I can be such an asshole.

Some idiot in Asia decided to link to an image off of Musicwhore.org for his stupid BBS avatar. I have an .htaccess file in my images directory to block such links, but this dolt couldn’t take a hint. As a result, I got hundreds — a little more than a thousand, in fact — errors because of all those broken requests.

So I spent a good part of the day messing with the RewriteRule directive in Apache so it would return an entirely different image than the one this fucker expected. It took forever — damn can Apache be a pain in the ass sometimes — but I finally managed to return of picture of David James Elliott barechested.

(I had already tried one with a shirtless Dean Cain and another of Alton Brown. But my heart was set on a barechested DJE.)

At first, I redirected directly to another server, but I figured that was rude of me as well. So I rewrote the directive to point back to a dummy directory on Musicwhore.org. By the time I was ready to launch the new .htaccess file, the idiot changed his avatar to something other than an image on Musicwhore.org.

I win.

The moral of the story: don’t link to my fucking images, motherfucker.

(That asshat was lucky I didn’t point to pr0n.)
