One of the most poignant things I've ever seen on the internet was an image on Rick/Snorton's "Behold: I, the Fiery Phoenix!" website. It was a picture of him as a first-year at the Forces-oriented private school he used to attend: in it, he was this tiny little lad, almost lost in his own anorak, blinking at the world from behind thick spectacles and carrying the sort of aluminium briefcase you just know is going to end up being thrown onto the Chemistry Block roof by the bigger boys.
It was a desperately sad image and anyone who's read Atomised would find it inevitably brought to mind the pathetic sequence where Bruno recalls his days as 'omega male' at boarding school.
not...

Has TMO been having a bit of a spazz out? Only I couldn't connect for a good while there, and since I can't see any posts from that period I'm guessing I wasn't alone?

That appears to be the case. A bit of a spazz out. Perhaps Darryn can give us a more technical term.
Server attack, for some reason someone attacked our server and services have been crashing all day, FTP goes out then Mysql then Pop and just as you restart one service another goes out.
The whole server had to be taken offline and checked over, I'm told it's all OK now.
The correct technical term for what happened is 'Spazz up'.
Normal service should be resumed.

Is that a representation of your psyche (in which case, nice), or is it a contribution to allthethingsihateaboutrick (do you think him and pink hurt each other?)

I think that this has always been my psyche;
and it probably always will be.

Tonight while in Canary Wharf I took a picture which I believe most accurately puts a face on my psyche. It also happens to be one of the most depressing images I think I have ever seen. But I don't think that my psyche is depressed / depressing. If that's not too confusing.
Look (ignore the tagline, just concentrate on the image):
Now to start with, could they be more cruel to this dog if they were putting shampoo in its eyes and making it wear lipstick?
How sensitive is a dogs sense of smell? Very, right? Well they put this bone, this biscuit which due to a billion additives the dog goes totally crazy for. All he can do is smell this most delicious thing - 'bis-kit' - is the sound that he has heard when he's smelt it before.
So he can smell 'biskit' but he can't see where the fuck it is because of this stupid thing someone has put in front of his eyes. God its so frustrating. All he wants is the 'biskit'. The smell is making him insane. He's going to bite someone in a minute. Grrrrrr. Biskit. Biskit. iwantit. whereisit??

I hope biskit doesn't mean anything naughty, because you've already sexed up the forum once today Trick and you're not allowed to do it again, mmkay?

god i feel awful today: the sun is shining in my face, i am hungover to shit after a night of heavy drinking in the hood, i gotta get out of bed and go to work. this sucks.

lol, nice. I feel okay. Had one or two beers last night, but I've quite enjoying my hangover. A bit headachey, but it's slowed me down and added a retro style lens flare to my sight. I'm all about blue sky mornings. Nothing's ever bad on a blue sky morning.
At first I was like, "Whoa, what a sad face... Wonder what she is worried about?" Then it hit me.
That's a big fucking butt-plug... I think I'd be worried too!

Don't blame Mask. There was a rebel group in Liberia, followers of a militia leader who called himself 'General Butt Naked', whose uniform consisted of an AK-47 and womens wigs.

Erm, just testing something. Nothing to see here. Depending of course on whether what I'm trying to make work actually does, or not.
eta: nevermind, didn't work after all. probably due to the 'no images in signature' ubb restriction. Just the same, what I was trying to do was to insert this down there. And apparently the teemo donkey had different ideas about where I should stick it. Or something.
eta2: The attempt, if it wasn't clear, was to insert a rotating automatically generated slogan as a signature. Which probably will get me banished to Handbag for the mere thought. Ah well.
