The Monday Update - October 18th, 2010

Not a lot going on this week in terms of new and unusual things at the House of Paincakes.  Little bit of this, a little bit of that - none of it new, but don't let that fool you into thinking that the the crack admin team isn't feverishly working on the problem of giving more than 100% percent of anything.  I don't want to break the news before our experiments pan out... but it may involve magic.

With that out of the way, its on the news... such as it is.

Article Submissions:  With rare exception, the only time we get articles submissions is the couple of days following us begging for them.  So I guess we have to keep begging asking:  Please send in your articles submissions.  PLEASE! 

The Facebook Page: For those few of you who were aware of our Facebook page, you may have noticed that it never updates.  We have no idea why this is.  We've followed the directions and it never works.  Either Facebook can't find our feed or it just wont import anything.  I've even tried burning the feed.  If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to shout out in the comments or shoot us an email.

Last but not least, here's an extra special announcement from your pal, Dethtron:

I've noticed quite a few people referring to this blog/blog network as IHOP.  It's actually just HOP or HoP.  This was a deliberate move to make sure that we weren't infringing on anybody's copyrights.  Seriously, those Pancake people have been known to sue the shit out of people who steal their IP.  So please cease and desist using IHOP to refer to our site, before we get a Cease and Desist of our own.  Remember, we're the House of Paincakes (HoP).

maybe you should take the "Int'l" out of your logo ;)

To be fair I sent my first article submission without you having to ask. I then presumed you'd have a massive backlog of them so I didn't bother to send another one until you specifically asked...

Off Topic. My Blog 'Followers' and site 'hits' have gone up considerably since I joined your network so I suppose some thanks should be in Order...So, Thanks.

DaveG: You are right about the logo. We may need to adjust that.

Everyone: we are actually trying to have a huge backlog of user content right now. We fully appreaciate all of the great submissions that we've received so far, not just the ones that we've published. Just because we haven't published something yet, doesn't mean it won't be in the future. There are many secret plans at work right now, all with the eventual goal of an incredibly high quality and quick paced posting frequency. So keep those articles coming, we really appreciate it.

How about I forward you the backlog of emails I have and my thesis which needs finishing :)?

Matt said...

I hate thesis..es? finished my own and I swear I aged a decade just from the defense alone.

Gentlemen,

As a lurker on your blog I suggest a different logo so you don't get any kind of email/desist order.

In other corners of the internet I help keep the IP stuff under a careful watch not to be a jerk but so we can still do what we want to do.

Besides... you need a symbol. As a blog you can be discredited, slandered, or destoryed. As a symbol you can become something more, something that can't be destroyed...

and all that other crap!

Yeah, I don't mean to be a smart-ass about it, but if it's really a concern, the "Int'l" will trip you up.
Though, being of "PAINcakes" may work in your favour, the "IHOP" refs could hurt, and I'd hate to see all your awesome work get affected by IP douchebaggery.
