Keep cool, stay inside and play board games with friends…

I just happen to notice earlier when logged into one of my backup servers running FreeBSD, that it’s been running for quite a while and the only problem I’ve had with it was that I forgot to change the email address it reports to so I was missing the daily emails and outage reports, etc… I’d like to see Windows try to compete with an uptime like this!

...Yeah baby!

SSA h0st

Today is the official “kick-off” for my new webhosting company, SSA h0st. I knew that registering a dba would get me a bunch of junk mail, but gee whiz! I checked mail 2 days after getting registered, and already had 1 postcard with advertisements on it addressed to the company name…

I checked my box again today, less than a week after getting the assumed name, and already had about 5 annoyingly large card-stock advertisements for accepting credit cards and the like… Sheez…

So I’m advertising my site online… had several hundred hits so far, but no biters. I’m thinking mabe I need to re-think my marketing strategy – either that or I’m just expecting too much. Yeah, that’s prolly it.

And now, another installment of “Long winded Kris rants”

I keep threatening to get a website devoted to publishing images and stories showcasing the stupidity of Houston drivers….

My crappy camera phone doesn’t do it justice, but let me describe what’s so wrong with this persons parking job.

This is at the Chick-Fil-A on Richmond and 610, its close to my apartment, cheap, and therefore a common dinner hangout for me. The establishment is positioned towards 610, but the backside is in the best buy parking lot. The driveway is designed so that the drivethrough goes down the right side of the building, around, and back out the front facing 610.

The parking spaces on the right are angled so that you can park when coming in from the front, and there is an exit into the best buy parking lot at the back. There are 2 very large, RED signs facing the best buy parking lot stating that this is not an entrance, to continue around the building to enter in the front. Not to mention the large yellow arrows both pointing towards the best buy parking lot, indicating that traffic should only flow in one direction.

So, not only did this guy ignore the signs and enter the parking lot going the wrong way, he also had to dodge a vehicle or two trying to leave going the right way. Then he decides to park his overpriced, tricked out caddy with spinners and gold trim. He pulls in to a backwards-facing spot, and does it halfway correct the first time, then backs up and repositions – not only does he line up straight in (putting him sideways according to the yellow stripes on the ground) and takes up 2 parking spaces in the process, one of them is a handicapped spot.

He meanders in, visits the restroom, orders something and leaves… I guess his reasoning is that he was only in there a few minutes. But ovbiously has no consideration for anyone else, can’t read, and is generally dim-witted.

Now, in case this person is you, or someone you know… I make no a pologies for what I said, and I meant every word of it – however, if you have a different point of view, I would love to hear it!

Thank you,

It strikes again!
