What's new at EricBrooks.Com plus news and gossip all over CyberTown
Some new developments on the EricBrooks.Com site & stuff.
I suck.
I know that.
I think I’ll spend the day dropping in on all my cyberpals in the blogosphere and let you guys know I love you, ok?
And if you’re up for some fun, register at Problem Adults. We have HUGE group chats every Wednesday and Saturday nights (that’s tonight!)… make some friends have some fun!
WOO HOO! My four millionth visitor walked in today at 10:02:22 AM!
Congratulations! You won a can of Turtle Wax!!!!
Damn, too bad this site was closed for two years, I’d be at 6 million by now.
ICE CREAM PARTY FOR EVERYONE!!!!
PS: Awwww, it seems the pathetic and delusional Wayne Meyers is still obsessing and brooding over me dissing him.
*points and laughs at this unimportant individual*
I feel I need to share that with you.
If charsets were athletes, UTF-8 would be in the special olympics and have a special handicap sticker on it’s car!!! GAWD!!!! ARRRRGH!!!!
Currently I’m doing a MySQL database which features musicians with lots of wild schwas and tildes and accents. My host (for reasons that elude me) now has it so the data converts to UTF-8. So artists like Mel Tormé and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen turn into illegible words with question marks.
This is why I still use ISO-8859-1 for my charset, I mean how will Mötley Crüe survive the internet with such a restrictive and retarded charset like UTF-8??? I have since had to drop my “®” from WHUZZUP!® because most feeds crash from it.
So if you need these funky characters you can use this chart.
Whoever you are that came up with UTF-8… I hate you too.
I just stumbled on this trying to find out what the hell happened to Reverend Mykeru…
Kinja Card for WHUZZUP – It’s… it’s…
Well, I don’t know what it is, but it’s pretty cool! And it ties in to Technorati, Way Back Machine, Alexa and all sorts of goodies. Continue reading “Kinja Cards? How cool!”
New Rant in SoApBoX…
Do Onto Others (Until They Know How It Feels)
Most of you have heard my music here before. For those that have thought “Jesus Eric, what did you do, stick your radio in front your computer microphone???”
Well, you were right. 😀
But now I rigged up my stereo to my computer to re-record them, with Sound Forge give them a little compression, boost and reverb… and now here they are again, plus a few other ones I never put out (One in particular to someone very special to me).
Plus, I’ve updated them in my RIP Rockstar miniseries. So they are no longer home-made mono pieces of crap…
They’re now home-made pieces of crap in STEREO! Enjoy! 😀
Wow. I didn’t post a damn thing in October, now did I?
Well, you know… I didn’t have anything worthwhile to say. Got comment spammers kicking my ass here and on the guestbook, and I’ve been spending most of my time behind the scenes cleaning their garbage up.
Chocolate season is upon us, and I’m now busy getting CB Gifts back up and running.
I think you already know most of my time is spent on Problem Adults. Lots of good people, lots of fun. It’s much like the lunacy here, only multiplied to the UMPTEENTH power by all the other personalities there.
Why you’re HERE reading THIS when you can be over THERE making a name for YOURSELF… I have no clue.
It’s official.
From here on in, comments will have to be manually approved by me.*
I am so sick of ads for prescription drugs, making my dick bigger, home loans and Texas Hold ’em tips… (I play blackjack. That’s it.).
Soapbox and Whuzzup comments now are thrown in a queue for approval and I need to write a script for my spamtastic guestbook to do the same.
I hate you assholes. I really do.
* Time frame? How’s “whenever the hell I get around to it” grab you?
Ask and shall be given.
Beg like a pathetic loser (something I’m exceptionally good at), and one of your all-time favorite web artists will come through for you.
Lots of beautiful Mother’s Day E-Cards by Aspirations In Design.
(Of course, I’m always looking for more stuff and more than happy to give credit, gang.)
Send Jann some love for me…what an angel!
THANK YOU!!!!
In her honor, a blast from the past… an Aortal Link (ooh, the nostalgia!):
Beatallica – A generation X’er’s dream come true! And it’s ok, you can LEGALLY download their songs.
To Celebrate May Day… I offer the latest rant:
Nice guys (and girls) finish last at work too.
A great tutorial on Making iTunes (and other fancy) buttons for all the graphic artists in the house.
A site worth checking out: Our own lil’ Yankee Dyke has set up her own message board for us all to hang out. Check it out, and give her a hand getting the ball rolling.
