30 Mar 2008 why you shouldn’t link to images on other peoples’ sites without permission (haikufactory, internet)

Not only is it rude (I don’t pay much for my hosting, but I do have to pay), but if the target site belongs to some kind of computer-oriented smartass, they might do something like this.

Yes, yes, I know: she probably doesn’t know any better and I’m a terrible, terrible person. But before you […]

24 Jun 2007 this blog has been rated R (haikufactory)

Apparently, among my offenses: ‘fuck’, ’shit’, ‘godfuck’, ‘bomb’, ‘murder’, ’sex’, ’sexy’, ‘zombies’, and many, many uses of the word ‘fucking’ — though I wish to emphasize, only as an adjective, never a verb.
I wonder if all the swearing is really artistically necessary. Couldn’t I communicate the same things using family-friendly substitutes? I guess […]

14 Jun 2007 we’re back (haikufactory)

Everything should be more-or-less functional now. Which is to say, if anything looks obviously broken, please let me know (by emailing me, or leaving a comment).

13 Jun 2007 creative destruction (haikufactory)

31 Jul 2006 never one to turn down a chance to express an opinion (books, haikufactory, movies, music, review)

Reconstruction proceeds apace.

25 Jul 2006 New Host, Same Old Eric (haikufactory, me)

Hey, I’m back.
So I’ve switched my host from page-zone.com which seemed to delight in randomly disabling scripts and breaking installations (and had no tech support) to dreamhost.com, which I am fully confident is perfect in every way and will never cause my precious self a moment of stress or a word of complaint. Sure, […]
