Hit me baby one more time.
Category: estrip
As (e:vincent,46885)'s journal reminded me - it is amazing just how many hits certain things get. Generally we get between 1000-2000 unique visits viewing between 80k-100k pages per month. Those are real visitors, not robots.

But on Novemeber 21st, 2008 we had like 10,000 unqiue visitors, that was the day we had ip to 500 guests at a time for most of the day. I thought (e:imk2,46778)'s journal about prince william's peter, lol.

Then today I was going through logs and found out it was the opening page of my journal of 11/2005 . I am not sure exactly why. There is a pic of my skinny arm getting some muscles, a painting of men wrestling, some forrest lawn pics, some flash animation, the story about me getting my job at Roswell and some pics of (e:lilho). I wonder if the job story is inspirational, lol or if it is just the wrestlers. The artist in me likes to think it is the flash animations and I am sure (e:lilho) thinks it is her.

The reason I think it is the painting of the guys wrestling is that I got this message the same day.

Hi Paul, please do You know the name of the artist who painted those two muscle guys? I really liked that painting: it Seems taken from Dante's Divina Commedia. Do You remember any detail (where You've taken the picture, the title, ecc). I would like to find more info on that painting.

Thank You very much
Stefano



Does anyone know the artist? I tried writing to the guy today to see how he knew. It seems sex sells. The all around most popular page is the one I wrote about a bot I made which was downloading images of amateur naked men and atheletes. Just search for "robot frat boys" on google if you are curious. It comes up number one and is totally not work safe. It was really about programming and usually no one cares about that but mix programming and nudity and all of a sudden every amateur scripter cares.

I must get like 5 messages a week asking me how it works. Clearly, this person does not understand at all but hey want to. The site is gone now, so the code doesn't work even if executed outside a browser where it belongs.

I Fould your page instestedin "Robot Eating Candid Frat Boys"
im curious how I use The Robot Code with a Brouser in order to find photos like you have
Thank you
Kyle

Wow, the comments onthis are insane :::link:::

I was wrong. It is by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. But it stylistically looks derived from Dore.
tinypliny - 11/30/08 12:40
They must have discussed it in art class or a museum trip...
james - 11/30/08 12:20
I think that painting is three images from Dore's Inferno colorized.

Open Source IDE eclipse
Category: computers
I love eclipse It is by far the most interesting open source desktop software I have ever used. It might be annoying sometime due to incompatibilitie between plugins but it constantly amazes me how fast it evolves and just how many different things you can develop with it.

Today I developed my first plugin using eclipse PDE (Plug-in Development Environment)

I wish I had something more exciting to say, lol.

Ya, I just noticed that. I am so used to being logged in I didn't see the lack of login on the comment page. I will add that.
heidi - 11/30/08 01:40
of course it works for you... you built the site to be compatible with all your gadgets :-)

Obviously, commenting using our phones' web browsers worked once (e:Felly) caught on to the login thing.

paul - 11/30/08 01:25
It works for me on the iphone.
heidi - 11/30/08 00:51
paul! congrats on the new technology. (e:felly) and I are testing mobile commenting.

Playing house with soup
Category: pics
Here I am playing house with my pet tortoise soup back in 1994. I forgot about his stuffed animal collection. Soon after I got him a baby tortoise as in as a friend.

Here I am winning balderdash but (e:mike) refused to let me have the moment and get a pic of it.

He defined the acronym NALG as the National Alliance of Latino Gangs but his handwriting definately reads National Alliance of Latino Gays. Needless to say no one voted for it.

Here I am being a snowman in 1995 at Michael's Florist on Deleware in Kenmore. At least that is not my job anymore.

You ran up to me on Delaware in that costume once & scared the hell out of me, then you took off your head and I laughed my ass off!

It's funny how you look so much younger in that picture with Soup then I remember being when you got him. Maybe it's the pajamas.
hodown - 11/30/08 10:01
Aw, Soup. Remember how you would steal my Hello Kitty small items to decorate him?
fellyconnelly - 11/29/08 18:44

Hahaha... There is not even an alphabet common.

I bet it's some kind of "Rich" list of downtown celebrities and this is just a prelim to giving you membership of the Buffalo club with that huge polluting generator. Get your kid gloves out, (e:PMT)! :D
