FTP File Settings
Or read single posts for that matter?
Well, if you’re familiar with FTP file permissions and Owner/Group settings, you’ll see something a lot different in the above image. Yea, “WTF?” is what I said too.
All this time I was completely unaware that nobody could enter any pages to comment. If somebody followed the link to a certain post, they found themselves looking at an Error 500.
Whatever my host did it caused my .htaccess file to barf up the web pages and cause the permalinks to go FUBAR.
I’ve striped the .htaccess down and just added the basic code from Wordpress and will add the other stuff I want later on.
I don’t know what the fuck my host is doing but their tinkering around all the time is really pissing me off. It seem sthat every other day there is another fucking problem or some other change that they never bother to consult with the users about first.
If you find any thing strange happening on the site, please let me know. I would really appreciate it. That way I can just submit one MASSIVE ticket and have them work at fixing their fuck up instead of creating new ones.
This would also explain why I haven’t seen any hits on single pages lately and why my Google Revenue has stopped over the past few days. (No I’m not going to ask for compensation because I don’t want to waste my time when I already know the outcome of that situation.)
I would apologize, but it is not my fault. If you want to complain, then let THC know.

Office 2007
I don’t know what it is, but it seems that when ever I am someplace that uses Office 2007 or similar, people always come to me for help.
It’s usually very simple things. Simple things like, “Hey John. Do you know anything about Office? Can you show me how to make a table?”
They always ask me things like, how do I indent, change font size, color, or the font face. The list goes on and on.
I don’t have a problem showing them, because I always look for the old classic tool tips and menu options when I go to show them. Plus I use a lot of shortcut keys to access features in the program. Shortcut keys a lot of regular computer users use everyday in programs that require you t o use both mouse and keyboard at the same time.
One place I worked even had the people that had to use the programs all the time go for training. The company paid for a group of people to go and get trained.
This price is way cheaper than you spent on training first of all and the program software wont hog a lot of precious hard drive space either!
It’s simple to install as is most software these days and you don’t need a technician to do that for you.
Sorry Office instructors, but this will probably put you all out of work, because it is a lot easier to work with the classic menus in my opinion, and your entitled to it.

North Korea
Is it just me, or does anybody else find North Korea’s actions lately a bit concerning?
After the UN tried so very hard to dismantle and bury so many nuclear missiles, these ass hats in North Korea go and pull this shit.
If things keep heading in the direction they’re going now. There will sure to be an all out war I bet.
What is it with these tiny countries?
Tens of thousands of North Koreans shouted slogans to denounce international sanctions at a rally in central Pyongyang on Thursday, as the communist country vowed to enlarge its atomic arsenal and warned of a “fire shower of nuclear retaliation” in the event of a U.S. attack.
It’s almost as if they WANT the US to attack. All these statements coming from them sound like they’re just trying to provoke the US into war.
The new U.N. resolution – passed to punish Pyongyang after its May 25 nuclear test – seeks to clamp down on North Korea’s trading of banned arms and weapons-related material by requiring U.N. member states to request inspections of ships carrying suspicious cargo.
North Korea has said it would consider any interception of its ships a declaration of war.
Don’t you just find that crazy?!
It’s like a little chiwawa picking a fight with a pitbull.
A heart attack at 50. Aside from all the surgery to make himself look… err.. different? He didn’t really seem to be that out of shape.
TMZ said on its website that Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest on Thursday afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. “We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back,” the site said.
The Los Angeles Times said paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the singer’s home before taking him to the UCLA Medical Center hospital.
Jackson had been due to start a series of concerts in London on July 13 running until March 2010. The singer had been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months.
The shows for the 50 London concerts sold out within minutes of going on sale in March.
To think that he was planning on doing 50 concerts, so he wasn’t suffering from any sickness.

See that? On the left?
Yea! That’s right! The Green Screen….. What? No she’s just a model to show scale.
Sorry, but even though she’s nice looking, she’s not the topic of this post. Sorry.
I would have a fancy background like that. If I could afford it
Well.. ANYWAY!
My point is that these things can be ordered online, so you (particularly family) know what I want.
Well, the thing that brought this up was a comment a friend made. Well… actually it was a LOL at a line I used on my Facebook. It was a line I used in a video I made on my way to a job, a different job I was working. A job I enjoyed doing too. Except, I didn’t fit in. I wasn’t a bible thumper and I was at at loss as to proving certain instances of sabotage. You know when you’re not wanted? That feeling was so powerful there.
Well enough about that fuck hole run of a mill operation, that’s run by a group of cackling gossip holey rolling hens.
There was a video I did one day that included a music track of me singing, I owe, I owe, It’s Off to work I go! I’ve got bills to pay, and I work all day, cause I owe, I owe, I owe, I owe!
Well, it seems to have traveled! It’s actually a common saying now! I don’t think it was from me. Shit happens that way, but my initial idea was to do a flash animation of this one. But instead I did a video of me going to work in the morning.
Well the song came up again on face-book……
This is a project that I want to restart.. I want to have my Bro’s Lip Sink with Chiclets buck teeth. That was the initial plan. Have Them sing to the tune a few times and I would edit the entire thing to make a video.
Unfortunately, that sweet green screen idea, with $1 store greeen construction paper SUCKS!!!!
I would have to plaster my entire wall to do this, and I can’t so it means the object getting closer to the green screen and that causes Shadows and shit! In order to cast a full body on green screen, they need to be a few feet away from it. (see picture) or some nasty shadows screw everything up.
Bet you’ll have that song stuck in your head now.
UPDATE:
Here’s something similar to what I wanted to do. Singing Bro’s

It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher. The Butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower.
The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town’s prostitute that in these hard times, gave her “services” on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything. At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism…. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business today.
And if that doesn’t scare the Hell out of you then you are brain dead!
See that? On the left?
