    shhhhhhhhhhhh just breaking the site again don't mind me

    very, very, very experimental fic continues its slow progress as the deadline for bicyclette's sci-fi contest draws near. these chapters are about on-par with what if in terms of length, but oh boy have they been an interesting experience to write.

    hey hey btw i've got a (couple of) public minecraft server(s)!

    yeah so anyway here is my webbed site lol. there's an MC Classic server for building whatever, and an MC Beta 1.7.3 server for playing survival. I might eventually also put up a modern vanilla server as well, though given how I'm hosting a bunch of servers already for friends and a couple of discord servers, idk if the little slab of a PC I'm using to host 'em all would be able to manage lol.

    summer break is almost here :V

    basically got one week left lol. got an experimental fic in the works that's a sort-of direct sequel picking off right where Splintershard ended. no prior reading is necessary.

    MAN it's been a while since I've toyed with writing styles.

Random Facts #6 · 9:29pm Feb 7th, 2017

Yahoo was recently bought by Verizon.

Google once offered to be bought by Yahoo.

Its actually relatively common to find valuable items being sold for dirt cheap in thrift stores. That's how I get my computer parts.

Yahoo should buy everything and take over the internet. Muahahahaha.

Every day, 16% of the searches that occur are ones that Google has never seen before.

Google was originally called "Backrub".

Google has found GPA's and test scores to be "worthless as criteria for hiring"; they have teams where 14% of their employees haven't gone to college.

"Yahoo" had been trademarked for barbecue sauce, knives (by EBSCO Industries) and human propelled watercraft (by Old Town Canoe Co.). This was the reason for the exclamation mark to the name. Yahoo !

As of October 2009, Yahoo! has acquired 58 companies. 47 of these acquired companies are from the United States, and 8 are based in a foreign country.

On November 30, 2008, Microsoft offered to buy Yahoo!'s search business for $20 billion.

I couldn't find any facts about Thrift shops/ stores... sorry :twilightsheepish:

4413227 It's fine. All I care about when it comes to them is that they have no mind for what's worth $15 and what's worth $100.

High end overclocking-ready motherboard that I'm currently using in my gaming PC: $15

Torn couch that was likely owned by a crazy cat person: $250

Pen: $2

"Random" Graphics card: $1 (It was an Nvidia GT 610. Worth about $10-30)

Various pony plushies: $3-$5 each

:derpytongue2:
