Give me money!

Ahh… to be a woman in today’s society. Run up a $20,000 debt getting too much Starbucks and Prada pumps? No problem - do a little begging on the internet:

http://www.savekaryn.com

Surely there will be a “generous donors” who will contribute at least $2,714.11 (total as of right now).

I shouldn’t be irked by this but it really challenges my “if it floats your boat” attitude.

Oh my god that was the funniest thing I have even seen! I read all those e-mails and they were so **** funny. Especially the guy that would have paid for sex…crazy bastards out there!

It was funny though! I like this particular sentence:

“A computer is a necessary part of being a human in today’s society. I cannot live without one. It’s kind of like undereye cream. It’s something that everyone needs.”

I agree that a computer is vital… but good god - what would I do without my undereye cream? OMFG?! :stuck_out_tongue:

lol, what will people stoop down to for money??

Hey Phil,
Long time no see. Just checked out your site and the dark setup looks really nice. Btw, have you ever considered using AOL Instant Messenger? I can’t get ICQ nor Trillian to work and I’m quite baffled as to why.

Cheers!
Kirupa :bandit:

Hey Phil, I checked out your site. It is cool. But what I really want to know is…

IS THAT THE APHEX TWIN LOGO IN THE BG!!!???

I love Aphex Twin! And I would swear that that is your background pattern. I only caught a quick glimpse of it before the page loaded so I wasn’t sure.

Well, I guess thats it, other than this crazy site of Karyn begging for money. Funny what people would do, it really is.

I don’t know guys, this is really the last straw. What a scam.
I would, even if that was true, even if I knew her personally give her any money what so ever. After reading her little updates I was so pissed…she kept dropping brand names of things she had or has…come on…and her thousand pants…let mom and dad pay that ****e for that spoiled brat.

But I am sure its a scam, so whoever did this is really smart and resourceful. And if those stats for the site are correct, then I woudl loev to know how this person got such a high visitor number…I wish I coudl produce such numbers.

But here is the deal, it almost feels liek a perverted thing to me, like ****, because you never see her face but somehow you know she coudl be attarctive…I am sure there are lots of pervs who are clinging on to that site and trying to write email and money and perhaps get her attantion (or his who knows who did taht scam). Anyways in atht case I don’t want 90,000 oervs in one week visiting my site.

Just in case anybody replys and says they have that amount of traffic…I am talking about visitors, not hits…anybody can get a high number of hits…but you want to count your visits.

I wonder how many visits KIRUPA gets per day.week.month…

Would it be too much to ask to here the stats?

Hey Phil,

The background is used on your columnist’s page. I didn’t mean to snoop, but you saved it as pattern.gif. I figured if I could tell you which picture I was talking about it would help you even more.

Compare the pattern inside there with the logo of Aphex Twin The logo can be found in the grey background here…

www.aphextwin.nu

or a picture of it here…

Apparently mommy and daddy didn’t pay for her Gucci and Prada… but she’s basically asking US to pay for them. Nope, no picture of her face on there what-so-ever. She did state specifically in her FAQ that those who contribute get absolutely nothing… so I wouldn’t call her a whore. Why would she give them anything - she’s getting a pick at their wallet anyway. She’s really nothing more than those bums who stand by the freeway asking for your spare change… except maybe she has a nicely air-conditioned booth and cabana boys flanking her sides fanning her. And she’s asking for more than spare change, she’s asking for $20,000. That’s enough money to send some poor kid to a decent college.

I don’t know about you, but almost three grand from total strangers is a lot. There are tons of people in debt because of medical bills, tuition, etc… not because they lived in the lap of luxury and now have to pay for it. Again, I know I shouldn’t be irked by this - if people want to give their money to any cause, whether or not I personally find it worthy, it’s their business. But it’s annoying to think about! :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh hey Phil. Got caught up and forgot to respond. Anyway, yah, I’ll still give yah a hand, but I was waiting on Jubba. Is he still working on your Flash header?

How come you never ask me for help phil :*(

Phil didn’t ask me for help. I offered it to him a while back.

Dan might be able to come up with a better Title Bar than I could, he is more proficient with 3DS MAX and also with scripting and everything than I, and he seems to have slightly more free time than i do. I am totally booked with ‘jumping-out-of-cakes’ gigs. Work and my friends take up too much of my **** time. And its about time I reformatted my computer again…I can still do it, but I won’t really be able to do anything until I get back to school in the end of august. Early september.

I just thought maybe you hid it in there. I thought maybe I have finally found another Aphex Twin fan.

Here in Philly, mostly everyone listens to Rap. I hate Rap! I know of no one who likes Aphex Twin (or have even heard of him).

Well, as an attachment I included the brown block pattern. I removed the Aphex Twin logo to prevent any copywrite issues:)

If you want to use it you can, if not, then no biggie, took like 2 seconds to make.

I am sure I could hit up a pretty sweat title/menu header for the top of your site…you need to get AIM so we can talk sometime, so does rengirl and pom! Go get AIM, its the best and if you already have it then why haven’t you added me to ur buddy list :stuck_out_tongue:

AIM: methodan48

I have a sugestion.

I think it would be very popular, or am I just being uncharitable?

I dunno, to run up that kind of debt and not realise it - sorry but how dumb have you got to be? It’s a very simple equation really. Money comes in, money goes out. If more goes out than comes in, then you stop buying things - but then to ask the public in general to basicaly bail you out…

I’m going to keep my mouth shut I think, before I go off on one. :x

Phil: if your server allows cgi scripts to be run, I can set up Moveable Type for you. Moveable Type is god’s gift to web authors! It makes posting an article a snap and updating layouts at once even easier. It also makes it easier to track hundreds and hundreds of articles. You can even divided your articles into categories - oh the possibilities!

I have been using MT for a while now - I love it!

Isn’t CGI based on Perl or is it Perl itself? I use PHP so I’m not exactly a Binary pro!

Hey RenaissanceGirl,

I have never heard of this Moveable Type thing. It sounds interesting, I am definitely going to check it out. I have been looking for something like this for a while. I am currently using a PHP scripted news poster, but there aren’t an extensive amount of possibilities with it. So I will give CGI a try!

Thanks :slight_smile:

Phil: Just a full-time job. My girl and I have decided to go our seperate ways. However, my summer has been much more enjoyable now that I am no longer tied down. My friends have been taking up much of my time when I am not at work.

Beta - have you ever heard of Greymatter or [URL=http://www.blogger.com/]Blogger ?

Blogger is the more popular one… these were originally developed for an easy way to journal or post weblogs. But with the right modifications, they’re very useful as news archives, art gallery/diary… and other things you might imagine. Greymatter and Moveable Type are also equipped with comment systems… a great way for readers to respond. I have tried many and Moveable Type is my favorite. Here’s one of my weblogs done in Moveable Type:

I Can’t Believe We’re Not Addicted

This particular one uses the comments as well as multiple authors. I’ve been meaning to implement categories, but alas my procrastinator ways are hindering me.
