I hate my web host, + extra miscellaneous rage

When cultural elements colide and make a slightly retarded mess

Holy crap do I hate my current web host.

To be fair, it's not just them specifically, but certain business practicies in general.

See, I wish that companies would put a lot of effort into making a decent service or product, rather than sinking all of their efforts into thwarting people from trying to leave. If you fucking pricks took the team who went out of their way to design a nearly inscrutable and buggy web registration transfer system and applied them to maybe setting up databases and services that didn't suck a camel's nutsack maybe I wouldn't be trying to get as far away from your craptastic company as possible.

Dickheads.

I mean, really, what the fuck can a person do with a 100 meg cap on an SQL database? I had to purge my entire indexing table so that I still have room on this stupid site for everything to keep functioning, and trust me, I don't get a whole hell of a lot of traffic here.

I've run into the same shit with some other crappy companies, like credit card companies, magazines, and pretty much anything that's subscription based. Once again, here's a hint: I feel I need to be redundant and repeat myself: Instead of making it difficult for people to bail on your bullshit and nearly useless service, work on making your stuff suck less.

I've been meaning to do a tremendous number of updates and build a new theme from scratch, but I've been holding off while I get this hosting issue resolved. Hopefully some of this aggravating drek will resolve itself next week, although my entire life thus far has geared me towards anticipating further disappointment and disatisfaction with pretty much any company I deal with.

Which is good, because it means I have the mental fortitude to handle a pretty large truckload of failure from people and businesses I have to deal with.

This daily does of cynicism has been brought to you courtesy of 1and1 internet host, Sirius/XM satellite radio, and Hartford Toyota. May you all rot in hell for sucking. Oh yeah, and IE7: you suck too. And Apple; you also suck. I like the iPhone 4 a lot, and I don't give a fuck that it can lose some signal if you poke the proverbial soft spot in its proverbial malformed infantile skull, but you're still raging assholes for scaming people with that fucked up signal algorithm all these years and trying to kill off flash and lying about the real motives behind it. Oh, and people who develope fully flash based websites: You're fucking clueless. Flash was never intended for such a fucktarded usage. Way to break browsing continuity, douchebags.

Who else can I rant about?

Ok, soft targets now. Democrats: go fuck yourselves. Republicans: go fuck yourselves, twice. Teapartiers: first go fuck yourselves, then kill yourselves. Glenn Beck: I hope you go blind, you pasty faced mutant. Mainstream Media: you suck, and you're spineless; Rolling Stone magazine owned your worthless asses. Fox News: you suck, you're completely fucking delusional, and like it or not you tools are mainstream media, you fucks just cater to the lowest common denominator of media consumers.

Hmm... who am I forgetting?

Well, lots of people and companies and such. I think that's good enough for now though.

ETA: Almost forgot, Andrew Breitbart is a true scumbag. I hope he gets raped in prison some day for his lies and scams. There are enough problems in this country without schmucks like him manufacturing fake racial tension.

...

Oh yeah, the picture! I dunno, I was trying something new with perspective and mashing different cultural style elements together. I think it's actually a pretty shit pose now that I look at it a few weeks after drawing it, but the character has potential.

wtf

That drawing is warping my brain... mayan? aztec? chinese? victorian? Boxing Gloves?!?!

That said a plushy of this would be nine kinds of awesome.

Plushy? Hmm...

That would be weird.

Another option is http://www.patchtogether.com/

They make these cool little figures based off of drawings artists submit that get voted on. I haven't submitted anything yet, but I've been thinking about it.

You can't handle the Tru,.. I mean, the Wierd!

Dude, there are Cthulu plushies, and dismember-able zombie plushies. A steampunk top-hat wearing Aztec/something boxer? Not as wierd as you might believe... Okay now that I wrote it out, kind of wierd. I'm not sure he'd work as well as a figurine.

Now, the Steamvolt characters? Pick one, any one. I think they'd make great figurines. Cecil the Bartender figurine complete with a bar in front of him. Although Patch would probably charge a couple hundred for that. Instead you could go for the fan service and make a figurine of the scene where Gretchen rest her boobs on the dwarf's head.

awesome drawing - I second

awesome drawing - I second the plushie idea
