Welcome to the brown age of computing.
2026-07-27 FFS Fuck the insurance industry. It would be nice if there was a way for me to pay money on a semi-regular basis in exchange for help when bad things happen. But there is no industry that does that, only an industry that values money over all else.
These are some of the thoughts that fell out of my head. ---------- 2026 * 2026-07-27 FFS * 2026-07-16 I Tried Gemcities * 2026-06-05 Park West Sucks * 2026-06-02 Fuck The Legal And Real Estate Industries * 2026-03-20 Stardew Valley Gold Rollover * 2026-03-19 Pissed Off At Google Too * 2026-01-23 Pissed Off At Wendy's * 2026-01-04 FreeBSD Forums Support For pf Specifically 2025 * 2025-12-18…
I Tried Gemcities In late June 2026 I heard about Gemcities and decided to give it a shot. I got corbomite.gemcities.com and made a handful of posts that were really more of a daily diary type thing than the typical rant or instructional snork.ca posts. I tried to be pretty consistent but the lack of styling is too minimal for me. I like to think I am pretty minimal, but something like inline…
2026-07-15 Banks Lawyers And Wankers Buying a house is such a stressful process. The lawyers and banks as totally unhelpful... but the landlord I am leaving behind is a total asshole. Why do people have to be so shitty?
2026-07-13 We See Things Differently Seriously. If you ask me about a box, and I pickup the box to see exactly what is in the box, I just might be paying attention to what you are talking about. If I am talking about "almost anything" and you aer flipping through thumbnails of YouTube videos about hairdressing, I might not think you are paying attention to what I am takling about.
2026-07-11 A Relaxing Day I spent today working on Guild Wars (and not much more)... my Devona hero in Pre-Searing specifically. It seems to me that she could be pretty powerful with the new weapons, armour, and skills that are available to her here.
2026-07-10 Fuck Brave Origin So it appears as though Brave is not only leaking DNS queries, it is also leaking my real IP address. What a piece of shit.
2026-07-09 What A Day Actually spent most of today hangin' out with Mike. Nice. Electricity was on when I got there, but water was off when Mike arrived and tested it. Water came on later though and we watched Captain Ron. Slumlord said they would be sending out an update about the flooding either today or tomorrow that could change my mind about an August 31st termination date. No email arrived…
2026-07-08 Administrative Stuff Boring shit today like mailing rent, mailing the old cable modem, and communicating with the insurance guy. I guess the good news is that the mini-freezer I ordered is on the way. Update: The mini-freezer is here. It is also a very sad day. The insurance industry are shitheads, the ISP industry are shitheads, and humans are monsters.
