Greatest Quote Ever
Posted by Erundur Anwamehtar on August 6th, 2007, at 11:11pm

From Fake Steve Jobs at The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs:

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Cell phone carriers suck. They’re orifices. They’re yet another example of an industry that thrives only by exploiting customers and treating them like $^&%. Lock-in, two-year contracts, screwing you on every little feature. Damn. Someday, I hope not too long from now, we are going to look back on this era of wireless telecom in horror, not believing we ever had to put up with such bull@#$%.

Right on, dude, right on. For a caricature, he knows what he’s talking about.

I Got Schooled Like a Man-Child

Because Jake asked, I spent about five hours tonight turning the quotes back on. They got jacked up when I moved servers many months ago and I hadn’t bothered to fix them yet. Now, however, I’ve installed some things on the server I needed and rewrote some of the code in order to get them back and running. You can see them in the sidebar when you visit the site and I’ve also set up a fancy page where you can view all the quotes.

As before, they automatically refresh to a random quote ever 24 hours unless I step in and pick a specific quote.

Enjoy.

Three sooth, forsooth, five sooth

I’m posting this one for the daily fans. waves at Jenny

Some computers aren’t worth fixing. That’s all I have to say. “Uhm… it’s jacked up beyond all recognition and we’ll have to reinstall Windows.” She’s gonna buy some new hardware though and perhaps Windows XP, so it’ll end up in better shape than it is. Yay.

Word is that Unreal Tournament 2004 is cool. DP recommends it and Justin was playing it today, too.

Oh, and I found out today that Luebbe’s birthday is on March 8. So much for his goal of hiding this year. I could still forget, but I can look it up on here if need be. So if you’re reading this and know him, make sure you tell him happy birthday this year.

D. Patras: “I buy cheap purses, too.”

Another Nav Nite Gone
Posted by Erundur Anwamehtar on January 31st, 2004, at 12:30pm

Last night was only the second Nav Nite I’ve been to this semester (out of three). I enjoyed it quite a lot. More than anything, I enjoyed being around my friends. I got to sit next to the venerable Jesse Luebbe and the wonderful Cora (both of whom are featured prominently in the quotes).

At dinner yesterday I discovered that I could interpret Jesse’s expressions to a third party. I was amused and so was he. I guess that’s one of the benefits of living around a person for so many years.

Nav Nite Message Summary: Don’t waste the opportunities you have, because life is short. Live for God and tell others about him.

After Nav Nite, six of us packed into Misty’s car and headed down to The Mill. Didn’t get anything to drink (I figure on being broke until at least 2007), but I played cards with The Varv, Cora, and Brian (an Edge member visiting from UNK). Brian and I ended up winning in a “winner-takes-all” hand playing 10-point Pitch.

After my initial dissapointment with having to take another three credits of arts/humanities to graduate, I’m not too angry about it. In all honesty, it’s a mistake of my own that caused me to still need that class. I’ve still got to hammer out the details, but I’m hoping they’ll still let me go through the ceremony in May, then I’d take a three week History of Rock & Roll class, and then Florida for a Navigator’s Summer Training Program.

I’ll let you know how it works out. (And maybe those CDs I ordered in December will finally get here today!!!)

As a final piece of joy and cheer, I leave you with the newest addition to the quote database: “My purity today has been compromised by a naked orange.” - Jesse Luebbe
