You may notice some adverts here and there around the m’sphere. Which ain’t exactly piracy, but you know, you do what ‘ya gotta. I’m tryin’ this out after helping a hot and lovely friend research ads. They may not stay, we’ll see what i get in the way of filthy lucre.

A sex-blogger friend ‘o mine needs to get some advertising revenue coming in from her blog; I of course know very little about getting ads set up on a blog, particularly when it’s a blog of the adult variety. Anyone out there know much about this? I have no idea where to get started, between […]

Anyone out there know much about this? I have no idea where to get started, between the mainstream ad sources (Adsense, the built-in ad system on typepad, etc) and adult ad providers.

I need words of wisdom on where to start with it. Actually getting the ads working is cake, but I dunno where to start with rounding up advertising for a blog with adult content.

The Motörhead logo is back. I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand My image is of agony, my servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

The Motörhead logo is back.

I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.

Because I löve you all. Vïcïôüslÿ.

I found this font I couldn’t resist. So we’re temporarily the, you know, kool-aid-o-sphere. Thanks to the lovely-and-talented Miss Syl, font geek and photoshop bitch extraordinaire.

mod-rewrite grokage

Anyone out there good with mod-rewrite? I’m trying to do something really simple but I’m not getting some key point. I just wanna do: https://www.moronosphere.com/whatsis redirect to https://www.moronosphere.com/bobsyeruncle I know that’s dead simple but for some reason I can’t get my head around it today.

Hey, I like it. My pirate name is: Mad Jack Kidd Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! Get your own pirate name from fidius.org. A […]

3.3 Beta

We’re up and running on the final MT 3.3 release candidate. Fingers crossed, we may have a full release on it by the end of the week.

Bleeding Edge – MT 3.3 Beta 2

I just upgraded my MT install to MT 3.3 Beta 2. Which isn’t, I guess, truly bleeding edge, but I like the phrase bleeding edge. If anyone has troubles, let me know. This new MT version has some cool features, I’m only just starting to play with them.

Update – The MT 3.3 Beta has been released. I encourage MT users to get on board and help test – I’d like to see this release go GA shortly, it’s got some REALLY cool features. I’m not planning to upgrade this-here space yet (not ’til they get to at least beta version 2 or […]

Update – The MT 3.3 Beta has been released.

I encourage MT users to get on board and help test – I’d like to see this release go GA shortly, it’s got some REALLY cool features. I’m not planning to upgrade this-here space yet (not ’til they get to at least beta version 2 or 3), but it’s looking pretty solid in my beta-testing blog and I’ve seen no major bugs yet.

SixApart are about to start a beta test of Movable Type 3.3.

The plan as of now is to install that here – maybe not the day it comes out, but shortly after. I’ll likely (If I have time) install 3.3 as a separate installation first to drive it around and see what’s different. If any of you-all who have m’sphere blogs are interested, I’ll point you to it.

I have not seen a change list to see what they’ve added, but I’m hoping it’s 1) good stuff and 2) doesn’t break anything.

While I think MT is the best bloging platform out there, I’m not sure how confident I am in SixApart these days; they seem like they’re letting things get away from them on TypePad and of course they’re spending cycles supporting LiveJournal, which is possibly the worst blogging platform around, if the one with the largest customer base. I’m hoping they get control of that shortly.

Rock Paper Scissors… Monkey?

Maybe it’s just me. But I think this is incredibly funny. It’s a 25-gesture version of the classic Rock, Paper, Scissors. Here’s the chart, and the list of the possible gestures with how they play with other gestures. Though you know, they need to make it 26 – Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shocker! Ok. Maybe it’s […]

Ok. Maybe it’s just ’cause we used to sit around making up variants – like Llama, which beat everything, but then died, so you could only use it once. But I’m wishing I could actually memorize these well enough to play these. I knew there would come a time when I wanted all those brain cells back.
