Adam Pilon		19/Mar/2001:03:30:47
Thank you All -- It's been a great birthday!
Grahm	Gus	17/Mar/2001:15:05:38
Wow! So many birthday wishes! And I hope I'm not the last. Happy Birthday, Adam. And thank God your mother didn't name you Patrick. gB

Happy Birthday you little leprichan! Who knew when you were trying so desperately to disassemble everything electronic in our house that one day you'd grow up to be a bus driver? Hapy Bday!! AL

Have the most dAzZLinG of birthdays, Adam.... shine, shine, shine!

Adam was smart to get his mid-life out of the way early. Now he can enjoy his golden years while he's still young enough to appreciate them. Happy Birthday!
flower		16/Mar/2001:12:01:59
nah. adam was only 50 in high school, when he wanted a monocle and pipe for his birthday. by now, he must be ageless... ;) (ps. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!)

J.S. Mill		11/Mar/2001:16:40:17
Bravo, control. I can't say that the new look is sexy, but it is most certainly sleek and efficient. Being the father of utilitarian logic, I would say that function is always more desirable than form when it comes to computer interfaces. Just employ the hedonic calculus and enjoy the results. I'm sure my good friend Jeremy would agree were his head not hanging on some wall in a prominent English University, or is that my head? I don't seem to care, too busy with that contented pig nonsense. Fuck it, who wants tea.
Wade M Saathoff		10/Mar/2001:14:11:35
The forum has been particularly incoherent recently. And for Adam - I must say not only is the new start page nicer looking it actually loads (AND FAST!) on my home "computer"
ray		10/Mar/2001:13:07:01
you're all very weird. i quickly skimmed all these comments and i must say i understand very little of what the hell is going on. does this make me dumb?? inquiring minds want to know....
Wade M Saathoff		10/Mar/2001:00:59:36
Hmm, my spidey sensai is tingling... this must mean =W=easer is lathering up for a concert of some sort.
Adam V. Pilon	Triple Digit Media Concern	09/Mar/2001:21:21:33
Why, thank you Wade.. Thank you for the compliment. As TDMC celebrates our one year anniversary this month, I'd like to thank all TDMC users for their support. Without You, there would be no TDMC. I would personally like to thank you all for using TDMC as your start page. To celebrate our anniversary, we will be rolling out a more-efficient interface. The old interface, I think, was graphically pleasing, but was becoming to large. The code was getting large, and took too long to load for some users. As I'm sure you noticed, TDMC's developers have decided to go with a streamlined user-interface. During the remainder of March, make sure to check out TDMC's sub pages as changes will take place on a page-by-page basis. -- Check out "eComs," -- It's in a beta test right now! And as always, I'm always looking to make this site more "Usefull" to her users. If there is a site that you use often, please let me know, and I'm sure I can find a home for it -- or perhaps start a new sub-page.

Hello all. Hello Janice. (-- smooth deep voice) I'd like to announce that there's some free music on the web. As many of you know me and Wade (Nanocat41) are teen sensation ghost rock band Mayhem Lettuce. We've had our smash hit breakthrough song Fat Bob On The Prowl available for download for quite some time at www.mp3.com/mayhemlettuce. But now there's more! Wade's solo project, Coma Toast (Ghost) has some stuff up at www.mp3.com/toastghost and my solo project, English Major has a few songs up at www.mp3.com/englishmajor. Check them out. More to come. Peace out. Peace out, Janice. (-- smooth Barry White voice) gB

Hello, all... I've been getting some reports of the Navigator Buttons malfunctioning on some users computers. As you file in and out of this forum, can you please drop me a quick note either here or via email and let me know if you've had problems, or not.. Thanks, all..... Also -- What else do you want on these pages? I'm gonna update the services pages with links to banks so you can check balances, yada, yada, yada..... What banks do you use? Adam.

I have bad news. My cat was killed today. Curley. He ran out into the road and he was hit by a car. He was put to sleep this morning, his hips were shattered, and so were both of his back legs. We don't think he was in pain, he purred when you pet him. So i'm glad he wasn't in any pain. He was only six months old. I'm glad his brother walt is still around, so there is one cute grey kitty to make us happy. Sarah

The time is 3:24pm on Friday the 23rd of February. The word behind the buttons, I'm afraid it just won't do. I can't see what the buttons say anymore, I mean I can, but it's not so clear eh. I'm being a baby, I know. Perhaps if it were to contrast with the black background less. Say dark grey. SAY IT

hi all- this is more managable than sending out a mass email... but anyway, my computer had a few problems this week ["boot record not count"]. i had to reinstall 98, and lost a lot of settings, etc. so my cable modem is not talking to the tower right now, ergo i don't have home-based net access. which explains why i haven't been emailing, if any of you were expecting to hear from me. i hope to have the lazarus machine full functional in the next week, with an upgrade of sorts [more RAM, new sound card]. rock on sister. jef [the new buttons don't go "boop" as far as i can tell, which makes me vote for the old ones of course, i ALWAYS vote for old ones and elder gods]

This one time, they took this potatoe, and they cut it into slices, circular slices, and they put this sauce on it wot's got cheese in it. All other potatoes can bugger off
Nessssssssssssssssss		16/Feb/2001:23:35:11
Howdy. I wanted all of you to know that you should eat potatoes. They are delicious, nutricious and brown like turds. That makes them yummy. Personally, Dan hates potatoes because they are delicious, nutritious and brown like turds. this was all his idea. Thank you, and have a wonderful remainder of your day. PS make sure it's potato filled. if I spelled this wrong, live with it. I am a product of the spell check generation. And I eat, potatoes.

Steve Marantz	Triple Digit Media Concern	09/Feb/2001:15:39:05
Ladies and Gentlemen: TDMC has been hacked! We will be going "off the air" to make repairs at 3:00 Central Standard Time. FTP and Telnet services are currently down at TDMC, and therefore, no updates can be made to the site. The only way to repair the damage that's been done is to reformat the Cobalt Server and reinstall the operating System. TDMC apologizes for any inconvienience this may cause. Although reformatting the server means that Janice will have to re-post the site this evening, it isn't really that big a deal. TDMC regularly makes backups of all settings and files in .raq format. What this means is that as soon as the server is back up, all Janice will have to do is upload the .raq file to the server, all settings, files, users, and pages will be restored. We hope that TDMC's downtime will be brief. Thank you for your understanding. Steve.

fyi layoffs are horrible. luckily i wasn't on the sharp end of the "let me walk you to the door" stick, but it is still difficult. pause to remember those unfortunate enough to work for a large corporation, and are let go, cause consumers are fickle. sort of like in the "5th element". yes, that is what it feels like. though it is nice to have temps in the high 70's in early february, but that is really beside the point since it is only supposed to be 50 today. yup.

Oh. Also, you should bring some waffles and syrup. Yeah. And let's invite Adam.

6.0 Frameless, my arse! Tell those whiny bitches to buy a 17" monitor and set it to 1024x768. What should perhaps happen is that there's www.tdmc.org/index.htm which leads to the glorious 5.4 and then whiny loser bitches can push the I'm a big wuss and can't handle frames" button which takes them to www.tdmc.org/wussindex.htm Then, they can bookmark that as their startpage. Of course this means more work for the Concern's staff as they'd have to put the news stories on both front pages. But how hard is CTRL C and then CTRL V? C'mon!
jef		07/Feb/2001:13:07:13
i of course shall email dave with these suggestions, but i thought all y'all should have them too, in the event you need to do a similar project. songs: anything by rage against the machine [duh] anything by atari teenage riot [also duh] lots of billy bragg selected REM all kinds of bad religion, dead kennedys, other punk, etc. a lot of ani defranco some beautiful south some housemartins 10,000 maniacs had some stuff back in the day when natalie merchant was writing their lyrics... suzanne vega's "luka" or the lemonheads cover counts, being about child abuse i could go on and on...

Dave		07/Feb/2001:00:44:29
Greetings all. You may notice that my my name has an unusual yellow cast to it this evening. That is because I need your help. I am currently taking a rather interesting independent study course on economic and social justice. I have negotiated with my instructor to compile a CD of protest music as one of the assignments for this course. This is where you all come in. I have a good start on it, but I need more. If any of you have a favorite song about the evils of capitalism, racism, sexism etc. I would love to add it to the list. Please e-mail me your suggestions. I would be happy to get you a copy of the finsihed product (and a big hug as well). help me fight the good fight, Dave From each according to [their] ability, to each according to [their]need.
sarah		06/Feb/2001:09:26:12
it's all good ness darling, I haven't been around much either though. Been busy moving and all. Which i have a new address and such, if anyone is curious, you know how to email me. (this is a hint for email). I miss you as well. And you know where to find my stuff ness, even though I haven't been writing too much lately. Hence the "sarah can't go to college and is greatly depressed" type of thing. Meet in dekalb some day ness, and maybe we'll ride off into the sunshine together...

I miss you guys. I really truly do. Right, so you all need to open accounts at my bank or something. MidAmerica National Bank, River Drive in Moline. Attached to the sign that says Shive Hattery. Really, you can't miss the sign...well, maybe you can. Anyway, it will open realy soon, and I know you all love me. So Do it. Or don't, it might be fun though. Kris, the cute teller takes lunch from 12:30 to 1:00 so if you were to pop in or something, do it at some other time. Right. Nessssssssssssss Sarah, I hope things are well. I don't get to do this as often as I would like. Haven't read your things is a while. This makes me pout.

Hopefully the wicked naughty Florida monkey weasel will push the button we asked him to push 3 months ago and everything will be solved. I think I had at least 14 heart attacks today. I'm breathing a little easier now and I'm about to go home and eat dinner with my mom. Also I got the game Stop Thief in the mail today. It RULES!!!! gB

false alarm the floaty head can be seen there but the links won't work as they still point to the old site which has been stolen from me by one Mr Kevin Kemp. If you see Kevin, be sure to kick him until he stops breathing for me. So you can navigate clumsily by typing things like: www.tdmc.org/~gb/new.htm or www.tdmc.org/~gb/gB.htm etc were there a gun i'd be firing it
Gus	Gus (temp)	31/Jan/2001:15:01:26

I have looked all over for "live on tape" with no luck, so I figured mabey somebody in here might know. When fox18 was just kljb t.v. they had a show called "Live on Tape", it was a cheesy sketch show but it was hilarious. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about it and if possibly know where I could find old episodes. Thanx 01

There is much sadness in the heart of the Bob. Although he does have "The Nubian Nut" in his possession, there is no Chicago in his near future. He has had an additional rehearsal thrust upon him, one which he cannot escape. But within the next few months, he will come to visit his friends. He promises. Until then, Your faithful servant, bo8b

I don't know if anybody remembers when kljb tv first came on the air, but they had this television show called "LIVE ON TAPE" it was a hilarious sketch show. I have been looking for it for about 3 months now, if anybody can help me find this, it would be very appreciated. I might give you a dollar. Thank you. and please help concerned

I feel I must be offended that No one listened to Charlie when taking my Wonkavator apparatus. The wonkavator will take you where you need to go! It will fit all of you! Thats right, and the best thing about it, is that the wonkavator is free! Thats right my friends, Free!!! Now you don't want to steal the joy of little charlie by not acknowledging his genius idea do you! Poor charlie.....maybe him and veruca can get it on for a little while.... Mr. Willy Wonka

I'm theoretically getting my tire fixed today. So assuming that the Service Engine Soon Light is a hoax, we'll be okay. The light hasn't come on the last few times I've driven. So if I can fix my tire today then we can all take Jyak - the Geek-Mobile.

Hey, I just had an idea. how 'bout all of us riding up on the train? It would take longer, and probably cost more, and cut down on our chi-town fun time, but Dave would only have to make it to galesburg and back, a measly commute. Unless someone else has access to a roomy car, for, while i dont' mind driving, my car doesn't accomodate Dave very well. keep me posted on travel arrangements.

The Nubian Nut, my uninformed and crunchy friend, just happens to be the crowning achievement of the funk genre. While I have produced many legendary songs like Atomic Dog and Nuclear Fishin, "the nut" funk-d-fies the spirit like no other. Even white folks can dance to this one.

Grahm	Gus	24/Jan/2001:09:41:10
What's going on? I suppose we can try to all go in my car even though one tire tends to go flat and the service engine soon light has been on for over a week for no apparent reason and the engine temperature gauge fluctuates wildly and is therefore useless and the last time it was in chicago the wheel broke off but apart from taking 2 cars i don't see another option
Dave		23/Jan/2001:21:17:18
I am officially confirming my desire to attend the Chicago festivities. I am doing so only because all of you might normally expect me to drive on such an occasion. Unfortunately, my car's transmission is less than happy, and as grahm can confirm, an unhappy Fifth Avenue can leave you stranded in a far away city for a week. Therefore I am soliciting transportation to the windy city for myself and probably Kris. On a lighter note, Bob, you go girl. "Holdin a shield that's a glowin green, raising a spear that shoots laser beams. Ridin in a space ship up and down the street tootin at the fine women on the block he meet. Goin down to the studio track by track and lettin everyone know the Empire struck back!
Adam V. Pilon		23/Jan/2001:16:22:34
Hey Bob... I'll be happy to pick up / drop you off. I'll give you a call tonight. Adam.
Bob Manasco		23/Jan/2001:16:08:51
Glad to hear about Crochety Tiger, Friggin' Dragon. I am definitely planning to come up for the weekend. I may not have use of my car, though, so would it be possible for someone to pick me up from the Chicago Amtrak station (225 S. CANAL ST.) Friday night and drop me back off there Sunday morning? I miss all you's, and would love to attend the shindig this weekend. Bob Jovi P.S. I just downloaded "The Nubian Nut" from Napster. :)

But I DID say August 4th. You can read it for your self. It clearly says August 4th. I was right. I love Megan and I won't have you try and take her from me.
Nesssssssssssssss		20/Jan/2001:16:19:26
A lot happens on the forum in a week. Grahm, if you meant my sister Megan, her birthday was not the day you mentioned. It would have been more correct to mention August 4 in that case. Right. Dancing Monkey evil Macha sounds like a great idea but driving a long time to see it does not. It happens. I still have no functioning email at work which means I have to find constructive ways of wasting time. As it stands, I have failed. Sheesh. I now need a nap. I am a sleepy monkey. Ness
sarah		18/Jan/2001:10:31:00

sarah		18/Jan/2001:10:28:43
friends, i have some pleas for help: (i shall put them in numbered order) 1) Just found out last night that another one of the cats at my current abode is pregnant. So what does this mean? That we will have yet more cats to overrun this world, and also the farm I reside on unless someone is compassionate to take them. She was impregnated over a month ago, and being as we just realized last night that she is pregnant, she should be having her kittens in less than a month. The mother is a funky looking tabby with not quite stripes, but more circular patters, like crop circles! on her back. The dad is white with orangey colored tips and points, (very pretty) and bright blue eyes. Both have incredibly friendly dispostions. Please find some love for these future cats! pleaaaasssseeee. 2) I am moving! yes! same area, just out. I got an apartment with my boyyfriend and we are moving the weekend of Feb. 1'st. If anyone would like to help us move, that would be wonderful! I woul
Grahm	Gus	17/Jan/2001:14:56:37
1) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is probably good enough to be seen twice, especially if the second time is at the IMAX. 2) If it isn't, there will perhaps be something just as groovy playing at the IMAX theater. If not, perhaps there's a theater in Chicago that actually is cool enough to get either Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? or The Gift. 3) Blue Öyster Cult is playing at Navy Pier in Chicago on August 4th. This day is Sarah's birthday. (And I think Megan's as well. Am I right?) Everybody should go to that. I'll look into ticket prices and such. 4) I want to thank Adam for making the buttons on the left BOOP. Sad in slacks Happy when I lacks (them) gB

Adam V. Pilon		17/Jan/2001:14:16:14
Good Day! In an attempt to take some control and provide some stability to the Crouching Tiger situation, I am posting the following: Hear Ye, Hear ye! I would like to invite you all to Chicago the weekend of the 26th-27th- 28th! Come for the Legos, stay for the Movie! We can all go to Jef's on Friday Night, the 26th, and enjoy an evening of colored, inter- conecting, plastic blocks... And on Saturday, Crouching Tiger at IMAX (pending that it's still showing) I'd like to invite you all** to the Pilon Apartment on Saturday for dinner before the movie! That is all... Adam. **Members and Extended Members of The Group and TDMC users are defined by "all."
jefffffffFFFFFFFF	do i like it when it's good?	17/Jan/2001:13:19:22
hey, if y'all are seeing that tiger movie this weekend, what does that do to plans for IMAX on the 26th? cuz i was planning for Legos on the 25th, but it would be easier to do it on the 26th. yea or nay? fill me in cap'n... oh, and i don't think we needed to be told that derik's an idiot on the front page. i think we almost all know that, even if only on a subconscious level. there might be some arguments on the "fat" and "little" parts tho. oh, and all of my grad school apps are done and in the mail. say your prayers to god, yahweh, gus, eris, or cthulhu that i get in and get some money. the fluorescents are stealing the soul i don't have as it is... they call me mr. smith
Grahm	Gus	17/Jan/2001:09:56:49
Everybody who likes it when it's good, raise your hands. Excellent. Now, everybody who wants to go to DeKalb Saturday Night to see some kind of Tyger and also a Dragon raise your hands. 9:40 PM. Yeah. But first, dinner with Sarah and her Peter at like 7:00 PM. Yeah.

Dilate this Pearl! That's right pansy, I'm calling you out. We'll see who cares for eyes more than you when I rip yours out with a corkscrew and skull fuck you. Some of us like to avoid undue eye strain when possible. Wade, with regard to this [insert amusing verb and animal here] movie, I'm with you, my brother. I say we form a go team to acquire it in Iowa City. If it's good, and still there, we see it again at the IMAX. Nothing personal people, but good entertainment, rare beast that it is, waits for no party or checkbook. Who's with us! The gods made heavy and saw that it was good. They told us to play as loud as hell and we promised that we would.

Jim		15/Jan/2001:16:03:38
Jim WAS in fact trying to think of others: If the movie isn't showing, how does that effect others? Poorly I should think. If it has to be delayed a week, That's not a problem. Getting together for two events rather than one (Jef's Party and IMAX Tiger) is a good thing. Let's hope it works out for the best. Jim.

Jim		15/Jan/2001:15:08:05
Hey Sarah -- We're not sure the movie will be running that far out. with only one screen, they tend to change the show often. Anychance of you being able to borrow a couple of bucks to make it this coming weekend? Jim.

I need some help, boys and girls..... My staff has been having some trouble writing "stories" for the front page 'cause we haven't been in the loop lately. What's going on? Something interesting happen to you lately? What's new? Write up something in the form of a news story, and submitt it to me. Georgia or myself will post it on the front page, giving you the by- line. Imagine! You can be a guest columnist on Triple Digit Media Concern's front page! It's the easiest way to become a published author. Go for it. Anything will do... Did you have a particularly good glass of Kool-Aid brand soft drink? How about a good restfull night? Did you have a wonderful telephone call? Tell us about it! Submit stories to avp@www.tdmc.org Thank you and have a wonderful soda. Adam.

Important bit of business #1: Someone contact me via conventional means when the incontinent tiger blows the dragon as I don't check this forum often. Important bit of business #2: As has been frequently noted by TDMC's devoted fans, the new buttons are indeed sexy. Bravo, Control, mackerel for you. The problem with this new system is that I can't make the buttons move anymore. They are more petite, but being able to push them nearly off the screen to read my e-mail was handy. If this function could be returned it would make me ever so happy.

Adam V. Pilon		11/Jan/2001:23:31:24
Okay.. Here's the deal.. I called IMAX today, and the lady couldn't give me any details on how long Jumping Lion would be there. Like any other corporate theater, they aren't given movie information until the Thursday before the next movie-week. I was thinking perhaps the weekend of the 21-22 would be good -- as since this movie is doing so well, I expect it should still be here. So, let's tentatively schedual some cool get together in Chicago that weekend. We can get a bunch to go and see the Kicking Kitty movie. Details to follow. As a good friend of mine, whose nomenclature is Wade, used to say: End of Line Adam Vincent Pilon
