Month: March 2005

As you can see by this lenghty forum thread, my old server, which is supposed to be up until the end of the month, will be suffering some downtime in a couple days thanks to the actions of a poorly-managed webhost who bought out my former host. I’ve long since moved my sites (including this one) to a new server, so this site won’t go down. Since I’m primarily using the old server for storage, and it’s paid through the end of the month, I’m going to mirror some stuff there that I’ve had sitting on my hard drive that I think is pretty funny. If you have a file that you want mirrored there or a funny video you want me to plop there, let me know.

Note that these links could go down at any time, so don’t whine to me if it doesn’t work. They should, in theory, be up at least for another six days. Have fun downloading, and share the links (I’ve got about 75 gigs to kill in six days).

• A great Simpsons couch gag (10 meg Quicktime).
• Star Wars Episode 3 Parody Trailer (30 meg Quicktime, but hilarious)
• A mirror of that Skeleton Puppet video, NHL Hockey plea for help, that weird crash game and simple grid game, that I posted about here, here, here, and here.
• A picture of my naked wife.
• A guy who swears a lot while playing games.
• Some idiots trying tow a car out of a snow bank (14 megs).
• That impressive breakdancing VW Golf GTI commercial.
• Bush’s one-finger salute.
• Denis Leary’s Infamous A**hole song and his rant about Beer, Coffee, and The Pope (Buy his DVD, folks, he’s hilarious).

That’s all for now, more to come later if I get any submissions or find anything else on my hard drive that I feel like posting. Like I said, these links will probably die in a few days, so enjoy them while you can.

Again, let me be clear: UtterlyBoring.com is not going anywhere. I’m on a new, meaty server with a good Web host, and I’m just trying to take advantage of some extra space and bandwidth that I have sitting there unused elsewhere.

Update at 3:30: Apparently the old server is down for one reason or another. I’ve got a support ticket in there, as I’m paid through the month and I’d better get my month’s worth, so we’ll see. I’ll keep you posted.

Update at 3:50: Old server appears to be running again. Don’t know what was going on.

Update on 3/26 @ 1:00: The old server were taken down yesterday, as planned, but it’s not back up in the 11 hours like they planned — it’s going on 18 now. There’s a nice thread over at Web Hosting Talk about this whole mess. Hopefully everybody will be able to download again in a few hours.

Update on 3/27 at 7:00am: Looks like things are back up again — 48 hours (or more) later. Idiots. Boy am I glad I don’t have to deal with those morons.

This is why I love The Simpsons (at least the older episodes). During the opening credits, something is always different. They end with a different couch scene, and begin with Bart writing something different on the chalkboard for punishment. Now the latter have been archived here for your viewing pleasure.
