People Are Dumb

This is the last time I’m saying this. I cannot help you cancel your AOL account, nor can I help you get in touch with Michael Jackson (nor do I know anything about his plastic surgery habits).

People are dumb, they really are.

World Domination

My goal of world domination is almost complete. I’m now in the top 2 for “ortman,” #1 for “utterly” and “boring“. Just need to hit the front page for “jake” and my plan will be complete.

Random Search Referrals

Apparently I’m the number one result for i want a penis on Google. I’m the number two result for “cell phone with vibrator,” number three for “10 pound hamburger,” number one for “invisible movie characters,” and number nine for “long penis.”

I really need to quit looking at my referral logs. Those hits came in the last few hours, so I can only imagine what I’d find if I dug around a bit.

I’m Getting Porn Traffic

My New 404 Error Page

Inspired by this blog post, I’ve decided to change my 404 error page from this typing version to this simple, funny bunny.

Slow Blogging

Busy as heck today and tomorrow. Linkage will be sparse, despite my massive amount of flagged links in my folders. On another note, since my trades bailed, I’m still looking to trade a GameBoy Advance SP for a PDA, 512 meg DDR SO-DIMM, or a Radeon or better All-In-Wonder. E-mail me.

Sorry About The Downtime

I needed to rebuild Apache to fix a security hole, and I had to rebuild it twice because I forgot curl in the build the first time around. All things should be working again now.

Finally Got Around To It

I’ve joined the 21st Century and have finally gotten around to installing MT-Blacklist. I had my breaking point last night when I had to remove about 90 comments. So it’s installed now. I’m still considering a move to WordPress or MT 3.0, but I’m certainly not doing 3.0 until MT-Blacklist works with it.

If anybody cares, my blacklist is here.

Gmail Contest Winners

We had a tie for first place in my contest, and both folks linked to my site, getting them 25 points. I also had two people tied for 7th (and I agree to give out a Gmail invite for 7th) so I had a couple extra Gmail invites, so both of the first places will be getting three invites and both of the 7th place folks will be getting one. Here’s how the scoring for the invites rounded up:

  1. Hollie Rockwell: 25 Points 1st Place, Three Gmail Invites, All questions right plus link from her blog (which I’ve lost the link to, unfortunately — crap).
  2. Carson Monetti: 25 Points 1st Place, Three Gmail Invites, All questions right plus link from his blog.
  3. Bill R: 24 Points 3rd Place, One Gmail Invite, Missed one question, but got the link from his blog.
  4. Karen Martwick: 23 Points 4th Place, One Gmail Invite, Missed One Question.
  5. Brad McAlister: 22 Points 5th Place, One Gmail Invite, Missed Two Questions.
  6. Rick Mogstad: 20 Points 6th Place, One Gmail Invite, Missed Four Questions.
  7. Mark Turner: 19 Points 7th Place, One Gmail Invite, Missed Five Questions.
  8. Dave: 19 Points 7th Place, One Gmail Invite, Missed six questions, but linked from his blog.

There were about six more that entered that didn’t make the top seven. Thanks to everybody for playing, and you’ll be receiving your invites shortly at the e-mail addresses that you e-mailed me from.

The original contest page has been updated with the correct answers.

On another Jeopardy note, Ken Jennings has now won 18 matches in a row with $601,760.

Gmail Contest Deadline Coming Up
