At the very least, we know Donald Knuth is safe. If anyone can save the world, if there's anyone greater than a bunch of gimps running around in pervert suits, it's the man who actually invented LaTeX (see, a pun).

Wow, Pepper Potts is a total cunt, isn't she? I bet if she'd been blond, she wouldn't have cared where the tech came from. Blonds are so much more tech-friendly than red heads. I love blonds. Movie!Pepper wasn't bad, but that's probably only because Gwyneth Paltrow is actually blond.

I've been thinking for a while about ditching my YouTube account, what with all the publicity about YT and Google and copyright suits. Getting the notice that there were some copyright claims on several of my videos from UMG in regard to music and that they were going to put ads up on those vids that used their music didn't help, but it didn't hurt, either, since they were still allowing the vids to be played.

Yesterday I uploaded Starbuck vs. the Pink Robots, which hadn't been put on YT previously because the original video quality was so crappy the first time I'd tried to load it that I took it down. I'd since improved the quality of the video file and uploaded it again to see if it was any better on YT, but it never showed up on my page. This morning, though, I got a notice that it has been blocked by NBC Universal because of copyright infringement on video content.

I uploaded my Tyrol vid, Shed Some Light, in mid-June with no problem. O_o

So what do you guys think? Should I leave up what's already there and just not try to upload anything else? Or should I just take down all the vids and bail on YouTube?

ETA: Here's the text of the email I received from YouTube:

Instead of writing a proper admin screen for a web site I've been working on for the last few months, I just use phpMyAdmin. I kind of feel like that's cheating, but phpMyAdmin does everything I'd need another system to do, and it's not like anyone but me is updating the site.

Okay, I know I've been pretty spammy today, but bear with me, okay?

1. I have recently become COMPLETELY ADDICTED to Facebook games. Is anyone playing Mob Wars that would like to be in my mob or invite me into theirs? I would ask about Dragon Wars too, but I can't seem to get ANYONE to show up as part of my alliance. *sighs* Or Knighthood! Anyone want to be a vassal? :)

2. You know, I'd sort of thought maybe I was over Dante's Cove. Or...not so much over it as perhaps less...incandescent with love. Yeah. Well. Then minotaurs directed me to the heretv forums where there are spoilers for season 4 and...OMG SO NOT OVER THIS SHOW. *facepalms* Anyway, I don't know the source and I can't guarantee their veracity in any form, but here's what there was, for anyone interested:

Chatting just now with prodigal, I just figured out a way to beat Grant Morrison's master plan in Final Crisis in under a minute. I am a super-villain, yo.

Showmasters have just announced Richard Dreyfuss for Collectormania 14.

Ok I'm going! Jamie Bamber is going to be there on Sunday, plus Callum Keith Rennie is replacing Michael Trucco. I'm convinced.

I've successfully completed my first gymnastics class. And I can now do a handstand. Some other things too.

Didn't feel as clumsy as I usually do. It was great.

I hurt badly.

Gift from China. :-)

...bad news, Michael Trucco's cancelled. They're now down to 2 guests after Aaron cancelled too, and although Bryan says he's working on somehow finding a replacement, it's 2 days before the con, the likelihood of finding someone available is slim I would think.

For now I'm not going to bother going, the 2 guests left don't interest me personally (sorry Kim and Rosie). I'll see if he does somehow find someone else, but if not, or if he gets someone I'm either not interested in or have met before, then I wont be going and I'll spend my weekend at home catching up on stuff here.

ETA: Callum Keith Rennie's been announced as a replacement, no idea how he managed that at short notice. Anyway, I'm not particularly a fan of his so I'll decide tomorrow if I'll go or not.

Here is your Official Announcment:

*cue fanfare*

THE ROOMMATE AND I ARE ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED.

This concludes your PSA.

Also, The Roommate (heretofore known as The Fiance) requests that you do not *ahem* "bother him with questions or stuff" about this. Your cooperation is appreciated.
