Please let me know if you have any comments and I'll also add a discussion
forum to it if anyone's interested. I'd also like to find some people who
could actually help me market the products represented on the page.
Definitely a parody on losers who somehow get promoted into management, as
well as co-workers who specialize in having others do their work while they
take credit for it.
If nothing else, it's worth looking at for a few laughs.
No pop-ups, no links to porn sites, nothing but the truth about some

You should do a parody about technically challenged lusers who somehow
manage to slap together an amazingly crappy Website of no interest
whatsoever, then spam the URL. Or did you already? You sly dog, you.

You're obviously a supporter of the evil manager, and possibly even fall
into the evil/clueless co-worker category. You must have seen the Friendly
Customer Service Rep as well. If not, he has a message just for you.

Also, the name of this NG is Houston.General.
It don't get any more general than that...
So, back to your comment... Where is your website you're referring to that
you built you'd like me to do the parody on?
I mean, you talk a great line of spew. but I don't see anything from you
that looks better. Have you ever even written a web page of ANY kind?
Also, we're all open for constructive criticism. If you ever learn what that
is, let it out.

You know as much about me as you do about html or Web design. IOW, nothing.
I almost admire you for not letting your prodigious ignorance stop you from
proving it at every turn.

BZZZZZT! Wrong. On Usenet, "general" means not better covered by another
group, not whatever spam crap you think is appropriate. And local means, I
know this is complicated, but bear with me, LOCAL. Try reading the charter.
I can almost see your lips moving. "What's a charter?"
Congratulations. You are, indeed, every bit as clueless as your unbelievably
crappy Website suggests. I'd suggest references to help you learn, but I
seriously doubt it would help.

Well, if http://www.brainbyte.com/100days@latin_america/ is an example of
your finest work (which appears to be in it's third of fourth year of
development now I know more about HTML and you than you think. The MIDI
files were fascinating to listen to and your Warez site was nice too. Never
seen so many 404's in my life...
However, get realistic about this "spamming" BS. I am spamming no one. I am
not building a mailing list, I am not selling anything. I just built a quick
and simple site(rather quickly in fact) for a reason you would probably
stand behind if you knew more about it.
The Evil-Product is a product of society and most of all nepotism. My site
is just a way of snubbing my nose at the people responsible for damaging the
lives of people who were excellent in their field and worked very hard to do
a good job. For years all they had to deal with was going to work and doing
their jobs. Life was pretty good.
As usual, when things start to look good they usually screw up. Well, this
was no exception.
You see, about two years ago two major oil companies got together and
decided to merge. That meant they had duplicate facilities doing the same
research, so they closed one and sent the people with the highest seniority
to Houston. Something most of them resented since they came from Boremont
(Beaumont/Port Arthur). Several others lost their jobs, but you can bet the
last words they heard from our new IT managers were "Don't worry, I'll find
a place for you in Houston..."
Since the decision to keep these people was based on their time with the
company rather than anything else many of them were given jobs they had no
experience with. It's like saying "Hey Dusty, you like dogs and can cook...,
how would you like to be in charge of our finance department? Whether or not
you can add doesn't seem to matter. It's weird but that's the way
corporations work, as I'm sure you well know.
So, one day we have new management from the top down. In someone's infinite
wisdom they gave the job of IT management to some people who had minimal
experience in IT back in the big town of Boremont...
When the two oil companies merged, these people replaced the people who were
managing the IT staff for the last few years. As soon as they replaced the
managers they started looking for jobs for their old buddies from Boremont.
Slowly but surely, they started replacing the present staff over the next
two years. However, Five people were hard to get rid of because they were
well liked by the people they worked directly for. Like the third little pig
with the brick house as hard as they huffed and puffed they couldn't replace
these five people. People knew if their lab or network went down we were the
people who could get it going again asap.
Now, at the same time you have to understand we were contractors to the site
we supported. In all, there were 8 of us. Two decided that if they sucked up
to the new management they'd eventually get hired by the company who
contracted us. Those two would be the "Evil-Suckup Doll" and the
"Lamer-Programmer Doll"s.
So, these two decided if they went to the IT department and talked badly
about the other people in their own company, they could give the Evil
Manager enough ammo to get rid of the 5 the Evil Manager hated and make room
for some more friends, while gaining a few brownie points for themselves.
However, once it was common knowledge that the Evil Manager was trying to
find excuses to get rid of the five people who'd worked hard for the
reputation they'd earned, the Mushroom Manager promised us he would protect
us from the Evil Manager.
What the Mushroom Manager didn't realize was the Evil manager was in the
process of "Empire building". The Evil Manager was surrounding it's self
with its (not the Mushroom Managers) friends.
One of our biggest complaints was that the people the Evil Manager hired
didn't a damn thing about our environment and were recklessly causing all
kinds of problems. Any time we told them they did something wrong they acted
as if we were trying to belittle them or insult them rather than trying to
prevent our network from down every few days...
So, rather than learn from us they decided to segregate themselves as a
little group. The Evil Suckup and Lamer Programmer (who are as clueless as
they come) chose to backbite and hang with the Evil Managers friends.
After months of trying to make our jobs intolerable in an effort to get us
to quit, the Evil Manager realizes we ain't quitters...
Then one day, the Mushroom Manager wasn't around so the Evil Manager decided
to make the Lamer Programmer our boss. Bear in mind the Lamer Programmers
first job with the company was as a dispatcher. So many techs had so many
problems with them they decided to make them a "tech". At the time we were
doing a token-ring to ethernet migration so we taught them how to change a
NIC...
From that point on, they considered themselves a "tech"... That's about the
same as teaching someone how to change a tire, and now they consider
themselves a mechanic...
So, the at-that-time Lamer 'tech', decided to take a night course in VB
programming. After 48 hours of classroom and no passion for what they were
learning , they came out of VB101 and decided they were now a "programmer"
and wanted more money and status.
We (the company they actually worked for) told them they didn't have the
knowledge, and we didn't have the need for an entry level VB programmer.
So, the Lamer Programmer resented the company they worked for and did
everything they could to get hired by the company we were contracted to.
Since the Evil Manager couldn't even spell VB, they actually believed this
boob could write an app. Eventually they realized it wasn't going to happen
so the Evil Manager made it our boss.
Finally, after two months of the Lamer Programmer trying to be our boss the
attrition started. Two of the five of us put in our two week notices (I
wasn't one of them) and two weeks to the day later one left and one decided
to stay for two more weeks. The day after the one who left quit, the Evil
Manager decided they would let all the rest of us go except the ones who
sucked up to her or had already quit.
As expected we were replaced with people from the Evil Manager's past.
The next day when the Mushroom Manager and the CEO of the company found out
what happened, and the Evil Manager was suddenly reduced to ashes...
It was moved to a position where it will never tell anyone else what to do
or who to hire again. Had it not been but two years from retirement it would
have had no mercy shown on it at all. It also has the daily pleasure of
making it to work and home in downtown Houston traffic. Now, that's
punishment...
So, you see, I'm not spamming anything. I just want the people responsible
to know they've been immortalized in 1's and 0's, at least for a while.
I tried to keep the banners, animated gifs and images to a minimum, since
there are still people there who can't get a connection better than 33.6 and
don't have DSL like you do.
So, those of you out there in cyberspace who have had the displeasure of
working for or with someone like the "dolls" represent, you'll know where
I'm coming from, and to those out there who are responsible for the
"nepotism and favoritism above skill" mentality, well, they got what they
deserved. If you advocate hiring your buddy, you might make sure they can do
the job first...
The Evil Manager got demoted big-time, the Systems Anal-ist is walking on
thin ice because the Evil Manager isn't there to protect them any longer and
the Lamer Programmer promptly quit right after the Evil Manager was gone.
Some rats can see the boat sinking right away. The rest are waiting till
water comes over the gunwales first.
Now, as for me... I do this for a living as well. I'm an IT guy, and I've
been doing it since 1983. I have a wall full of certifications and letters I
can put behind my name if I choose. Like you, I have a dog, and two feet of
hair. I also write as eloquently as a lot of people who throw an occasional
article to the Austin Statesman. Face to face you'd probably even like me.
So, why don't you write a story about nepotism in the workplace if you want
something positive to write about and quit trying to imply I'm selling you a
get-rich-scheme or building a mailing list.
Later.
BTW, I'm all ears if you have some _constructive_ criticism. I have never
been too proud to learn.

Not my work at all, you clueless bozo spammer, which is why it is not on my
demo site. But I'm glad you demonstrated your idiocy right up front.
"Thanks, half pint. You just saved me a lot of investigative legwork." Like

Anyone who spews as much negativity as you, and you have a long history of
it, really needs help.
In all your posts in the past, with everything from eating bugs to insulting
Jews I have yet to read anything from you that indicates you have a life,
conscience, woman or friends.
You have never produced a real website in your life. You just talk a line of
BS in order to waste bandwidth.
Since your posts are a reflection of your unhappiness in real life, why
don't you put yourself out of your misery?

Sorry, we're not hiring right now. Even if we were, talent and experience
would be required.

Apparently you are gazing into some sort of high albedo, highly polished
surface. In the future, I suggest you limit your comments to things you
actually know a little something about. But I do find it endlessly amusing
that you accuse me of having no life while you search through the archives
of my long posting history. Or at least what YOU can find.
> You have never produced a real website in your life. You just talk a line

As if you would know. Once again, you go to great pains to prove to all the
world what a simpleton you really are. A bandwidth flame? Please. You can
take a break. We're already convinced.
Obviously in your world, a "real website" means a design that would
embarrass a 6th grader and lame, completely unoriginal content. Hey. I've
got an idea. Why don't you do a cartoon on your site? You could have a
pointy headed, idiot boss, a common sense techie and a group of engagingly
eccentric nerds, maybe even a dog or a rat. Man, now THAT would be cool.
FYI, junior, my partners and I currently directly oversee some 8 different
Web entities logging more than 30 million page views/month. We also provide
content to several other entities logging more than 500 million page
views/month.
Know what? We don't spam the URLs here. See, we actually WORK in the REAL
online biz world, so we know better. So tell me again, what experience did
you say you have with "real website(s)"?
> Since your posts are a reflection of your unhappiness in real life, why
> don't you put yourself out of your misery?
Since your posts are a reflection of your stupidity, why don't you blow your
nose and blow your brains out? And since your intelligence is so obviously
limited to only narrow minded, strictly literal interpretations of what you
read, are you cute?
And finally, considering you are a spammer, why do you use a spamblock in
your email address? You like to dish it out, but you can't take it? Typical.
Now run along and stop bothering the adults.
Cheers,
Dusty
