Total Solar Eclipse at Ceduna, South Australia

moooooooo writes "The total Solar Eclipse on December 4 is fast approaching with Ceduna in South Australia being one of the better places to observe this rare event. Accomodation was thought to have been booked out but a new site has been set up where you can find more information on the event. Information can be found here and accomodation info is at the bottom of the page. I heard on the radio that they will be setting up a "tent city" for those of us who want to camp out." There's a very impressive eclipse page describing the orbital conditions necessary for an eclipse and listing solar and lunar eclipses coming up.

    I have a problem.

    I used to be a regular at geekizoid. I make no excuses -- at the time it was a fun place. People posted random thoughts... nonsense articles... flamed each other with wanton abandon. It wasn't full of stuck up dickless wonders like certain other sites. Amazing as it may sound now, this haven of juvenile fun was hosted by Vladinator, aka Scott Lockwood, aka Fat Fucking Loser.

    Things changed, of course, because nothing involving a brain-dead obesity like Lockwood can remain fun for long. Sure enough, the drooling fat fool tried to make geekizoid into a more "serious" site, and offer commercial hosting to other piss-poor attempts at slash/scoop sites -- amusing to anyone familiar with the long history of hilarious incompetence shown by the band of half-wits administering his systems. It is at this point that anyone bar a few determined Lockwood mockers and his pet cock-suckers left *.geekizoid for good.

    This is my problem. I was once a geekizoidian. I now hate and despise Lardinator and all those associating with him. How do I remove this taint from my soul and rejoin the troll brotherhood? Am I doomed to wander, anonymously, the wastelands of 20721, forever excluded from decent troll society?

    Also, the "tidal-wave of vitality" had been ongoing for quite some time before Mr. Momochrome became overcome with jealousy that people were talking about someone other than him and thus decided to throw his hat into the ring. He's nothing. A washed-up has-been. Nowadays, who even remembers who Momochrome was? I sure don't fucking remember, and I've been into the Slashdor troll-scene hardcore since before the scene existed. Momochrome was a one-line footnote on page 4,275 of the history of trolling, and most people didn't even bother to read that page, let alone the footnotes.

    apologies

    Apology \A*pol"o*gy\, n.; pl. Apologies. [L. apologia, Gr. ?; ?
    from + ?: cf. F. apologie. See Apologetic.] 1. Something said or written in
    defense or justification of what appears to others wrong, or of what may be
    liable to disapprobation; justification; as, Tertullian's Apology for
    Christianity.

    It is not my intention to make an apology for my poem; some
    will think it needs no excuse, and others will receive none. --Dryden.

    2.
    An acknowledgment intended as an atonement for some improper or injurious remark
    or act; an admission to another of a wrong or discourtesy done him, accompanied
    by an expression of regret.

    3. Anything provided as a substitute; a
    makeshift.

    He goes to work devising apologies for window curtains.
    --Dickens.

    Syn: Excuse.

    Usage: An apology, in the original sense
    of the word, was a pleading off from some charge or imputation, by explaining
    and defending one's principles or conduct. It therefore amounted to a
    vindication. One who offers an apology, admits himself to have been, at least
    apparently, in the wrong, but brings forward some palliating circumstance, or
    tenders a frank acknowledgment, by way of reparation. We make an apology for
    some breach of propriety or decorum (like rude expressions, unbecoming conduct,
    etc.), or some deficiency in what might be reasonably expected. We offer an
    excuse when we have been guilty of some breach or neglect of duty; and we do it
    by way of extenuating our fault, and with a view to be forgiven. When an excuse
    has been accepted, an apology may still, in some cases, be necessary or
    appropriate. ``An excuse is not grounded on the claim of innocence, but is
    rather an appeal for favor resting on some collateral circumstance. An apology
    mostly respects the conduct of individuals toward each other as equals; it is a
    voluntary act produced by feelings of decorum, or a desire for the good opinion
    of others.'' --Crabb.

    Years ago, I won the battle of the sids, and relegated all the old-guard troll cabal to the obscurity of a clumsy mailing list. I graciously left ?sid=trolltalk to the neophytes and amateurs, as a sort of stomping ground wherein they might practice the craft. Trolltalk survives today as ?sid=20721, and the tradition had continued quite nicely until recently.

    Now it appears that inter-factional rivalry is attempting to rear its ugly head. The phoneboy cabal, after such ruthless and base treatment of vlad, in a capacity quite extending beyond that which is decent, breaking the code of troll ethics, our own version of 'honor among thieves', and in fact, quite actually breaking several state and federal anti-trolling laws, have debased this once lovely stomping ground and brought their diseased and perverted notions into the fore. And now they promise to utterly dominate the underworld of our own slashdot! This cannot be allowed to happen.

    With Klerck acting as regent during the Geekizoid era (and furthering the art of the troll with skill and finesse, I might add), the slashdot underground moved along nicely, with the occasional hiccough brought on by taco and his feeble anti-trolling efforts.

    And so, as your rightful King, I do hereby proclaim an edict: Henceforth, anyone attached to the Phoneboy Cabal is to be considered corpus memento, and is to be treated as such with extreme prejudice.
