TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

i just saw a family of american tourists outside my store filming an ambulance go by with it's sirens going. this is possibly one of the stupidest things i've ever witnessed.

there's a 'this is a thread for when chicks show up' but it's mostly grady talking about shoes

-- jergïns

awesome

I don't get paid for this, but I do log hours and hours at my impressive rates doing this when I should be protecting the internet in a more bureaucratically acceptable manner. otoh my colleague who is actually a civil servant spends most of his time refreshing MLB game feeds so eh.

stet, however, made out like a bandit. this whole thing's running on a refurbed sun box he got off ebay for $130

$130 being about 1/20th of what StanM donated alone

the "m" stands for "millionaire"

hahahahaha see, this is why I have a strict "never give ILX any damn money" policy

m for munificent

wow really????

fuck, there are no ads, no annoying bannerheads - ppl should be pretty happy with this site. and if they're not... well... like we say at my restaurant: YOU'RE WELCOME TO LEAVE WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT. and am i correct in assuming that the money ponied up by ilxors for the server was all 'donations'? in which case, no one had to give that money.

me and jordan belong to a secret board called the 'back alley' on another forum we belong to, and it's pretty slow. not boring, as such, since we bitch about all the mentalists in the main boards. but it's good because all our friends are there, so there's no trolling (oh, except for this one old guy me and jordan absolutely hate).

the dude who moderates that forum is pretty much the 48yr old version of tombot.

and we <3 him!

not really!

the money was all donations to buy a new server. I still ended up sinking a stupid chunk of cash into it anyway (thanks customs ppl). We did have google ads running on search once. I think there's $10 in that account, which should be sent to Tombot to invest in the US economy cos it's no use to me.

We got the code (which Keith wrote the majority of) valued once. It came at about $80,000, but Keith reckons it's more at the usual hourly he charges.
xp

in fact, then it was just "donations to save ILX" because we didn't have a hosting deal fixed up or anything.

What is Keith doing now? He's not around ILX at all is he?

stet, sorry to be a nag but did my sandbox registration application ever go through, i tried several times and got no response.

If I'd put in $80,000 worth of my sweat into this I'd try to forget it ever existed too

hahahahaha see, this is why I have a strict "never give ILX any damn money" policy

OMG you hypocrite

i don't think anyone sane could seriously believe anyone got rich off ilx donations.

i happily gave $ 25 and haven't thought about it again until today

that should go on the good attitude thread.

now i'm afraid that sounded sarcastic, it wasn't.

I enjoy ILX but there are things about it that baffle me.

I probably only really enjoy things that have aspects to them that baffle me, though, tbh

i don't think anyone sane could seriously believe anyone got rich off ilx donations.

Me, yesterday:

estela: no! Something weird must be going on. Tonight I'll just hack over yr account from here, so the same login will work. keith is still about, but doesn't post much. xps

thanks stet<3

nice side part, ned.

home form work bump!

to sum up: ppl need to stop whining about something that is
1. free (donations don't count)
2. voluntary

I dare you to post that on the thread.

Too sensible, wouldn't get noticed.

i couldn't get through the whole thing... bookmarked for later
(note: it did provide enough reading for my entire 1.5 hour train ride home today!)

i'm too scared

i'm STILL reading it. but then again, i also have a job i'm supposed to be doing right now.

I decided to make brownies instead of read it through so that my family will <3 me.

Maybe later, though, if fluids and electrolytes turn out to be unexciting.

Tuomas, in principle, is awesomes.

you are always baking good stuff. i want to come live with you. xpost

hi nick! what took you so long to get here?

tombot should make itr a private board. then we could pretend we're all really elite.

oh wait, we ARE really elite!

no-one invited me :(

tbh, i don't know how tuomas has lasted here so long. no one ever seems to actually converse with him, just zing him.

xpost i invited you AGES ago

the boy has stamina. must a be a scandanavian thing.

I like to bake stuff, it is true. If you visit, I promise to make these brownies, as they are very good and very easy. (Trust me, it's the recipe, nothing special I'm doing).

Also, if you want to come live with me, that is probably fine, but I'm warning you that the kids wake up early and are LOUD.

Uh... xpost

You are all too fast for me!

you did. but most of the itr goings on seem to go on when i am asleep. i am only burning the midnight oil now because my boss is away at the moment so i intend to go into work tomorrow when i damn well feel like it. (grumbling about the tube for the sake of authenticity)

xxxxxxxxx post

xxxxxxxxxxxx

i love to bake, but i never get around to it.
sara, you sound like the nicest mommy!

I HAVE FINISHED MY TASK.
I HAVE RE-RIPPED EVERY CD I OWN. ALL OF THEM. EXCEPT THE KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND 2-DISC COLLECTION (lol what) AND THE STROKES (haw 2001) WHICH I THREW OUT.

SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTINGLY THE WHOLE MESS ONLY COMES OUT TO ABOUT 108 GB @ 256+KBPS

i found a job listing for a position reporting to one of my adjunct professors. i emailed him to see if we could talk about it (inside track to employment??) and now i am going to be mad nervous until he writes back!!!

congrats, tom!!

I need to do this. So much 128kbpsness.
xpost

also even though I have the new remaster discs of UF Orb and Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld I'm keeping my old copies because whoa sentimental value I've had those things for like 13 years

I am kind of a crabby mommy, tbh. I'm just trying to keep them from tossing me out with the brownies.

Tom - why did you re-rip everything?

Upt0eleven - hello!

oooh, tehresa, good luck with the prospective job!

is 256 performance qwality? i've considered doing this but an mp3's still an mp3 innit?
