— Open Blogger They told me that if I donated until I bled to the Romney campaign, I'd ultimately end up just pasting a frozen smile on my face and shilling for a shiftless and abusive guy with a particular thirst for the blood of the homeless.
Well, here we are. Good news is, unlike other contributors who I won't name, I don't post pics of turkeys with testicles on their necks.
I meant Andy. I mean, wtf is wrong with that turkey? Did it get in a fight with a midget turkey? Did it try to stick a hard landing on a slick branch? Is it a feminist turkey sporting one of its trophies?
meh -- at least you won't catch me wasting your time with tasteless content like that.
Here we are at Ace-a-thon 2013, and like all good fundraisers, you get to see D-list celebs (or in this case, COBs) shilling for an organization that is big on promises (Smart Military Blog, Lesbian pr0n, & the Guys Get Shirts), and short on delivery (double posts, movie reviews that take longer to read than to watch the actual movie, and, kitteh pics).
But he tries. Lord knows Ace tries.
Getting up at the break of noon (or 1, or 2) requires a fortitude and dedication to the moron hordes that most cannot fathom, let alone even begin to contemplate before the 2nd cup of coffee @ 9 a.m.
It is this attention to detail and the needs of its clientele that made AceCorp number one with a hobo-gig at the CPAC awards.
Unlike other fundraisers, we promise no ringing phones, no useless "gifts" for donations, and most importantly, no Jerry Lewis stumbling through tired old jokes.
And you just can't put a price on that.
So please, if you value the blog and can afford to part w/ a buck or two, before you hit the jump hit the tip jar up there in the top left corner. Like a viking, if you must.
Don't pretend you didn't see this coming.

Maybe someone could help Ace out on some of the technical things.
This morning I went to the Ace of Spades Amazon store to buy some dishwashing detergent. Cascades with phosphates (which they say is for commercial and industrial use only) works like a mother fucker and is reasonably cheap at about $55 a case.
Do you think I could find it going through Ace's link? No way.
Apparently, he has the majority of the categories turned off in the search function, so it won't come up. I'm sure he didn't do this on purpose and he probably doesn't even know there are other categories, so someone familiar with this shit needs to fix this for him.
I found the product code elsewhere and plugged it in to his Amazon portal, got the product to come up and purchased it, so Ace should get his piece of the transaction, but the point is he could get a steady stream of a lot more if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to use it.

I have been bitching to Ace about smoothing up his Amazon shit for months now.
It's the most non-intuitive link that I have ever seen.
I spend hundreds a month thru Amazon, and would like to give the furry guy some Amazon love.
It's about like bitching about the dead links on the home page.

If there ever was a blogger in need of a manager, it's Ace. He has a half dozen revenue streams lying dead in the gutter, there isn't any attempt at promotion that I can see and we all know how shitty the actual mechanics of the site is.
Now he's providing content to extra website, so he's got less time to make things right (and profitable).
Maybe he's an independently wealthy trust fund baby and all this talk of money bores him. It's hard to know.

If I just click the Amazon part below the search box it takes me to Amazon's home page with Ace's take in the URL.
Seems simple enough.
OR: This: http://goo.gl/8eS50 link in should also work. (That is Ace's link to amazon, I don't care enough to steal any clicks.)

All you have to do is double click on the place where it says "amazon." You will be taken to your Amazon (Welcom, Miss Marple) page and Ace will be referenced in the url. I just checked this because I ordered something a few weeks ago and did this so Ace would get the credit.
Again, just double click where it says "Amazon" under the search, and you will go to the full Amazon page. Easy-peasy!

That's ace's custom store which is more like a "product recommendations" page.
He needs to change that link title to make it more obvious what that is.
The actual "AoS money making too" is the link above that.

The student paper winner at my conference this week was some shit on "green bioethics."
Unreflective dribble that insisted things like hybrid cars and organic farming are more "green" (because some advertisement told her so I guess. Science? What is it?)
I thought about standing up and saying "Bitch it's 32 outside normal temp is 55 right now. STFU and get off the stage." but I was playing nice this week (as nice as I can be.)
(Crazy bitch bought a website which I won't link here, several people were mocking it in the back.)

Andy, that's because Ace's Amazon "store" is more of a recommendation place. The search box is it's own link. Change the whole "Amazon Store" link to "Moron Recommendations" or something to stop confusing people so they use the main amazon link/box above it.

We were working on a site and trying to get Ace to move. His main concern was that he was worried about getting taken down by people objecting to the content. It's a reasonable concern, but it's one that we've mitigated in the move plan by mirroring the site at a second hosting firm in real time.
Because our content is sooooooooo much worse than anything on the web? I mean GoDaddy would just be mortified to find what we post here.
(What's that? GoDaddy is the one that uses Danica Patrick as a stripper? Oh sorry, I confused them for someone who'd care.)

252 Andy, you pissed? Trying to throw this all out there to force ace into some action? Both?
All it would take is a bit of social pushing. You know how easily Ace folds under the least bit of elitist peer pressure.
Ace lives for a adulation, so if all the regulars started referring to him as "You rich, ungrateful piece of shit", he'll probably prioritize the move and changes higher.

This excerpt was from a public document but it's still pretty revealing:
"“Actively manage the political economy of reform. Managing the political economy of reform also entails measures that target those segments of the population that would otherwise oppose reforms. For example, in 2010 the Islamic Republic of Iran increased domestic energy prices by up to 20 times, reducing fossil fuel subsidies by some $50 billion–$60 billion. It offset them with $30 billion in cash transfers that benefited 80 percent of its population, thereby addressing the fact that opposition to the reform of such subsidies usually comes from the middle class. The combination of cash transfers with a well-orchestrated public relations campaign was critical to the success of the reform (Guillaume and others 2011)."

Miles and miles of blubberbutts and cadaverous gender-questionable humanoids all clad in spandex as they kept motorized traffic below 25mph.
Wife said: "Be careful. If you hit one of them, you're a murderer."
I replied: "True. But if I hit ALL of them, I 'm a fucking national hero."
Since my birthday is not a banking/post office holiday, you can surmise I wimped out.

OK, we agree that the place could be a goldmine and the only thing holding us back is Ace.
Time to take him out. Nobody knows him anyway, so it's really close to the perfect crime. We've got enough old stuff of his to fake it for awhile and it's not that hard to duplicate his writing style.
By the time they find his decaying corpse in that old steamer trunk, we'll have milked this joint for everything it's worth.
Posted by: jwest at March 23, 2013 10:03 AM (u2a4R)
Perhaps Ace is morbidly shy, or is independently wealthy, or is in the witness protection program or something.
Perhaps he is really someone famous who cannot reveal his identity, like Batman.
Or maybe he is luring us to our doom. Who knows?

If you're not running Windows Server, like Andy suggested, you're probably going to have to sync them one at a time.
I've been playing around with Syncredible for a week. It copies and syncs from 1 drive to a 2nd drive. You have to read each of the settings and make sure you know what they do before executing a job.

Keeping the flavor of this place, while monetizing and modernizing is not a huge challenge, is perfectly appropriate, and is long overdue.

From the ONT:
'I am okay. But quarter to midnight I do not expect anyone to ring doorbell.
When I say I live in the country, I live in the country. Street light goes out at night, inky darkness as the stars shine brightly down. And there is silence save in winter the hoot of owls and spring the howl of dogs with the mooing of cows.
So I quickly and quietly put sneakers on. Pick up the 9mm carbine, chamber a round, and turn on the Aim-point sight. Only then did I unlock the other door and stand on the steps. To see a black youth suddenly stop and start walking towards me. Says he ran out of gas just up the street and did I have any to spare?
Turn on porch light. He gets to see I am holding the carbine against body with barrel down. He gets more polite then. Tell him I don't have any gas to spare. He then walks away while I duck back into house and bolt the door.
So next I text my friend with description of encounter. Friend works for Sheriff's department. He thinks I wont have any more problems and the guy probably had to change his underwear seeing the CX-4 Storm in my hands.
And that is why I am drinking a rum and coke. Hoi hoi embleer Frith!'

What I do know he has always craved the spotlight and power. When Reagan was trying to do something about Lebanon. A Navy aircrew were shot down. Jesse went there to try and get them freed.
Jesse Jackson - vanity all is vanity. The sins of the father will be visited upon seven generations, that Biblical phrase always pops to mind when I think of the Kennedys and now Jackson and his progeny.

Ran in 1988, also. IIRC. Made a pest of himself, insisting that since he was 2nd in the race, he should get the VP slot. Yes, Jackson insisted on himself.

Isn't that what he (and Sharpton) have been doing since MLK's death?

It's Tuesday morning, Hoss. You need to set your alarm clock next time.

It was lost in a tragic boating accident.

Well when it was all going on, it was just training/instinct.

Ok I'm finally hitting the jar - I've lurked here for years and rarely comment, but the entertainment is certainly worth it ...
Why? Because the comments here require it .. I am mystified by those that refuse to tip unless the comment platform is upgraded, but complain endlessly through that same comment platform. Guess you are all free to go somewhere else if it is so bad, but, it doesn't seem to stop you at all ...
I have seen Ace's posts when he gets his fur ruffled over the apparent sense of ownership and entitlement that COBs and commenters get over his blog - left me wondering previously, but now I see it here on full display. Y'all are free to do whatever you want, right? But not with his property ... methinks you're actually looking for a slice.
BTW, robocopy is free and it works for synching drives, but the CLI syntax is simply brutal ...
