Day of Infamy

On September 24th, 2001, the site of OliverWEB was suddenly and deliberately attacked and defaced by the evil forces of the Empire of Minix.

It will be recorded that the many images changed by the Minix Empire makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Mind of Minix had deliberately sought to deceive OliverWEB by false statements and expressions of kindness and humor.

The attack yesterday on OliverWEB causes sever ugliness and l4m3n3ss to OliverWEB layout and design. Very many effects were lost. In addition, other images on OliverWEB and FTP password have been reported as being lost and/or destroyed.

Yesterday, Minix was also declared l4m3.

Last night, Minix slept happily despite his evil doings.

Minix Empire has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout OliverWEB and it’s many pages. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves.

As Ruler of OliverWEB, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

I now declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Minix on Monday, 24 September, a state of war has existed between OliverWEB and Minix Empire.

Now… I want my site back or you will die, punk.

Password

I was also going to get rid of the login/password thing on OliverWEB tonight by making it automatically log you in… which is a semi-crude way of doing it, since I would still be checking to see if you logged in on every single page… kinda stupid.

As a result, I decided to do it the real way and actually remove all the password/login checking codes from the pages (the “elegant” way)… so um… the login/password thing will be there a while longer. Lo siento. =)

I watched Van, AJ, and I’s Spanish project again today… great stuff, I’m going to have to try to put it on OliverWEB and put up subtitles… quality is really really poor though… we weren’t exactly the best filmers. =)

Argh!

Um… well.. yeah… I was playing around with NewsPro and was upgrading to Coranto (the new NewsPro) except… after I did that, I found out that there was no talkback upgrade for it yet… so… I switched back to NewsPro.

Only thing is… I accidently overwrited the users file so now none of you can update. Oops.

Anyone who wants their account back, send me an email with requested password.

Story Time!!!

Once upon a time, there lived a boy. This boy really badly wanted to be a fisherman when he grew up. He dreamt about it every night. While he was awake, he would imagine plans for getting to such a high post. One day, he told his father that he wanted to be a fisherman.

“Daddy! I want to be a fisherman!”

His father groaned, and after a long pause, responded. “Son… You know how I’ve always told you you could be anything you wanted to be, if you set your mind to it?”

“Oh yes daddy!”

“Well I lied… the truth is the world is a huge trap. You grow up, you dream, your dreams get stuffed into your throat, and you’re placed somewhere with just enough money to survive, and you’re forced to stay there, because if you leave, you starve.”

“No no daddy! That’s not true!” Shouted the little boy. “I will be the exception!”

And the boy tried to be the exception, he did everything he could… but unfourtanetly, he didn’t realize, that everyone else was also trying to be the exception… they all got trapped, including the ambitious little boy, and everyone went about their lives with their heads held low, pretending to be happy, but inside, knowing that they were nothing and unimportant.
