Upgrade announcement

Posted by Darth Venomous on June 2, 2012

Denizens, this is…wait, wrong blog.

LCs, this is to let you know that the long-awaited Magical Mystical Rott Upgrade Extravaganza™ will take place sometime tomorrow, probably sometime early afternoon or so.

During the process, I will be going through the user rolls looking for folks who have never put up so much as one comment, who are either bots or have pretty much just lurked their whole time here. (If that’s you, or if you even think it might be you, now would be a good time to put in a comment or eight. (Just kidding – one will do nicely.))

Users who have no such records – and most of them are nothing more than spambots, so you don’t need to worry – will be unceremoniously dumped. (HOWEVER!!! – if I catch you by mistake, no worries: Re-register and send me an emailso I can keep an eye out for you.)

A final notice will be posted about 30 minutes or so before we begin tomorrow.

Thanks. Returning you to your open thread…

    The package I sent should only take about five minutes to upload and *BAM!* the upgrade will be complete. Most of you won’t even notice.

    You won’t have all of these fancy formatting buttons though. Just four of them. There MAY be a new smilie for you.

    I lurk, therefore I am. To post or not to post, that is the question, for it is far better to not post and be thought a Democrat then to type one’s comments and remove all doubt. :em05:

    Herewith is my comment to ask not to be nuked! I’m mostly a lurker, but I’m pretty sure I’ve commented some time in the past. Can’t remember when, though. :)

    Occasionally the garden has to be weeded, or the kudzu cut back. Such is the life of a SysAdmin, Deej.

    Slice and dice, baby!

    Deej, just don’t do like I did once and fat-finger the script to swing a bunch of T3′s to an OC3 to Japan. Ever been chewed out in Japanese at 3 A.M.? The bad thing is, I understood just about everything the guy was saying, and I don’t speak Japanese! The worse thing was it took 45 minutes for the BGP to reconverge…

    Are we going to ever get an edit function?

    Oh, I am NOT the one doing this upgrade. That is left to the capable hands of the young Jedi, Spats. I just provided the files, he will do the rest.

    I can do this stuff in my sleep.

    I just found out that several mp3 pirate sites found a way to worm into my audio stash. Now all they will get is this

    If they are hotlinking any of my stuff now, they will REALLY be in for a surprise. LOL

    It’s been awhile since I posted. Too much intertube pr0n has rendered the computer useless. I am still around and alive. Using my phone to post for now. Need a computer upgrade and some more lube.

    1) backup computer
    2) Format computer
    3) reload operating system
    4) Load antivirus first thing. I like the free Microsoft one for windows.
    5) visit portableapps.com and download assorted utilities, including a bittorrent client
    6) download peerblocker portable
    7) Download VLC
    8) visit https://kat.ph/
    9) search for “Tokyo Hot”
    10) download interesting torrents
    11) Run virus scan on all completed downloads
    12) watch videos
    13) We don’t want to know

    Me too. Microsoft Essentials has worked the best for Windows. I’ve had all of the others, Norton, AVG, etc and they all just slowed my computer down. Microsoft Essentials stays completely out of the way, and you don’t even know it is there unless you hit something. Then it neatly knocks it in the head with a sledge hammer and sweeps it up and tosses it away. No muss, no fuss.
