Lookin’ good: Google has started a group service similar to YahooGroups which also allows you to read/subscribe to usenet groups such as affz. I wonder how much file-storage Google provides, seeing as how certain Y-groups are starting to lack storage space. (Update: you get seemingly infinite storage in the form of email-attachments apparently.)

Poll Two
Well that was telling, wasn’t it. Seems the majority of Z-fans who read KUR, are in the 30 to 40 range, closely followed by the 40+ contingent. Beyond/below that, online interest fades. But hey! We have a new poll for you. Check the polling box to the right…
Bye Bye Spam
Service Anouncement: as of now, my barry@killuglyradio.com email-address will no longer work. I’ve had to delete it because of the hideous amount of spam it was getting. For any and all inanities you wish to communicate, please use my gmail address which is listed at the bottom of this page. Thanks!
From Whenst Thou Comest
What website did you visit just prior to hitting KUR? Inquiring minds want to know. Just copy/paste that link in the comments (or make it a fancy clickable html link, if you’re up for it). May be the Jethro Tull homepage, may be an Aria Giovanni page, may be the ABBA Appreciation League HomePage. may be a Windows XP driver page. Let’s see it! (No google/excite/yahoo/whatHaveYou portal pages please)
ul#blogroll li { display: bugger off; }
I’m now managing all the link-lists to the right with my WP install (instead of BlogRolling). Since its creator has a bit of an obsession with cramming everything into html lists, I’m having a wonderful time beating these suckers into submission. So if things look a bit funky on the side, please do let me know…
Vandelay
When depressed about where this increasingly fucked up world is headed, follow these steps:
1) Purchase this.
2) Optionally purchase this.
3) Shake off nasty taste of consumerist behaviour.
4) Your mantra: “Whatever gets me through the night”.
5) Turn off computer.
6) No really. Turn off computer. Trust me.
7) Two words: Vandelay Industries.
8) Rejoice!
Broadband Optimizer
Freshly installed at Casa Barry: OS X Broadband Optimizer. Now I can burn up my bandwidth twice as fast!
What Is It Good For
Tip Of The Day
How to be an idiot, part one: when downloading a torrent from easytree, leave your computer on all night and wake up the next morning to an email of your provider saying you have no more bandwidth left.
Tax Man
It’s official: Belgian customs hate my guts. Having purchased a couple of books from Amazon, I once again have to pay up — 13.42 € this time, which is about half the price of my purchase. The kicker: some 8 € were charged for “administration costs”. Catch 22 anyone? Perhaps next time I should order at amazon UK. Oh, and yes: the Doctor is a big Groucho Marx fan! ;)
This morning, at KUR Headquarters
I demand an explanation!
Baby Snakes
Every so often I need a reminder of why I spend money on KUR. Every so often, I get the answer. Today’s answer was purchasing the Baby Snakes DVD. Two hours plus of sheer musical heaven — man I love this one (right down to the five year old Roxy DVD Yet To Come To Fruition Trailer, but I digress). Two questions though: is Roy Estrada’s hairdo real? And is that girl Angel-With-The-White-Painted-Face high on quaaludes or what?
Down Monster Road
Next Wednesday 13 the Doctor and I will be attending the annual Filmfestival of Ghent for a screening of “Monster Road” (the Bruce Bickford docu). Should you be looking for us, we’ll be the ones wearing the fake Groucho Marx eyebrow-moustache combo (widely available at various prank shops) yelling “Get lost, creep!”. Kidding.
Google Flatulence
What exactly is Google trying to tell me here?
gMail
Thanks to the powers that be, I now dispose of a gMail adress. Send mail to killuglyradio at gmail dot com. Weeeeee! God, I feel SO consumerist right now…
