I'm in the middle of fixing my computer after updating a few drivers off of Dell's website. Fuck you, Dell. Fuck you in your silicon ass!

I tried setting a Dell laptop at work to dual-boot XP & W7. I got everything working but the sound. Nothing would get the sound working! So yes, fuck you Dell. Fuck. You.

Oddly enough, it's the sound that fucked up here. The driver wouldn't install properly, corrupting the old driver, eliminating the sound, and the only place to get the driver is from Dell. So, it took me about a day of redownloading and reinstalling the driver until it finally took.

Least you spent a day. My boss told me to figure it out so I worked on it for 2 weeks. I downloaded all sorts of different drivers, I edited the registry, wiped out all sound card files and started fresh to force a windows update to download the correct driver. Nothing worked. It was bull shit.

Have you tried sticking your penis in the case?

It's the first thing I always do.

I posted the DC reboot thing just now, right in time for JLA #1. Except I didn't put any pictures there, because I'm lazy.

I hope you're all prepared to deal with the fame this post will bring us.

I bought a bottle of viagra as preparation for the groupie sex.

just posted the article live, mxy. and just ordered more viagra, son of mxy.

while i assumed the viagra would be awesome, the article is, as well. i threw an image in there just for the sake of imagerying. i'll go through it more in depth later (i'll have the viagra, after all) but wanted to post it up as is for now. even the batman bit. you racist shit toxin.

I was gonna mention Nintendo and Hulk Hogan, but I didn't wanna alienate our audience with old people references.

I've started on what should be the first of a series of interviews with local wrestlers. think of it as "Beyond the Mat" meets "Random Interviews."

Okay Bobo, I added a new column/post. I didn't understand exactly how to attach all the pics I wanted, where. So, what I did was upload the media to MightGeek, attached it to that post/column, and then placed an IMG link in the article where I want said pics. I was going to use my Photobucket to host them. Still can, if you want.

Also, if you notice I dumped am HTML embedded video code at the end. Can video not be embedded on this site? If not, I guess a link will do...

HEY BOBO IS MY PETNAME FOR KAMPY !

Mother! See? You taught me well. Your lessons WEREN'T wasted! But, I still cannot beat LLance at sumo wrestling...

Oh and Bobert, I got bored after I made that last post. So, I smoked some more weed and taught myself how to insert pictures into the posts (and my penis into vaginas). It should be submitted now. Let me know about the video......if I don't figure it out before then...

ahhhhhh Bach

i feel like olive oyl!

video is actually pretty easy. all you really have to do is post the URL to the video page, like http://www.youtube.com/yaddayadda. no wacky embedding or coding needed, the MG backend will do the rest - just as yours so beautiful does



yar, it's a little jarring at first, just cuz it looks so unnecessarily confusing, but its actually quite easy (and awesome) to upload into the system.

here's some changes i made to your post, and their associated reasonings, to make it betterer:

1) i beefed up the title. google uses 70 character strings for search, so i always try to cram as many keywords as possible into that amount (i don't really know anything about doctor who, so i improvised)

2) i de-photobucketted the images and put them on MG server, but you had the MG ones correct!

3) i removed the wacky embed code for the video, and just posted the youtube URL

4) if you ever write an article that's more that features a second paragraph, hit the MORE button after the first paragraph. that adds a little bit of code that separates the post into two parts. so, when the post is on the homepage, it will only show the first paragraph (what comes before the "more" button). on the post's own page, it will show the full article. its magic!!

5) i threw a few keywords into the post tags section. another good thing for SEO stuffs

Cool.



Yeah, someone should really write an article about that, huh?



Cool.



Cool, but you forgot to clean-up the YouTube poster's URL link I added. It still shows the code for the url, but isn't hyperlinked. Right above the video at the bottom.



Cool.



Cool.

I was a little taken back the way you re-edited the format of how I had it laid out, though. For example, I had set it up for a pause between the picture of Ian and Barbara. And when it was right below the paragraph, it worked with the flow. You moved the picture to the side. At first I didn't like it. But, I guess it's worth sacrificing that little bit of flow for overall aesthetic.

MY actual problem: Why are Ian and Barabara's and Gallifrey's picture captions Left-Indented, and why did you change them? Ian and Barbara's only have their name now, as does Gallifrey. Intentional editing or unintentional goof?

BTW, you interested in a new background? I'm thinking if you want to be relevant, you might want to have the nuSuperman and nuBatman instead of Jim Lee's supermodel and the DKR fatboy. Just a thought.

Rob hates Dr. Who.

fixated!



the caption issues (and those two particular smaller-than-600 images) actually got fudged a little when i reworked the caption process - about 10 minutes after i posted your article. before, the caption boxes were too wide and were breaking the site column. i had to quick adjust them, and altered the style while i was in there (from centered gray on gray to left aligned white on black).

but then it got further screwy, because those two images weren't 600 pixels, so they were floating black boxes of doom in the article. so, i left / right aligned them along with the text to try to clean that up.

seemed the lesser of two evils, but im happy to switch back if you prefer!

as a general rule, i likely wont ever make any editorial changes in posts (evar!) unless something breaks in the code, or there's a better way of doing things for, like, google SEO reasons. e.g.; the title



eventually, each category will have it's own series of backgrounds that will randomate (!) upon arrival. the batman/superman one is a neato pic, but really just a placeholder for now.

not withstanding!

From hell's heart! That's cool. Sorry about the too-small-pics. I shrunk two of them to 600x that were over-sized. Didn't think about having to up-size the others. It's all good.

it shouldn't be a problem if they're smaller, to be honest. my personal preference, if they're not 600px wide, is to have the smaller images align left or right, but I guess it doesn't matter all that much, and you can go fuck yourself.

If you weren't so gay for Batman and Hulk Hogan, I would say that's cool. I'll try to remember to left/right align the smaller ones. AND your mother...

DOCTOR WHO IS GAY FOR EARTH

that is the worst kind of gay!

Now YOU die!!

Ok rob, my anti superman tirade is all set.

I'm about halfway through the Q & A portion of this. when I'm done with that, I'll start editing it up for clarity/flow. then I will head to MG for posteration and such.

mightygeeked! http://www.mightygeek.com/2011/comics/slightly-less-super-superman-reboot-aka-hate-superman-most/

some small tweaks:

1) added some tags
2) beefed up the title to 70 characters

that's more or less it!

...this site... it LIVES!!

Where do you add avatars for your Comment identity? I can't seem to find it.

BTW Doog, excellent article. Really enjoyed it, man!

Thanks pro

I mightygeeked something. I hope I pass the test!

Doog, I got as far as "Lucy Pinder" and then got distracted. I'll read the rest later.

I can only imagine the horrors that await your sock drawer.
