Pete's Log: korn sucks! and other thoughts about life
Entry #459, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
I don't hold many grudges. In general, I'm rather forgiving and patient and stuff. But Korn has almost no chance of me ever liking them. It's been four years now since my nd.edu account got mailbombed. I managed to get unsubscribed from almost everything within a day. It wasn't a particularly good mailbombing... but one of the lists I was added to was a Korn mailing list. And I have been unable to get unsubscribed from that list. Part of the problem is I've had trouble figuring out which email address got subscribed to that list. The other part of the problem is that this mailing list is some kind of "mutating" list. From time to time I successfully unsubscribe from some Korn list, but then begin getting mail from some other Korn list. Today I got yet another message from Korn. This one, however, had an unsubscribe link with some sorta key value that uniquely identified which subscriber I was. I hit the link, and a webpage, after asking me to verify my decision, informed me it had unsubscribed me. Only time will tell if it worked. Stupid Korn. I will never enjoy a Korn song, simply because their mailing lists suck. Why did I get mailbombed? Good question. It dates back to my IRC days. For some reason I don't recall, I got banned from a channel, and much to the chagrin of the channel ops, I managed to bypass the ban several times. So they mailbombed me.
Today was a productive day in a non-cs kinda way. I got a visa payment into the mail, and I got some loan deferment forms turned in. The loan thing has been a low-priority thing that's been bugging for some time. I think I'm at a point where paperwork concerns are all taken care of, for now. Which means life is good, because I don't have those nagging worries in the back of my head.
I think tonight's schedule is grading 232 to a background of either monday night football or olympics.
