BESTHOST GOOOOD... DREAMHOST BAAAAD
Ah, don't you love companies that don't represent themselves properly? So yesterday I bought evilcarrot.com, and I decided to give DreamHost.com my hard earned cash to host it. I paid for a year, got my happy little confirmation email, a brand spankin new ftp program, and for a couple hours I was happier than a pig in shit. That is, until I tried to configure my mail. Everything was coming in okay, but my outgoing mail was not working, so I consulted DreamHost's support pages.... turns out those bastards don't allow outgoing mail on their server! What kind of shit is that?! They say that it's in "an effort to stop spam." YOU CAN'T STOP SPAM! Everyone knows this...some is going to get through no matter what you do, so deal with it! So, being the picky customer from hell, I emailed them demanding my money back within 24 hours and if I didn't get it, I would call my credit card bank and dispute the charge. So either way those losers will not get their money. And what have we learned today kiddies? Do Not give your money to some damn web-based company that doesn't detail its faults along with its advantages! They are so unclear about what you get for your money in the first place! Oh well, fuck em. =)

NEED... SLEEP...
So the site is slowly growing. Here it is, 2:30 in the morning again... I don't think I've slept more than 4 hours per night because of this damn site. But it's coming along nicely. I'm learning a lot about Java and a little CGI Perl in the process though, and refining what little HTML I know as well. Today I created a form for the first time as part of The Dick List, which you should really check out and add to! It's pretty bare thus far, but I have a few people that have been bugging me to get it working just so they can post to it, and word is already spreading, so I think it's going to be fairly successful. In any case, I will be posting to it anytime some creep crosses me! Got my asshole ex up there as the Dick Of The Month already! I love being this creative. I'm supposed to be contributing a monthly column on Poisyn.com soon, and I might also feature a section on roadkill... but the details of that are to come later. For now though, I really need to hit the hay! Ciao.
