Updates

I can’t think of a better title for this post. It’s just some random updates.

Running cable is a pain in the ass. I did one room (ya know, to make sure it can be done before making a party out of it) and it was the most grueling task of my life. Every muscle I have hurts from climbing around like a fucking rafter monkey in the attic. Not to mention that fishing wire is alot harder than everyone wants to say it is. Now I just have to fish up one of the source feeds and split it.
ReCAPTCHA is fucking awesome. I have zero spam since turning it on and disabling my aKismet plugin. Furthermore, I used to get forum registrations from bots with the SMF native CAPTCHA…haven’t gotten a single one since I switched the system to use ReCAPTCHA. Fucking awesome.
Elliot electronics here in Tucson is the shit. Got 430 feet of RG6 coax for less than half the price it would have cost me at the Homo Depot. I just wish Elliot wasn’t so far away from home.
PETA is filled with retards. They seem to think that “inserting a probe into the rectum and passing 240 volts through [a rabbit]” is the easy way to do it. I can’t help but find that funny. Seriously, try sticking an electrode up a rabbit’s ass and tell me if it’s easier than just whacking the little fucker’s head against a table (a practice PETA also derides, because it occasionally leaves rabbits alive to be skinned).
Sega Superstars and Top Spin 3 are the absolute worst tennis games for the 360 ever. At least I didn’t pay to rent them.
Playing regular XBox games on a 360 blows.
If you get the $21 (actually, $24 after the taxes, tarrifs, and other forms of anal-oriented sexual abuse by the government to fund the liberal need for shit like welfare) one-out-at-a-time movie/game thing from Blockbuster and get anything else with it, make damn sure the clerk understands which one is the game you want on the program, and which one you want for a week like a regular rental. That’s 10 minutes I’ll never see again.
