After reading my students essay today, I decided that I cannot be friends with (e:twisted) anymore, lol. So much for generation text and the age of the internet.
This is a quote from the student's response:
I feel the internet is like a whole separtate life. This social barrier things work fine if you keep your internet life on the internet. I don't think meeting people on the internet is the best thing to do because you never really know a person. Asking a guy you think is 18 about a book you read and meeting this guy who turns out to be a 46 year old guy is not something you want. So the internet does break social barriers but it is best to keep the internet people you know on the internet not into your real life.
Sounds like maybe he had a bad experience.

I love the new serverI am so excited to see that this server at monsterhosting.ca 
has had as much uptime as promised 99%, knock on silicon. Is still have one more account with th eold hosting co at Globat (slowcrap.com) and as usual that site is down today. When I called India, they once again told me they knew about the problem and were working on it, although it took the woman 10 minutes on hold to determine they already knew about it. I cannot wait till the day when I never have to deal with them again.

I have to go to bed - More inbound linksBut I needed to finsih some homework first (a texture for a curtain) and then decide to check the inbound links one more time for fun. I found a link coming fromthe site of Dr. Halavais, the professor [inlink]paul,2312[/inlink] I asked to be on my thesis committee.
From what I gather, hHe is teaching a class about blogs. He used our site as on of the examples for setting up blog feeds in a program called bloglines . The program could be useful to those of you who read the site via the RSS links.

FreakySO as usual I was following the links that lead to our site when I found devilfinder.com - what's weird is that they have of our most personal images catalogued on their system. I wonder why or how that happend. Go to and type in elmwood strip. If you are pretty connected you will know every person who's picture shows up. I like this one.
The site says that they are not responsible for content and that all images were found on google, yet I cannot find these images on google. Can anyone else?
