DSP DSP Outages

rube are you working with @TAFNAC creating the new site you’ve alluded to a couple times, or are you going rogue and creating a competitor?

 

affirmative
yes
both

craig gave me admin permissions with DSP forum but not the server information
craig has installed a fresh copy of the DSP forum software and I think said he would give me admin permissions there but it would not allow me to make an account
then no more communication from craig

i started working on stuff for my bookstore
but i also built a forum onto it
i know you guys arent interested in my book stuff so i made a separate database for a dodgers forum and gave it a rudimentary forum
i think i tried to talk to craig again about the DSP stuff and then the stuff i was working on but i havent heard back

and ive been mentioning it to you guys too but ive also been mostly ignored other than one or two people at least being a little curious as to wtf im talking about

last couple of days i been working on the casino
just for fun, no promises

 

im not even dutch
but i sometimes wear clogs
i usually wear huarache zapatos
so i can sneak around in my espadrilles
now give me a warm ciabatta
and everybody throw your sabot
when the merry day of sabbath comes
and its spa day in the former lands of espn

 

i know you think being evasive is clever
but in all seriousness, the people here deserve to know

 

eye eye matey now go back up and read my reply again and relax your sphincter
i added more stuff so you wouldnt think me such a clever cabin boy

 

i

 

au contraire mon cher frere
when in flanders the fog of war is the air you breathe

 

there is no sabotage
what do you guys care for more
do you guys care about being at the domain dailysportspages?
or...
do you care about staying together even if it means at another site?

craig is probably really busy
im busy too
so you guys can be patient and wait till the problems are fixed here
i know he is trying but im not sure if he has enough experience with this kind of thing
its not that its difficult but it can be time consuming to troubleshoot problems
and i dont know when craig will be able to do it for you guys
you can be patient and wait for that
and you will get what you want
for things to be like they have been

or you can come with me to the new site
that works

 

completely agree
@TAFNAC may be busy, but it’s not right to make decisions without his involvement or consent
no offense @rube but it’s unfair to imply he might not be tech savvy, when he’s been the one many of us have turned to wherever there’s been a problem
he has always fixed whatever problems we’ve encountered and i trust him more than anyone else here
i mean, who would you turn to if your proposed new site had a meltdown?
you also asked what type of forum we’d like
i don’t want to speak for everyone, but i’m guessing most would like something as close to this version of dsp as possible
i appreciate all you’ve done rube, but i think you and craig really need to talk
and be humble
dsp turns it’s lonely eyes to you

 

you guys are rich

 

BDK post was a good post.
And it was rational too.
Hence he got a good reply.
You will get more of that.

I was up till past 4 last night waiting for the morgue people to pick up my dead uncle in the living room.
We been singing and playing him his music everyday for the past week to send him away the old fashioned way.
The house has been like full of people coming to see him day and night on his last days.
And none of them are his family as he married into our family and church 25 years ago.
But he went like king surrounded by people playing praying and weeping for him as he passed without a whimper.

Why am i saying this?
Maybe a little old fashioned protestant guilt tripping you guys a little with this, sure.
Or its my lack of humility proving that im as incorrigible as it gets.
But a few curious minds are suspiciously wondering about the coincidental timing of this sites recent string of crashes during the time ive also been telling you guys that im working on a new site.
Why is this all happening at the same time?
Its not a conspiracy.
Ive just finally had some time at home.

I started a bookstore early this year and im getting ready to open a salvadorian deli this coming month.
Yet im staying home from the shop and closed the bookstore so i can be home this week.
So im here and have some minutes of downtime in between helping out with the food and stuff.
And so i take that time to spend my money to build you a site.
You BZ.
Or any other person who has a problem getting logged out and their account crashing for unknown errors.
If one of you has a problem having the site work for them then I have a problem too.
It bugs me if something bugs you.

My employees are all special needs people.
They are volunteers, i pay them in snacks and sodas. I know im a horrible person.
And I swear its easier to deal with them than with some normal people somedays.
Special needs people respond well to logic. Once you teach them a little of it.
Because they are of good and pure faith.

Look now im rambling on about a minute trivial subject again like i tend to do.
But i will tell you the info you wanted to know.
I am very busy and my life is too unlawfully chaotic for me to share much with you.
But i will always make time for you.
Unless im dying somewhere and have to disappear for a while.

Yes there is a new site.
No, i wont be dropping a link to the new site until there is unity.
We will all be here in this broken place until Craig fixes it or you guys unite.
I am in no rush, my plate is full.

You are what you do. You are how you act. Your faith are your actions.
And that includes what you say. And that is at the very least.
On the internet we not only act by talking we show our very thoughts.
These are your actions and they are who you are.

If i drop a link I might trigger some poor weak soul to say that im the one hacking DSP to cause it to crash.
And they will justify themselves with banal 'im just asking questions' that people lacking integrity tend to say until they find solid footing.
Heaven forbid i cause my fellows to stumble by accidentally putting bad thoughts in their head.
So i would rather be patient and let them get their bearings before i do anything that will activate their demons.

If you want the domain of the new site then help me raise the levels of teen spirit around here.

 

sorry about your uncle @rube

 

thank you irish, he was a great guy
a lovable loser type who become one of my closest friends as soon as we met
hes not really my uncle and i never called him uncle, he was my aunts third husband
but we were really cool and he played a mean guitar
he was the humblest guy i ever met
he would listen to you ramble on about whatever was on your mind and just respond by saying 'bueno' or 'malo' and that was it
and in a very non judgemental way, almost just acknowledging when something is good and something is fucked up
loved talking to the guy
he was also a class A shyster who got me for 200 bucks early on when he asked me to 'hold' a ring for him

he loved making deals
he made a bunch of deals over the years as he went from being a jeweler to a pawnshop artist buying and selling stuff he liked
i have most of his leftover junk
lots of old guitars and classic amps and various musical equipment as well as lots of remote control cars and jewelers tools

he is one of the most important people in terms of influencing who i turned out to be today
or at least how i wish i would be
because this guy has had brain tumors and liver cancer and all kinds of shit and even up to the last 3 days before he died if you EVER in your life ask this man how he was doing he would always reply 'bien'. Even up to 3 days before he died if you asked him how he felt he would say 'bien'. I never saw him make sounds of pain until the last few days and only because my aunts sons convinced her to call the hospital when he had a little cough.
they intubated him and when he came back he could no longer swallow without immense pain and they had him on the death drug so when we got him back the poor guy could not eat or drink without choking on it and going into a coughing fit
same thing my dads wife did to him and he died within days just like my uncle
but the difference is that my uncle chelino was able to stay home and they didnt send him back again
my dad was sent back two weeks after he had gone and as soon as they intubated him again he died alone connected to the machine in a cold steely room
humanely like a dog
chelino on the other hand was kept warm by his friends everyday this week and sent off better than royalty
more people here at the house now that hes gone and they keep bringing food and stuff
this guy was the humblest chubby little brown man who had the keenest wit and was the best at mexican flyting
never saw him fight with anyone or be meanspirited or anything like that, the dude was an absolute prince of a man
and when it comes to being sick and dying the toughest man ive ever known
so the toughest man ive ever known
whose daughter died when she was a baby and he was blamed by his family so he lost his original family and was marked a piece of shit and he had to leave his world in el paso texas and move to start a new life here in california where he met my middle aged aunt who had a violent special needs boy who used to hit her and he helped raise until he got old and i took over the job.

chelino was a great example of what becoming a man was for me
some people say he was not all there because he never cared about keeping money
he would help people make money and spread the money around and facilitate deals between the rich and the poor
sometimes he would be accused of being a shyster
and he was
to the rich
