I have been playing around with a new program that allows you to use proxies to download as many rapidshare files as you want with out having to pay for it.  God I love freeware, basically it is a two part deal that finds proxies and then uses them to download the files for you, avoiding the free download bandwidth limits that rapidshare has.  After all why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.   As soon I can find the link for the software I will post it here.  And just for the hell of it a picture of my old but reliable laptop, named appropiately enough Naruto.

     Updates shortly, I finally have my desktop up an running again after  3 1/2 days, two recovery disks and several trips to microsoft's update site later.  I don't know exactly what happened to cause my computer to go tango uniform but I suspect it may have been accidently unplugged while installing automatic updates.  Anyway more interesting stuff to follow, oh and whoever works for gateway deserves a kick in the shins for putting the OS on one disk and the drivers on another GRRRRR!

    I'm not sure why I'm writing this tonight but here we go.  I have had more than enough of people on the left for crying censorship or opression whenever some one has the gaul to air an opposing view point.  What the fuck is wrong with you people?  You think your being opressed, hardly.  A young man in Tehran who is dragged out of his house for blogging about how thing really are is being opressed, the Russian reporter gunned down in the elevator of her apartment building is being opressed in the most brutal way, ditto the North Korean who is locked away in a gulag to slave away their years for being related to someone who noted that the troll doll seems to be doing fairly  in the body fat percentage department well for the leader of a famine riddled country.  The are opressed, their media is censored.  Remeber that the right to free speech is the right to offend, and that no matter what it does not give you the right to be heard!!!!  I am disgusted by people who use the so called fairness doctrine as an excuse to attack opposing viewpoints and their means of dissemination.  That is censorship, the government has no right nor power to controll what is said by anyone, since it is a right given to us by nature!  Rights derive from the very act of being human, no one can take them away.  The only limit that nay be placed upon speech is that which will bring physical harm to others.  This is the so called fire doctrine, any other form of speech is protected no matter how repugnant it may be.  In the end we all have the right to say whatever we wish, but we may also be ignored, but that is the peril of speaking.  Better to try to be heard than remain silent.

1 Nice.

Oh, and converting BMPs to JPGs should work now.  (The system now emails me when something causes a 500 error, so's I can fix it.)

     Hi, welcome to my first attempt at something resembling a blog.  I hope to use this space to pontificate about things I like, and things I don't.  Namely I want to share my love of anime, manga, fan fiction, classic cars, guns, right wing politics and whatever else should catch my eye.  As for the bit above, yes I am the Raging Tachikoma who publishes stories at FanFiction.net . Over the next couple of weeks I hope to add a fair bit of content here as time allows.  Until then welcome!
