Whew… Boy have I been a busy mo-fo. After a year of procrastination, work on World Domination Society is actually getting under way. I have built a dual PIII-800 to handle the site until load justifies beefier hardware. I’ve also got a second draft of the ERD ready. Once I get that all knocked-out, it’ll be smooth sailing to create the actual site. I’ll work on a design later. ^_^

Yeah… I’ve been busy. First of all, I’m a lazy fuck, and I haven’t written a rant to go with my bitching about the tragedy on September 11th. Yeah, I suck, a lazy bastard, so sue me. New shit keeps happening that I want to add to it, and I don’t quite know how to mesh it all together just yet. Maybe I’m just a dumb-ass. On a more (re: much more) positive note, I met a girl at Anime Iowa with whom I figured would be nice to keep a correspondence.

Ow. Now, far be it for me to complain needlessly, but we moved to a new place a week ago. The apartment complex in which we used to live, Kimberly Club, I must label as the very spawn of the devil himself. Why? Because the building in which we lived had two flights of stairs up to our apartment, yet the stairway was narrow and the landings practically nonexistent. Why does this matter?

God Dammit I’ll have a rant later about this, but for now, go to the Washington Post for updates and breaking news on this story. Now that NATO is involved, I fully expect whoever did this to be reduced to a smoking hole in short order. I think terrorists around the world should be shaking in their boots. I don’t know why we never helped to eradicate them before, but now we have a purpose, and a as the Japanese Prime Minister said after Pearl Harbor:

Ok, that tears it. The American economy appears to be controlled primarily by investors with the collective intelligence of a fermented rutabaga. Let’s think about this for a micro-second, and see just how this situation arose. Oh wait, there’s no thinking necessary; it’s pure, unadulterated greed. Greed that makes the more shady investors give money to businesses with questionable business plans, little marketability, and a tendency to over spend and overestimate growth potential in their sectors.
