Search Engine with a Big Mouth and Matching Booty

MS. DEWEY
http://www.MsDewey.com
Meet the world’s more sarcastic bitch of a search engine. Technologically, she is a step up from Jeeves, but she is a bit more witty and insulting. This is a search engine for the thick skinned, or anyone willing to learn what searches are safe with his drama queen.
Some of my favorite searches to get a personality profile of Ms. Dewey (Ms. Thang) are:
1. Gangster (bitch)
2. Gangsta (insightful)
3. Fetish (creepy)
4. Beer (funny)
5. Viagra (super villan)
6. Spam (tortureous)
7. Masturbation (bitch)
8. Ms. Dewey (disfunctional)
9. books (random)
10. depression (evil)
11. suicide (humor/disturbed)
12. strip (creepy)
13. country (really bad impressions)
14. big bang (overly sexual)
15. clone (MPD)
As a gay male, I find many of this slut’s perversions to be a bit distasteful.

Reinventing the Wheel… Again

Is anyone shocked that this post is not about ceramics?
I am straining my brain working on GITI v2 AND GITI SiteEngine’s permissions systems. I feel like this is a system that has been done to death in the form of NTFS, .htaccess, Passport, LDAP, etc, etc; but yet, it is essential that I write this from the current point of GITI authentication in order to allow SiteEngine and GITI to both work properly when they are introduced to more users. This is less important for GITI, as I am about its only user, but with the places im putting SiteEngine and the ways it will be used, it is becoming more important that it be able to authenticate users and that their realms/perms be respected. Some time ago I decided that GITI and SiteEngine would operate on separate, but equal authentication realms. GITI and SiteEngine users can authenticate to SiteEngine (the subordinate product), while only GITI users can authenticate to GITI herself (controller of all that is technological or intellectual). These permissions tables and their rules have been understood for some time, but at first I started assigning roles (much like those used for Microsoft SharePoint Services), giving no thought to user-level microcosm control. In a way I am no closer to that now than I was before I started this endevour, but then again, maybe I am? Currently I am working on the concept of feeds (since thats what the new site will need to understand for access control). The concept for control is that no user can add themselves to a non-public feed, and all users will be assigned to the private feeds they are allowed to access, however, they will be able to turn them on and off at will.
Maybe I should sleep before I start having nightmares about the code i’ve written and the database tables i’ve created.

Potter vs. Programmer

If I am so attached to my mud, why is it that I’m sitting here at 0600 writing an INNER JOIN statement for retrieving Feed permissions?

Looking for a Good Domain

I am currently working on modifying my personal website (http://curtis.kularski.net) and have decided that my current domain (curtis.kularski.net) is too linked to its upper level domain (kularski.net). I want more freedom from this. Do any of my readers have any suggestions?
If someone can come up with a domain that I like enough to use, the winning suggestion will win their choice of handmade ceramic bowl (or the option for a custom bowl). The rules are simple, I need a domain that reflects who I am. It shouldn’t be too long, but it must be available in the global DNS (you can use http://www.whois.sc to confirm).

The Two Most Requested Images

The two most downloaded images from my blog are the following:

Homosexuals long bread

I don’t get it. I understand the pic of the guys kissing (sort of), but whats with the freaks who are posting the pic of the baguette to their profiles? Today when I started my log excavation project (curiosity&&boredom driven), I started to get pissed at the number of people who link to these images instead of downloading them and using them on their own space, but then I remembered that not everyone has the resources I do for such things, as well as got a chuckle out of the number of people who are that interested in images that I’ve used in past blog posts. None of the other images I have ever used on the blog come close to the numbers of hits that these pics get on a daily basis from MySpace and various forums.

Where have all the humans gone?

I was just having a merry little stroll through my HTTP server’s log files, checking up on varying websites I have. I found an interesting, but yet disturbing trend. The most recent visitors (over the past several hours) have all been robots! Not a single human among them! All of the users are either GoogleBot, Yahoo SLURP bot, MSNbot or MSN Media Bot. Whats up with this? Oh, and I got happy for a second when I saw an IP address I thought was human, only to discover that it was just an automated process getting a copy of my most recently blog entries (supposedly for the reading of its human though).

Ceramics: The Final Frontier


Today I embarked on one of my last truly “new” objectives in ceramics, sculpture. Part of the ceramics curriculum for this semester is wheel thrown sculptural forms. I have never done anything for the sake of sculpture, I have always done functional forms. The assignment is a series of 6 serial sculptures, of at least 12 inches in height, showing a progression or consistent changing theme. I have chosen to do a series of sculptural pieces that reflect my resistance to sculpture, as well as my transition to accepting it. The first and middle (i think) pieces were finished today. The forms are fairly refined for the first piece, appearing as a pile of wheel thrown forms, with very little manipulation. The middle piece (the only other one i did today) is similar in its keeping to good form, but is a little more loose with some wheel modifications (dragging to create warping, etc).
The form is roughly specified now as (bottom to top):
Large Bowl
Large Cylinder
Small Bowl (inverted)
Medium Bowl
Small Cylinder
Medium Sphere
Small Sphere
