Sorry about that

I'm not going to complain, only going to apologize. I've had sections of things I had written deleted before, and I thought that it was okay, thank you for being understanding in the matter. --– Preceding unsigned comment added by Aquamantor (talk • contribs)

No problem, I apologize if I sounded a bit rough. I'm fixing computers all day, helping people spell and grammar check articles, and helping out my wife and son study for their schools (my wife is going for an RN in college, my son is in grade school), and things kind of start to get to me after a while. Also remember to sign your comments with four tildes ~~~~ so others will know who you are. I used the unsigned template for you there, so people can see who you are. My big problem is blanking, I don't mind if my section I wrote is rewritten so it is funnier but mass blanking of sections and articles get on my nerves as they are vandalizing articles and not editing them. I am one of the people on patrol of many articles that get vandalized a lot, while I am not an admin (yet) I still can revert blankings and vandalizing of articles and sections. But you are new, so I cut you a break. I wish you the best of luck in your articles. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 22:51, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I helped you out a bit

Hi. Good start on that article-I was going to write one too! You beat me to the punch! Ha! I just helped your article out a little if that's okay. You rock!

Just to let you know

I justed added the stuff you were saying into the Hillary page. Please let me know if you like it. Warmonkey 18:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I like it, thanks for adding those things in. They are funnier that way. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 20:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

You tried to reason with them. It was a funny mistake. To be fair, I've noticed you do bring some quality conservative humour to counteract Uncyclopedia's often liberal tendencies. But really... have you seen the rest of that site? The Uncyclopedia entry here is pretty damn accurate (also probably why they'd never forgive). These really aren't conservaties as you know them, believe me. Nothing in the world, no number of counterexamples to their claims could dissuade them from the notion that they alone stand to face the vicious, omnipresent liberal scurge infecting our otherwise divine world. 76.10.152.238 04:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Well I figure it is better to try to reason with them, than doing nothing about it. Making fun of liberals is just as much fair game here on Uncyclopedia as making fun of conservatives. To be honest most of the people from Conservapedia don't seem to have much of a sense of humor, or take offense at the use of language here on Uncyclopedia includes swear words at times. Someone has to bring balance to Uncyclopedia, might as well be me, as I try to treat everyone equally, be they liberals or conservatives, whatever. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 05:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It's like I said in the forums, OB, you can't reason with the unreasonable. The trick is to just rise above it. S'why I'm politically apathetic. You'd be surprised how hilariously ludicrous a political debate is when you just don't care. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 05:15, Feb 18

Their repeated mentions of "viciously liberal", "vicious liberal", "vilious liberace" amuse me. Especially that last one, that I made up. I do that, sometimes. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Most of the content that they claim is viciously liberal has been made by Anonymous IPs and vandals, like the Jerry Falwell article that got voted for deletion. I tried to say we have the VFD here and rules on what is funny and what is not funny and a lot of the vicious stuff gets deleted eventually. I even tried to show them examples of articles that made fun of liberals, and they just said something about liberal logic ruling out counter examples. It is funny that they claim to only report the truth, but completely ignore articles I cited, about a dozen of them or so, to at least use as examples that not every article here makes fun of conservatives. Also I tried that don't take it seriously it is a humor wiki, but I think they ignored that as well. Vilious liberace sounds funny. I think you should add that to the Conservapedia article here. It is almost as good as Hate Hate Hat. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 22:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for info

Thanks again for your ideas on my semi-professional endeavors. My fondest dream envisions the guys who actually know how to run the industrial machinery typing their individual knowledge into a Wiki or into HTML documents, and then getting that priceless knowledge organized into a menu-driven document pool. It's not so much about generating reports from a database as incorporating human experience into an electronic form which can preserve the institutional memory of how to run the damned plant. There are consultants who have quoted us prices as high as $300,000 to construct an operation-and-maintenance package with all the bells and whistles and marmots and frosting. Needless to say that is beyond the budget for our modest industrial installation. It may be that I will set up a Wiki for the guys to use, and when an article on, say, polymer pumping and blending reaches maturity I will convert the Wiki article to plain HTML and add it to the O&M pool of documents.

The real work will be getting the prose written. The framework is what I can do; the actual content creation depends critically on those who know the real-world tricks of how to do the work. Right now I'm operating on the faith-driven hope that if I create the framework then the content will get created. And a Wiki -- being all user-friendly and collaborative and all -- might be a way to facilitate the content creation. Or not. It's not like the guys twisting the control knobs are all contributors to Uncyc or anything.

Thanks again, though. ----OEJ 06:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I majored in Computer Science and Information Systems. I worked jobs where I built web applications out of ASP and Crystal Reports to do something like what you were doing. I even wrote Visual BASIC programs and converted from MS-Access to SQL Server databases. Do you by any chance use PLCs in industrial machinery? I was reading up on those as well to help out a brother-in-law of mine who uses them. Anyway I tried to implement Wiki software before at past jobs but I seemed to be the only one who wanted to use it. I ended up writing ASP pages instead to do the same things as a Wiki. A lot of Intranet applications got written that way. Anyway I got sick and was forced on disability and had to quit. But I still read up on the technologies. Just to keep my skills updated in case I get well enough to go back to work some day. I went back to college to learn Business Management and I graduated with honors. So I know how to work the computer and business end of most programs now. Good luck. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

"Do you by any chance use PLCs in industrial machinery?" Quite a few, yes, but the main control is a Yokogawa distributed control system. In nearly all cases the PLCs are slaved to the Yokogawa field control stations. These are essentially single-purpose computers with cards to interface both to slaved PLCs and to analog inputs like old-fashioned 4-20 milliamp signals. One aspect of my work is programming the operational routines in the Yokogawa control system builders. The builders are a mix of visual-style and scripting-style programming environments. From a pure programming perspective the scripting languages are primitive; from a control-and-monitoring perspective they have some nifty features. So it goes. ----OEJ 20:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

So I guess you program them in RLL relay ladder logic? It is a primitive language much like assembly language but it was designed for electricians to use to control coils and relays. Yes it can get complex and needs a lot of documentation. Automation Direct is a company I studied up on, they have a visual-style and scripting-style programming environment as well called Directsoft. You can read the FAQ here. They use a Windows PC to slave the PLCs, but I heard they were getting into Linux as well. I hadn't heard of Yokogawa yet, but I just found them based on your comment. It sounds like a big project, I wish you the best of luck on it. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 21:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Articles are no places for videos?

There is no written rule that says articles are no places for videos. They work well in userspace and on forum topics, but videos, in my opinion, particularily from youtube, destroy the article's "formatting feung shuei", if you would want to call it that. I do not like videos in the articles I have written - it gives a touch that makes me feel like I am more on Encyclopedia Dramatica or some social networking site rather than something closer to a Wikipedia of humor. ~

Ok all I wanted was a reasonable explanation why videos weren't allowed in the Ron Paul article. Would you object if I included the video as a link, and not an embedded Youtube tag? That way there won't be a video frame to mess up the feung shuei. I really don't want to get into an edit war. I just don't like seeing blanking, in any article, it is one of my pet peeves. I would rather that material be replaced with funnier material than just see blankings with nothing left to replace it. Deal or no deal? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 01:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

That's fine. I was going to add another section around there, but I didn't think it was sufficiently funny to save. ~

Hea

Looks like that is sorted out now... Maybe you need to change the name of the article now? I'm not sure, your call I guess... Also, would you please try to avoid removing comments which you make on VFD like this... It's really not something which we want to see happening (for whatever reason) and if the less experienced users start seeing the old guys (like ya) removing stuff then they will start thinking it's OK for them to do so as well... Cheers. MrN 20:43, Jul 6

If you want to retract a comment, cross it out... :-) MrN 20:45, Jul 6

Sorry I placed the comment in the wrong spot and it messed up the formatting. Striking it out would still mess up the formatting. Edit conflicts tend to do that. You should be able to see it was a dupe of another comment here I am not sure how the dupe happened all I was trying to do was move the comment up, and somehow it created a dupe copy. Did you want me to leave the dupe there and strike it out? How do I change the name of the article? Just rename it? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 20:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Ah, sorry I had not noticed that it was a dupe, or whatever it was... You get the idea though. Na, don't bother putting it back now. No point. I will archive the vote soon anyway. I think the formatting problem you had could have been fixed by using :***** or whatever... To re-name it, you will have to use the move button. When you do, don't forget to re-link the un-news template to your new name. You probably want to delete the redirect the move creates also. Cheers. MrN 21:00, Jul 6

Well I could delete the redirect link, but it seems people are already linking to it from the web and it would break their link. I think other articles link to it as well and I'd have to change them. Things happen fast and I did not think that I would have to rename the article or move it. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 21:06, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Can ya help me out?

Why was the Pirates page locked?Sean the wiry, bony, and thin 19:43, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I think it is because anonymous users were writing stupid stuff and calling pirates gay and other mean stuff, the usual page blanking and vandalizing. Since you are a registered user like me, you can edit the page, but it will give you a message that the page is locked so unregistered users cannot edit it. Please feel free to edit it and add in something funny. My wife's uncle has lung cancer and I leave with my family to go see him in another state Monday the 28th. I'll be busy for a few days up to a week with family issues, otherwise I'd help you out more. I am also in a modern pirate Yahoo group talking about surviving the collapse of western civilization, which should be coming up in 2012 - 2017 give or take a few years or so. Did you know that I am a real pirate? Modern pirates are quite different from classical pirates. But I write in the pirates article from experience. You can follow their blog here and listen to pirate radio here for more info. I added their links to the pirate page as examples of modern pirates. Quite interesting, and also funny at times. Pirates almost always have a sense of humor. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 00:39, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

"Liberals seem to hate her greatly" section

I just didn't think it flowed with article, it looked like something a 15 year old republican would have posted on the Internet Movie Database. I'm probably missing the point, though.--Mrasdfghjkl 12:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually I took "smears" about her from what actually liberals had said and tried to make them sound funny. I guess it didn't work out? I am new at trying to make biased remarks that sound funny. If you can, please tell me how you would have wrote it so it was funny, and it would help me out. What would you suggest I write? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 13:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I may have to get back to ya. It's a bit late here in Australia.--Mrasdfghjkl 13:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Take your time. I wrote in the style of Al Franken when he did the McCain spoof on Saturday Night Live of McCain's people writing political ads of things Liberals said about McCain/Palin. It was a hit on SNL on NBC, but maybe in Australia you didn't see it and thus didn't get the joke. Franken wrote it to be funny and mock the Conservatives like McCain and Palin, and so was my intent. Maybe you are a Palin fan and didn't like the conservatives being mocked that way as a 15 year old ranter using satire? I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, I tried to be funny. The "Hockey Moms for the Truth" was an SNL type satire as well. SNL isn't as funny as it used to be, so I'll grant you that it might not have been that funny. It was actually more of a Stephen Colbert type spin, to make it different and maybe you don't watch his show either? American humor doesn't seem to do so well in the rest of the world. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 13:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

The SNL thing was pretty good with it's use of screwed up Ad hominem arguments, but I think it was funny because it was over the top. I mean, political ads usually resort to Ad hominem attacks anyway, so in order to make fun of them you may need to take it to another level, and perhaps try to structure it like the other paragraphs in the article. Sorry for being out of line here lol.--Mrasdfghjkl 08:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

No problem, as long as it didn't drag on to a very long and pointless flamewar. But I did recycle the section into this UnNews story as part of the Conservapedia Week we got Conservation week confused for. PrettiestPretty wants to rewrite the Sarah Palin article because Anonymous IPs keep ruining it, we may have to split it up into two or three different articles. Nothing you or I did, we wrote funny stuff just didn't flow together too well, I guess? But anyway, you did good things, and we can work together to make a funnier article than the anonymous IPs can. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 14:28, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

fair enough.--Mrasdfghjkl 03:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I'd rather be funny than fight, I guess that makes me a humor pacifist. :) --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 03:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
