Some midnight maintenance
Just a quick note that I’ve added our new aStore to the navbar above. Check it out if you haven’t already. The navbar sucks, I know. The whole site layout is not what I’d like; I need to find some time for a major rebuild. “How is it an unemployed guy doesn’t have the time?”…

I’m talking over the Internet with a microphone!
Good news, everyone! You’re going to deliver a shipment of super-concentrated manure to Crapulon 4! (Sorry, I get on a Farnsworth tangent whenever I open a post like that.) Seriously, good news. I’ve finally got my audio equipment hooked up correctly on my computer. I’ve been anxious to use Skype for a while now. So…who…

And now a brief word from our sponsor
Play it big. Don’t crowd around that tiny computer monitor. Play your PC games on the big screen with the power of Intel® Viiv™ and HP®. I hope you’ll all give this a click just once before the campaign ends this month. I had to take off the ad banner because we’d actually maxed out…

Great, now I’m addicted
[UPDATE: Half a day late, it occurs to me that “The ‘a’ in aStore is for Addictive” would have been a way way funnier subject line.] This stupid “Monitor Duty aStore” is just too much fun! Or maybe it’s a lot of work. I can’t really tell at the moment. Aside from talking to Beau…

Here on Monitor Duy, our comments get spammed all the time. Our trackbacks get spammed. Our message…

Ultimate Spam-Fighting Championship
I’ve had to turn up the spam-sensitivity of our system to deal with all of the comment spam our site has been getting. A lot of it has been getting through and I know the contributors to the site are annoyed by it. So 24 hours ago I cranked up the spam-detector’s sensitivity level just…

Behave yourselves
UPDATED — Campaign over, links removed. I’ll be back in a few days. You all behave yourselves. I was up late last night working on something new for the site, but it will have to wait until next week to debut, along with my FallCon report. These are the last few days here for the…

I’m off to ride in the Batmobile!
See you guys at FallCon! And if I DON’T see you this weekend, put it on your calendars for 2007. It’s always the first weekend in October.

Cry for Moolah!
UPDATED — Campaign over, links removed. Enough comics for the day. I’ll be back with more tomorrow. Now, for a bit of personal ranting. As most of you know, I lost my job at the end of July and I’m still unemployed. Here’s hoping that FallCon brings in a few bucks. I’ve been making some…
