void

Merry Saturday.

Here's a collection of short songs (21MB download). It's called "<void>".

These songs were written in the last month or so. And, out of all the things I've done under the name "Smaller Animals", I'm confident that these are the most recent, by far. I'm sure you'll agree.

So here it is: rough and ready to ... do whatever it does. I hope you make it a part of your X-Mas celebration.

The Seven/Ten Most Deadly Cities

Forbes.com gets all judgmental:

Forget Paris or Rome. If you're desperately seeking sex, head to San Antonio or Cincinnati instead.

Residents of these metros enjoy vigorous sex lives--at least their condom and contraceptive purchases at grocery and drug stores indicate as much. These purchases placed them in the top 10 of our survey of America's Most Lustful Cities.

They also have the 10 most Jealous, Obese, Sedentary, Murderous, Vain, and Greedy.

Sweet.

What a Great Day!

Half-day at work. My bosses are all on vacation. I've got nothing to do till noon but drink tea, eat bagels, and hang out in the bathroom playing Tetris on my cellphone.

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Whacha-Whacha-Whacha Want?

Balloon Juice Disemvoweller / Pie Filter

Because the others are so useful, I've created a Greasemonkey script for Balloon Juice, to disemvowel comments from users you don’t like.

It works the same as the others, and the same caveats apply (works based on the name the commenter uses, etc). In addition to good old dsmvwllng, it also has options for replacing their text with a nice white-on-black    REDACTED    banner; or it can make the text really small: Look at me, I'm small!. It also has a special "I Like Pie" mode (thanks to d-p-u).

So, Download and install, if you wish (you’ll need Greasemonkey, first : FireFox, GM 4 IE).

(note: the following text is obsolete, as of 8/2/2011, because the latest edition of the BJ pie filter allows you to add/remove people from your pie list via two buttons on the comment page itself - no more editing required! )

You’ll have to do some minor editing on the script itself - to add your list of targets, and optionally, to change the comment-abusing style. Again, all the stuff you need to monkey with (haha) is clearly commented.

If you’re using FireFox, and you’ve installed GreaseMonkey, and installed this script, just go to the Tools menu, choose GreaseMonkey / Manage User Scripts, select the script and click Edit. (not sure where the option is in IE. you'll find it). The things you need to edit are right there at the top. It’s basically just a matter of changing the default ‘baddies’ names to the names of the people you want to filter. You can have as many names as you want. If you need more help, feel free to ask.
