Elrock...

Aimey is just her "American" name if that is what you are looking for. Yeah it is spelled Aimey. Something of a quirky spelling she came up with. Oh I was also wondering, what kind of woman do you like in prostitutes? You look like the kind that goes for slutty nubians with ghetto booty. Ill tell Jon if you have no objections. Just kidding.... Or am I?

I am so smart, I am so smart, S, M, R, T... I mean S, M, A, R, T.
I Like Them Thar Lunar Pages

When I get a chance, I'll look into it. Let's do it! Fuxorz Nexpoint! BTW, how do you correctly spell your woman's name, Enron? I have seen Aimee and Aimey, which is it?

Ehhhh... I think we are exceeding 20 megs with just the basic site and archives. Besides a lot of those 20 meg cheappy sites are fly by night and built on rickety networks/servers with low uptime ratings. The old addage you get what you pay for hold true. However a way that some money may be saved is saved is by looking into combining both 10d6 and TheActionTeam to one service. You may ask services if they will allow multiple domain names per account. Even if they charge a small monthly fee that could cut costs down. Maybe even you could get Studio9one2 on the same server and cut costs for both parties but have studio9one2 pay a larger share? Then again maybe they will not be down with that. Besides we are way underutilizing all three hosting environments. I would consider this a high priority. When you set it up I will throw down some cash to help the webhosting Superfund.

The one plan that stuck out was common across all three of these resources with high ratings was www.lunarpages.com. They have very good uptime, great user and editorial reviews. Besides all the servers are named after roman mythology gods. That ought to make motorbyke thrilled. Some of the other top sites had a little bit of user gripes with similar customer service issues as ours. But Lunarpages seemed relatively free of that. They are $7.95/Mo with free setup. Thats an annual of $95.40.

ANyway... Johnny I think AImey and I will be driving down to LA for T-day. Saves money. I have so much money burning coming up here in the next two months so I have to be careful. Blah!

5 bucks each

I'm telling ya - try out my shweet doteasy:

DOTEASY

$25 bucks a year. Pretty small as far as space goes (20 megs) but for our BLOG, seems like it should be enough. Just an idea...


Ugh...

Those Nexpoint sonsovbitches... anyway, I'm working on alternative hosting, if anyone wants to do some looking with me, feel free and give me the links.

I'm tired of telling the Nexpoint story. At least the site is up for now.
Took me forever to find this secret website

Don't ask me why I didn't think about looking on blogger. Mental block.

Anyhow! I see that I missed several posts. I think the biggest dissapointment is that jon can't make it. That's okay though, finances are understandible. You guys should try to save $$$ by driving.

Hey Elrick, do you have a bridal registry?? if not, SET one up! and let me know which site/sites.

Here's the latest schoop:

Aron, Saturday night, there is a big big party. Cover charge is 40 bucks if you feel like going. All you can eat sushi and sake and Asahi beer. Good deal really. Last year there was quite a turnout. I'm free pretty much anytime besides. Let me know when you plan on cruising on by.

The next 2 weeks 12-24th, I'll be in good ol' Taaaiwan! If anyone wants something made there, let me know. Er that includes beef jerky, dried plums, cheap trinkets, harlets and such. Thanksgiving at Jon's sounds like fun! but that weekend is going to be horrendous traffic wise. Unless maybe I can cruise with Aron. Dunno.

To do list:
1. Watch Last Samurai
2. Root against the Lakers

What a bunch of bastards. I noticed that 10d6 and Studio9one2 went down this morning. I remember last time we had an issue they were a bunch of jokers that time too.. Fuck 'em in the back now Eric. DO you think you will be able to get out of the contract? Hopefully you can since they have since they have been so responsive. You would think that for the amount shelled out a year for service they would do a better job. Sounds like they are acting as if this is www.tripod.com or something.

Beers with mexican food at lunch rule.... Zzzzzzzzzzzz.... Huh! What? Leave me alone Im sleeping. Oh sorry boss! I was just blinking my eyes for a second. They were sore.

actionteam secret website

Let's see, what have I been up to... I got Animatrix and the DVD of Spike Jonze videos from Netflix. I watched 3 of the Animatrix shorts and eh. Pretty bland so far. But I've heard a few of them are good so I'll keep watching.

Spike Jonze is my hero. Of course I've seen Sabotage and the one with Christopher Walken dancing around the hotel, but there are some amazing videos on here that I've never seen, like the Pharcyde one they filmed backwards and the funny-yet-sad one with Fatlip where he's riding a bike around town wearing an "Elmo" backpack.

One of my favorites is the Notorious BIG video where all of the rappers and partygoers are played by little kids. Seeing the kids looking like exact clones of rap superstars (including ten-year-old girls wearing hoochie outfits) is really, indefinably sad.

The Chemical Brothers video with the gymnastics competition is really good too.

Any of you guys seen this? It's definitely worth checking out, maybe even buying.
Hmmm..

Well I have been waiting hoping ThActionTeam would come back up. Whats the Dealio Elrock? Its been down a week now... D'oh!

Jon, that is a shame you can not make it this weekend. You can play a game with Johnny and I this weekend in spirit. Johnny, what days are you free this weekend? Or are you open the whole weekend? Speaking of which are you going down to LA for T-Day? I would like to hang out with everyone that weekend if possible. Aimey and I will be heading down. Give me a heads up.

Work is really getting sporadic as it gets closer to my final day. A lot of hurry up! Wait... I s/w my boss and set aside my last two days, the 10th and 11th of december, for GenCon. I am set to go. Johnny and I need to chat about travel arrangements this weekend. I may or may not stay a few extra days (Like monday and tuesday) after the con since I will probably be jobless at that point. I have not decided yet.

Blah!

The madness continues...

What's up with the site? Oh well, hopefully some of you guys will check this.

Enron/Jael, well unfortunately I won't be able to come up next weekend. I have been looking at my finances lately and what with the con coming up, Xmas gifts, and assorted other things, I probably had better not spend the dough. Sorry 'bout that.

Holy shit, my room looks like shit.

Rude--I checked out your site. Pretty nice! I'm looking forward to some cafebeats events....
