the fading past | the fuzzy future

To avoid NFN I am slowly consolidating and deleting older logs.

Users /msg'd

Several about spelling; requested noder permission to kill some stuff.

Lordspace cleanup

The following noder "Lord"s have no nodes, and could be expelled from the E2 peerage by a kindly (god):

Lord British, Lord Butter, LoRD GaNeSH, Lord Klamath, Lord MyCroft, Lord Of Those That Smak, Lordahdaring, LordByar, lordcian, lordgod, lordjames, lordjulius, lordred, Lord_Dacodo

Other than sutch, Omar and the newbie Bear, there sure are a lot of underperforming Lords. 1 to 3 nodes is common. Disappointing.

  The true meaning of life.

  Kudos to you if you can write a writeup that can prove why it is not without mentioning other possible meanings of life.

  Note: this node is just as useless as the rest of Everything and therefore cool.

Capsi and 24623.10959 leave behind nodeshells which can be removed.

• Removed noder isolation's solitary, worthless node.

Removed noder ivey's 2 "advertising" nodes, and dmiller's complaint regarding one of them. Nodeshells remain for REALM Information Technologies and happy jack as well as a nodeshell for ivey. ivey's interesting but linkless small children I spared, partly to avoid being asked:

Kill 'small children (thing)'?
OK Cancel

Nodeless Noders:

My encounter with isolation led to my continuation of my latest E2 hobby: auditing the Everything User Directory:

Rendered nodeless by my semi-mighty hand: isolation, ivantk, isty, iceburg and with great satisfaction intshredr.

Found wandering nodeless: indy, IamFear, Isando, infinitemadness, ivo, Innova, Ike, ivan, itp, Interlocutor, Isamu, inkyslay, impresario, ithompson, Ibbey, iago, irishmex, ihdloaxs, irbie, ineffible, ilken, i960153, ionwill, ilttyd, insanepc, inphlux, ic-viola, Irene, ... bedtime.

Thanks, sensei, for exorcising the tortured ghosts above.

E1 issues

Removed these old nodes that talk about E1 issues: The Everything Non-Problem, The Everything Non-Problem Problem and The Everything Non-Problem Problem 2. Nodeshells remain for all. (If you really want to read 'em, go back to E1.)

Users /msg'd

/msg'd Zorin about E2-ttt-1 ... indicated that "this sucks." is not helpful.

  The secret identity of Goatish. A mild mannered computer geek. Dosen't really do anything but has a different name. He kinda smells like MANGOS though.

Nodeshells that can go: Miller Hooks

Users /msg'd

I just did a bit of order keeping before bedtime. I applauded yossarian on excellent work yesterday, I know just how nasty that kind of work can be.

Other thoughts

I am pleased that sensei is using my name to keep order. THAT IS AS IT SHOULD BE.

Hey kids! If you want to tell us about your rectum, please ... don't.
This is Everything, yes, but it'll need to be some rectum node before it's a Node for the Ages.

• Several badly negative writeups from my rectum. Yes, I cleaned up my rectum. Go ahead, laugh it up.
• Time to achieve Level 6! (idea) by Ground Control. Don't do this. GC should know better.
• News Items for September 21, 1999 (idea) by afree. Linkless duplicate of info above it.
  I actually dislike the entire News Items for ... series. So much potential, so little content.
• snow crash (thing) by afree Mercy kill.
• Joacim, Melin and nerd.nu by z80nerd.nu. E2 is not your personal free ad space.
• appropriate (idea) by Zac 11/13, user's only node, superseded by Webby et al.
• Six of the 7 nodes by one-time noder Kandi. There was someone with severe issues. I left the harmless (but linkless) Pug.
• Sir John A. McDonald (person) by CyberShoe 11/13. Spelled incorrectly, trite, subjective:
  Name of a school in Hamilton. They have a kick-ass theatre.

Nodeshells: Joacim, Melin and nerd.nu; titty fucking, Luke Nykamp; Sir Jakersly: keeper of the holy trousers and the drunk guy who (happened across this one)

The Yound and the Nodeless

If I could delete these accounts, I would. But I can only hold them up for attention by the gods:

• Noders w/o nodes: zero, Z--Wolf, z4Ph0d, zabazoob.
• Noders newly w/o nodes by my hand: z80nerd.nu, Zac.

Users /msg'd

Hung out in the Noders Nursery. It was pretty quiet, as usual. I sent several encouraging /msg's to good new users. Also:

/msg Ground_Control A lot of your low rep stuff is one-liners w/o links. Could you please fix 'em up?
/msg mmorgan27 You need to hard link in rtti.
/msg Gaff in Java Virtual Machine: You mean "pseudocode"
/msg mattbw Please move your stuff in Sir John A. McDonald to Sir John A. Macdonald.

Update:
mattbw, Gaff and mmorgan27 have all done as requested. Thanks, noders!
Ground Control felt (I paraphrase) that he didn't have time to fix those nodes. So I offered to kill them instead. He has since promised to review them.

Other thoughts

I had bookmarked microsoft sucks, intending to kill every node in it and audit the nodes of everyone who contributed to it. Not because I love Microsoft, but because all 4 writeups were poor. Fortunately for the perpetrators, sensei swept the node clean before I could do so. But sleep lightly, young noders. Lord Brawl stalks among your nodes, even now.

Editor Log: September 9, 2000

Nodes removed:

Today I perused the collected works of many noders. Some, like those of Fruan, pleased me and many were voted up. Some, like the works of E1 noder wyked, did not please me (or many others, either) and were voted down or killed (see below).

• TM (idea) by xbill 11/13, only node of xbill, no links, neg. rep. Content:
  
  TM, the notorious TradeMark. Employed by those who want to control what you can say and where you can say it, he attaches himself to the names of names of products everywhere. Treat him with respect, and he will silently pass you by... But if you cross&him, armies will decend upon you, and take you for all you're worth.
• Erin Leach (person) by L0ki. 11/13. Noder's only node. Quite derogatory.
• NFN (idea) by Leto Atreides 2 Leto wrote:
  
  This would be an example of Noding for Numbers.
  
  And this is an example of how editors respond to NFN.
• era the on behalf of tribbel who sensibly (as everyone) moved it to Era and fixed the jargon file links.
• Lite beer (thing) by wyked 11/13. Spell check anyone? Content:
  
  A fabled substance, brewed by the Oompa Loompa from the finess smurf pancreas available in our galaxy. If you come across a vile of this, you can test your luck applying it, but last time I got a nasty blue rash on my nuts.
• Have you tried reinstalling? (idea) by wyked 11/13. Pointless content:
  
  Linux help hotline for windows users: "have you tried assassinating bill gates?"
  see also: satan
• chin nuts by wyked and weramona 11/13. I chose not to preserve it here.
• Aborectus Maximus, Rosco Flatulento, Prince Thelonious Butt by wyked 11/13 nonsense. I chose not to preserve it.
• RCPM (thing) by wyked 11/13 Made no sense .. maybe a response to something deleted?
  
  Shouldn't it be RPCM? And why would rabbits shoot their one and only favorite food at their enemy? well you'll answer to the APRC for this little dispute.
• everyone who hates JeffMagnus say "aye" (idea) by NtG 11/13 content:
  nay
• lots 'o space (idea) by airborne 11/13 E1 related.
  
  That's what you do NOT have on Everything :-).
• Uranus-Hertz (thing) by wh0rde 11/13 nonsense:
  
  I think they should make a movie called NinjaWarrior where chicks dig scrawny pale guys with warts, racing stripes on their cars, and adequate head stubble. Then an Alian Sex Fiend with an evil power source come and use necrotizing salve on a now Republican George W. Bush and teach him size does matter. He starts to whine like a mangledkid and he finds out he has too many acquaintances and too few friends to help him. His shrinkage (both) cause ( continue! --->)
• continue! (thing) by wh0rde continuation of above:
  
  ( ---- Uranus-Hertz )accidental poisoning in humans and his ego gets fucked-up. -wh0rde
• peek-a-boo roof (thing) by wh0rde 11/13 Linkless ramble:
  
  I got a ride from my friend whos dad is a house cleaner or something and I had to sit in the back of this industrial van and it stank like rotten food, and he kept talking about how he was going to tear a hole in the roof to get some sunshine. It was interesting.
• Detroit Red Wings (thing) by Berkeley 11/13 Unlinked, subjective:
  
  Best damn hockey team in the NHL

Nodeshells

(gods) nuked these nodeshells: Erin Leach, era the, No, but Right on, so do you have Gertrude's number?, RCPM, Aborectus Maximus, Age of Ack, Rosco Flatulento, Prince Thelonious Butt.

New ones: continue! and Uranus-Hertz

And can someone do something with juliet's Decebemer 28, 1998. A node title edit, at least. I don't quite know what else to suggest, it overreaches me.

Users /msg'd

A long chat with Utini420 about some old nodes. I think we're in sync now.

/msg Senso Are you sure about honey I'm coming? Isn't it "here's johnny"?
/msg fondue Is E2 Poll! What Video Card Should I Buy? still relevant?

The Young and the Nodeless

ideath has helped these noders find peace...

By my semi-mighty hand: xbill, L0ki.

By their own failure to node: Zach Frey, l-train8, ...

Also I gave ideath these ones: Zach Hobbs, zachdahlem, ZachHobbs, Zachsmind, zacl

O mighty dem bones: we, your servants, carrying the torch of our illustrious Master sensei, do offer up our labours unto you, that they might find favour.

Writeups removed:

  I think someone should poop in his tacos.
• E1 noder memra's nodestring consisting of lots 'o space+, lots 'o space++, lots 'o space+++ and lots 'o space++++. To quote one of those nodes "Vacuous even."

  also see hangover
• Fool Killer (person) by l4me0 Lame-o indeed. User's only node, 11/13. Content was:

• most beautiful woman (person) by drL1nux Ms. Portman has sufficient other E2 tribute:
  Still is Natalie Portman
• r00t (thing) by drL1nux A w/u w/o a node, very curious. Also linkless and pointless, and now removed.
  
  What have you r00ted today? r00t- the superuser account on a *nix computer system
• chicks dig scrawny pale guys by mayzie, and weak getting-to-know-you responses by GreatQuux, 7Ghent, Kerosene, drL1nux but I left several others.
• Jill Connick (person) by E1 noder saundeam. He had it bad, to do this in so many nodes:
  
  Wife of Harry Connick Jr and the most beautiful woman in the world. see: Jill Goodacre
• Chandler (person) by saundeam philler:
  
  Fictional character on the tv show Friends. Played by ... uh... damn ,forgot his name.
• We're all gonna die (idea) by E1 noder Marellen Shallow, linkless content:
  
  What will eventually happen.
• The Turning (thing) by Marellen. Obsolesced by saundeam's w/u.
• WAGD (thing) by Marellen. Obsolesced by time itself.
• scatterbrains.com (idea) by E1 noder eventi. Typical of most .com nodes:
  
  This is a website run by a total asshole who rips off everything he sees. Not unlike e-loser.com
• Jennifer Aniston naked (idea) by eventi Uhm, thanks for sharing ... not.
• Screwtape (person) by fled user Screwtape Content-that-should-have-been-elsewhere:

• meep meep (thing) by lana 11/14, user's only node:
  
  meep meep ;)
• Newt Gingrich (person) by ThePod 11/13 Edifying content:

  Everything Turf War
• 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDE (idea) by ThePod
  Another w/u where if you click "full" beside it in the User Search list E2 comes back with "nothing found" but the individual w/u still exists. Presumably the main node itself was killed somehow? Anyway:
  
  I like to annoy people too but, man, i wouldn't wanna crash everything.
• format your hard disk (idea) by ThePod
  What Steve needed to do when he screwed up the installation of INN on our Linux box.

  Really Large Nipples!
• putt-putt and I created this node first by ThePod. It was philler, related to E1's Everything Turf War. Not preserved here.

  Toddel is an Alien from Outer-Pfalz.
  Uh-huh.
• James Bond (person) by lasefaire 11/13 content:
  
  Do you admire James Bond for his womanizing? - - - McCarthy?
  What's up with the "McCarthy?" thing? I wondered too...
• McCarthy? (idea) by lasefaire 11/13 content:
  
  What is McCarthy? It is an idea that will change the world forever.
  I guess not.

I know it looks like I came down hard on ThePod, but it's all junky E1 stuff. The stuff I left is marginally better. Normally I would also kill these E1 related nodes: The First Everything Gang, Everything Gang and Everything Police but they're in dem_bones' "Everything Culture" Nodes list. What should I do?

I "glared at" (great term, Jet-Poop): Harry Connick, Jr and tube steak by saundeam; but decided I'd inflicted enough hurt on this noder today.

I am not quite as restrained as jaypea. I will *not* list anyone who has been on in the last 60 days. I *will* kill a user's only w/u and put them on the list if (a) they are long gone and (b) it's lame.

Removable nodeshell: BECAUSE IT WANTED TO GODDAMNIT!

Users /msg'd

I actually helped some noders in the Nursery! Who'd of thunk it. Usually they flee the moment I appear. Sometimes they stop to type "Eeeep!" first. I can't imagine why, can you sensei?

I had a looooong talk with Antisonic in The Chambers of Sith. I don't know how much it helped, but I hope for the best. It's tough to be young and idealistic. I think. I barely remember either...

/msg flip Hi I recommend a big fix or a nuke request on to node or not to node because I *really* hate this kind of stuff.
Ok, maybe there is a reason they flee like that ...

Nodes that cry out for help

Webby's mechanical definition of Childlessness is so ... cold. This is a subject that , with the right author, could yield a really meaningful w/u. I wish I knew a good way to publicize this kind of node ... although the catbox cattle call came out OK.

The Young and the Nodeless

Found nodeless and long away: Floss, dajoba

Other thoughts

As per dannye's suggestion yesterday I looked at some of MegAaron's oeuvre. Only C! ME NOW DAMN IT! DON'T MAKE ME SHOOT! (currently -5) stood out as totally meritless, and since I can't kill it w/o leaving a nodeshell, I passed.

Editor Log: September 16, 2000

Users nuke request

Someone please do in E1 user sonuvbob and all of his nodes. They all refer to "THE CULT" which seems to have been him and his warez buddies. Sometimes it's via pipes so it looks half-decent until you click it. I looked at every node, and they're all this same sort of junk.

Writeups removed

• The Dead End Node (place) by E1 noder Deadfred. Blank w/u.

• Also hot library chicks, perverted things¹, everyone naked: 1350, put to death, annoying girl in the Ameritech commercial all by GuNgA-DiN. Killed for stupidity, redundancy, or outright misogyny.
• GURRRLZ (person) by rivet. Fled user. A response to GuNgA-DiN's misogyny.
• fuck you (idea) by Actuary X 11/13 node by active noder. Content:
  
  You heard me.
  Someone whose mission is "to create a small number of high quality nodes" needs to do better than that. User /msg'd
• Jennifer Connelly (person) by E1 noder drfrank. Mostly a redirect to the web. We have lots of room now, so don't do this:
  
  Actress. DOB: 1970.12.12 IMDB Info: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Connelly,+Jennifer
• fuck life (idea) by drafider 11/13. E1 noder. Content:
  
  life fucking sucks and shit pisses me off. so fuck life, its all shit anyways right?
• Jack Kevorkian (person) by drafider 11/13. E1 noder. Content omitted.
  The prompt: Kill 'Jack Kevorkian (person)' ? seemed somewhat ironic. (Hey there, Alanis, taking notes?)

^{1. It wasn't perverse so much as offensive.}

Nodeshells E2 can do without: Natalie Portman's clit, GURRRLZ, fuck life

Other thoughts

GuNgA-DiN has quite a lot of stuff at around -3 and -4. Anyone who is feeling bloodthirsty might want to take a look.

coke has two writeups that misspell cocaine as "coccaine". Both responsible noders seem to have departed.

• bare metal, barfulation and barfulous (idea) by never-logged-in noder cpwright. Less-complete versions or duplicates of the autonoded Jargon File entries below them. I chose to delete cpwright's because it's a less complete set than rescdsk's autonoted project. There are likely quite a few more, but I can't be bothered right now.

Some offensive nodeshells were discovered and/or reported and noted here. Now they are gone. This is good. Please, if you must express displeasure with others, do not use the nodeshelling method. Thank you.

Could someone look at the yug_inverse series on "inserting X into the vagina"? I'm afraid I'm, uhm, not much of an expert on inserting things into the vagina, so I have to ask: "Are these writeups of any value, or should they be banished?"

Finally, the nodeshell Nodes Juliet has made love to seems a bit daft and could probably be sent back to the gel.

Killing nick's holy trio left a dangling w/u by billyjoebob. I can't decide what to do with it.

Writeups which puzzle me:

Driveway+Brendan (idea) by lillianvalencia. I'd /msg if I could think of anything to say ...

Nodeshells

Nodeshells resulting from the above:
Matthew Fucking D. Sinclair, (gnihT), " and ", repetitively, it,, asdfjl;, meback, mefront, stupid node, uhh, http://equilibrium.fix.no/

Sometimes a nodeshell is a thing of beauty. Random nodes divulged the nodeshell erect penis created by girlotron. Well ... I suppose it's possible ... without having met girlotron it's difficult to say for certain. In the same category of serendipity falls the node wet spot created by CitricAvenger.

Users /msg'd

The usual ... a lot of spelling /msgs and some content corrections, too. Also:
/msg job0 Typo "assualted" s.b. "assaulted" in Dee Barnes
The noder fled before I could summon him or her to my lair.
Note that the node is currently DEE BARNES and could use a title edit to de-cap it.

Several to newbie dtyranus to no avail about typos in several nodes, like so:
/msg dtyranus The Five Kingdoms is full of typos: "Kingodoms", "hightst", "hightest", etc. Please fix.
... but to no avail. Possibly so green as not to grok the chatterbox?

Cleanup on aisle 5: fled users Mighty_KC and Snipe.

• Snipe Hunting at the Olympics (idea) by Mighty_KC. Here's a sample of his work:
  
  Sydney has just announced that they will indeed have Snipe Hunting at the Olympics. It will be held at the Stonewall hotel in the Homosexual district of Sydney. The attendents have been givin notice however some refuse to leave. So the Olympic commitee has decided that Snipes will be worth 5 points, and homosexuals will be worth 10. Homosexual snipes are worth 50. The Mexicans seem to be the heavy favorite since they go around shooting eachother anyway.

• One more Smurf Node to shock people by Mighty_KC
• This Snipe Won't Die by Mighty_KC and Snipe
• My Rusty by Mighty_KC and Snipe

And some other maintenance work:

• Lucien Bouchard (person) only writeup of drive-by noder PeterMiller.
  Current leader of the Parti Québecois, government of the province of Québec, is a leader comparible to Hitler in his persecusion of the English speaking population the remains in the province. Irrational, insane and prone to feats of immense stupidity, he is a dangerous lunatic that somehow remains in power.
  Ah, the Hitler card. Rhetoric at it's best, isn't it?
• Air (thing) by E1 noder Ghengis. Mercy Kill (-6)
  That substance of which a blonde female's head is full of in place of a brain.

  Evil right-winger
  Maybe. But that's not enough by itself.
• fatass (person) by drive-by noder EOF. Content:
  
  Cartman
  Maybe. But that's not enough by itself.
• humble and Assistant Crack wh0rez Magazine by The Cow. Self-important bullshit, of the unearned variety.
• The Imploding Head of Bill Gates (thing) by E1 noder RaptorCK. RaptorCK dislikes Bill Gates. I've alerted the media.
• skanky slut rosa (person) by fled user nibbles. Mercy kill (-5):
  
  Succubus that just happens to be very fond of Ricky Martin.
• Zorin (person) by Iniaes (a personal attack) and a response by nibbles (that should have been a /msg).
• queef (thing) by Iniaes. Mercy kill (-5). Not worth repeating here.

After I'd mopped up all of the nodegel, there were some empty nodeshells rolling around in the aisle:
Tara girl, One more Smurf Node to shock people, This Snipe Won't Die, My Rusty, Snipe Hunting at the Olympics, Snipe's bed,
