Just like Mom used to make.
I came across this link via Twitter. Apparently, a man tried to pay his utility bill with a drawing of a spider. What’s the weirdest payment arrangement you ever tried to make?
Ok, so for once, the inspiration from my title is a little more cryptic than a line from an 80’s song. And no, I am not getting ready to flog you over the head with some nostalgic piece about Mork and Mindy. Although, that would be oddly entertaining to me. Don’t ask me why - I really don’t know.
Saturday begins the annual official National Novel Writers Month competition, or NaNoWriMo for short. Participants are tasked with writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. That breaks down to about 1,667 words per day. No one in their right mind would participate in this competition - especially if they have anything else they need to do with their life. Good thing I am not in my right mind, or I might really be stressing about having signed up!
So I finally got one of my old, old, OLD websites back online. It has been fun and oddly disturbing looking at the stuff I was doing a decade ago. I was a weird dude! Some would say I still am. But that’s their problem.
The first installation of “That Dude Had Issues” is a personal site I did in 1998. For those of you not in the know (which would be most normal people), 1998 was the 30th anniversary of Monty Python. This particular site was inspired by, and contains a lot of content about, those fine British chaps.
Poke around and enjoy. Try not to read too much into some of the comments or content - I was in a different place back then. Thank God.
I will be putting up a page shortly with links to several of my really old sites that I have, for lack of better judgment, resurrected from my old blue-and-white G3. Until then, I will update this post with anything mildly interesting.
Have fun!
I don’t know why I did this - must have had a little bit of time on my hands. But I just did a Google search for “chris beck.” Only without the quotes or anything (so don’t bust on me all of you search gurus out there). And guess what? I actually appear on the front page of the results. The only problem is, it is through my page on Working With Rails. Still, I was happy to see that a direct reference to me appeared in the first 10 listings. Because let’s face it; if you ain’t on the first page of Google results, you ain’t shooby dooby. At least that’s what my SEO friends say…
See! There I am, near the bottom, but still page 1
The non-technical, somewhat silly and perhaps slightly off-beat blog of Chris Beck. Those of you who know me will know this is not a stretch.
