. . . : ; The "TOO-MUCH-CANDY" Notice
I am drooling because I put too much of this Willy Wonka candy in my
mouth. Something like Tart N Tiny... I put a whole bag... Ah twell. I am
still waiting for them to release the candy that turns you in a giant
blueberry. I have a great idea that has to do with bowling.
. . . : ; The "MORE-MOVIES" Notice
Yeah, my friend and I bought six new (old) movies for twenty five bucks.
Some nice ones too. Well, nice in that weird sort of way. I'm not even
going to list them for you. Trust that they are, of course, horror.
. . . : ; ANNOUNCEMENTS and are you getting tired of this?
NEW DEVIL SHAT (#ThirtyTwo): With the first of a two parter, Morbus
explains why the legalization of all drugs is BAD. And it wasn't his
idea. He just read something he so vehemently disagreed with, he decided
to let the world see his response. And a long lost piece of writing from
a thank god he's gone author reawakens... go read the issue:

ZERO RETURNS: It had to happen. The Zero section was taken down a while
ago for reasons best left unsaid. But who cares about then? Now is now.
And Zero is Now. Back again with seven full songs, and new reviews each
week, it is time you folks got reacquainted.
GHOST SITES REMEMBERED: Due to server reconstruction over at Pathfinder,
one of the many articles that Ghost Sites was known for was lost. And it
wasn't just any old article... it was THE article... the one that made
Steve Baldwin famous. So, what'd we do? We added it to our site... the
creation of a legacy cannot simply be misplaced. Finally got around to
adding all those awards I had mentioned last issue too.
DEVIL SHAT UPDATE: Remember a long time ago, when I told you that 3Com
had ripped off Disobey? Well, it involved a prediction that I had made
way back in the nineteenth issue of Devil Shat, January 29th to be
exact. I finally got around to posting the ad that I am talking about,
and now you can check it out too. Have a blast:

DETERGENT SLIGHTLY: Detergent got a tiny update this week... mostly the
code was changed to make it a little more easier to expand upon. The
code just wasn't going with our ideas, so we had to play around with it.
Honestly, if you go there, it is going to look like nothing has changed.
The link colors will be the most noticeable, because it all lies in the
code. This code was a bitch to change. Took me all morning and half the
afternoon due to stupidity, phone calls, and not thinking things
through. And so it goes.
LOW UPDATED... WELL, OF COURSE: Turning one month old this week, it
started out better than we had imagined... and as such, we got out ass
kicked with the amount of stuff we were unprepared for. But, hey, you
know. At least it's here, it's good, and people like it. Added six new
listings and a crapload of new archives as well as modifying the meta
words on the pages to be a little more indicative of what the hell it
is.
COLLECTED WORKS, DAMN THING: It had been bothering me for quite a while:
getting screenplay formatting to look the same in all the browsers. The
most annoying thing was that in the 3rd generation browsers, it looked
great. In the fourth generation, it looked like ass. So, I sat down
again today, and played around with it, and found a format that works
the same in the third and fourth generation browsers that I tested it
on. Hallafuckingloula.
THE DEBUGGING HAS BEGUN: In attempts to become the most anal person in
the world, I have started to debug each and every single page of the
Disobey website. The first step is to check the HTML coding on every
single page for errors. The second is to spellcheck everything for
accuracy. And then, if I can find a halfway decent grammer check, to
check that too. What have I finished? Well, I checked the code for the
Collected Works and Detergent section. Next up is the code for the Devil
Shat... ah twell... insert big sigh here.
MINOR UPDATES: We sat down and took a long look at our history, and gave
the most complete listing of everything Disobey has appeared in, has
contributed too, everything we have won, and all that good crap. We are
still working on the links for them all, but you can see it all on the
Kudos page of the Detergent section:
http://www.disobey.com/detergent/kudos.htm
AGAIN MINOR UPDATES: Also added to the quote script... going from 360
quotes to 385 quotes. Finally got the StartupQuote file and the actual
website script spellchecked and all that other organization garbage. I'm
going to be looking at some PC programs to port it over too also.
. . . : ; EVERYTHING else and does anyone read this crap?
WOWEE-ZOWEE: Website is now up to 32 megs. That's pretty flipping big
for a website. Hmmf. We must be doing something right, I hope. Ah twell.
TOO MUCH CANDY, UPDATE!: Yeah, uh... my face is all red, cos I just
started choking on the damn thing. I hate candy. In the midst of
coughing, I am amazed to find that only two were projectiled out of my
mouth (out of maybe 40). Not that bad of a ratio.
GETTIN IT TOGETHER: Well, I got all my thoughts together... you know,
the thousands of pieces of scraps of paper that you write these little
things down that will only make any sense to you, and you'll probably
forget what they mean six months from now? Yeah, well, I typed them all
up into one file. I got some interesting stuff prepared for you, it
seems.
GETTIN IT TOGETHER, PART EYE EYE: Finally cleaned out my plug-ins folder
for my image program. Lemme tell you something, when you have 60 megs of
plug-ins, and it takes about 5 minutes for your program to load up...
it's time to clean it out. There were a ton of redundancies... all from
the fact that I just randomly installed every plug-in I could find. Ah
twell. That's what you get.
WENT TO THE BEACH: Yup, yet again... and I went further into the water!
Wow, huh? I hate the water, but I love who I am with. We spent about $20
on those little booths just taking... interesting pictures for no one
but us to see. Whoo dog. We went there twice this week. I am getting out
into the world! It's amazing.
