. . . : ; The "WOULD-YOU-LIKE-A-LOLLY?" Notice

I never thought that I would be a big fan of lolly pops, but after
inheriting a whole jar full about six months ago, and having them sit at
the bottom of my bag, I've discovered that they're not that bad.
Especially when you don't have anything else in the house to eat. Except
for cake. Mm. Cake.


. . . : ; The "WOW" Notice

I've rigged together a webserver on a Mac, as well as a working Perl
5.004 build and the ability to create my own CGI scripts and run them.
Finally, I don't have to worry about finding some other free CGI site to
use...


. . . : ; ANNOUNCEMENTS and the lolly pops are faded in color...

NEW DEVIL SHAT (#FortyEight): Talk about disjointed thoughts! Apparently
Morbus had a rather bad headache when he wrote this issue, and because
of this, he spouts various paragraphs of fury (fanboy) in an article
which many people might consider his best. Find out if you think it
sucks or is (sadly) good by checking it out.

NEW NETSLAVES: The final entry of the New Media Caste System, more
Screams from our Readers (including the most horrific tale we've
received yet), and the start of a new series: "Sittin' in the Cube by
the Bay: The Story of Boyd, Cab Driver" where one man leaves behind his
job of sleaze, and becomes a writer at CPU Central.

DETERGENT UPDATED: Detergent makes its way to Level Four, losing much
of the repetitive content and boring fillers that were never updated
(wait, wait, wasn't that the point of Detergent?). Along with a slightly
new webdesign, huge updates to the Quote Script and that irrepresible
Sheep movie, we hope to get the ball rolling again.

THE ABOUT SECTION PREVIEWS: Since we cleaned out the Detergent section,
we've moved the "About Disobey" and "Kudos" pages to their new home in
the surprising named "About". Now, you can read about Disobey by
clicking a link on the main page, as well as seeing the huge ego's we
all have by reading our kudos. Read them again, more awards have been
added to the Kudos section (and more criticism to go with it).

MAIN PAGE CHANGES: The main page was changed slightly to include faster
times, and a slightly wider layout which looks better for people who
have huge resolutions and large fonts (a horrible mix, but we can't
change everything to our liking). Detergent also was honored by becoming
a real section instead of a throw away thing.

MINOR UPDATES: Also moving to Level Four (and completing the whole
Disobey Level Four project) was Collected Works. That's it. We didn't
update it, just the code. Come back later. We're working; Zero was
updated with two new reviews, finally finishing up the new releases of
note from last year (!!); the new section is coming along very nicely
(you've gotta ask yourself how many times we're gonna say that); the
Onelist archives for NetSlaves have been slowly revised to remove stupid
quoting, advertisements, and generally to create a better look;


. . . : ; EVERYTHING else but not in flavor...

NO NEW MOVIES: I didn't get a chance to buy any new movies this week,
mainly because I've been attempting to save money for this really
expensive hobby I like to call Disobey. At the end of this cycle, I'll
have it paid off for another year...

I NEED MONEY: As much as I don't have money to spend, there are so many
things coming out that I want to buy - the most notable being the audio
adaptation of Clive Barker's THE HISTORY OF THE DEVIL. So many movie
stores with deals, and so little money. This sucks.


. . . : ; BLAHBLAHS OF THE WEEK:    ( february 26th - march 11th )

[Food-of-the-Week]-= Lolly Pops
---Whenever I get hungry, I just reach into the bottom of my bag,
---push aside the small scraps of paper, and unidentifiable objects
---and pull out a Chupa Chup. Ah, I love thee Chupa Chup. You are
---keeping me alive for another week.

[Can't-Think-of-Anything-of-the-Week]-= Dammit
---I'm in a rush, you see, because I have many things to accomplish
---tonight, but whatever the case, I can't think of anything
---exciting to say within these Blah's.

[Soda-of-the-Week]-= Not Even
---Shop N' Save has this "Drink" labeled only by its flavor - 1
---gallon for 99 cents. Sure, it's only sugar water, but boy, when
---you wake up in the middle of the night, and you have a gallon of
---this crap next to your bed, you really don't want to fall back 
---asleep.

[Joke-of-the-Week]-= Amazon.com Book Reviews
---Apparently, the new thing to have fun with is to review books
---at Amazon.com, and to review them deadly wrong. This week has
---seen a review of "Ping", really a child's book, but reviewed
---as if it were a tech manual, as well as the Family Circus
---book "Daddy's Hat Is On Backwards" or something like that.
---Both have been removed by Amazon.
