IT SURE IS GOOD WE INVADED!

Day by day I feel more and more venom and contempt for the Bush administration. Do you think the article below will hit the mainstream news? Maybe in 5 years or 10 when it's too late and doesn't matter anymore. The same goddamned fucking thing happened in Iran. The Bush administration is slapping itself on the back for having conned people into believing we 'liberated' Iraq and made it a better place. A better place for fucking religious asshole men, maybe. A better place for us to control and steal oil from, definetely! IT'S SO MUCH BETTER NOW!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Streamlining

Perhaps the best thing about moving is the opportunity to re-examine your rat's nest of treasures and get rid of a bunch of it. Certainly that's the perk for me. I realize now that part of the reason I've been so slow to start is that Stacey tells me it's not worth getting rid of X Y and Z small things because I should spend time packing. But it's not true. a cubic foot of stuff here, a cubic foot there, it really adds up. So tonight I'm on the cull! Much junkness will be eliminated.

Stacey isn't the only person that tells me to keep junk. I have dozens of old sketchbooks dating back to 1990. All of my artist friends say 'You should keep them, you'll regret it in 10 years if you don't!' and yet I have more than 10 years of sketchbooks and I wouldn't regret having got rid of them.

I do recognize that not everythign I did in the past was crap. There's stuff that was eureka moments and stuff that has sentiment to me and even a few things that are good concepts, no matter how badly rendered they might be. So what I think I'll do is go through at least all the spiral bound books and razorblade out the few bits I think are important to me and put them in a binder and toss the rest. It's 20 or 30 lbs of dead weight and 3 cubic feet of space that I can clear up. Also, if I have bits I care about in a pre-culled format, I'm a lot more likely to actually look at it. There's no need to be so attached to physical things.

Tonight, I clean!

(Virtual) Moving

So, what's a good webhost that's fairly cheap? I have ~250M of stuff but I could strip it down to well under 100M. I want something without advertising. I use TCL, Perl, PHP, and JavaScript but I could get rid of the TCL pretty easily.

The owner of TWU has been making a lot of racist statements about muslims and I cannot in good conscience continue hosting my stuff on his site, even if it is free. I can put up with a lot of things but I cannot tolerate racism. I downloaded my accounts and backed them up. I'm ready to move.
