Who knew running the Smash Mouth Twitter account was a full-time job?

He can’t do anything about it. This is Tumblr.

In studio tonight at Hollow Earth Radio… 

Gang Wizard (Long Beach)

"Originally formed in 1996 as a ramshackle pop group, Gang Wizard quickly morphed into a collective (ranging in size from as few as 2 people to nearly a dozen) with ever rotating members focused around a few central players. Excluding the early pop group incarnation, Gang Wizard performs song-based improvisation influenced in particular by The Dead C. "19 years of hammering away at this resolutely-untamed approach have made Gang Wizard pretty sharp at imprecision… Guitar noise spits around as if shot from water guns; shards of hardcore punk and grumbling bass pass through like cars running a red light; and drums get so throroughly punched, slapped, and punctured, one wonders if the band believes kits have to be broken to work right." - Pitchfork

Bad news. A major vulnerability, known as “Heartbleed,” has been disclosed for the technology that powers encryption across the majority of the internet. That includes Tumblr.

We have no evidence of any breach and, like most networks, our team took immediate action to fix the issue.

But this...

[rockhost]

Big thanks to @Barrrf! Art makes me happy.

Took all summer, but our Shoutcast Reseller video is finally done.

Vine Is Fine

Are you guys doing Vine yet? Damn, it's fun. Imagine recording a six second animated gif with sound, time lapse, clips, whatever.

Sharing is easy too. Auto-post to Twitter or Facebook with the slide of a toggle. Embed through copy and paste into any web hosting account or blog, just like this. Find me, @rockhost.

Wicked Fiber Pre-Registration

Hey Larry(ville), Take your sweet time with this, no hurry. I don't know if you heard or not, but something kind of cool is happening to the Internet in Lawrence, KS. It's fiber. Google Fiber just launched in KC if that rings a bell. Anyway, Wicked Broadband (used to be LawFreeNet) is going to be offering 1 Gbps connections to residential homes. To compare, that's equal to the bandwidth size of my Shoutcast servers in the datacenter racks. Besides the obvious upgrades the pipe can hold live HDTV. Hell, I could probably even hook up the Linux boxes on my desk with a static IP. I want Wicked Fiber. Love, Me

P.S. How's that for kissing ass?

Uptime Server Monkey

Question (think Dwight Schrute's tone), why does ROCKHOST.COM no longer offer phone support? The answer is simple, because, well, you were driving us crazy! *rimshot ;^) Hey-O! "Is this thing on?" Seriously though, our troubleshooting skills are much more efficient without a mild case of cellular A.D.D. The turnaround of a support ticket is pleasantly surprising during business hours. See for yourself. Register a profile. Submit a ticket.

Uptime is everything. During off peak hours I sleep with an iPhone on my nightstand. Our global server monitors check multiple services (HTTP, Email, DNS, FTP, MySQL, Ping) every sixty seconds. In the event of an outage the device is beeping, squelching, and vibrating like a doctor's pager in the mid 1980s.

Morning, noon, or night...Rain, sleet, or snow...Come hell or high water, I'm your guy.

Desert Chili Recipe

The leaves are falling. Windshields are frosting. Fireplaces are burning. And the Kansas City Chiefs? Terrible! Yes, it's that wonderful time of year once again. When any football fanatic can pull his own weight in chili. Here's how me and the boys did it last weekend while Brady Quinn and Matt Cassel were too groggy from concussions to hand off the rock to my main man, "Jimmy" Jamaal Charles. WARNING: The bhut jolokia (ghost chili) is the hottest pepper on Earth. Any contact with the flesh or seeds may cause a serious burning sensation. Wash your hands after handling. Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 3 garlic cloves 1 yellow onion 1 bhut or naga jolokia 1 habanero 1 jalapeno 1 bay leaf 1 lb eye of round 2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes 1 30 oz jar tender cactus (nopalitos) 1 7 oz can chipotle adobo sauce 1 packet chili powder 2 cups frozen corn 1 14.5 oz can black beans 1 14.5 oz can chili beans Directions Heat olive oil. Finely mince garlic cloves, onion, and peppers. Saute. Add bay leaf. Cube eye of round. Toss steak to infuse capsaicin steam into the meat. Brown. Pour in tomatoes. Simmer thirty minutes. Drain cactus. Rinse beans. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook to desired consistency. Garnish with fresh chopped scallions. Eat. That's it. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. :-) Seriously though, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or dollop of sour cream can go a long way. Bon Appetit!

Coming Out Of The Closet

I eat meat, again. There, I said it. I was vegetarian for fifteen years. I may go back. I may not, but no thanks, average American, a-hole diet. I pass. The food is not food. More like science in a test tube. Closer to cancer in a chemistry set. Read the label. Look like a foreign language? Can't pro-noun-ci-ate the list of ingredients? Mmmmm...sounds delicious. COME ON! Cook in the kitchen, not a laboratory.

Oh, and 4th meal? Go fuck yourself. Rant over, the end.
