Welcome to Session 1 of:

The Problem With People Today.

Today’s session’s topic is:

Hillbilly Rednecks Who Ask Questions Just To Ignore What You Say And Carry On Their Way Like They Know Better.

Let’s Begin.

I was asked a question not too long ago, well more of a series of questions and asking for information about a thing or two, computer related of course. Only to then after the long tedious amount of an 1 hour or so…or so it felt like anyway, have them throw away all which I had said and explained to them and say I don’t know what I am talking about…
Why even ask me? I have no idea, it just seemed like a waste of time, for both parties.
Now I know some people can be full of complete turkey fodder, but even so, when you have no actually knowledge on the topic, you can’t just say they don’t know what they are talking about, especially when it’s a hillbilly to me about computers, it’s like
Me: HDD
Hillbilly: HD Me?
Me: …P2P?
Hillbilly: OMG!
Of course they’d know of Peer to Peerness and all the Torrent related things, to a very small limited degree, but only about as much as
Torrents: Way to get all super cool stuff for free.
instead of something that has more in it then just free illegal downloads
Torrents: Way to get things (possibly) faster and less server side bandwidth intensive…Legal things at that…such as Linux Distros…and legal free MMORPG’s

If you are going to ask someone for information and help, if you don’t think it is correct, then fine, but there’s not need to even say then that they don’t know what they are talking about…EVEN MORE SO if they are in the profession work subject area thingy of it…where as you the hillbilly are in the profession and work subject area of being a hillbilly and slack jawed yak.

Hello…

Welcome to my first ever post of blogness.

Today I would like to talk about…erm…*looks around room* me I guess…woo so exciting!

I woke up today at about 10am, got out of bed around 11:30, had a drink of yellow tinted water with the flavour of fruit cup crush, then sat down here…where I have been pretty much the whole time till now, time being 2pm roughly. The things which I have done have been nothing much really, tweaked a bit of the settings here, checked some stuff at my mother’s website which I redesigned over the past 3 days, and ordered some cooking supplies…speaking of which I really need some food scales, it’s tough working by eye and feel.

Today there are no plans really, waiting for the weekend to come as usual. Although I should continue to reorganise my dvd collection and move some things about in my area so I have some more room to move about on my little chair. There are many boxes all around here, I like getting boxes in the mail…not because of the actual box though but because it means there’s stuff inside for me! wooo!

Just then…as in literally just then, I got word back from my local cd shop…now this cd shop more than 5 months ago I ordered a few cds and vinyls from, then over the few weeks after ordered maybe 3 or 4 more vinyls from…got word back maybe 2 month ago that for some reason and something or other they need to reorder it all for me…not too happy but fine since lots of it would have been import stuff anyway I guess…then today I get told that again it will all need to be reordered so I have to go down there with all the names of the things I want and get it sorted out again, then wait for it to come in…if it ever does come in…seriously thinking of just going ‘screw this in person stuff I’m going eBay’ which I really should have done from the start, prices are more then 3/4 of the time cheaper, but still I wanted to give the shop and in personness a chance…and boy oh boy did they blow it…grr. Having a turntable with no vinyls I can tell you is not fun and seems like a big waste of money…lucky for me I got myself a cd player so I had something to spend my time with.

Upon word back from the cd store I got my cooking goodies, so I am all set for tomorrow and Saturday for cooking up some yummyness for guests and such.

Signing Out,
Your Fiend in the Fridge,
Lil’ Demon Hunting Chap,
Master of Evil Muffins Lad,

Salem.
