Thwarted by Dreamhost

September 25, 2008

Thanks to Hak5’s bulletin board (telnet bbs.hak5.org), I have been reintroduced to the wild world of MUDs. At the same time, a friend of mine spends lots of time bored with only a terminal to keep him company. Together we hatched a plan, to host a MUD on my account here, on Dreamhost. However, I was thwarted thanks to Dreamhost’s Policy Bot. I believe the Policy Bot is something like an ED-209 and something hate hates fun. Something like, I dunno, Ryan Seacrest.

That’s ok. Maybe when I’m making the big bucks I can afford to be on one of those virtual servers and run whatever the hell I want.

In other news: I’ve begun the process of crafting a story I wrote, “I’ll Never Go Back There Again: A Poesian Tale of Horror!”, for submission in my school’s literary arts journal. Hopefully, it will get published and I can claim to be a writer. Otherwise, I’ll just have to say I’m a blogger. That’s the trendy thing to do, right? I’m better than you LiveJournal and Blogger kids, since I run my own website. So, there!

Just so you know, I had intended on putting some picture here slamming the ugly style of LiveJournal. In looking for material, I came across Elyse Sewell’s Journal. In it, I found the following picture and others like it. Damn you, Elyse Sewell! Damn you and your qualty and enjoyable content. I hope you’re happy.

Why are signs in other countries more interesting?

As an aside, how sad is this picture of Edgar Allen Poe? According to Wikipedia, “the cause of his death is unknown.” If you ask me, it was lumpy head syndrome that got him.
