That is all.
(Sorry about the stock photo. I’ll wait and see if any I can get any pictures of the party.)
Tomorrow is my birthday. For those of you who know me, you may know that my birthday means very little to me. But this year it seems to be a bigger deal. I do not know what it is, but more people are taking an interest in it. I’m getting taken out to lunch.. to dinner..
But I guess that is really not the point, what other people think. I guess it just made it that more poignant. I’m ready for things to start happening. I’m ready to see changes made that I caused to happen, or to be a part of. This desire is in part because I want to be a part of it. But also just because I want to see something good happen.
Even among the readers of Uncouth, the views on life and death are varied. But, I believe quite simply that whether there IS something, there IS nothing, or just void… that we still have a life to live and suffering to beat.
I have a lot of plans. I’m going to keep you up to date more as I move from just school and work into making a difference.
Isaac.
Notes:
As an aside, I was finally able to get back into the page administration. It has been a while because I made some changes to the server and somehow it broke all of the administration code.. not the regular code, just the administration. Anyways, I’ll be going through the past submitted articles and pushing them out. In addition, no more of this infrequent update crap.
Much love to everyone who has stuck it through.
*CHANGELOG:
- Reordered the main page article listing to the last 7 posted articles individually.
- Completely removed the news module.
- Added a “news” category.
- Alphabatized all category listing and pull down menus.
- Added the last 30 posted comments to the “Forums” section.
*TODO:
- Enhance comment / forum system
- Enhance front page look
- Add news module ability to article submission, instead of seperate module
…
There’s more than just that comin’ folks, so stay tuned!

Wow. Well, there is a LOT of stuff in the pipeline from readers.. this rocks!
It’s been busy, busy, busy times at work, I’m afraid, and I have been really sick. In fact, I just went to the doctor’s again today, the second day in a row. Still no sign of “fixed” in the future, so we shall see.
Anyhoo, when I actually get some time to sit down and write, I’ve got some good stuff for you. And the work sitting in the pipeline here rocks…
Thanks for sticking in and thanks for still reading!
Isaac.
Allright, this week I’m teaming up with some friends of mine to put some more work into the logistics and look of Uncouth. I will be, I think, making my own forum-type application rather than going with my ever loved phpBB just because I want to keep the user interface the same and not have to need two sets of logins.
While we are working on this, I may post some articles that are more forum-esque in that they are more like “What do you think/discuss/etc” type pieces.
What I would REALLY like, though, is some feedback. Please tell me your thoughts on the site.. what you like (so I don’t take it away)… what you don’t like (so I CAN take it away)… what you would like to see (so I can add it).. and the like..
Thanks!
Isaac
So, I spent all day vomiting yesterday.
What reall sucks about this is that I also threw up in the corner of my room. And… it smells putrid. My dear friend brought his steam cleaner over and I go to try to clean it up, but because it was in the corner it’s been a complete pain in the arse. I think I’m going to try to get a professional clean-up-vomit-in-the-corner company to come clean it up. I hope that doesn’t cost too much.
Anyways, enough of my vomit. I have recently been introduced to two wonderful shows that I think I’m the last person in the world know about: Red Dwarf and Twin Peaks. I’m sure most people out there are scoffing at me for one or both of those.. whether in a good way or a bad way, I don’t care. You -must- get your hands on the tapes of these shows and watch them. I have been seriously so inspired by these that I may take my hand at writing something up for a TV series. I have high doubts of doing anything with it, but it would be a grand ole experience.
As I was sitting here trying to hold my solid food down and not feel like my intestines were trying to crawl their way out of my abdomen, I really am saddened, again, by the state of art and creation in America today. I watch something like Twin Peaks or Red Dwarf and I am amazed at how wonderful it is… but it is because they did not hold back. Both of those shows took risks and had neat, interesting, and while cooky and crazy, -real- characters. Even Agent Cooper.
Why do we allow art to be forsaken for consumption?
Allright!
http://www.uncouth.net has made the move the new servers. What does this mean? The key to this is that we are no longer sharing the server and the load time will be faaaaaaaaast.
This also means I will work be working on Uncouth again. Fixing the code getting it all nifty and up to speed.
And writing again, too.
Look forward to getting this thing back up and running again.
Thanks for sticking in!
Isaac.
Well, let’s try this again.
Here is a list of some of things I’ve been doing:
- Working on helping develope the new The Infidelguy website, which is still in the works.
- Re-entraced with my Religious studies. I will began adding either to Uncouth or on a seperate site the begining’s of my religion database.
- Lots and LOTS of work :}
- Begining work on a comic with the Ryan’s. They’re almost kind of like the John’s…except not at all. (Bonus cookie’s if you know what the hell I’m talking about).
- Continueing work (and trying to get the website stable) for my game.
That’s just a smidge. School has really taken over as a priority again and most of my spare time has been studying and learning, especially on the influence on Judeo-Christianity from both mesopatamian and greco-roman influences. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
However, I will begin to update the site again with my own ramblines. I’ll clean the rant pages up a little and hopefully you will, as well.
Isaac.
Just a quick and dirty update.
I know we’ve been quiet for a while. I’ve been getting some things in order and tiring of the slowness of the site. We should be on an upswing for speed and hopefully content will pick up.
I have not put anymore work into the rant pages, as they did not seem to spark at all. Perhaps some more work will make it spark, but it is pretty damn disheartening anyways.
More to come.

Well, after much hoopla and lots of promises, I have put up the working design for the Rant Pages. Everything is still VERY simple, but feel free to start using them! Email me any bugs, improvements, or just general thoughts. Go ahead and give out your rant page to your friends, families, and enemies! USE IT! Use your voice!
To see an example of a rant page, check out:

Yaaay!
