. . . : ; The "MY-CAT-IS-CLAWING-MY-LEG" Notice
Ow.
. . . : ; The "NOW-MY-CAT-IS-SITTING-ON-ME" Notice
Great, now I have to change my clothes because she is getting them all
hairy.
. . . : ; ANNOUNCEMENTS and listening to music as I write this stuff
DEVIL SHAT UPDATES: Added email to issues Twenty and Twenty One. Changed
the images for Issues Twenty and Twenty One. Also cleaned up the main
page, and shortened the back issue listing because it was just getting
two damn big. We also added a happy Devil Shat "specials" section. From
there, you can read the Devil's Dictionary (which as we build upon it)
will be current of every issue, and also view the entire collection of
every Devil's Dump that we have published. We also added update links
throughout the back issues. If (for example) in Issue Eight, we talked
about Tamagotchi's, then at the end of that article, there will be a
convenient link to Devil Shat Eighteen where we continue with the latest
news... all part of the premise we call the "Evolving Zine". Sure, it
sounds stupid, but it works.
COLLECTED WORKS GETS SOME MORE: Along with correcting an annoying error
about not closing my HTML tags (stupid, stupid me!), two stories were
added to C. Barry Slough's section: "What is Pussy Galore, Alex?" and
"The Six to Three Shift". You gotta read em. You also might be happy to
know that we added a new author: Arunas Statkus. Remember the Petit Mal
stories from C. Barry Slough? (If you haven't, go read them, dammit.)
Well, Arunas writes Petit Mal stories too. And they are good. And
finally, we clarified what we were looking for for the Collected Works.
If you have some weird little creations you want the world to see, feel
free to send them to us... perhaps you'll be right for the section.
NEW DEVIL SHAT WAY DOWN HERE: Let's see... it's a three article issue
with a nifty image this time around. We talk about "Why Image is a
Photograph", if God cares if it is a plain cake or a Valentine's case,
and why G. Nih Ton wants to be notorious. It's a pretty varied issue.
ALSO, HEY! A NEW SDM: It's the all female issue. No men. It's really
good. Go read it.
MINOR UPDATES: quote script is bulked up to 234 entries (with spiffy new
online submittal form!), we changed our Disobey Info page (in the
Detergent section) around some (kinda unnoticable, but it is there),
changed the directory structure around in Detergent (do you really care
about this junk?), added an image of our 10,004th hit on our counter (in
that damned Detergent section),
. . . : ; EVERYTHING else and things that are esoteric
UPDATED EVERY WEEKDAY: See, the neat thing about having so much varied
content on Disobey is because we can promise you that we will be updated
every single weekday (and most of the time on the weekend too). One of
the most notable things that you will be able to find that is updated
all the time is Socially Deranged Mentality's Temporal Dysfunction. Just
go to the main SDM page (http://www.disobey.com/sdm/) and you'll be able
to read the newest junk from them.
PROBLEM SOLVED: One of the most annoying problems Disobey has been
having recently was converting Macintosh text files to PC format. We had
a work-around solution: send them to yourself and receive them on your
PC and play with em there, but after 5 consecutive hours playing with
it (ending at 6 o'clock in the morning) we finally found a way to do it
with no hassel. It made us really happy and let us finally breath a
little easier. Not anything big, we just like overcoming problems.
EYESTRAIN, 2.8 GIGS: Morbus collects Quicktime movies, and with this
latest burn of a CD, he now has a total of 2.8 gigs. That is a lot of
movies. He's got such greats as the movie that caused the Japanese kids
to get all seizurely, and about four different angles to the Bill Gates
pie attack. And a bunch of other stuff. If you want a list of it, just
send a message to morbus@disobey.com saying so.
NEW COMPUTERS: 700 bucks gets us two computers this week... one for $22
postage (486) and a new PowerMac ($650 plus postage). Finally, we will
be able to break into mp3s and RealVideo and Audio... something which
has been much too long coming.
