I heard from one of my co-workers who is a manager that checked the site last night. This is what she said:

TURK, JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I LIKE THE NEW LOOK. I REALLY LIKE THE BLACK BACK GROUND WITH WHITE.

So thanks for stopping. I’m glad you like the look.

Well the make over is coming along at a snails pace. I have so much to convert, I almost get sick thinking about it. With me being the lone gunman of the site it will be a slow process of redoing each and every page. A portion of the old layout is lost in limbo waiting for me to turn it into an archive page. If you have to see it try here. It’s the page with me and my friends little girl. If your looking for the Cute pictures.

No one has wrote in to Iggy yet. Maybe I’ll get Iggy to explain to everyone what kind of advice she can give.

I have threatened a new look for a while now. And well here we go! I have been working on this for a few days now. Other than that I haven’t really done dick with the website. The last time I wrote was on the 11th. You may or may not notice the change. I have used some graphics. Nothing to fancy. Don’t want to make load time any worse. I’m also not really keen on the use of graphics. I will be tweaking them for a while to come. I’m never happy with the artistic side of things.

Why change one might ask? Well I am one who hates change. I’m always slow to adapt to the change. But sometimes your hands are forced. My host recently upgraded their servers. Cool for me. I can use the FrontPage Extensions to do some things that make me look like I know what I’m doing. But with any change there are some bad to go along with the good. That goddamned pop up. If I keep my frames we are stuck with it. And I hate them pop ups when I go to a site, its just so annoying. So the frames are gone. The change over may take a while. So give me time.

It also should be noted that a lot of the inspiration for the change came from the the lovely gent who runs Blue’s News. Who is aptly named Blue. Blue recently did a revamp and he ditched the frames also. It’s a great site which covers mostly FPS. But you can get a lot from the place.

Two years. It doesn’t seem that long. Here is prerequisite links for everyone to go and check out before you read any further. First on this day two years ago I got fired because of this website. Read about it here. Then last year was the first year anniversary of that fateful day.

I decided I would use this day as a chance to thank all of my friends and family who have stuck through it with me even when I was at the bottom. Last year I did a big write up, this year I just don’t feel like it. You all know who you are. Thanks a bunch. Without you guys I don’t know where I would be sometimes.

Here’s Adrian who has something to say to Assface:

that no-name bastard! who does he think he is?! screw him. a person that can only cut you down with a lot of fancy words and saying the same thing over and over can only mean one of two things: either he’s having a bad social existence, or he’s a chronic masturbator! (Hint- quit masturbating) gotta go

Well Adrian is a wise lad so I can’t argue with him. Also Adrian is turning into a rabid fan. I will try to post more often than what I have. Sometimes I wait into some one signs the guestbook or until I have something worth saying.

Wow I step away from the computer for a couple of days and look what happens. I love when I get people who sign the GuestBook like this:

This site, like your insignificant existence, is fucking worthless. Maybe if you got up off your ass and did something with your life instead of showing the world how boring it is then maybe you would have meaningful relationships and not be destined for a lonely meaningless existence.

Of course the above was not signed, that’s what I would expect. So I’ll refer to this guy/gal as Assface. What can I say? In the past I would argue with Assface. Not today. In fact Assface is absolutely right. I will say I have heard a rant like this before. Nope I won’t comment. I’m not going to give Assface the satisfaction.

Ok I lied. Boring? What in the fuck do you want from me Assface? Last time I checked most people on this huge planet we call Earth have boring lives. Let’s take it apart piece by piece.

This site, like your insignificant existence, is fucking worthless.

Ok we have big words. Insignificant. Existence. Fucking. Being a guy who swears too much I probably shouldn’t comment. But what a first sentence Assface. It’s just full of intelligence.

Maybe if you got up off your ass and did something with your life

This one is used way to much. Who hasn’t heard this one before Assface?

instead of showing the world how boring it is then maybe you would have meaningful relationships

Boring? What would you have me do to be less boring? Maybe something radical would be less boring. Should I do go out and kill any drug dealers I know? Would that make my life less boring for you Assface? What exactly is a meaningful relationship to you Assface? I thought the relationships I have with friends and family to be meaningful. Not good enough for you Assface? Let’s not beat around the bush Assface. If your referring to the opposite sex then you got me. Single I am. Sorry if that offended you Assface.

and not be destined for a lonely meaningless existence.

“Destined for a lonely meaningless existence” that’s good Assface. I like that bit. It could be an epitaph for me if I was to die right now. So let’s cut to the chase. You know me don’t you Assface? And I think I know you Assface. It’s been my experience that the people who have to point out other peoples flaws are really the ones that need to look in the mirror.

I don’t think I have all the answers. So if this site bothers you Assface or you don’t like what I have wrote past, present, or future then I would have to guess maybe you shouldn’t come to this site. That’s one of the wonders of this country Assface we are all free to chose.

And Assface if I have offended you with what I have I have wrote I have only this to say to you Assface: I’m sorry for hurting your feelings Assface.

Also Barker checked in. She also works at the hotel at the frontdesk. And she is one of our better Front Desk Clerks.

I must say I am very impressed with this site. I like the death clock thing, and the pictures of you and the little lady. Rock on Turk

Shame on you Barker for not getting a @hotelblues.com e-mail address. Just kidding Barker.
