Oops, Well Not Really


Oops, Well Not Really


I am so used to buying Certificates from a CA that I am used to them lasting a year. Just got an email from EncryptIt Telling me that my Certificate was about to expire, and warning that they will no longer be sending warning messages anymore. I have a cron job set to renew the cert though it was set to renew once a year. 😀 My bad. I renewed the cert and updated the cron job so it will automatically update for now on. Disaster averted! 😀

Speaking of the SABC, I previously boosted a post by fanbot that Channel Africa was on 13.780 MHz; I was told subsequently that Channel Africa no longer exists, so I now have my doubts about HF Underground being authoritative. Til now I always thought it was. Perhaps it's best if it sticks to its pirate radio knitting.

Usually the first meal of a Monarch hatchling is his eggshell. His second meal is any other egg nearby, if there is one, and when a gravid female does an egg dump in her last days of life, it'll happen.

Of course not! Those were top acting names and those names made the characters their own so much nobody could follow those acts.

Picture it--1940s and a guy at the bar is arguing with the barkeep to not bounce him.
It's late and he's scared of going home to his wife. Also planning on what he's going to tell her.

In walked a blonde and, dear, she asked me to dance
I told that blonde that there wasn't a chance
I love my kids and my beautiful wife
That's the honest truth, dear, and I swear by my life!

There's things I am sweetheart, and things that I ain't
'cause I'm a man and a man is no saint
Won't you forgive 'cause I'm tellin' you true
I was in the tavern only thinkin' of you
Just singin':

Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late!

Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime
Did I kiss all the cowboys?
Did I shoot out the lights?
Did I dance on the bar
Did I cause any fights?

Ordering up Cocktails For Two

in reply to Radio Free Trumpistan

#BartenderASongOrPoem

In some secluded rendezvous
That overlooks the avenue,
With someone sharing a delightful chat
Of this and that and cocktails for two.

As we enjoy a cigarette
In some exquisite chansonnette,
Two hands are sure to slyly meet beneath
A serviette with cocktails for two.

My head may go reeling, but my heart will be obedient,
With intoxicating kisses for the principal ingredient.

Most any afternoon at five
We’ll be so glad we’re both alive.
Then maybe fortune will complete her plan
That all began with cocktails for two.

In heaven, there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And when we're gone from here
All our friends will be drinking all the beer.

Oh MAN how much this has Country Music written all over it!!! #NoEffort
No effin effort whatsoever!

There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With these rednecks, white socks and blue ribbon beer!

A handbag belonging to the homeland #security secy #KristiNoem containing her passport, dept security badge & $3,000 in cash was stolen on Sunday night at a restaurant in Washington. [zero irony]

Noem confirmed the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday morning.

DHS did not give specifics, but said it could confirm the details of a CNN article, which said that Noem’s bag also contained her driver’s license, medication, apartment keys & blank checks.

Instance Down


in reply to Radio Free Trumpistan

@Radio Free Trumpistan

I doubt you had anything to do with either outage. The first time it was MariaDB that went down and that has never happened due to hashtaggames, that was PHP-FPM. The second time it was PHP-FPM that went down and there was no activity on the site when it happened so I am looking into it. I posted right before I went to sleep, after writing the script so I am just getting up. 😉

Good to know--and I can't say enough about how much I appreciate all the work you put into it. ❤
