Attention, aspiring ARKian authors

[Alex Suter]

Also, anybody who feels up to it can do the E Teflon Piano stub from
the red link on the Wikipedia Kibology page. I did one, but apparently
I doofused it, and it got canned. (But not before being cloned on other
"dictionary" sites. Googled "E Teflon Piano".) Also, the rules seem to
sort of say that persons shouldn't do their own. Logrolling, anyone?

I tell ya, you vanish for five years without word
or a goodbye and suddenly everyone forgets about
you.

Also, as mentioned, I got married, which is happiness
and busy-making. Also, I've been playing lots of video
games and reading gadget weblogs and getting Bruce
Sterling to sign books and talk about Second Life.

For a programmer, Second Life is kind of like the crack

Oddly enough, her maiden name is Sutter.

Be careful who you fall in love with ladies, or you too
could end up with the name Sutter-Suter. Well, YOU
couldn't anymore, but she did.

If your first name is Olive, don't date Mr. Green. If
you dream of naming your son Dick, and your true love
is Mr. Hertz, keep on looking. However, if your first
name is Butt, Comedy demand that you marry my friend
Howard Tugly.

So how have you all been?

I done got me a stick, and I burnt onto it "Ol' Groiney", cause that's
its name. It's a pokin' stick, you see.

Weeeeeelllll, things have been a mite touchy (what with the goin's on
and the shenanigans and whatnots), but for the most part, right good.
Cleetus got hisself that new doohickey, the one he's been braggin' on
for some time now, and got all uppity. As a consequence, Darleena done
give me a call, so I come over with "Ol' Groiney" and and proceeded to
give him a good pokin'.

POKE! POKE! POKE!

Needless to say, Cleetus has learnt hisself some manners after chawin'
on THAT slice of humble pie.

Yourself?

A stick perfect for smacking the snow off a tree?
Or snow off a groin?

I walked with my feet pointing out like this.

I have moved three times, each heavier than the
last. I have started listening to nerdcore almost
exclusively. I play online video games frequenly
and poorly.

For more information, please check my blog, where
I write daily about what I ate for breakfast and
how it made me feel. I'd give out the address, but
it's in a state of zen-like perfection in that it
has never been viewed by anyone but me. Ever. And
I'd hate to ruin that.

Hidden in plain sight, my secret feelings about
oatmeal remain unmolested.

While it /could/ be used for groinal snow removal, I much

Sometimes I use my dachshund, though. She loves nothing more

There was one super cute one, but I believe she
moved on as well. Not sure. We went to a basketball
game once and then, later, ate ice cream.

Sniff. I missed you guys.

I have since been married! It's fun. I would have
invited you all, but I had to stay in my cave away
from the burning yellow face and protect my precious.

Yeah, I posted a bit back then. Several bits actually.
Maybe even a byte or two.

Is the bit were Archimedes Plutonium says that no one
that has ever posted to ARK will get a security clearance
in there somewhere? I want to point at it and laugh.

Lupus "No longer at the cool table" Suter

There's no cool table. There's a lot of "hey let's have a private
conversation on Usenet because we think we're hot shit" crap, but I've
been complaining about that for years. In fact, there's a lot of
whining and complaining about nothing of substance and, apparently,
visits to the doctor because we're all old and shit. Like a virtual
nursing home around here, really.
I don't really know what's up with ARK, but I apparently have
killfiled so many people and threads that I had 164 articles killfiled
today alone, and it has done wonders for my blood pressure.
But maybe I'm just crabby today.

Hm. Matthew noticed last month how quiet it's been and now
you and I've noticed it as well. I did some poking around
and found some numbers which don't cut and paste very well
so for the entire chart you can go to:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.religion.kibology/about?hl=en
That will give you from 1991-2005 all the way through December of each
year.
A portion of that chart for 10 years from Jan-July shows:

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul

1996 1812 2354 1480 2137 2334 2964 2856
1997 3188 2576 4107 2323 2588 2063 1970
1998 2319 2340 2888 2703 3829 2473 2088
1999 3869 2998 4740 4331 4566 3836 5126
2000 3791 3263 3390 3107 4607 4724 5623
2001 6340 4144 4799 3894 4660 4216 3773
2002 6771 6805 5528 5695 4831 4688 4057
2003 3942 2986 3277 3318 3502 3384 4042
2004 4374 3362 4752 3813 4195 3819 3253
2005 3633 3534 3772 2799 3872 4171 2852

The average is somewhere around *3633 posts for
July for 10 years, with that number being less
for this July than 2004 but more than July of
2003.
August numbers are 1445 but it's only the 12th.
* I'm tired so that could be way off but I don't
think so. Check it out for yourself anyway.
I then plugged July for 10 years into a barchart
and it looks like some sort of trend so I enlarged
the scale. I did that mainly because it pleased me to do so
but I also think it just looked better that way.
More symmetrical.
On that same site which has absolutely
nothing to do with the above but I like it anyway is
what it says "About this group" as a description
of alt.religion.kibology

Activity: High
Description: He's Fred, Jim.
Categories: Society > Religion and Spirituality

Now who can argue with that?!!

So while the trends are interesting I've absolutely
no idea what it means other than the fact that
the columns of numbers are maki.. MY EYES!
