The 12th War

Overview

You will be given the name of someone in the war that you must eliminate by getting them wet. You may get him/her wet by any, non harmful, means you choose – squirt gun, water balloon, hose, cup of water, etc. Elimination means that you are out of the game. When you eliminate your target, he/she must give you the name of his/her target and that person becomes your next target. When you eliminate your target, you will get credit for all of that person’s eliminations. At the Ward Party on August 23rd, a prize will be given for the last player standing or the player with the most eliminations if not all players are eliminated. The game will start on August 4th at 12:00 AM and end August 23rd at 12:00 AM.

Rules of the game

1) You cannot eliminate your target on Sunday.

3) You cannot eliminate your target in any church building.

4) You cannot eliminate your target at any church sponsored activity nor on the way to or from the activity.

5) You cannot eliminate your target while the person is at work or at school. (Please don’t soak your target right before work or school.)

6) You cannot eliminate your target in his/her house or garage.

7) If there is a questionable elimination Russ J is the judge.

Please report eliminations to Russ J, russ@staceyshouse.com or 774-8271, within 24 hours of the deed.

Pure Nerd

Here are my results from The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test. Yes, apparently I am a Pure Nerd. Why else would I have a Tech blog. Click on the link below to find out how you rate.

Pure Nerd

73 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 39% Dork

For The Record:A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the “dork.” No-longer. Being smart isn’t as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!

Cheap Web Hosting

Now here is a real geek thing to do. So my Mom has this web site that that I have been helping her with but the hosting service that she signed up for is charging her an arm and a leg for the webspace and they provide very little in the way of configuration tools and service. So, what do I do? Of course I go out and sign up as a webspace reseller and buy web space in bulk. So let’s think about this, my mom’s site needs about 2 megs of web space and a database. So, of course, I buy 10GB of web space. Now, I’m not going to charge my mom for all of that web space. I have a plan.

I will sell the extra web space for cheap. That’s right, if you want cheap web space with all the configuration tools you can stand, this is the place to get it. $5 per 100MB (1GB bandwidth) per year. This includes apache, php, mysql, perl, cpanel, 100 email addresses, and more running an a linux server.
