Ok, so someone just pointed out that I mention nothing about computer errors, and I just bitch about random stuff. Well, he has a good point, so I thought I would let you in on the history of this site:
As an IT guy, my buddy and I would spend all day pissing about the morons that we worked with. You know, things like:
Person #1: My computer locked, so I rebooted it, only now all my email is gone.
Person #2: After looking over the situation, I determined that Outlook had, in fact, self destructed, and all email was lost in a corrupted .pst file.
Person #1: Well, you can get it all back for me right?
Person #2: Nope, it's gone.
Person #1: But, you make nightly backups for everyone, don't you?
Person #2: Correction, I make nightly backups for everyone except you, who specifically said that I was invading your personal space, to which I replied "fine, but if anything every happens, I don't want to hear about it". So now, it's your problem, not mine.
That happened about week prior to the concept of Pebkac404 website. The 404 is the generic "Page Not Found" error. This was in reference to the total moron that we worked with who could not find her way out of a paperbag, and who was mentioned on here more than once.
Anyway, we would spend our time complaining about the stupidity we had to deal with. He wanted to make a football jersey with the Name of pebkac, and the number of 404. I wanted to make a daily comic, but can't be bothered to draw it out every day. After deciding a Blog would work best, I registered the name for $7.95 at Go Daddy, it's hosted for free through google, and here we now are.
The problem was, shortly after setting up the website, I left my job. So, now I no longer have to deal with dumb questions on a daily basis like:
Person #1: I turned on my computer, but nothing is happening.
Person #2: Did you turn on your monitor too?
Person #1: I never turn it off, so i shouldn't.... nevermind.
But, just give it a some time. I am sure to get back to work and we can all enjoy stuff like that again. If you want, you can send money to my paypal account. That seemed to work for OddTodd.com

I see, very interesting. Sounds exactly like the idiots I work with...
Hey, why can't someone post a new topic instead of just comments on topics you set? Is there a way to start a whole new topic if you are just a user?
