One of the activities I’d like to do for the Playwicki camporee involves kids splicing with pool noodles. Pool noodles are apparently damn expensive out of season at 3 to 5 bucks a pop so I thought I could buy in bulk. I checked Amazon and found a large bundle for $99.00. It didn’t actually give a quantity just that it was “15 lbs of pool noodles”. Pool noodles aren’t goods I typically buy by the pound as this is like purchasing cups of rope or a slices of cheese in nanohectares. So, if anyone has any pool noodles, I’d like to know their weight.

Email Censoring
I sent a missive to Tom Leitz, Nick Grammiccioni and Joe Naylor yesterday regarding using PDFs on the OSR site. I hate the utter and total flatness of PDFs and how annoying it is to make them every time a minute change is made but no matter. The email was bounced back from Tom who uses a bsamail.org account and the reply said that the message contained “potentially offensive language”. I checked through the message and realized I’d used the word “bitch”. As a test, I sent Tom another message consisting simply of “Carol Moyer is a bitch”, which he got. So either bitch isn’t offensive or the mail system knows Carol Moyer.

Leader Guide Saves!
CIS 1055 requires us to create a cross linked site for an organization in which we participate. Suddenly the Ockanickon Leader Guide that I’ve slaved over for nigh on two months is useful. I added some stupid functionality like an image map and a few other things and one thing was the addition of a midi that starts when you click on something in this case Scout Vespers plays when you click the map itself. This was ultimately my undoing as the instructor thought I mislabeled the MIDI file as “Oh, Christmastree” instead of “Scout Vespers”. For both the non-Boy Scouts that read this, Scout Vespers is the same tune as “Oh, Christmastree”.

OSR Webpage Usage
I integrated google analytics into the OSR page to see where people were going and hopefully create better navigation tools. I looked at the map showing usage patterns by locations and found this:
A near perfect T. Middle America (both horizontally and largely vertically) hates us.

Server Exploits
Through some miracle of programming our rogue server is now up and we quickly started arguing over things like what kind of sprays would be available and so on. One item was dealing with decals which are modifications to what the game map looks like. One guy wanted the open area to be done a la a football statement another wanted many pictures of boobies. So we set up a rotation. M/Th/Sun the posters will be NFL themed, T/Sat the posters will feature naked ladies and Weds/Fri the naked ladies will instead be Son of Man and Golconda by Rene Magritte.
Awkward Advertising, Part 2
