'm up to
this semester. Along those same lines, I've added a page
to track all of the red tape I have to go through to get in-state
at FSU. Finally, I've updated the FSU Football page
to reflect the Miami game postponement.

Yes!!! I never thought that I would live to see

beat actually meeting someone from that distant state, but there
was someone in the car and it had Wyoming plates. Because I mean,
seriously, how many have you met/know from there? Sadly, I didn't
have my camera on me, but I'm sure that person was a student on
campus. Oh yes, the hunt is on!

9, 2004 - Voices? |
So I opened my post office box yesterday and
this bright light shone forth. When I grabbed my mail, I noticed
that my Voter's Registration card was on top. Then I heard this
voice that was like, "Thou hast received thy last piece in thy
quest for in-state tuition. Now go forth and climb to the third
level in the Fortress of Admissions. There, ye shall find the
Baroness of Residency, who has within her power to grant thee
in-state-hood. Go in peace brave warrior and don't take no for an
answer." I swear, I better not get there and find this message
that says, "I'm sorry Joshua, but the residency is in another
castle." I updated my FSU In-State Status
page to reflect that change and I have a new
Mail Call of you today!
Somehow I missed this one the other day:

September 10, 2004 - Bingo! |
Sometimes I do have a little excitement with my
job. It all started with an idea I had. I would tell you more, but
its a trade secret. Anyways, part of my project involves me
retrieving the username of the currently logged on user and using
it to authenticate access on a webpage. Kind of like an auto-login
feature. Anyways, I could write a program in Visual Basic or C++
that would handle it, but those aren't really supported on a
webpage. So I tried VB Script, JavaScript, a custom ActiveX
control, and even a hint of PHP. Nothing would really do the trick
or make it transparent for the average user. But after days of
trying and searching the internet, I finally figured out how to do
it. I had one of them epiphanies. Long story short: one line of
VBScript, an Active Server Page, and two checkboxes on our
Internet Information Server. Now I can quit banging my head
against the wall and move on to my next challenge. Oh, and in case
you were wondering, I've never done web programming before.
Obvious right? Maybe some of it will end up on my website.

September 13, 2004 - First Annual Double Deuces Award |
Today boys and girls, we have a very special
update. I originally was going to post this around 1 AM on
Saturday, but I figured that no one would read it until today
anyways. So, back to the "specialness" of this post. Today, I am
pleased to announce the First Annual Double Deuces Award. I have
given a lot of thought as to who this award should go to. My first
thoughts were Osama Bin Laden, the 2004 Hurricane Season, or
Jacques Chirac, but they aren't quite deserving of
double
deuces. You see, you have to truly screw over people time and
time again and still think you are God's (or Allah's) gift to this world in the
process. Now, may I have the envelope please (insert drum roll
here). And the First Annual Double Deuces award goes to...none
other than #16 Chris
Rix of FSU!!! Yes, after screwing over 4 Miami games (the
latest with two interceptions, a couple of sacks, a fumble
that cost us the game, and that choking sound you hear on the
field), an Orange Bowl, and a Sugar Bowl, we give
you a double deuce salute!! May the fleas of a thousand camels
infest your armpits. (Actually, I had a trophy that I was
working on, but I don't have time to finish it right now.)

Not only did I have to endure watching Rix
crumble like a Jenga tower on the first move, but I had to suffer
through all the Georgia, Florida, and Miami fans that I work with.
However, most were in census that Rix sucks like a Hoover. And I
wish that I could take credit for
this, but I can't. At any
rate, FSU should take it like a man, bench Rix this season, and
build up our other three QBs to Heisman/National Champion status.
Then make Miami cry like a little girl.

September 15, 2004 - (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)^2 |
I love my job. I can't stress that enough young
people. Those of you still in school, relish every moment of your
slackness, laziness, and sleeping until 11:00 because your first
class is at noon. Just for the record, I envy you. What brings
this on you ask? Well, I left work yesterday and when I got home,
I decided that I would dial-in into work and check on things. I
made some changes to our company's intranet and I wanted to make
sure everything was still running. Well, it was half working. For
some reason a program that I was using was appending .htm to all
image files it downloads. Sounds strange huh? Yeah, that's what I
was thinking. So being the wonderful technician that I am, I
attempted to fix it. So three hours and one nap later, I've almost
got it fixed. I've tested it, its working great, and I just need
to put the finishing touches on it. BLIP! My connection died.
Strange...perhaps my internet farted in my apartment. Nope, that's
working great. So I try to talk to my servers in Attapulgus...no
answer. I try to ping the router...nothing. Somewhere in the
distance I hear Dr.McCoy from the old school Star Trek say, "Its
dead Jim." So, in honor of that, its

September 16, 2004 - Ivan "The Not So Quite Terrible Enough" |
Well, in a long string of pansy/I can't win
events, Ivan is just barely going to miss us. And by barely, I
mean just enough wind and rain to not cancel work. Now, don't get
me wrong boys and girls. I'm very thankful that I don't have to
evacuate. But if almighty President of FSU can pull his head out
of his butt long enough to peak at the weather and cancel class, I
think they can send all of the non-essential employees home from
work. And by non-essential, I mean all the hard working
Information Technology personnel who work tons of overtime and
deserve a little weather related break. I could probably get away
with it since they said, "Put your family and safety first."
before I left work yesterday. Then again, that sounds like those
"non-mandatory meetings" I have to go to. Either, put sand in your
shoes if you live in the path of Ivan.

September 17, 2004 - Awwww Right! |
Sniff, sniff...do you smell that boys and
girls...that would be game day. Oh yeah, the first home game of
the year is tomorrow. Sure, its against University of Alabama at Birmingham. Ok,
so their mascot looks like
Trogdor and our quarterback has a fear
of intimacy of the inzone. But that shouldn't matter...no...not at
all. Aside from the evacuees in Tallahassee, is going to be
nothing but fans flying their pride. Plus, they are supposed to be
unveiling a statue of Bobby or something grand like that. And I
have to be there for that since its practically history in the making.
Speaking of history, Rix is the first QB in the history of the
ACC to lose to the same team five times in a row. Way to go champ.
Did I mention the fact that he's starting tomorrow? Yeah, so I'll
quit ranting about that now and save the rest for
Monday...depending on the outcome of tomorrow's game.
In closing, I'm really sorry for the overall quality of the
postings the past few days. I've been extremely at work and with
school/homework stuff. Usually, I've been sitting at home slaving
away and realize that I haven't even thought about amusing you
guys...usually about 11:00 PM. So then I have to BS even more that
I normally do. Imagine that. So enjoy the weekend and try to stay
hurricane free.

20, 2004 - Burninated |
Happy Monday peoples. Overall it was a
very good weekend. We, of course, took UAB to the cleaners
Saturday night at the Doak. The Rix fans were out in force at the
stadium with the "Rix Happens" and "Rix 4:16 - We
lost to Miami again" t-shirts. By far my most favorite sign
was, "Charley, Francis, Ivan, Rix". And as predicated,
Rix got a thorough booing at the start of the game and at the
beginning of the 3rd quarter. Oh, and after that interception he
threw.
However, the fans were on their
feet and cheering when Bobby finally put Sexton in during the 4th.
The Tallahassee Mullet Wrap, I mean Democrat, quoted Bobby: "I
would hate to repeat, or say what I think about that [fans booing
Rix] because I'm such a sweet guy...Really, I loathe those kind of
people. That's them dadgum playmaker experts or whatever they
are...what's that game everybody plays...Playstation. They're
Playstation All-Americans up there. They think they know football
because they happen to see a television game...It'd be like me
watching Dr. Kildare and think I can operate on a brain."
Ouch Bobby, that really hurt. I've got almost as much videogame experience
as do you coaching at FSU. Plus, how can 80k+ fans be wrong?
Oh well, next week we face Clemson
in this year's Bowden Bowl. It will be interesting to see who wins
since his son's career isn't on the line this time. In closing, I
would like to thank Tennessee for doing something we always wish
we could do, slap a Gator and get positive yardage for it.

September
21, 2004 - This Isn't the Trilogy You're Looking For |
Today the classic Star Wars trilogy is released
on DVD. This is the moment that fans have been waiting for since
the advent of DVDs...or is it? First, let's take a trip back in
time. The year is 1997 and Star Wars is coming back to the big
screen after 20 years with a few minor changes. And by minor I
mean a complete screw over by George Lucas. The scene that enraged
the fans the most was Greedo shooting first. Lucas completely
dissed Han's image as a rogue/scoundrel. That would be like
putting John Wayne in a pink tutu and waving a target around. But
I digress. The point is that these aren't the movies that we grew
up watching and fell in love with. So
now his majesty has another chance to get it right and release the
Classic Trilogy in its unaltered form. And what does he do, he
makes a Special Special Edition. Yep, that's right. That sound you
hear is Lucas milking the teats of society for all it's worth. Let
me quote and translate a recent
interview Lucas did:
AP: Why did you change your mind and
decide to put the original three movies out on DVD now?
Lucas: Make your checks out to 'Cash Money'
baby. I also take credit cards. I'm not worried about piracy. I
just like to wipe my butt with Ben Franklin's face. Its better to
bring them out now, then a 6-movie boxed set, then a HD-DVD set,
then a mini-DVD boxed set, then a 3D-holographic set and so on.
Ch-Ching all the way to the bank!!!!
AP: Why did you rework the original
trilogy into the special-edition versions in the late 1990s?
Lucas: What...I'm sorry. I was thinking
about how I really suck and filmmaking but rule at marketing. Did
you say something about kneeling to kiss my ring? Anyways, So this
was my chance to finish it...again.
AP: Why not release both the
originals and special editions on DVD?
Lucas: OK, OK...I'll let you in on a little
secret. When I sold my soul one of the stipulations was that I
can't release the originals on DVD. However, the VHS tapes weren't
grandfathered in the contract. But I did go ahead and covert
them...you know...just because I can. I know that upsets my fans,
so you can throw 14-carat rocks at me...and gold bricks...don't
forget the gold.
AP: Do you pay much attention
to fan reactions to your choices?
Lucas: Fans...oh you must mean my
source of income. They all think outside the box...about 14
different box sets that is. Harharhar...I crack myself up. In
reality, I was hugged enough as a kid, so I can do what ever I
want.
AP: After "Episode
III," will you ever revisit "Star Wars"?
Lucas: Only if I pull a
Michael Jackson and I need more money.
I know that this is
long, but I swear that I'm almost finished. If you were looking
into getting the Special Special Edition trilogy, here are some
things that make this version more "special":
- The approach vector
of Luke's landspeeder to Mos Eisley has been, inexplicably,
changed.
- Greedo and Han now
shoot at the same time — which is still lame, but quite a bit
less lame than Greedo shooting first.
- The "Special Edition"
CGI Jabba in A New Hope has been reworked to hew far closer to
the look of Jabba in the other films — a significant improvement
to a still-unnecessary scene.
- The lettering on that
Death Star tractor-beam readout has been changed to that foreign
Star Wars glyph-alphabet.
- Lightsaber blades
have been retouched during the Vader/Kenobi duel so you can no
longer see the combatants holding non-glowing sticks in certain
shots.
- Ian McDiarmid now
replaces that hooded old woman in a mask (with monkey eyes and
Clive Revill's voice) as the holographic Emperor in Empire —
with new dialogue explicitly naming Luke Skywalker as both
Anakin's son and the lad who destroyed the Death Star.
- Temura Morrison, who
played Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, now voices Boba Fett
— though he doesn't voice the stormtroopers, whom one presumes
are still cloned from Jango's DNA.
- The color contrast
has been tweaked so that whenever anyone looks out a cockpit
window at a starfield, outer space now looks black rather than
dark-brown — a seemingly small change that really makes a
difference.
- The distracting matte
lines that always made the Rancor Pit sequence look so fake have
been smoothed over — another subtle change that quintuples the
believability of the scene.
- That weird black
squiggle that floats on the Emperor's hood, as well as several
matte squares around spacecraft, have not been digitally removed
— though they may have been minimized a bit through color
correction.
- The "Celebration
Scene" that closes Jedi now features a shot of Gungans dancing
funkily on the rooftops of Naboo, one of them shouting, I shit
you not, "Weesa free!" — also, the Galactic Senate and the Jedi
Temple have been added to that gorgeous pan across Coruscant.
- And finally, as many
feared, Hayden Christensen now stands alongside the far-older
Yoda and Alec Guinness as a Jedi Spirit in the closing moments
of the saga. Apparently Lucas either believes that Anakin died
briefly in Episode III or that your Jedi spirit reflects the
last moment where you were consistently good, or something. it's
a change that will divide fandom (or perhaps unilaterally piss
fandom off) for years to come.
So I'll leave it up to
you boys and girls. I will suggest this: If you are looking for
the Original Trilogy on DVD, look on EBay. People have taken the
laserdisc versions and converted them to DVD format. It won't be
as clean as the "new" ones, but it will be in virgin form. Please
note that these are getting hard to find and if you can't find
them, let me know.
In closing, Lucas can kiss my lily white tail.
That's the end of my
show...

22, 2004 - Bribery? |
I know that this happened before the
fact, but late last week I found out that I was picked to beta
test a new Star Wars game that is coming out in a few months. For
those you illiterate computer/gaming peoples, that means that I
get a copy of the game before everyone else to test and find bugs
in. So I'm trying to figure out if Lucas had someone on the inside
who knew that I was working on that rant for yesterday or if it
was just a coincidence . Another theory is he felt a disturbance
in the force, as if a million fans had reached a new level of
pisstivity. Anyways, consider that your forewarning if you come
over to my apartment and you end up getting a lie detector test
because in my book, there's no such thing as a coincidence. And in
case you were wondering, the game isn't too shabby at all.
In other news, yes I do have a
backlog of updates for the website. So if you've emailed me, sent
me articles, or looking for more features, they are coming. Well,

23, 2004 - National Security Leak |
You know, you have to love the overall
stupidity of the mass media. I really think they should rename CNN
to something like, "Terrorist Information Network." I
was watching the news the other day and the anchors were talking
about the threat of a dirty bomb going off during the Presidential
Conventions. They went on to say something like this, "So
what is a dirty bomb? Its when you take low-grade plutonium or
nuclear waste and combine it with conventional explosives like dynamite.
The overall effect is 25-50 square miles of nuclear contamination.
Of course, that's nothing like the Oklahoma City Bombing where
they used diesel fuel and a fertilizer compound." Why
don't you just list places to get radioactive waste, technical schematics,
and variable wind speeds for different cities while you're at it!!
That's almost as bad a Geraldo Riveria drawing a map in the sand
of their location in Iraq. "Hey Iraqis, I'm embedded in a
military unit which is located here. X marks the spot for all you
viewers." Anyways, this whole rant was actually inspired by
the cover of a
recent Time magazine. Personally, I think it should have said this.
Yeah it
is! BTW, the other website mentioned is run by a Mac user...go

Now this is a tough memory game.

24, 2004 - Hurricanes?! |
Man! What is up with the weather lately? You've
got Hurricane Jeanne in the Atlantic that was heading out to sea.
But then she stopped, looked up directions on MapQuest, and is now
heading for FL. Karl, being a guy, didn't ask for directions and
will probably end up in Iceland...sadly not France. Then there's
our old friend Ivan. He picked up a NASCAR thing or two from
Alabama and decided to loop around for another lap. Who knows what
Lisa's going to do. Speaking of hurricanes, I had another possible
solution for getting rid of them: Tampons of Doom.
Think about it. Hurricanes are like women
during that special time. They are bloated and have a severe case
of water retention. And the high winds that whine and howl
and leaving a trail of destruction/people in tears. So that means
you can buy a box of Tropical Depression, Tropical Storm, or
Hurricane Strength tampons. Maybe Hurricane Season is just Mother
Earth's time of the month. I don't know...but I'm going to leave
this rant right here.
Also, we play Clemson tomorrow. We'll see
how that's going to go. Rix is about a consistent as wind
direction. Plus when you throw in the family ties with Clemson and
our need to win an ACC Conference game to say in the race, its
going to be interesting. I'm sure you'll hear about it on Monday.
H'ok. Its been a very busy today. Yes, I
know its late in the day, but I'm jacking into the wireless
Internet at a hospital in Dothan, AL. My grandmother is having
surgery today so most of my family is here. So yes, this posting

27, 2004 - Score One for the Home Team |
As promised, here is a recap of this weekend:
Man, what a weekend! Not only did we beat
Clemson (41-22) in this year's Bowden Bowl, but I also got on ABC as one
of the crazy fans. I knew there was a reason that I wore my
jersey. Then, on top of
that, EA Games was there filming fan footage for NCAA Football 2006 and I
got that as well. Score! And the cherry on my ice cream was when Rix
got a twisted ankle in the 1st and Sexton played for the rest of
the game. Bonus! Needless to say, Sexton played a rocking good
game. However, we did play like crap and Clemson should not have
gotten that many points, especially having the same Clemson player
run a kick off back for a touchdown...twice. On another sad note,
I got to miss the unveiling of the golden calf, I mean the statue
of Bobby at the North end of the Doak on Friday.
Thanks to all those who attended a rather sweet
after game party at Chez RT/Joshua. Question: Why is that between
RT and I we have about 80 NES games and all ya'll want to do is
play Super Mario Bros 3? Not that that's a bad thing...just an
observation. Be proud...a guy just made an observation.

28, 2004 - Amazing |
The sheer brilliance of the administration at
FSU is quite simply amazing. We've had three hurricanes and one
tropical storm pass over this great state's capital. One hurricane
was a dud (Bonnie) and the other two (Francis and Ivan) really
wasn't all that bad for us, thankfully. In the best interests of
the student population, we got a day off for the two hurricanes.
However, when a tropical storm (Jeanne) dumps more wind and rain
on Tally than the two hurricanes combined and knocks out power
everywhere than the two hurricanes combined...we have to go
school. Yes! So lets allow 30,000+ students to flood the roadways
and intersections with out traffic lights! Ok, so I really didn't
have anything much for today...been a slow week already. Power and
cable/internet outages will do that to you.

29, 2004 - State of the Website Address |
Just thought that I would drop by today boys
and girls and give you a little State of the Website Address. I've
got some (what I think to be) some awesome things in store for the
site. There is one mucho huge feature that I'm coding my hiney off
(literally, its gone) for...so you better like it or else. I've
still got some fan mail that I need to get around to writing back
to. Also, just for the record, I've about decided that my woman's
section is a waste of my precious web space. For as emotional as
most books and jokes make ya'll out to be...I haven't got
anything. In fact, I've gotten more promises than a politician can
dish out and even less on the follow-through. I don't want to hear
you sorry excuses either. I work full time, go to school, attempt
to have a life and I still have time to conjure up enough BS for a
daily posting. So talk to the hand ladies...or sum it up in an
email and send it to me. You too can rant by following these
simple steps:
- Get fired up. I know it isn't that hard
cause apparently it doesn't take much (I would know).
- Open your favorite email client and crank
up an email.
- Put this in the To field:
webmaster@joshuastarling.com
- Type away until your heart is content.
- Press that new fangled Send button.
- Sit back, relax, and have a girlie drink
on me.
In closing, you if you can't complain or
write about something...then you probably shouldn't vote this
November. Ouch! That was a low blow wasn't it? I do believe so.
Joshua 1 - Ladies 0. This ranting was paid for
by joshuastarling.com and approved by Joshua.
How many trees must you
hug to justify your
existence? I've got to hug about 19 acres worth.
Dude,
this
will keep you busy for hours.
If you read the entire
article,
I don't think drinking alcohol was his problem.
Oh man, I have to get one of
these for my apartment.
Battle
Pong.
Ummm...I was...err...no where near
Oregon. |

30, 2004 - A Special Word from the Senior |
Boys and girls, it isn't often that I let
someone pinch post for me. In fact, its never happened. But today,
you are about to see history in the making. Originally, this was
going to be part of my post yesterday, but it was too good for me
to share the rant with. Yes, my rant was not worthy.
The following is an unpaid advertisement for
joshuastarling.com approved by the good Captain:
Since July we here at joshuastarling.com have strived to empower
the women and bring forth a new era of equality to the internet.
Apparently we grossly overestimated the intelligence and
creativity of our female audience. Over the past few months we
have received empty promises with zero follow through. This has
only helped to fuel the perception that women are only good for
making more men and cooking us dinner. Joshua and I have strived
to free our female readers from this bondage, but they have been
content to wallow in their own stereotypical mediocrity. We ask,
no we plead, that you (our female readers) step away from the
stove for a moment and let your voices be heard.
With Much Love,
Captain MattAnd on a completely
unrelated subject,
30.42% of the people that used a search engine to find my site
used "rix happens". I realize that was a completely useless and
random fact...but you know that it's funny,
Just make sure you
read the FAQ on potato bugs. A site after my own heart.
Give a go at this nifty puzzle type
game.
There is a
lesson to be learned here fo sho.
This is the most ghetto, nerdy
thing I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot.
I love it when people use new technology to
make old school
games.
Was it really
worth
£900? |
