Code Jams are hard to explain. Until you have lived through one, or 6 like Mr. Potter and Gavin, you won’t truly appreciate what “Locked in a room for a week with 10 people” really means. But the Blogsmith Team + WIN Team + Puddles (aka. Pickles, Peaches, and/or Matt) are kicking some major ass? Why would anyone expect anything less?

Codejam 7 Cliff Notes (So far):

1. Happy Birthday Gavin
2. Sorry Christoph, I don’t see a parking garage…
3. Apparently in Vermont, they don’t teach you about Vermont until High school.
4. Alphabetical Laundry. Awesome.
5. “Bluestone Circle” — Sitting closer clearly doesn’t make them rock harder.

o. What happens in vegas, stays in vegas… ie. ATM Withdrawals…

o. The New Guns n’ Roses Band kicks Old Guns n’ Roses band’s ass… Axl is close to his last screech, he looked like he was hurting…

o. Ask 20 people what the Best Buffet in Vegas is, you get 20 Answers. Funny how some people think “Best” means “Cheapest”.

o. Engadget 2.0 — Gavin couldn’t of done it without me…

o. Blogging Orlando — Finally Orlando has a community for something… Lets hope they’re better than a LUG. Dear god LUG dorks suck…

o. CodeJam [Sept. 23rd to Oct 1st] — If I tell you any more, I’d have to kill you…

o. … In the meantime, Pittsburgh … :(

This months (October 2006) Playboy Playmate, Jordan Monroe, was born in 1986. Yup. April, 14th 1986 to be exact. Here are just a few events that have happened (in Just the 80’s), and she wasn’t even born yet:

1. Challenger Exploding [1986]
2. The recording and release of “We are the World” [1985]
3. Discovery/Identification of AIDS virus [1984]
4. Mary Lou Retton wins six medals [1984]
5. Prince Charles and Diana Spencer marry [1981]

Fell old? I don’t. 27 is the New 21… Which makes her, The new 14? ewww… I feel dirty…

On one of my other websites, MySpace users have been hyperlinking the hell out of my images. I see atleast 2-3k images being access a day from MySpace alone. I don’t
care about people hyperlinking on occasion, but I seriously hate MySpace — Deeply, Deeply, Deeply hate MySpace…

Anyways, to fight against these rude MySpacers, I built this quick .htaccess rule to redirect *.myspace.com to a gag image.

RewriteEngine on
# URI path of Image to Send to MySpace (So .htaccess doesn’t loop)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/myspace.jpg [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(.*).myspace.com [NC]
# URL of image to send to MySpace
RewriteRule .(gif|jpg|png)$ http://www..com/images/myspace.jpg [R,L]

Simple, Yet effective. I think my next round of attacks will be a little more obnoxious. — But in the meantime, Webmasters, do what you can to fight the war against MySpace Bandwidth Terrorist — Geroge Bush will thank you!

Just some real quick links. Enjoy!

1. It’s Tough being Me….
2. Tivo! Tivo! Tivo!
3. My New Grill — “Free Assembly is for the birds…”
4. Hottest thing since sliced bread on fire.
5. My New favorite Blog

I guess this season I’m going to try and actually become a UCF Knight fan… Which is a shame that it has taken me 10 years, considering UCF is like the 7th largest School in the USA. But at the same time has, we have a trend of having the worst school spirit anyone could Imagine. In fact, still to this day, if you go to any store within 10 miles of the school you can buy more UF, FSU, and UM schwag — If they even have UCF crap at all… For Instance, we had to go to campus to buy a shirt. Lame.

In honor of the Knights, The fight song:

UCF Knights March on the Field,
Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon,
Watermelon Blah blah blah Watermelon,
Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon,
Something Watermelon Watermelon,
Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon,
Watermelon Watermelon Something,
Watermelon Yadda-Yadda Watermelon,
Blah Blah Blah Watermelon Watermelon,

GOOOOOO! KNIGHTS!

…. I tried ….

This video worries me. I guess when you’re planning a wedding, every extra dime you have is going to pay for someones plate of “Fish, Beef, or Vegetarian Medley (Circle One)” — So you need to find cheap entertainment.

Zeus. Mindy. I think ya’ll need to find a new hobby. ;)

Finally! I have my own little space on the internet where I can play. Sure, those of you that know me, know that I have a few other blogs that I write for, but this one I’ll make kid safe so my mom can actually read it. ;)

In the meantime, make sure you check out Emurse.
