OK, we've previously talked about how Jack's crazy family is full of evil, double crosses, love triangles, and is the clear root of Jack's badass disposition. Well, his Dad has continued to morph from benevolent father figure to secret bizzaro-bad guy. His latest evolution... *drum roll please*: crazy "Filicidal" and "Grand-Filicidal" madman. Before you bother google'ing that, it means he killed his son/possibly grandson. LOL... He's taken his own grandson hostage. Wow, ya think they want us to consider him a bad guy? :-P I wonder what those writing sessions are like for the 24 writers. You think they have some kind of weird dartboard that has plot twists arrayed around the edges and every time they get stuck they just use a dart to get the next plot twist? I picture something like: 
Things are getting out of control again this season, but to be clear, Jack is still the man! Wed, 14 Feb 2007 12:33:27 PST < Comments >
Now someone please tell me why this ISN'T funny just because it's true... Dat's what I thought! "San Dimas high school football rules!"I'm waitin' for your hate mail! :-P Wed, 07 Feb 2007 13:59:33 PST < Comments >
No, the news from last night is that we are beginning to understand where Jack gets his steely edge from. We were being led to believe that last season's evil mastermind was really Jack's own brother, Graem. With the further introduction of Jack's father we were left to conclude that Jack came from a family of retards (his parents couldn't even figure out how to spell Graham), and evil sibling rivalry. As of last night, this clearly isn't the case. Now it's clear that Jack got his grit straight from the old man. His father off'ed his own son (not Jack) by torturing him to death, AND in a totally lame turn of events, Jack's father is really the evil mastermind from last season... Let me think about this for a second... Have we jumped the shark? Is it cool that poppa Jack off'ed is own son, or is it just too lame that Jack's father is now the real bad guy? *sigh* Anyone have any thoughts? I got nothin' here...

Dude, I heard all the trash people were talking about Rex Gross-Man (spelling is on purpose) before the game. I kept thinking, "Get off his case..." He really didn't seem that bad to me. Well, consider me wrong about that. He was terrible. I think Lovie Smith needs to have his friggin' head examined. I just don't understand why Rex didn't get pulled. At one point he hydroplaned backwards from the line of scrimmage (for a major loss), and then did it again the next play!!! Lovie Lovie Lovie, at some point you need to think to yourself, "Maybe something's not working in the quarterback department..." No? I just want to note that I am not a Bears fan (nor am I a Colts fan). I'm a Broncos fan all the way. The game was really lively, and the rain made it pretty nuts, but Chicago needs to consider bringing out the gallows and ridding themselves of their lame-ass QB... Or maybe you have a better idea? PS - Peyton was OK, but not an MVP, that was BS too... Now you can send all the hate-mail you like. :-P Mon, 05 Feb 2007 17:38:39 PST < Comments >
Now the cowards have started their latest irritating ad campaign that makes fun of how irritating their old campaign was. 3 very sad people (well, the blond is cute) mock HeadOn's old commercial, but then extol the product. Nice try, losers! I don't care how good you think your product is, you can't cause a headache with an irritating commercial, then cure it, and then want people to thank you. I'm on to you, and I wont rest until you're out of business! Well, or until I get distracted by... What was I blogging about... Whatever, you suck HeadOn! Thu, 25 Jan 2007 10:11:20 PST < Comments >
Unfortunately though, he wasn't able to get to the latest nuke that terrorists had smuggled into the country (again). Yeah, those bastards blew up Valencia! Noooo... Now we southern Californians have lost Six Flags - Magic Mountain. :( I used to love that place, and now it's been irradiated. Now does everyone see why terrorism is bad, umkay? The season is starting off pretty well, but it's not headed in a good direction... Terrorist-neck biting, massively disfigured hands from being tortured for a year (yeah, Jack's hand is busted), etc... All very good. However, this week we saw that last season's evil mastermind is Jack's brother Graem (and now he's back), Jack's brother's wife has the hots for Jack (love triangle), Jack's father may be in bed with the terrorists, and (if I'm not mistaken) the writers must be talking to the producers of Striking Distance, in which it turned out everyone in Pittsburgh's law enforcement, criminal, and firefighting communities were related... Please don't jump the shark 24, we need you! Thu, 25 Jan 2007 09:54:55 PST < Comments >
The best dammed show on TV (BSG) just started up again, 24 brought Jack Bauer back (but I am really worried about some jumping, and a shark), Lost MAY return... someday... etc. On the flip side, some of the stand-ins that they wheeled out to keep us from revolting and moving on to thinks like... books... have met with varied success. I hear that Jericho got picked up. I thought that one had potential (some little turd turns out to be a hardcore post-apocalyptic hardass... well, and some lame small town douche bags), so it's OK. Day Broke is, apparently, gone. Sorry Taye. That show was like Groundhog Day's older brother that went off to serve in the Marines and then came home with a serious edge... and it had some chick named "Moon Bloodgood"... lol, I love that name... Well, see ya Day Broke, you never got a chance to jump the shark. :( Tue, 23 Jan 2007 09:31:33 PST < Comments >
When looking at the server's logs, all we could see was:
Jan 5 12:51:49 <machine name> sshd[######]: error: PAM: authentication error for
<perfectly valid user> from <local/trusted host>
Basically, here's the deal: Netbeans is retarded, and any real programmer knows what a real development
environment should look like. But for those who insist on using Netqueens: the problem here is that your ssh daemon is probably one of the
modern distributions. So, it is probably configured to DISABLE password authentications. This is a simple fix. Open your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and put this line in there:
PasswordAuthentication yes
Of course if you have that variable defined as "no", you'll have to remove that too. Then (this is very important)
restart your ssh daemon with:
/etc/rc.d/sshd restart
and now you're free to delude yourself into thinking you don't need to grow up and use VIM like a real [Wo]Man. ;)

This movie was so incredibly bad, that it kicked ass! I know that was totally the point, and I'm here to say: Mission accomplished Mr. Jackson. For those who have been totally in the dark on this one: First, my condolences since you must have been living under a frakin' rock! Second, imagine one of those absolutely terrible Sci-Fi Channel made-for-tv movies (you know, a gem like Pterodactyl that starred Coolio). OK, now imagine that instead of a deadbeat douche bag (read: Coolio), they cast Samuel L. Jackson as the lead! Only a bad mutha... *shut yo mouth*, I'm talking about Samuel L. Jackson baby! Only he could pull this off. The plot sucked, his cast sucked, the music SUCKED, but Jackson came through. This is a must see. I haven't laughed at and loved a movie so much since opening night of Armageddon! I know, I know, I've previously blogged about this and said it was going to suck... Well, I'm a soft touch. Now go see it! :-P Mon, 21 Aug 2006 08:47:13 PDT < Comments >
OK, I spent the better part of a week beating my head against the wall. I have been trying to figure out why sendmail on my FreeBSD box suddenly decided to give me the most un-helpful error messages that I've ever seen, and then was unable to start.
This post is dedicated to the people out there hunting for this problem, Cheers:
If you see the errors:

Anyway, the blog is going to change gears, jump tracks, jump the shark (hope not) a little bit. I'm going to start adding in (but hopefully not switching entirely to) technical this 'n that kinds of entries. I fully plan to continue to voice my outrage at things like Aeon Sux, and cheer on my man Chuck Norris, but my next couple of entries may not make you laugh. :-/ Hey, at least Blahdot is back, and that makes me happy! :) Wed, 02 Aug 2006 16:17:12 PDT < Comments >
I'd rate this week's episode at about a 7. Jack didn't get to cap anyone, and he didn't even get to beat anyone. However, the 7 comes from the fact that the retarded Nixon-look-alike president (Logan) almost capped himself! I think I would have been ecstatic if he actually had, but almost is good enough. I can't wait until Jack finds out that the little DHS weasel needs a beating... :-D Wed, 10 May 2006 16:49:18 PDT < Comments >
This page rox: "FATMOUSE TAKES UMBRAGE AT THE SIGHT OF YOUR SMALL TORSO AND WEAK FLACCID LIMBS.". It seems like (from some of the dates on the page broken links) this is an ooooooold page, but this fat little rodent is timeless. lol He takes umbrage at me... I think we all have a little fatmouse in us... "Got a little [FATMOUSE] in ya?" Wed, 10 May 2006 12:06:53 PDT < Comments >
How can you make a horror movie about snakes on a friggin' plane?!? It's funny that the movie studio doesn't seem inclined to release much information about this. Maybe they already know it's going to bomb? Well, I sure do. Is this what you've come to Samuel... I'm ashamed of you! Tue, 02 May 2006 12:06:50 PDT < Comments >
Lemme break it down for ya': this little jammy has Godzilla throwin' down with Batman, Abe Lincoln gettin' turfed by Indiana Jones, Samuel L. Jackson gettin' jumped by snakes [on a plane] (yeah, the absolutely retarded movie that sounds like a joke), Dragon Ball Z's Goku, Lo-friggin'-Pan from Big Trouble in Little China, of course there's a huge amount of homage paid to my man Chuck Norris, and much much more... Oh, and the best damn song since... Well, maybe since Shaft! In short; you must all go see this! It is a work of friggin' art!
