word from the weekend

aeryxz — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 07:20:12 +0000

I haven’t posted much, big weekend. I’ve just read a couple of articles and soon you’ll read my thoughts into them. The biggest important headline breaking news is that… 2jerks is finally up. Well I lie, but the first official comic is up. It’s great, because I hate Kanye West. The link is 2jerks.wordpress.com

The hackers, reportedly part of the popular online community 4chan, contacted Soulja Boy demanding he hand over $US2500 to regain control over his account.

They should have asked for over 9000! But seriously, these hackers are lol. They’re doing community service for the world, Soulja Boy is a fucking idiot.

Last week, the school posted a message on its website apologising for the win. “It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened. This clearly does not reflect a Christlike and honourable approach to competition,” the message read.

Since when did you have to apologise for being awesome? Christlike approach? What does that even mean? Should they have sodomised the little girls or what? So dumb.

The Opposition has branded the Government “irresponsible” for…

State governments are so petty. Abolish State Government, Australia doesn’t need more politicians.

And triple J hottest 100. Kings of Leon number one. Seriously??? The top 10 is ridicious, possibly the worst year voted ever. Nothing original in that list at all, just all about being popular and not about being a good song. Such a diluted top 100, and totally misrepresents the year of music releases. Maybe the majority of Australians listening to music should stop sucking and man up.

More dumb Australians. Seriously, riot on “Invasion Day”. Well done, put Australia back another 10 years. These fucks do not represent the majority of Australians, it’s just stupid white Australians being closed minded and douches. Unfortunately this is the reality of some of the people here, and truly is despicable. 2jerks from Sydney, on Australia Day, becomes 20000jerks from Sydney.

That’s just grea

I was pumped to do an update tonight because I was out last night, unable to do anything. Turns out that the heat was against me, frying the circuitry at the power station, and losing power to my house for 3 to 4 hours. It was 32 degrees, no power, I felt like a poor boy in some third world country, however the neighbours had power… we’re all on different circuits. I have nothing to bring to the table today, nothing at all. I’ve been watching the Gruen Transfer on DVD with my Macbook all night, and the battery lasted for the whole power outage. I truly love macs.

I’ve put together some interesting links I’ve been looking at tonight, a remix for mr. “first black president of the united states who will solve the world’s problems” obama, some funny dudes in Sydney and their take on some music thieves in the industry, 20 robot tattoos, really fucking nice black and white photos of WMDs (Little Boy and Fat Man are quite eerie), and a design view on angled steps

double the comics

aeryxz — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 07:08:15 +0000

As promised, two comics will be uploaded today. I looked at my spam folder on gmail and there’s a reoccuring theme; how about some originality.

gmail spam filter works

oooo lovelockdown

slumdog millionaire; i kid... it's a great movie.

oh snap; 2nd week and still posting!

aeryxz — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 07:50:01 +0000

I’ve reached an amazing milestone. It’s the second week of 2jerks (will not 2jerks but a single jerk from 2jerks), and I’m still posting! This is lasting longer than I thought. The progress of 2jerks has slowed down – we’ve run into a layout problem and still working on the layout until moving all these posts over. In hindsight, we should have probably made the layout before posting crap. But life is funny like that sometimes; shit just doesn’t work out.

I got a really strange message from my mate this Saturday. No fucking kidding.

I just say [sic] someone who looked exactly like you, only with awesome tits. You make a hot girl mang

I’ve forgotten the comic at work today to scan in. So I’ll post it tomorrow, maybe you’ll get two comics! Just the thought! I bet I’m making you aroused now. Instead of a comic, I have permission to upload another excel file, not used in a presentation but made from a mate; dodgo. Load the file up and hold the delete button. Yes, this is what he does in his spare time. And yes, he is single. You ladies out there, come get your goodin’s. (PS: it works suckily with a MAC, so PC users unite because finally you have something worth getting a PC for)

Okay. I can’t upload this file as an xls file, so you’ll need to rename the extension to xls (I am renaming it to ppt). For those who has limited knowledge with that thing you are using right now, click the file, rename the .ppt to .xls. If you can’t do that, you are fail and disregard everything in life.

fiyah – an excel file cross-dressed as a powerpoint file. once you have renamed to xls, open it using excel then hold the delete button.

More more sharks~!

I got this email from Jetstar;

This Australia Day we are celebrating by giving away 150 Jetstar Flight Vouchers worth $300 each! Use it to visit family and friends interstate, or visit a part of our big backyard that you’ve never seen.

Just get some family and friends together, take a photo of them doing a Jetstar ‘Star Jump’ and email it to us at australiadaystars@jetstar.com along with your full name, State or Territory, and contact phone number by midday (12:00pm AEDT) Tuesday 20 January 2009.

I thought it would really be amusing if there was someone doing a starjump whilst being eaten by a shark. As shown in the comic. Mat from 2jerks coined a new word from my previous comic – “simulbite” – when two sharks attack at once. I dig it.

Jetshark Airways!

I also found an amusing article of the net (via gizmodo) http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/12/rebel_shark_that_plays_by_his_own_rules_jumps_onto_waterslide_lives_fast_dies_young-2.html; and from the link you can probably tell that a rebellious shark jumped into a waterslide. It’s pretty funny. Except the shark died because of the chlorine, and for that reason amongst many others is why I try to avoid chlorinated pools… I’d rather swim with the sharks.

This post needs more SHARK

Another day at work, another shark comic.

more sharks!

The other side of 2jerks sent me an assignment we did together in 2004. The subject was “Introduction to XML”, and we had to do a slideshow with something to do with XML, obviously. We chose VOICEXML, and I have uploaded our presentation here. I’ve removed the names of the people involved (except for the nick names), but everything else is how we presented. I’m pretty sure we got a decent mark, maybe a D or close HD. I’m hoping to get a copy of an essay we did in first year for a subject I don’t remember fuck all about, except we had to act things and learn about this philosopher De Bono, which was fucking boring.

VOICEXML (Powerpoint required)

the first comic

Shark attacks are always pretty funny. Well not really, it’s always fun and games until someone loses an eye or a leg or a chunk of their chest. Either way, sharks are the kings of the sea, and we should not be emulating them with surfboards. There has been a few shark attacks in NSW, and shark sightings. I just find it amusing that of all the ocean the sharks can swim in, they choose something like Maroubra to chillax.

I particularly like the way SMH does the shark reports, I find it amusing. I just overheard on the ABC news, they interviewed 3 or so people, and they all “try not to think about it”, or “don’t care”. It would seem that the shark’s vital weak point is a punch to the face, as reported in SMH, and even a 13 year old successfully beat one off her. It’s not all too bad, right?

It’s been in the making since 2005, but the project is finally happening. 2jerksfromsyd is the comedy/comic blog I’ve been raving about for 4 years. Expect absolutely nothing, and 0 updates.
