# It was when I lived in Chicago
and they were closing an historic place. I happened to be there and they interviewed me. For a while it would play on television late night and people would call the next day and say, "I saw you on tv at 2 in the morning!" My fifteen minutes.

College Bowl?
(I helped save b3ta! Artamnesia, Tue 10 Jun 2003, 4:51, archived)
# nope,
"Capital Blue Cross BRAINBUSTERS!"
it was only on the local NBC station, so you're not likely to have seen it unless you're from central PA. Even Philly doesn't get that station.
(I helped save b3ta! Or is it?, Tue 10 Jun 2003, 4:56, archived)
# I see all


"the prize that sent the provocative message to our communities - and one that will really motivated the entire student body to rally behind their Brainbusters team - is Capital Blue Cross's commitment to finance a free day at Hersheypark for the entire winning high school."

I used to Watch College Bowl very early on Saturday mornings. My mom would have it on. The video used a split screen to show both panels at once, but I thought they were on this very clever multi-level set like Hollywood Squares.

# B3ta boarder Shibby is hosting Sexxx or Something Else
in exchange for me making him a site (he says it has gotten over a million visits since Friday - I'm wondering if he means "hits"), but I am hosting Art or Crap on an old host after my newer one sent me an email saying "I don't mean to sound harsh...". Thing is I only have two Gigs left on that account - should last about one more day....It was a stop-gap measure to take - and now I'm screwed yet again.

# how does it work?
I'm not entirely sure what sort of scripts I can run, but I may be able to get away with hosting it at least for a while....

This is what my policy says:
Our goal is to provide reliable Web services to all users of this service. If activity related to your web space is found to be excessive and/or adversely affects server performance or other users, we reserve the right to make necessary adjustments.

so I don't have any strict bandwidth limitations. They may shut me down pretty quickly though...
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Tue 10 Jun 2003, 4:58, archived)
# Thanks so much
and I am touched but I know they would get pissed pretty fast and honestly, it would affect other people who share the server you are on. I think I may try to pay for more space with Shibby since he owns a hosting service.
