For anyone who cares, I’ve just put the code for Owlog 0.90 up in the files section. It only contains two small updates, but it improves the blog a bit. Now we have plenty more entries logged in the ‘Old posts’ bit, and instead of replacing \n with
it is replaced with

. Much nicer.

And also relating the the blog…I’d like to take a moment to shoot almost every person who has posted a comment. I just read through them, and boy are there some stupid and random people about. One person I’d like to single out is the moron who said EV1 is awesome for bending over like a good little bitch and taking it in the ass from SCO in a blog entry talking about American Idol sucking. Way to stay on topic, dipshit!

And today I also read some random guy’s blog post about the FBI and USSS agents raiding his home and taking nine computers, his tivo, his xbox, and his copy of ‘music to massage to’ in relation to the HL2 source theft. They did this because he had lived with a suspicious individual a while back.

And let me tell you, if the FBI ever came knocking on my door and wanted my computers, they sure as hell wouldn’t get to walk right in and take them. Oh no sir!

First, I’d demand my lawyer before they even touched anything. Secondly, I would demand multiple disk images made on all harddrives before they were removed from the house. And I want them made in front of me and my lawyer. And some random drunk off the street. If they didn’t and they ‘found’ something on them, I would cry ‘bullshit! You planted that!’ and cause hell.

This also brings me to some other thoughts. According to the patriot act, ‘hacking*’ is a terrorist activity, and if you’re accused of it you have no rights. So the FBI and USSS could of walked right in, beat the shit from him, took his crap, and sent him off to Cuba instead of ask nicely and have him comply like a baby. I don’t like the idea of that.

And this patriot act. I don’t like it at all. ‘We need to be tough on this shit!’ is not a valid argument for it. Being ‘tough’ on ‘this shit’ hurts innocents, the very people the law is supposed to protect. Don’t reelect Bush. I’m betting if we do, this sort of crap will continue. Why not just move to China?

And while I’m on it, don’t elect Kerry either. We need a leader with a pair (not literally, Hillary) and a solid stance on … …everything. Or at least a solid stance on ONE thing.

And I’m about ranted out for now.
