What’s this? The BitterKid shouting to the heavens “God, I love you man”! Well, I suppose were I in his place… making out with a hottie chick, that reminded me of a hottie cartoon chick… I think I’d be pretty happy too.

Interesting night. Was hanging out on IRC, and james suggested Leo Carillo. So we went down there for a little while, kinda roamed the beach. Meandered back toward Simi, where I decided to make a stop at the Super Vons and pick up some “Breakfast Claws” and drinks (I had been craving OJ, but I went with one of them nestle quick thingies). I also bought some Mentos, just in case…

We wandered down to the park and gnawed on pastry, and decided that we should do a trip along the coast down Mexico way, via a small sail boat. Camp on the beach, gather food from local eateries, then hop back aboard for another day’s travel. Could be very cool. Of course arranging the boat and the funds will be the tricky part.

From the park we went to James’ place to begin planning. Paged Space, and we all went to Denny’s where we got the waitress James and I had last night (who is terrible, and smelled of pot), and despite my protestations I gnawed on a chicken strip. My stomach expressed its displeasure to me. Space and I enjoyed making fun of how gay James is, and discussing the idea of getting him a Gap gift certificate. We figure $80 outta buy him some Gap socks. Space and I also got to be standoffish and rudely extract ourselves from a conversation with people in front of Denny’s. It was pretty cool.

A loop around simi later, we were talking about robbing banks and grocery stores, but ended up back at James’ place. Growing tired (I’ve been averaging 6 hrs sleep a night lately) I figured I should get home before I was too tired to drive, so I dropped off Space at his new place and here I am.

We did just about everything to do, aside from drinking and movies… but it still was pretty uneventful. I did enjoy it though. I honestly believe that its not really what you do, but who you do it with. That’s why when I travel to visit my ex, I never want to do anything. I don’t want to busy myself touring the town, I want to spend time with her. Bah, I didn’t want to turn this into another post about the ex. Forget I typed that.

Oh, I avoided drinking coke while I was out… Though I did have that root beer at denny’s… I guess I kinda cheated. But I was still pretty good about it.

So, about a week ago, I noticed that I was getting an error from webalizer about a referrer field being too large when I ran it from the command line (“Warning: Truncating oversized referrer field”). I knew this was something I should take care of, but I didn’t feel any pressure to do it right away.

This morning, having been trying to set up formmail to work with my old bobist survey, I started up my qmail smtpd. I then watched as it delivered 2400 mail messages first to root, then to the user account that the root alias pointed to. 2400 messages from the cron daemon containing that webalizer error message.

I really never wanted to see Pine display the query “Expunge the 2400 deleted messages from “INBOX”?”

So, I set the cron entry for webalizer to kick all errors and whining to /dev/null (I could have just done in from within the webalizer.conf, but oh well). I then went through my access log trying to track down the two lines that were causing all this hell.

After a few minutes of playing with grep and webalizer, I narrowed it down to two normal looking lines. Here they are:

prometheus.cnmnetwork.com – – [01/Sep/2000:01:11:01 -0700] “GET /~goldcam/” HTTP/1.0″ 404 691 “-” “Mozilla/4.74 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386)”

prometheus.cnmnetwork.com – – [01/Sep/2000:01:12:55 -0700] “GET /~goldcam/” HTTP/1.0″ 404 691 “-” “Mozilla/4.74 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386)”

So, I cleaned them out of the access_log, ran webalizer and all is good again. That really sucked.

Lazy day… I’ve done some unreal playage… Did a partial code/comment audit on the forum and guestbook. Hung around on IRC. Showed didi what was wrong with his java prog and criticised his comments/whitespace. I have some E/Irwin pics I might be scanning… OK, fud time.

Just to pass this along… Raging Search is AltaVista, but without all that portal crap… I may have already said this… Hmm…

Buffy is in barking at the vacuum cleaner, which mom is operating.

So I’ve got Gina covered… On to @ngel. I met her tonight at the party too. She’s the one that BitterKid dated for about three minutes. He introduced me to her, and as soon as she found out I was on the page too, she got really defensive… Well, not so much defensive, as embarassed and a bit on edge… She seemed guilty, maybe… I don’t know.

Tyler told her that I’d backed him up on his rant, and she asked if I hated her. Ty said I pretty much don’t hate anyone… except di0ck. 😉 Nah, it takes a lot for me to hate someone… Been a while since I’ve found someone worth hating. Maybe Dr. Laura.

So, well, it struck me how she was so worried that people would hate her. What she did, I can see being pissed about. But its not really something you can hate someone over. She screwed up, it sucks… People got hurt. But it wasn’t maliscious.

Oh, I got to describe her to PhyDeauX later, when I drove him home, so I’ll pass along my description… I told him that she was not unattractive, and that you could tell there was real substance to her personality. We both agreed that having something going on upstairs is attractive.

Mmmm… Pizza time.

So, kewpie was cool enough to fill out the survey from a few posts back. She seems to have some obsession with DEEZ NUTZ. And Mountain Dew is her favorite edible topping. I should really fix that survey thing so that it uses a CGI to translate the html encoding before mailing it… It displays really nastilly…

I just was at the abcnews site, reading the current headlines… Its interesting how the email sent by a man in East Timor who was killed within hours of sending it, describing how they were sitting there like bait waiting to be killed and he hoped he would survive until today when he would be transferred away… This little insignificant news piece doesn’t match up to the MTV Music Awards… Fuck you ABC! FUCK YOU!

Its kinda neat how well Space, James and I have been getting along. I’m glad I’ve gotten the chance to hang with these guys. The only problems I’ve seen amongst us is my growing frustration with Mikey, James obsession, and the Limey time in the journal.

I wonder if I’d be as frustrated if, like Space and I, James rotated through a few people he was bitching about… I can really sympathise with james, though, and I shouldn’t really give him shit. I do know where he’s at, I’ve been there. Hell, I practically am there, what with my current problems with my ex. I’ve been trying not to rant too much about her to the guys, but there’s been some ranting.

Woah, listening to John Petrucci do “Flight of the Bumblebee”. Cool…

Oh, so this was mildly nagging me. I feel I should give some credit to di0ck of KaT WebDev for the look of the journal. I do kinda think it was an obvious design, and I didn’t snag any of the code from his journal… but I did see his journal before I built mine, so its entirely likely that I did base it off of his at least subconsciously. Of course, the functionality is way different. Its pretty much the blue table, black background, white text thing that looks like his. (I’d link to his if I had the addy…)

While I’m at it, thanks to Matt of Matt’s Script Archive, and Jeff Ballard author of the BOFH Excuse server. I snagged some ideas from them as well.

Dad just asked Buffy (Our German Shepard puppy) “where’s your stuff?”… she lead him right to it… I guess she is pretty bright.
