What a day. First I go to 10 o'clock mass, then my mom makes a latent discovery that I have to serve noon mass, so I end up going to church twice. Later I get lost trying to find OfficeMax knowing only that it's somewhere in vicinity of Oakbrook Mall. Turns out it was across the street from the mall. Later my mom sends me to go shopping at Target and I arrive about 5 minutes before they close, because they close early on Sundays. Then I discover that the company that hosts the Key Club site for free is apparently a haven for spammers and illegal porn sites. This I discover after doing a little investigating of the security policies of our host after someone repeatedly spammed the I-I District reflector. I emailed a law firm in New Jersey a couple days ago where the first few attacks originated, but since then the same spammer has moved elsewhere. I still haven't emailed anyone in the District about it, our beloved tech chair (our beloved governor gave the job to some chum instead of me, so he inherits my wrath as well) has done nothing. The District reflector has about the dumbest security settings ever (open membership, anyone on the whole lousy Internet can post, and it's unmoderated) and apparently last year's tech chair is still the owner of the group. Our district website still sucks. I wonder if our beloved tech chair even knows HTML, or if he uses some stupid WYSIWYG editor like Frontpage. I hate HTML editors. They're like AOL. If you don't know HTML yourself, you shouldn't be allowed to make webpages. I mean, just look at what kind of crappy websites are out there because of those things, especially "Trellix Web." Yeah, that one Kyle used for the original WB Key Club site. Bah humbug!

School hasn't even been out a week and already I'm fed up with everything. I need a job, but I don't have a car, which limits my options, at least in my eyes. My mother seems to think that Yorktown is within reasonable walking distance. Maybe it is, but still. What I really want to do is go into the web reselling/design business. I never did ask Mrs. Marcyniuk what organization she was referring to when she said she had a customer for me. Argh! If I ever do get into the business, however, I've found a great company to partner with, with great prices and nothing but accolades from what I can find. It seems to be a single-man job. All of the people on the web host rating sites raved about some guy named Tim being great for support, and the president according to a WHOIS search turned up a guy named Timothy. Anyway, if I got into this business, I could set aside some space for Key Club, pro bono. Then we wouldn't have to worry about that stupid other company. And then there's all that summer homework.

I'm rambling, aren't I? I'd better get off the computer and go munch potato chips while watching a movie. Sounds like a plan. I love summer.

P.S. If you know some organization that needs a website/e-store built cheaply and with the best customer support in the history of business (namely, me), drop me a line using the link above. Even if I don't get a reseller account, I could set you up with somebody's hosting plan and maintain it for you. Ask anybody, I know what I'm doing. More than some namby-pamby guy from Streator who doesn't know what the heck's going on the District reflector and probably doesn't care because the stupid thing's never used but nobody ever bothered to take it down cause they're all a bunch of lazy, slipshod...

I'm ranting again. I'd better go watch that movie.
