TCAHR - Better Living Through Memetics Issue 20 CEO Progress Report 2 02/25/01 ------------------------------------------------------------ Jet Jaguar here with the world infection report. In the past TCAHR cycle, we've continued our lessons on creation of memes and virii. We done a book report of sorts, went on the road, and continued improving your lives through the gift of sarcasm. We seem to have been very busy. Sadly, no. Circumstances have slowed up down greatly. I can only blame myself for this. Anyway, I'll let you decide for yourself. 1. Advertising Originally, we were hosted on Azian.Nu. After all the hours of hitting the search engines and webrings, Azian.nu shut down. Then we transfered to Virtue.Nu, and Virtue.Nu got hacked. So we were forced to mirror TCAHR at Envy.Nu. Now Envy.Nu has got problems of a graphical nature. What can I say? You get what you pay for. I've had to change my flyers three times and I only got two copies of them printed up. Seeing as Champlain is way too expensive a place to make Xerox copies, I shall begin the off-line phase of TCAHR's advertising in about a week or so. Here's the standard plea for help. Link us or download some flyers. The infection only spreads with the help of our readers. Flyer: http://www.virtue.nu/flyer.html Banner: http://www.virtue.nu/tcahrbanner.gif Linking Logo: http://www.virtue.nu/smlogo.gif I've also been using my web cam to pimp myself and draw attention to TCAHR. I don't know why my ugly mug attracts people, but it does. Guess I'm just a slut after all. 2. Memetic Attacks We launched two memetic attacks in this cycle. One was the "Isn't He Better than a Stupid Indian?", the other was "Rudy is an Idiot". With attacks like "A Letter on Gothic Racism", I was happy to launch them on article-publishing websites. I am no longer content to do this. I'm now also blasting politicians and corporate agencies directly through e-mail. I can almost see someone yelling "SPAM!" now. However, I'm not mass-mailing just anyone. Every memetic attack is targeted towards certain people. I don't feel guilty about my version of a online viral war and, quite frankly... WE ARE NOT DONE YET! We've discovered some very interesting information about Illinois' Governor Jim Ryan, the University of Illinois, and his link to Chief Illiniwek. Shame, shame, shame! We're coming for you, Jimmy-baby! Anyway, if you come here and see that TCAHR is gone, it was probably due to our tactics. Then we'll just find a new free server and start the whole damn war again! 3. Website Changes We had to clean up the place. Instead of listing all our articles on the index page, we created an archive section. The CEO page is now the CEO Cam page. Click on the graphic inside to see the above mentioned ugly mug. There was no interest in the e-newsletter version of TCAHR. It has been stuck dead until we reach about 50 issues, then we'll test the waters again. Finally, welcome the links posted on the right-hand side of the TCAHR index page. TCAHR would never link to someone or something which we do not use, trust, respect, or are filled with absolute admiration for. Some of the links will take you to sites with ideas of thoughts which might not seem in tune with TCAHR. That's where the respect and absolute admiration kicks it. As for the webrings, I checked the stats and realized that I've received 3 lousy hits from them. They're gone. Deal. 4. New Plans TCAHR will have an audio section where you can hear your humble CEO rant his ass off. I'm told and believe that I'm a better speaker than I am a writer. This will not interfere with the ASCII version of TCAHR. The audio version will be something to break up the monotony. If I end up having to choose between the audio version and the ASCII version, the audio is dead. That's not even the hardest decision for me. We've been recruiting writers and working on our network of people who are witnesses to fucked-up shit. I'm very happy about this possiblity. TCAHR was never meant to be a soapbox for a few, it's meant to create and inspire memes. I want conservatives, right-wingers, and unashamed upper-income people to feel welcome to write for and enjoy TCAHR. I'm not out to launch left-wing memes, I'm out to launch memes. Period. With the return of doing memetic attacks in this cycle, I've begun to think about what forms TCAHR should come in. I don't mind writing the personal stuff. I've even thought about putting up issues of poetry. Poetry is just as good (possibly better) a way to get a point across. I'm thinking of doing the next few issues like that. Any comments? 5. The End of TCAHR This all may not happen. This may possibly be the last article of TCAHR. It almost certainly is for two weeks. The Jet needs some time to think and reflect. My NitchMach neuro-programming is conflicting with my environment. It's during progress report time I allow myself to consider quitting. This cycle's end catches me at a long and bitter mood which has been my constant companion for two weeks. I'm not happy and the Nietchezian thought process in me demands happiness. I'm going to relax a bit before I begin a selfish quest to hunt down some happiness for myself. Hopefully, I'll find some out there.
