Rantings, mostly…

I got the high score on the high difficulty (next was “impossible”) level of QWERTY Warriors just now — although I’m sure it won’t last.

The only thing that I REALLY want to know is this…

The other high scorers — did they finally just quit, or did they actually lose?  Because I quit.  My wrists and forearms were starting to hurt.

In case, I get booted down a notch, I’ve uploaded a screen shot as well.

P.S.  I’ll try the impossible level when my hands stop burning.

Oh yeah, don’t I feel special.  I finally got my HTC Touch yesterday.

Interesting little device, although it is a bit lackluster.  I really don’t know what the hell I expected out of a Pocket PC, but I mean, I guess it’s good — what do I have to compare it to?

*shrugs*

It seems that DreamHost has opted to ditch Gallery in lieu of zenphoto when they rollout their newest patches/updates to their One-Click Installs.

…and dammit, I couldn’t be happier.  In software development and software testing “we” call software like Gallery one thing — bloatware.

Granted, I’ve used Gallery since its inception and in fact, it’s all I’ve ever used, but you better believe I wish I had a better alternative and the time to invest learning it.  In fact, Gallery made me gun shy — that’s right.

So afraid to try anything new for fear it would be as horribly confusing as it was.  Well, I may not be much smarter, but I’m definitely much braver.

I’ll be seeing what is in the works for porting existing pictures — despite zenphoto only having a Web interface thus far.

Sorry Gallery, but you won’t be missed.

Well, that’s assuming he had only one…

But what bugs me most about this is the fact his Web site STILL doesn’t have anything on it about the death of his daughter.

Considering the dumb bastard has been jailed for failure to pay child support, I’m not surprised that nothing about the loss of his daughter has made it to his site that promotes his music.  Does you make wonder though doesn’t it?

“Hrrmm… my album only made me $25,000,000 this year — guess I’ll skip the child support!”

Well, to the little 4 year old angel, Jelani — RIP.

From a direct quote on the page, “It’s heartbreaking to us that someone would do this to the site.”

I cannot agree more.  Why in the hell would someone hack a site dedicated to helping cheap software movements (mostly free)!?  Oh, that’s right… because virus writers have nothing to do with their pathetic permanently fused to their chairs, lives.

I mean, I went through a small phase of “virus” writing — the joke kind, and the “Haha, you trusted me ph00l, now you’re pr0n is gone!” kinds, but never this “My baby must propagate to the ENTIRE world so that I can spend the rest of my life in prision!  Moo har har!” kinds.

The problem is such widespread ignorant use of valid “hacking” tools being employed by everyone and their 11 year old brother or sister.  Or the retard little hackling (script-kiddie) who desperately wants to be a “hack4r” and proceeds to (hopefully) impress others by utilizing one of the most mundane, and idiotic (although sadly, extremely prolific) routines of exploiting old or abandoned software.

So here is my final thought on the culprits — either you’re retarded or you are a stupid child.  Otherwise, you might be smart enough to say, “Hey, I think you need me on your team — I’ve something to show you.”  If no one wants to reward you for your efforts (although nefarious in nature) then screw it — do what you feel you have to.

But I know damn well DonationCoder (and gang) would have gladly accepted you or made things worth your while if they didn’t.

This rant was made possible by parentheses.

OK, so am I the only retard who pre-ordered this?  I mean, seriously, it was fan-freakin-tastic!

Not to mention it comes with TONS of goodies:

3D fight scene
3D glasses (duh!)
Blue Harvest booklet
Collector’s box and commemorative keep case
Trading cards
T-shirt

Anyway, I always buy from Deep Discount.  They’re normally cheaper than everywhere else, and then throw in free shipping and handling and no tax, pfft… nuff’ said.
