Never Fear…

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

For those who insist that they need my help and would rather wait instead of getting help from someone else ( ;-) ) — I just want to remind you that I’ll be back on Thursday night but will probably be too tired to do any work… so on that note — consider me “officially back” on Friday morning.

I appreciate all of the emails I’ve received lately, too. Makes me sound important how I say that, right?

My mommy always told me I was special… so did a few of my teachers.

:)

P.S. Yes, still having fun. You will never go wrong with 70 Degree weather and plenty of sun!

Still Out Of Town

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

I’ve been hitting the Beach all week (at least the last few days, anyhow) so far and having a good time, for the most part.

I might even be back sooner than expected but please make sure that you don’t send me emails and expect an immediate reply, which I’m already seeing from 1 person. I’m OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION ;-)

Don’t forget to check out: www.BestSocialNetworkingScript.com OR www.BuyAbleSpace.com [ ;-) ] for your Social Networking needs. Too many problems with phpfox now and a few too many drama queens on the forum that believe they’re helping the company by lying through their teeth.

So just to confirm (since I keep getting emails concerning phpfox) I DO NOT RECOMMEND PHPFOX FOR ANYTHING, ANYMORE.

Maybe once they kick the children out of the forums and clean up (and DEFINITELY UPDATE) their Road Maps - things might be different. But as of now — I personally recommend staying clear of that company until they DO, in fact, clean up the mess going on.

I also noticed how pathetic the Forums have gotten the past week or so… I told them it would happen. I guess they like to lose money? Oh well, not my problem now.

Out of Town until the 28th - on vacation

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

I’ll still be around but not as much as I am currently. Probably a few hours a week, tops, to be honest. I’ll still be doing work on my localhost but will have limited access to the ‘net for that period of time.

Save The Internet 2007

It’s been close to a year since I posted about “Saving The Internet”. A lot of people still don’t know about this cause and it can affect the entire world, not just Americans.

Had a tooth pulled. Ouch

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

Actually, getting my tooth pulled didn’t hurt at all. I just hate the sound of my teeth crunching when they use metal stuff on them… I’ve always been like that. I can’t hardly eat with a fork and can’t STAND when people grind their fork on their teeth when they’re eating! Same goes for Porcelain ware and metal. Knives cutting and scratching against the plate makes me want to punch somebody.

Some people have a thing with Scratching nails on a Chalkboard… me? It’s Metal on teeth or porcelain. I literally freak out because it hurts my ears and sends shivers down my spine. No joke and no exaggerating.

Anyways… my dentist is a little Vietnamese chick ( :) ) and she could barely yank the damn thing out. As good looking as she is - she drives me nuts when I have to get my teeth pulled because of this (had a Wisdom tooth pulled last summer) because I’m always looking forward to a quick pull and I’m back home for work. But no… it’s more like this: I took my PSP with me (just got it and it’s great for stuff like this) and I was playing Brothers In Arms for like an hour waiting for her to get back to me. She basically sent me to my chair and left me hanging after she gave me like 10 shots. I didn’t feel any of them until she hit the tooth behind it - which needs to be capped, which is why I went there.

So I got so bored after sitting there so long that I went to my car and grabbed a new game lol finally after I got bored of that game - she was ready to pull the tooth. But it took her about 15 minutes to pull it out! She spent that long pushing and pulling and cutting the damn thing… WOW.

On a lighter note… I didn’t have Dental insurance — I have Health insurance but not Dental as you have to wait 6 months to use it after paying $30+ a month and then you only get $1,000 worth of coverage. That’s like a Root Canal and an exam! Not worth it.

So I went to: www.DentalPlanZone.com and grabbed the Preferred Network Access by Cigna for $129.99 for 15 months (12 years PLUS an extra 3 right now!) coverage but the cool thing is that it’s a Discount plan! No waiting for 6 months to be able to use it and when I got there - the lady at the front desk was thinking that the other lady who called in to get the info made a mistake. I only paid $77 for the visit rather than nearly $200 and then $141 for the extraction rather than $236 and then I paid $81 for a Full Mouth X-Ray rather than $270.

Do the math and you can see that I was really happy. I saved more than I paid only 1 day before. Read that again… I only had to wait 1 day before it kicked in. Not bad huh? No 6 months waiting time and no having to fight to find a good dentist. Mine was already listed :-)

So, if you’re looking to get work done on your teeth and you want to save a few bucks –DEFINITELY look into this! I’m dead serious… you’re getting a better deal than Health Providers Dental Plans. I thought it was going to be a ripoff or one of those “discount plans” but it wasn’t. Cigna is a major carrier and it’s just one of their plans they provide.

I have to go back in for the same work I had done in 2001 that cost me $1,136.00 and this time it’s going to cost me $643.00 !!!

Sweeeeeeeeeettttttttttt.

Better than phpFoX - the best Social Networking Script

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

I found this script a few weeks ago and was blown away by the functionality of it all. It’s got more features than phpfox has even with all of the available plugins from “Modders”! So far it’s so much better than phpfox on every level that it’s actually sad for us phpFoX users!!! I’ve sold all of my Licenses for phpFoX just this week, lucky me!

Check it out:

ABK SOFT’S AbleSpace !

VOIP Phone, Voice Recorder, Video Chat, etc. Everybody who sees this script is absolutely BLOWN AWAY! I hear Support is great, too! They’re currently building new forums as well. Hopefully they’ll be ready in a few days. ;-)

The AJAX functions alone make it worth the money. I mean, seriously, how many times have you heard people bitching about all of the problems with Resources from the phpIM Instant Messenger than phpFoX uses? What does support tell you? “1.x will fix it” and then they move on… waste more time, create more problems and then: they SKIP 1.6 — the version EVERYBODY has been waiting for!! (apparently that was just a rumor started by the forum administrator, I guess they WILL go to 1.6, which is good news for phpFoX owners!)

Some people might question why I posted this AFTER I left phpFoX… but my reply is simple: I POSTED THIS IN THE STAFF FORUM 2 WEEKS BEFORE I STEPPED DOWN AND SOLD MY LICENSES.

I was tired of hearing clients complain about Support turning them away, the problems with the Forums, no appreciation from the Owner of the company, whom I busted my ass for… the guy doesn’t even show up on the forums anymore. I take that as a sign of disrespect, to be honest. A simple check up on the forum that his company has put out for its script is not that hard. It would probably have solved MANY, MANY problems over the past few months.

This Company that created AbleSpace seems to WANT TO be available to the customer. They WANT TO sell more licenses. I remember when phpFoX was like that, too. Hopefully this company continues to do what it’s done so far.

Looking for “Slugs” aka Fake Members

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

Did you once own a phpfox site? Still have the Database? I’m looking for some “Slugs” (as I was just explaining to someone — I call them Slugs…’slugs’ are fake but they work… just like the Slug Coins you might have used for Video Games when you were a kid [with a string, ring a bell?]), commonly known as “fake members” to use for a site I’m working on. The guy I’m doing the work for is looking for them and if you got them - let me know and let me know your price!

We need the User Tables AND the Images that go with them. Let me know how many you’ve got and how much you want!

PastorSinAlot aka Damian Dunlap the Net Thug

Category: My Life | 1 Comment

I’ve been getting Physical Threats from some old guy who claims he’s from Compton and was going to “beat me up”. I thought I would tell him to “stop while he’s ahead” and then he continued… so I made it clear that his affiliation with “Compton” meant nothing but a city and I threw up a couple of neighborhoods I knew in the area.

Then he goes and says he’s going to “tell on me” to his brother, who’s a Sheriff in LA County about my Gang ties.

Uhhhhh… wtf? All the sudden he went from Tough guy to a rat?

I explained that I’ve been on Gang Detail since I was 14… his little tattle telling attempts are only a waste of breath.

Then he tells me he’s going to come slap me in Buena Park. Haha I guess he’s going to catch me at Knott’s Berry Farm? Yeeeeaaaah.

Why do people take forum incidents this far? It’s sad. If you’re mad that I called you out on the truth — face it and take it like a man… not a 38 year old child who’s going to run to his brother who’s a cop.

Grow up. Stop being a chump “PastorSinAlotaka Damian Dunlap.

By The Way. Who’s Crying?

Wow, I could link all day but I don’t have that kind of time… looks like he’s found plenty of time to piss people off, though. And I heard he doesn’t like Scammers? Wow… check out all those links and you’ll find serious contradictions in there. ;-)

See what others have to say about this Amazing Real Estate Broker (lol@that), Super Entrepreneur they call PastorSinAlot!

 

“its truth, not troof. a bit much on the ebonics there my man.”

Wow. I guess I wasn’t the only one hearing the over emphasis on the fake ebonics?

“after listening to what an ignorant fuck you are i kind? of agree”

SAME HERE!

“Did he say Truth or truf? LOLL”

Oh… others heard it too!

“I hate to say it, but you sound like an idiot. You call yourself intelligent, yet you have to second guess everything read from your script. If you are the intelligent one among us then God help us. Leave Al Sharpton alone and go back to school.”

^ OUCH!

 

Hmmmm… Maybe English classes might help. You need to speak english to do Business in America.

Self Proclaimed Professionals

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

The internet is filled with BS and liars. But if you’re going to lie about what you are in real life like you’re a Business man — you might want to learn how to speak properly. I mean, seriously… if you type like you’re “from the hood” - then you’re being fake as hell on TWO levels.

1) You’re more than likely not from the hood

2) You’re more than likely not anything even close to being a Business person.

Reality check: No real business person on earth wants to do Business with fake people. Get over it, nobody finds it cool to be from America and type like you’re from China.

The fact is - I know plenty of people in Prison who write more professionally than many of these clowns I see online lying about what they are in “real life”. Acting like they’re somebody - knowing damn well they’re not even remotely close to being what they’re claiming to be.

Life is too short… if you’re trying to become a Business person - TRY HARDER. Don’t half ass it where you’re a Business person 1 minute and an Internet Thug the next. I talk to people from all walks of life all day long and it’s hard to take people seriously when they act so fake.

It’s like a guy a few months back who made a video about “breaking my jaw”… the guy claimed to be in Real Estate, owned a 99 cent store, etc, etc. Without even realizing who I am - he made Physical Threats. How stupid is that? Luckily I don’t take Internet threats literal… or else he’d get more than he wished for. But I learned from the past… guys like this get older and bitter and they talk tough because they get no respect at home… so I say “forget about it”. I couldn’t stop laughing about the video… I even told him that he was talking to deaf ears. If it were out in real life — I’d take it more serious and then there would be a major problem. But as the first line states: The internet is FULL of BS AND LIARS. So I let it go. NO BIG DEAL. What happens online should stay online.

What’s going on this week…

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

I won’t be around the phpfox forums for any other reason than the fact that I still own 2 scripts (sold 2 in the last 24 hours). So don’t be surprised if I don’t respond to threads or Private Messages for a while. Too many children on the forum and I’ve got too many things on my plate right now, including better software that I’ll be letting everybody know about shortly. The 3 people who have taken a look at it were all phpfox users who were BLOWN AWAY by the software and it’s capabilities.

I’ll be letting you know about that shortly, after I wrap some stuff up.

The Sopranos finale was… not sure what to think about it. They’re known for their Metaphorical scenes and the last scene had me trippin’ out. Was it a black out? wtf happened? I guess the song and the scene paint the picture, metaphorically? Crazy. I was hoping for a little more. Why they didn’t have a 2-hour finale is beyond me.

I’m preparing for a 10-day vacation coming up. I’ll be in Vegas and Cali both but will have limited access to a WiFi connection, I’m sure, for the most part. I’ll still be working — just mostly offline… coding and stuff.

At the end of the month I need to have my favorite project of all time done and MIGHT give out the link. I’m not sure if I’ll place it on my site as there’s too many punk kids online these days looking to screw with people like net-thugs.

Internet Politics

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

I find it amusing how people have “friends” online that they stick up for, even when they consider themselves “professional”. Rather than letting their “friends” deal with the consequences of their childish and unprofessional antics - they tend to jump in and “back up their friends” at all costs, without even thinking.

It’s actually quite pathetic. Especially when everybody sees how unprofessional you really are offline. I wonder how many of these people hang out offline? I wonder if they’d deal with the consequences offline?

I’m going to bet no…

So why would they do it online, all while promoting their products or services? It’s politics. “You got my back - I got yours” for arguments sake.

How childish is this? I mean I can see it from the 17 year olds I see on some forums… but grown men?

Get real. If you consider yourself “professional” - then be professional and keep out of arguments you know nothing about. Especially when it’s your “MSN Buddy”…it makes you look…sad, to say the least.

I also find it funny how easily people contradict themselves online. From doing the same thing, in the past, as others do in the future and then talking bad about them is ridiculous.

I also find it funny how quickly people ATTACK others, all the while not even knowing what’s really going on. It happens on the DigitalPoint forums all the time.

I can see it on sites like that because they’re not professional. Sitepoint has it’s fair share but the mods there are very professional and quick to defuse a situation. phpfox forums are ran by kids, except 1 who is busy with other stuff, and it’s LITERALLY bringing the business down with it. I warned them about it months ago and lately it’s definitely been happening, which is why I left. It’s sad to see so many know-it-alls and “perfect” people destroy entire communities.

No longer phpFoX Moderator

Category: My Life | 1 Comment

Just letting everyone know that I stepped down from my Moderator position on the phpfox forums. I am now only a script owner and will not be producing custom modifications for the script, either.

There’s plenty of reasons and I foresee big problems in the future for the company the way they’re going over the past few months.

Hope they get those problems fixed. Doubt it will happen, though. They re-hired a couple of game playing kids who they originally “let go”… 1 comes around to promote his friends products and uses his moderator powers to delete nay-sayers comments (especially if they’re a little bit of a major reality check!) and the other is (supposedly) 19 years old and plays games on Private Messages. He now comes around because (supposedly) he’s owed money by someone on the forums… so he makes sure he’s there to “expose” the guy all the sudden… shows how well they take care of their forums, which are a vital part of their organization.

See the direction the company is headed? The “higher ups” have been warned by too many people and they continue to let these characters come back on the forums… over and over again.

It’s sad. Ray Benc spent too much time to let his company go to waste, didn’t he?

I feel like a year and  half has been wasted. But it hasn’t. I learned quite a bit in the process. Hopefully others did too.

Oh well.

It was fun while it lasted.

I will also have some big news after the weekend. I’m just working on getting everything ready before giving the info out. ;-)

Niccolo Machiavelli

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

I love reading quotes written by Inspirational beings/Philosophers.

One of the most inspirational, in my opinion, is Niccolo Machiavelli. His philosophy may have been a little violent to some but war and words are very different.

Check out these quotes:

Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.
Niccolo Machiavelli

I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.
Niccolo Machiavelli

No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Tardiness often robs us opportunity, and the dispatch of our forces.
Niccolo Machiavelli

The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
Niccolo Machiavelli

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Niccolo Machiavelli

The question is, then, do we try to make things easy on ourselves or do we try to make things easy on our customers, whoever they may be?
Niccolo Machiavelli

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Why I never watch the News

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

Hate is a strong word. I rarely use it. But I absolutely hate the news. I find it sickening how they reach for (and usually manipulate) viewers emotional ties relating to objects for their own gain.

I hate hearing about how Bush is a great president on some channels and a terrible president on others. I hate hearing about Paris Hilton. I truly do.

But somehow I got sucked into watching the news today because I was so tired from work last night that I didn’t even want to get up to get the remote while I was eating my lunch.

Then they started talking about…none other than Paris Hilton and how she was crying about being in Jail and probably even talking about her food intake, etc…who knows - not me. I literally shut down when they start talking about her or Bush.

But then as they continued talking about Celebrities for about 10 minutes they spoke about 1 man who saved a shooting victims life… Cuba Gooding Jr.

Yes, Cuba Gooding Jr. saved a mans life in Hollywood when he came to the mans rescue - got towels from a local restaurant to stop the bleeding, flagged down a passing car and took the guy to the hospital.

Wow! The guy is a hero!

But … WTF?!?!?!?! WE HAD TO SIT THROUGH PARIS HILTON JAIL TIME WAR STORIES BEFORE HEARING ABOUT THIS!?!?!?

W.T.F. is right.

1 Celebrity saves a life … another is a Waste of life — yet we hear about the wasted life first!

Interesting.

THIS is why I hate the news.

Still not sure about his name yet but we’re thinking RALPHIE. ? or maybe Rocky? He answers to both… then again he answers to Dummy, too. He’s 1/2 Maltese and 1/2 Yorkshire Terrier (Yorky). They call them “Morkys” and some refer to them as “Malky’s”.

They got Silvio AND Bobby!

Category: My Life | Leave a Comment

Silvio Dante and Bobby Bacala, both Sopranos characters are dead!

On the show, of course. Hence “the characters”. I knew this episode would be crazy but DAMN… it’s kinda sad! haha.

Actually, they straight up WACKED Bobby! He got shot like 10 times… Silvio got shot like 3 times but Paulie told Tony that he was told that he probably wouldn’t make it.

Next week is going to be insane… more than a Nail biter as it will be the Series Finale :(

I have a feeling that Paulie is going to setup Tony in the Finale.

:(
