Classic DF – 12/14/99

Dec. 14, 1999: DF News– I’ve settled my differences with Marlin and he apologized to Melissa and I. I accepted. End of story. Red Raven will be returning as a manager to his home store. Rock is back and he has posted his latest lyrics. Sexiestar has moved into her new house. Mermaid is considering his latest video card purchase. I’m going to be posting the revamped DF web page somewhere short of Dec. 29th. Also, you should see new songs posted somewhere during that time. World NewsCharles Schultz in light of his cancer diagnosis is retiring his Peanuts cartoon by mid-January. Cuban Nationals are demanding deportation to Cuba and won’t take no for answer… they got hostages. Can dead children attend school? They can if you live in New York. A blood transfusion has cured a boy of sickle cell anemia, a big step towards eradicating the disease. The U.S. government is begging hackers not to cause any havoc during the Y2K roll over as they’ll have enough problems to deal with, um… do they think hackers care? Much as I suspected when I passed through a interrogation checkpoint in Warwick, a fatal crash was the result of some idiot(s) in the area removing several stop signs… people are such assholes. MTV will be airing a NIN live concert Dec. 21st followed by a Trent interview. Check out Suckdot news, a great spoof of Slashdot. Media Fusion has patented high speed Internet access via power lines and we’re talking one gigabyte per second speeds! SkyDSL will begin beaming 4Mbs streams via satellite in France. By pulling down the Babylonian Virus homepage the virus is dead… hopefully no one will re-post the site. CERT is saying that ssH secure shell is not hack proof… no REALLY! Any predictions for Y2K? I’ve been wondering what the popular opinion about what’s going to happen is. E-mail with your predictions. And as always… Mel I luv u 🙂

Classic DF – 12/7/99

Dec. 7, 1999: I promised Daemon Immoratlis I’d make fun of Marlin to cheer him up (poor Immy is still sick), so… he’s a dork. On to the news! For those of you who think it is only Midwestern kids who shoot up schools, Holland is having the same problem now too. Cuba claims that the US is holding a child found floating in the Atlantic Ocean hostage and they demand we send him back… okay if you say so 🙂 The Russians are still trying to take over Chechena (didn’t they learn anything about Vietnam from us?). Newflash: Teens who drink and use drugs are more likely to have sex… obviously the people who take these polls never belonged to a frat or else this would be common sense. The Babylonian virus is out, chatters beware! Microsoft isn’t the only one in trouble for antitrust violation, Apple of Japan has been brought up on monopoly charges. People who fear Echelon… relax, the NSA says they’d never use it on a US citizen (ummmm…). IBM wants to build a machine to figure out protein structures; sounds peachy. NIN just finished their new video for “Into the Void”. A court ruling says that Providers can’t be held for volatile content. Lego has been declared the toy of the century, ohhhh! The IE5.5 Beta is now out, download here. As far as DF’s revamped web page I’ve been playing with several formats and even showed one to Rock… he seemed okay with it (but it wasn’t like he did a jump for joy or anything). Look for the new Y2K compatible (sort of) DF2K to premiere at the end of December (coincidentally in time for the Year 2000 ohhhh:) In the mean time to keep the natives quiet I’ve removed the status bar Java crawler.

Classic DF – 12/6/99

Dec. 6, 1999: Without inciting more of a riot then it is worth, Marlin’s Place named me one of two “Dimwits” of the year. Of course, as is typical response, he took it down after a while. However, I am flattered by the award and take to heart to know that I was described by Marlin that what, “…(he) didn’t know however, is that (he) had just tossed a road flare onto a puddle of gasoline”. I stand by the fact that DigitalFl00d may be the last so called “news” pages to keep its posts up. Yes, I stand by my word and I never delete an entry. For as fanatical as it may sound I really believe what I say here. So proudly I stand by my co-celebrant (okay, maybe not proudly… never the less) Korpios as a Dimwit. Blind to the truth (or at least too firm in my position for Marlin’s liking). Either way Melissa‘s got my back and well… that’s all that matters. For a wife is just not “your woman”, she is your compatriot and companion. The one you trust with everything. Your one true love. A couple days ago while driving somewhere in my “pinto” (it’s a ZX2 damn it… you know the car that beat several family sedan in acceleration!). That stupid “Sun Screen” song come on 92.3FM K-rock NY’s Solid State program. I kept hearing the line, “If your life is miserable… this is as good as it gets”. Wow, and they say Marilyn Manson is nihilist! What a depressing load of crap. I’ve learned one lesson in life: Stick by your guns. If some one thinks your wrong and every one else thinks your right. Hell, if you just darn well know your right… stick with it. As soon as I started believing in myself that is when things turned around and contrary to popular songs– life got better. Respect is only gained by others when you respect yourself first. I truly believe that good karma starts from within and works its way out. Who knows? Maybe one day you too can live as happily as I do… or at least get a Dimwit of the Year award 🙂

Classic DF – 12/3/99

Dec. 3, 1999: Noteworthy News: NASA has landed on Mars with a space craft that will “hear” what Mars sounds like… sort of. A promising new drug seems to eliminate leukemia, a big step towards eradicating cancer. A new cookie “hole” has been found in e-mail. The Free PC movement has flopped on its face. Chanukah starts at sun down this evening. EarthLink has a hole in its software. Germany may ban Windows 2000, but not due to monopoly problems… we’re talking religion here. Keep an eye on the stock market… it just capped 11, 000 plus as the NASDAQ continues to soar. Look for an early pull out around Christmas (no pun intended) and another normalization period… maybe 🙂 That’s if Y2K doesn’t obliterate us, LOL. DF 10990 News: Marlin’s Place features a response to yesterday’s post… big surprise. And as predicted (maybe I’m physic too) he denied everything and got pissy. Of course, innocent people don’t get pissy, but then again he may not be exactly innocent after all, hmmmmm. The lesson to be learned Sam: don’t open your big fucking mouth if you don’t have anything interesting to say (BTW I didn’t say anything to anyone… however, I forgot you trust the whore who screwed you over again and again over the people who had your back while she was doing it). Mervernation makes sense of the the whole auto industry trend towards rice burners and ummmm… he’s right. Melissa defends me over on her news page, but more importantly she has been sober for over seven months today. Once again I’m proud of her and love her with all my heart 🙂 Rock‘s web page is still down, but you got to dig that white on white motif! Speaking of Rock and his server I’ve come to a conclusion. I’m ready to make a public statement on DF’s opinion on Jeph.Net‘s future. In recent days Tom has added his Korpios.Net. I see he has moved his stuff around. Undoubtedly, rumors have been flying that he is mad at Marlin and Red Raven for attempting to oust him. Jeff has let me know that Tom is a necessity to this web page’s continued service. Immortalis asked me if I was backing Tom the other day. So here is the response: I’m backing DF.com. It’s Jeff’s server so I leave it to Jeff to make the decision on what to do. Either way the virtual domain for azazel.digitalflood.com won’t get registered. And frankly almost every person has become as trust worthy as another with a few exceptions (you know who you are). I only wish that Immy’s web page was restored… and one day I hope that will come to pass. Clearly now the enemy is not one person. Nor is it one side, but multiple fragmented fights. I grow tired of the infighting. The hate mail. The eggs on my car (Jesus can’t you people grow up?). The accusations. The stupid posts back and forth. The dumb ass opinions of a bunch of ummmmm…. dumb ass opinion people 🙂 I’d rather focus on my marriage, my wife, my family, and my job then on them. So I will continue to work on a revamped DF.com Portal. I will continue to develop a new interface. And yes, I will continue to decimate the news to the masses that matters. BTW Tom… I got dibs on Warwick 10990… hell, I coined the phrase… And that is what I will continue to do… piss everyone off! Stay tuned for our next post when in our upcoming holiday post Mel and I will be conquering a small third world country…

Classic DF – 12/2/99

Dec. 2, 1999: Noteworthy News: WTO has turned into some kind of sixties style rally. Clinton has used the convention to attempt to stop child labor. Liberals are pissed. Ummm… I think the main problem is their wasn’t enough good programming this season on television to occupy time better wasted. A Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial has been proposed, which may be the only way black man in Washington next in line to a president, LOL. If DF.com has got you all ready to post your music to the net as the next big thing and a way into instant stardom, you may want to read this first 🙂 New Zealand has elected a new government… did I mention that one of the members of Parliament is transgendered… boy does that hit home. Yesterday was World AIDS Day (their is nothing funny about that). Want to feel stupid… click here. Guess what, another rap artist is in trouble... I believe it was Tupac Shukar who said, “You can’t put money in someone’s hands and expect them to act like they aren’t from a ghetto when the gutter is all they ever knew.” Brittney Spears is now legal for those pedophiles out there who are interested… I guess it’s back to obsessing about the Olsen twins for you guys. Another lovely rant essay at Suck.com. Not So Noteworthy DF News: God, say you’ll revamp and they e-mail. Okay, I get the picture, sheesh! Check out the mystery post for Dec. 1st on Marlin’s Place. I believe it is a response to my Nov. 30th post. If what you are implying Sam is that I pointed fingers… I haven’t said who it is yet. And if your wondering if I’m going to seek police action at this point with no proof of guilt (to the best of your knowledge)… all I want to know is who is guilty? What are you trying to say? Are you admitting unlawful carnal knowledge (knowing it before it be known to the public in other words)? Or are you trying to be some sort of ass kissing escape goat hero with an alibi to someone? Who? What are you talking about? Um, to put it bluntly who are you trying to save? I know what you’re saying… that’ s not what that post meant… maybe what you’re really saying is that I’m trying to be vague and mysterious. That your some kind of dark avenger of evil that can vile and degrade you without proof. That’s mature? I quote now: Note to certain individuals, immature actions beget immature actions, however, alibi’s suck, so point your fingers elsewhere. Amazing how the most mature show their true colors so easily. What immature actions? What did I do to who? Are you saying that a certain event sparked this? Are you saying that Dorothy Sharpe is to blame? Are you admitting guilt? Your web page has been saved and noted… Here is the lesson: Knowledge is power definitively, but maturity is knowing how to use that power best.
