OwlManAtt’s Blog

Hello, all of you dumbfucks from TWG. I just checked the TWG comments on kronik, and they’re all about my site being listed. So I’m going to pretty much OWN every one of you little bitches in the next few words.

• The site is listed because Kronik closed, and I decided to use *my* domain for *my* site. God forbid, eh? When it closed, the owner did not remove the listing from TWG. I do not have access to the listing to change it.
• This site was not an ‘OPG nightmare’. I find it amusing that people can accuse programmer’s blood, sweat, and tears of being OPG. If you do not know what the fuck you are talking about, SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!
• The TWG webmaster has been contacted, but to no avail. It isn’t my fault.
• Stop trying to act like a self-righteous Jesus freak. Reporting everyone won’t do jack shit. During my time as a mod/admin we never banned anyone for the simple reason of them being able to walk around it with ease. Don’t waste your time. You sound stupid, too.
• I don’t care if you kiss my ass now. You are all deminished in my sight. You are a bunch of idiots. A bunch of racists.

And with all of that said, I now return to normal postings…

What I’m about to state is all gathered from one person, who was involved in the following incident. I was in no way, shape, or form involved. I do not garentee the objectiveness of the following content. Hell, I haven’t even verrified from a second source if any of it is /true/. But I trust my sources enough to give you a breif bit on it and a responce.

There was an incident in school today. During the art class of another grade, there was some unwanted contact between peop;le of opposite genders. (Yes, I know that sounds bad. It really isn’t as terrible as that wording sounds, I mearly want to be vauge in case someone checks this and decides to sue me for some reason or another.) One party responsible for initiation of the contact blamed a third party who had no involvement so far. With luck, there was a witness.

So at the end of the day, our class spots one teacher with a few studens out in the hall, and DAMN did she look pissed. Mrs. Couden had trouble keeping everyone from running to the door to watch the action.

So, I’m on the bus riding home and I ask one of the people involved wtf was going down. Yes, I know. It isn’t my business. Sue me. Or rather, don’t…

They inform me of the story, and holy shit I was pissed. It wasn’t the ‘fuck you, you peice of shit’ pissed. It wasn’t the ‘ouch that hurt now I’m going to brood’ pissed. It was the ‘HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU DO THAT YOU LITTLE SHIT YOU BETTER SLEEP WITH ONE FUCKING EYE OPEN TONIGHT!’ pissed. Had a certian person been present on the bus, I’m sure I would be in some trouble for starting a fight right now. (And for the record, I have never even been involved in a fight. I’m not the type to start beating on someone, I much rather make them look stupid.)

So why was I angry? This all boils down to a POLITICAL THING. Yes, a political thing. I love politics.

You see, I’m into the equal treatment thing. I’m down with gay rights, womens rights, privacy, the EFF, blablabla. If anyone says they’re being oppressed (and have a valid argument. I’m tired of the whole black-dude-saying-the-cops-beat-him-up-to-gain-publicity thing. Yes, sometimes it happens. But come on, racism isn’t /that strong/ in America.), I’ll support them.

So I was pissed because this one dude did something he shouldn’t. After all of that explaning, I can state my entire opinion in a handful of words. So here they are…

How would he like it happening to him? How would he like to be thought of as a sex toy?

So yea. I was angry. Next topic.

Got into the StarLock beta. Testing begins saturday. I have no idea what I’m testing, but I’ll test it.

I’d also like to touch on cyberpets for a minute. Few enough of you know what went down, as I mostly shut up after the initial posting to keep it from going on forever. I have a paper I could publish that would shit on their reputation, but I don’t want to. Maybe some day, far in the future, as a last will and testement it will be released. But not now.

Ah, but I’m getting off topic. I wanted to point something out. Broker is selling my, our, everyone’s work for $400. According to the staff agreement, he owns the copyright. So I have no choice, eh? Wrong. There is some law saying any minor can declare a contract invalid or something along those lines. Why have I not chosen to do this? Frankly, I don’t know. However often broker wants to say that I never did anything, and that Red did all of the work, he would not have that site today. Sure, red did do a lot of user shit. But without me, he would of had /zero/ administrative tools. I had quite a few intuitive things, along with the standard set of admin tools. You see, everything I did is pretty much hidden away behind admin-only doors. I’ve also done a lot to the main include files. Blablabla. But whatever. I don’t care. Just making this known.

Mm. I’m done for now. I don’t know if I’ll feel motivated enough to post tomorrow. See you when I see you, eh?

Recently gotten into a cheezy RPG called Furcadia. It’s something you wouldn’t expect me to enjoy at first. Once you get beyond the fact that for the most part it’s a glorified version of AIM (And yes, I say AIM because it isn’t exactly an open protocol, but people have back-engineered it), and still damn fun. Some interesting folks on there, I’ll tell ya.

Theres a scripting language used on the maps you can make called DragonSpeak. The editor, which is a hacked up version of notepad, doesn’t work under WINE. The text gets garbled up when you try and work in it. So after some research, I find that all of the dragonspeak is kept in two files. I’m going to attempt to write a parser, make a GUI text editor, and have it set up like the modified notepad. It’ll probably turn into a mess, but it’s worth a shot.

And now, on to the Yahoo story.

Some dipshit cracked my mom’s yahoo account and changed all of the info. No lost-password recovery thing, because the birthdate, zipcode, secret question, etc etc were changed. We had gotten an e-mail saying the password was changed, with a nice IP at the bottom.

So, I take the e-mail and find the IP. I run some scans/traces, and find that we have a german (Or european, at least) windows user on our hands. (With plenty of services open. I dropped his IP into the nice happy cracker chat room. God help him. Yes, I know the IP could of changed to some innocent person by now. Shoot me.)

After half an hour of looking, I finally find yahoo’s god damn (long distance) number. I get a tech on the phone and start crying about it. He asks for my mom, so I give the phone to her. He transfers her to account security. I sit in the phone for 45 minutes (Poor phonebill) listening ot crappy music that sounds like it came from some shitty gameboy game (Pokemon music…gah!) and finally get a tech. She has my mom tell her the old information, which they have logged. She gets a new password. None of her groups were fucked with, none of her moderator powers abused.

So with that done, I proceed with trying to read the ISP’s german abuse page. After 20 minutes of translating stuff, I send them an e-mail. Shortly after, I get a reply saying that they pulled the bitch’s plug. (I love their service. Either they have some -really- good logs, or he did this a few times before.)

So, another win for the Owly.

Moral: Don’t fuck with my shit. It won’t end well for you.

Time for a project update. I haven’t given one in a long time. I haven’t even posted in a while. =X

The /cp2 CoE remake was under development, until I got bored and decided to not do anything. Only the regiser, login, logout, and dragon stats pages work. There *is* a lot going on in the background though, so it isn’t like all I did were 5 lines of code.

I’ve also been doing some independent development for kikopets. I wrote them a game, redid two of their scripts, and I’m currently working on a forum. This forum leads me to my next announcement…

I am currently working on OwlForums, another opensource project. The forums will feature the same things as my CoE forums did, except with streamlined backend and a sort of API thing, making it easy to set the forums up for your site.

We also have the SNS. I pretty much forgot all about it. Uhm…Yea.

Oh, and another announcement! I will be redoing this site soon. The code needs some revamping, as I did it when I just started using OO code, so it’s a bit of a mess. I might redo the layout, because it looks horrible in IE. Then again, I might block IE all together and have it show a page on why ANYTHING is better than IE.

Having fun in #NixSec (irc.prison.net). Talking about random bullshit and complaining about lamers running the DoS script on HBX, etc etc. Yes, funfun.

Dumped Fedora today, mainly because yum was pissing me off. Not enough packages in the fedora repos, so I switched to debian. I’ve got everything under the sun now. Securing it as we speak.

Haven’t done much this week. Been in IRC with talon and friends. Their channel got stolen and a little war broke out. It was hilarious to see the guys who took it over disconnect one by one thanks to a dDoS attack.

Also got a FreeBSD shell from hbx.us today. As far as I can tell FreeBSD is pretty much the same as linux. I find hbx a bit strange, since they seem to want people to crack from their shells. That’s just asking for a raid in my opinion. =/

Heard that retard from American Idol today on the news? I’m not actually sure if he was a retard, I think I heard he was though. But whatever. I’m wondering how the hell he landed a record deal? I mean, wtf? He sounds like shit.

And the news just keeps playing clips…over and over…and over…Gah. Assholes.

Edit
I’ve come up with a project I’ll be working on in the next few days (so in a week or so I’ll start thinking about working on it) that I’ll do. I’m going to develop some sort of script or something that’ll display information about my boxen on this site. Sounds fun.
