I want to wish everyone a happy holiday today. I’m at the Izer’s having supper. I still have to go to my Grandma’s to eat, also. Enjoy this day whether it’s a holiday or not for you.

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.

Ok so I have been sitting on my duff. Assface took the wind out of my sales. So of you may ask what I have been doing? Not much would be the answer. I have been playing Space Empires IV and Generations more than humanly possible. Anyhoo.

Iggy stopped by again, this time commenting on the Assface situation. It should be said that I’m not certain I even know Assface. So Iggy’s comments are based on an assumption of mine that this Assface is Sergei. And that is a long story. Whew!

Just dropped in to say HI! Where is the Dear Iggy Column? LOL hehe HEY Concerning ASSFACE.. I want to personally thank him for the beautiful poinsettia that I got from PAPA JOHNS for being one of their top 200 customers! Woo Hoo! NOW Assface, I have to tell ya, you have definitely made the move buddy to Bigger and Better things.. Poinsettia.. wow…Pizza delivery. wow.. So if you are still working there (I bet not, only BORING people know how to keep jobs) and the next time you come to my house, I will make sure to give you that extra .25 for a job well done in my sincerest appreciation for the Poinsettia! Psst.. hey I hear that Pizza Hut is moving up in the world. You ought to give them a try.. I wonder if they will send you to my house with a poinsettia too? hahahahaha

Ok So here’s the official announcement. Iggy is going to do an advice column. So if anyone feels like asking Iggy for advice send you questions or comments to iggy@hotelblues.com. It’s all up to you now Iggy.

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.
