1&1 Sales: A Story of Fail

As some of you may already know imgDump.info has successfully used up the file limitations on it’s host. In order to address the issue and continue to expand imgDump I’ve contacted the host, 1&1.

The email I sent them is as follows. (Minus a few spelling mistakes I’ve only noticed now >_<)

Hello,

I have been a customer of 1&1 for a long time now with two separate hosting accounts.

Recently I have hit the file quota on my one account, 255,410 of 262,144 used. My storage space and bandwidth quota are still well within reasonable bounds. read more

Gurren Lagann: The Dub Review

The Gurren Lagann dub premiered for the first time on Sci-Fi tonight…

The short and simple of it? It’s not so bad.

So dub’s often get a bad rap, often for good reason. With much anticipation Gurren Lagann fans with little or nothing to do sat around and watched the premiere of the first two dubbed episodes on the Sci-Fi Channel. And boy, what a commercially studded event that was (more on that to come, trust me (fucking Sci-Fi)).

For those unfamiliar with the show, you’re way behind the times. You can read up on Gurren Lagann here and check out a ton of Gurren Lagann images (including the cut Eye Catches) here. Unfortunately this is set to hit as big as Evangelion, and be ruined by a shitty fan base shortly there after. read more

Layman’s Gunpla Guide – Airbrushing Tutorial

Introduction

Airbrushing can be sound pretty daunting to a lot of folks. It may not be the simplest way to go about painting your kits. Nor the least expensive way to start out. Yet the time and energy spent into learning, using, and maintaining your equipment will no doubt pay off with some of the best paint jobs imaginable.

Starting off with airbrushing requires a bit of an investment; airbrush, compressor, and various little bits and pieces to bring it all together. Setup can run anywhere from $75 all the way to $500 and beyond. Buying the most expensive equipment doesn’t mean you’ll be a master anymore than lower end products will ruin your kit, it’s all in how you use it. Currently I use a Badger Renegade Velocity along with a Badger Airstorm compressor. read more

FCC closer to allowing XM/Sirius merger, but not without throwing shit into mix

According to Twice the long awaited* XM/Sirius merger is closer to approval from the FCC. Unfortunately they have decided to throw a wrench into the gears with a some bullshit additional requests…

The conditions would require the merged company to include HD Radio on any satellite radio product it subsidizes that also includes an AM/FM tuner, according to an Associated Press report. Stipulations would also include a six-year freeze on service fees and that Sirius and XM devote 25 percent of spectrum to minority and public-interest programming, said the AP. Adelstein’s staff could not confirm the conditions at press time. read more

ArtsNow.com: Shirt Review Part 1

The other week on /m/ a link to ArtsNow.com appeared along with a few nifty coupons. Taking the opportunity I ‘designed’ a few shirts and placed an order. A week and a half later a bag arrived on my doorstop, a customs declared gift, complete with return address to a random Hong Kong P.O. box. This is the story of those shirts…

About the Designs

For the designs I used some nice vectors with transparent backgrounds. If you’re interested…

Team Gurren Logo (Gurren Lagann) (close, looking for original version)

“F**k You” “No, Fuck You!”

Fuck

Of the 600,000 plus words in the English language fuck is probably one of the most versatile and the most used. Yet for some bloody reason it remains the most censored, something I can’t quite wrap my head around it.

I could go go on and on about how words are simply sounds clumped together for communication. I could go on and on about how these hodgepodges of noise mean nothing without the meaning behind them, their syntax and situation, their semantics. That, however, is really for another time and place. (In this case, another article)

Parallel Works’ third episode is now viewable online…

http://www.gurren-lagann-movie.net/gurrepala/interview/flash.html

While the music is great, it sucks compared to last weeks pinball (okay, not pinball, but the weird Japanese casino game with the balls shit) was better.
