TRANSFORMERS!!!! LKHSALDNNNDD!!!!!!

LKSAHDLHLHF!!!! TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN!!!!!! LAKSHLLDKHALHDLKASD!!!! REVIEW!!! GIANT ROBOTS PUNCHING EA– AAAARRDSFHILDSHBBME!!!!!

  1. Bumblebee is so Sam’s giant robot boyfriend. It takes Sam a whole movie to confess love to Mikaela, but he’s totes fine with throwing off-hand I-love-yous to Bumblebee in the garage. No wonder Bumblebee hates Alice so much.
  2. PETER!!! CULLEN!!! LSKHDLHADAAA!!!!
  3. About 60% of this film is the US Army going, “Ho snap! We’re in a movie! Quick, do some manoeuvres! Hut hut hut!”
  4. HUGO!!! WEAVING!!! AKHDLNLKNLWNEE!!!!
  5. Female Transformers, including Arcee.
  6. Speaking of whom: Less twins, more Arcee.
  7. I’m in love with Jetfire’s character design. Robot beard!
  8. “Starscream, I’m home!”
  9. It was long (really long), but I can’t say I was bored.
  10. ROBOTS PUNCHING EACH OTHER!!! LKHSADLHALNNNDDSA!!!!
  11. There were, like, 10,000 people there and we were right down the front. Popular.
  12. Speaking of Alice, キスぷれ anyone?
  13. I kept feeling that characters were getting “lost” during various parts of the plot. Like, what happened to Wheelie? He just kinda… vanished when all the big explosions started happening. But then I remembered that this movie was less about plot and more about GIANT ROBOTS!!!!! PUNCHING EACH OTHER!!!!!! KNLSADNLKNDDDD!!!!

So yeah. If you’re all, “Wot ho old lad, let’s go see a smashing good film with thoughtful dialogue and an intriguing premise. Toodle pip!” This film is not for you. On the other hand, if you’re all like, “LSKADHLNNDD!!! ROBOTS!!! PUNCHING EACH OTHER!!!! LKHSDNNNDDSALKDDJ!!!!!” Then a Ticket Is You!

    This is incredibly nerdy but, well, that’s me.

    Anyway, I’ve been going around trying to clean up void-star.net in the last couple of days, because it’s That Time of Decade again. Asides from the whole WordPress/sk.log rationalisation, one of the things I’ve been going around doing is cleaning up old cruft from the filesystem. You know, the detritus of projects that seemed like an awesome idea at 10pm on a Saturday night, but never really went anywhere.

    One of the things that’s always annoyed me — and this will probably tell you a lot about the kind of person I am — is the fact that I have a really messy set of subdirectories. Each separate site lives in a directory off of /public_html, as do things like my media junk folder, Mint, sandpit and the main domain’s layout folder. In short, there’s no bloody structure to it! It’s messy! 32 subfolders of messy! Grargh!

    After decided to install WordPress in its own directory to prevent root folder “cruft”, it occurred to me to see what else I could move around. I remember back a millionty years ago, Ye Olde CPanele used to freak out if you tried to direct a subdomain or an FTP account to something that wasn’t directly under /public_html, but this limitation thankfully no longer plagues us. I figured it would be totally awesome to create subdirectories called sites and hosted to collect, well, collective sites and hostees in.

    One of the other things I’m oddly strict about doing is adding 301 and 410 redirects in for dead and moved sites. For dead subdomains, this results in a folder with a single .htaccess file in it, containing one or more mod_alias or mod_rewrite directives. Because I’m Like That, I figured it would be totally awesome to collate all these dead project directories into a single location; in this case, another directory under the hostees/collective directories. Then I just need to re-point the subdomain aliases, and…voilà!

    So anyway, I plotted my Brand New Awesome Structure out in a text filei and, damn, went down from 32 root directory folders to just nine, plus one index file (for WordPress) and one .htaccess.ii

    And then I was like, Damn woman! That is some fine rationalisation! So decided to tell the whole internet how clever I am.

    Just, yanno. so you know.

    1. Yes. Nerd. I know.
    2. And some hosted services cruft. Damn you, Google Apps!
