Slashdot

Hello, /. community types, disidents, trolls, my fellow americans. It has been a long time no write. In the time since I was last active a lot of shit has happened to me. I left my wife of 4 years. I made new friends, got my own place. Got 4 piercings and a large new tattoo (my 12th). Still write code for the same company. Still have my cat and my hand to fuck (I meant to say I still have my cat and I can always fuck my hand, n/e hoo...).

This is the state of the Big Ass Spork. Living the single life, getting used to being alone...

I have 666 comments as BAS and would like it to stay that way. So I am going to stop using this account. It has been a nice ride, thanks for all the support these last few years. I Do It Wrong, ASCII GoatSe (not originally mine, but I posted it a bunch...), Random cut and paste crapfloodz, the spectacular (while it lasted) UAG crapfloods made possible by on by, a true hacker, and all the other depressing shit I have posted. Its been real.

First this: Karma: Bad (mostly affected by moderation done to your comments)

Then this:

Slashdot only allows a user with your karma to post 2 times per day. You've already shared your thoughts with us that many times. Take a breather, and come back and see us in 24 hours or so.

If you think this is unfair, please email jamie@mccarthy.vg with your username "Big_Ass_Spork".

Surely it has been seen by others in the community. I have written the follow email to Mr. McCarthy in response:

Dear sir,
    I do not understand this new restriction that has been levied against me. I already post replies to articles at -1, removing my input from the view of the general public, now I can not post more than *2ce* a day? I believe this harms more than it helps. I for one will be making disposable account after disposable account. This just fills your user table with a bunch of junk! Let's save VA Software some harddrive space and relax! I have a long list of anonymous proxies, plus I can give myself countless email addies for reg'ing new accounts. What has this accomplished? I have used my BAS account for a long time, now with my CF'ing crippled, I will become the biggest karma whoring SOB there is. When I can post with a +1 bonus, we shall see what kind of posting gets done.

Thank you for your time in this matter,
The Poster Formerly Known As Big_Ass_Spork

Here in El Paso, Texas, there are a shitload of concerts all piled on top of each other! Last night (6/3/2002) I saw the Eagles. I was skeptical at first, not considering myself a big fan. But, it was the best show I've ever been to, and I have seen a lot of bands! Tonight (6/4/2002) I am going to go see Danzig at El Paso's Far West Rodeo. Been a fan since high school (circa 1991), gonna kick copious amounts of ass! My wife and I are still in the air as far as seeing Kid Rock tomorrow, considering the Eagles cost us over $250 after tickets ($85 each), a $50 shirt, beer was $5.50, etc... All in all worth it! We are planning on seeing the Rolling Stones next year, gonna make a trip of it. Love the live rock! /.'ers: What shows are coming through your town? Are you going? Do ticket prices affect your choices?

**UPDATE**
Kid Rock cancelled the El Paso date... Guess that decision was made for me ;)
