Ch-ch-ch-ch Changes


Behind the scene stuff mostly.

Those inclined can view the new almost fully updated About page.

Can’t believe I wrote that 3 years ago and never altered it.



TO: All Residents of Houston


FROM: Groonk
This is what’s coming for you:

Please, get the fuck out!

Just for a little while.

There’s no need for more tragedy that can be avoided.

Thank you,

Tips on Donations


Anyone wishing to donate to the Red Cross to help Katrina survivors should check out this page first to avoid scams and the like. Or you can just go to the Red Cross’ main page and follow the instructions from there.

I’ve provided a more permanent link to the tip donation page on the top right side of my blog page.

Donate as little as 5 bucks(the price of a grande latte at Starbucks or one simple meal at McDonald’s or Burger King) and help make a difference.

Also, BoingBoing has a long list of things you, the every person, can do to help out.

Bad Input


I’m having major computer malfunctions recently. I’ve set up a temporary solution but this machine won’t be able to handle my daily school/personal workload much less maintaing this site.

So updates will be intermittent yet again.

Quiet…


…too quiet.

Hard Drive died.

There was a funeral.

Flowers. Crying. Lost porn.

Very sad.

Hope to be back up to snuff soon.

In the meantime, have a rainbow.



That's it


If I can’t find a way to curtail the amount of spam I get through my comments, I’m gonna delete the bastard outright.

I just found my own url spamming… myself… and that shit just won’t fly.

It’s become a bother to go through and despam something that’s currently a hobby.

Slowly, Surely, Deeply


I’m actually making headway with my noise.

It helps when Movable Type actually installs correctly. Many thanks to Loren at Logjamming.com for making it all possible.

That pitcher of Guinness is in the mail, Loren.

By the by, kiddies, the comments are back online here and on the newsmine.



In Flux


You may have noticed a few changes here and there and then nothing. No, I’m not finished. Yes, I will continue.

My time is not me own lately, so things are changing slowly.



Happy New Year


I hope your holidays were festive and fattening as mine were.

I had hoped to begin new year posting on the newer, slimmer groonk.net but that plan must be postphoned for a short while.



No Longer a Grinch


The Christmas spirit has temporarily possessed me. It began with listening to Vince Guaraldi’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” which always, always fills me with holiday cheer and continued with me listening to my rahter formidable Christmas rock collection ad nauseum. So you can imagine that I was estatic to find rare holidays downloads such as Hooray for Santy Claus remixed, an even rarer Beatles Christmas download from the 1960s, and last but not least, Bit Shifter’s 8-bit version of “Let it Snow.” If only I could find a Christmas mix disc like the Halloween disc offered up last October.

My comments continue to be closed. You can thank aggressive spammers for this. Until I can get the latest Movable Type downloaded and setup on my gracious host(Logjamming). A feat that requires me to make an archive of all existing posts, remove the existing MT and reload the new one. In other words bunch of shit that won’t happen until after the new year.

If you have anything that must be heard by me just click the Groonk link below and email it. If you’re known by me personally, contact me through the usual means.

That is all.
