I’m sure in a week, Make will come up with some droll and annoying way to reuse its components, at least.

So you can export your children’s future overseas while you teach them about fear and Republican opportunism.

Now *that’s*. Depressing.

Somehow, that sounds about as fun as playing “Claims Adjustor” or “Sociologist” for a child.

Actually, seeing these sorts of toys surprises me little, after seeing the establishment of some vile organization called ‘Homeland Security’ come into being with this … wretched … presidency.

“Homeland Security” has a ring to it that smacks of expressions like “Protecting the Fatherland” and “Mother Russia”. I feel like our society is being savagely (and anally) raped for being so fucking stupid as to allow such a damned stupid thing to come into being.

Not even 4 decades have passed since we separated the CIA from the FBI in an attempt to reduce the powers of state after seeing what Hoover could do to this country, when some bumbling idiot claiming to be a Texan, holding a C-average education that his parents probably bought him (the grade, not just the education), forces an organization called ‘Homeland Security’ up our collective asses.

The only good thing about it, is that they can’t get their head out of their ass long enough to do any real damage with it, thanks to sheer stupidity.

In a metaphorical way, I can’t help but feel that “Homeland Security” is like an intellectual full body cavity search done not so much for the information they could glean, as just the sheer fun of the act itself.

Yeah, Amusing.org not updating IS pretty depressing. But think of how much WORK it is for Spinn! I mean, he’s gotta pick something funny someone else said! And then he’s gotta click a button! Give the poor guy a break.

Okay.

Currently there’s a problem that any data going into amusing.org is getting backslashes before every quote/doublequote character. I don’t have the option of turning magic_quotes_gpc off on my server, so I can either 1) post-fix the inputs or 2) switch to php5 on amusing.org.

I tried (1) two months ago. Some reason my code doesn’t do it. I don’t know why, I haven’t had time to investigate. (2) I tried, but unfortunately I wrote these scripts back before I knew what register_globals is about, which, if you don’t know what that means, means I have to comb through my submission page and admin page to find “bad” variables and replace them with good ones. Until I get the time and motivation to do either of things, I have to do (C): every time I accept a group of submissions, I have to manually go into the database and correct the slashes. Which, incidentally, applies to your submissions, because of the quote in your alias.

None of which is pressing a single button, okay?

Right now I have some motivation for programming (the good news) but it’s on an entirely different personal project (the bad news for you) that I’m hoping will make me money (the good news for me). Honestly, your snarkiness does not increase my motivation to do anything for you.

Gotta love those action words: “WOOSH items through security!”
