about « deputydog

about

1. deputydog is one word. the url of choice would’ve been deputydog.com but it’s taken.

2. it’s a blog about stuff. mainly interesting architecture, clever design, geographical oddities and so on.

3. the lack of any capital letters throughout the site is deliberate. a quick tip for those wishing to leave shitty comments about the permanent lowercase: it isn’t my grammar you’re trying to shit on, it’s my punctuation.

4. the site is hosted on wordpress until a server has been located, sufficient limbs have been sold for purchase and a new layout and logo designed.

5. suggestions for future posts are always welcome. email them to deputydog@deputy-dog.com.

What the fuck? Where is the site? (deputy-dog.com)
5 deputydog on August 1, 2007 said:

the site is currently pissing me off beyond belief.

it was causing the server to crash every other day so i’m trying to get it up on a much bigger one. it’s costing me money and my health.

technology fucking sucks.

I have no idea how to do this. I’m a neophyte. But take a look at http://www.sachsreport.com. Similar idea, but very different format. How did he do that? Maybe worth looking into.
Good luck.

i was expecting a really boring article about megacities, but was totally caught off guard by your site. your feature on kowloon is really just the tip of the iceberg. i totally like your site, man. you’re so funny i’m almost in love. good luck with the techy problems though!

Why not try a Virtual Dedicated Server to host your site on
https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/virtual.asp?ci=9013&display=virtual

They start at $30.00 a month and surely with all that traffic you can put some non-intrusive Google ads up and generate that back.
10 GiorgosK on September 3, 2007 said:

Why don’t you consider adding adsense to your site or maybe sell some advertisement on it so you can get some money for your hosting (instead of selling an organ to pay for it)

Get in touch with me for some friendly (free) advice if you want!!!

Pretty cool website..and don’t even get near Godaddy…assuming you haven’t bought a domain name there already.

“thanks ‘fuckoff’. email me and maybe we can become friends.” deputy-dog FTW!
15 mary on September 11, 2007 said:

I popped in to add Dick VanDyke’s cockney accent to your list, but saw it was already there. I love Dick VanDyke, so wanted to add that he DID receive an Oscar nomination for the role. Lost to Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady.

Great site. Great work. Thanks.
17 Deano on September 24, 2007 said:

Just a stupid idea but this arbitrary throught crossed my mind; has there ever been a building big enough that someone has built another, self-contained, building within it? Obviously I’m thinking of something more impressive that a WH Smiths inside say Waterloo station….

I don’t know why anyone would but now that thought is like an itch I need to scratch? What do you reckon?
18 deputydog on September 24, 2007 said:

good thinking deano. i’ll have a look…

Ok deputy-dog now you’ve got me hooked…I love the ideas you come up with.
21 stiven on September 27, 2007 said:

good luck ddog.
22 yk on October 1, 2007 said:

if you’re interested in hosting, I don’t mind hosting you for free.

I’d need to know how much bandwidth you use though, but those are all the details. email me!
23 AmberLynn on October 3, 2007 said:

I FREAKIN LOVE YOU! I FIGURED SINCE YOU WERE DOING LOWER CASE I WOULD DO UPPERCASE…………….THE NEXT PERSON THAT HATES ON YOUR FOR YOUR LOWER CASE….JUST SEND THEM MY WAY…I THINK WE BOTH KNOW I HAVE SOME PENT UP HOSTILITY THAT I’D LOVE TO RELEASE ON SOME ASSHOLE…ALSO….I CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THE BLOG ABOUT THE BATHROOM RATING SITE…..I LOVED THAT SO MUCH IT NEEDS TO MAKE A COMEBACK….POSSIBLY RETOOLED WITH MAYBE A SCREEN SHOT OF A HUMOROUS SURVEY FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO ENTER A KNEW BATHROOM LOCATION….JUST A THOUGHT.

deano, I saw some article about islands on islands. A big island with a lake on it and then an island in that lake. Maybe it was even one more step i’m not sure. Pretty cool anyway, don’t have a link though.
Awesome site deputydog. My new favourite!
25 Charlie on October 8, 2007 said:

Not a fan of blogs, but this kept me away from productive(?) work for hours. Thanks. I find it curious that so many people join debates over the net. No-one seems to ecome convinced of anothers’ argument. Many people seem to get worked up. I guess this is how debate happens now. I wonder if it is a useful forum, or whether just a way of passing the time? Anyway, this is my perpetual position…undecided. Not a useful contibution is it? I enjoyed your collections, and will come back another time. Thanks again.
26 Lenilenadingdong on October 8, 2007 said:

Thanks to you, I have eased into a very boring and unmotivated week. I love your site and the stuff you’ve found. Please don’t ever stop!
27 kim on October 8, 2007 said:

jenzie, you might be thinking of this:

http://www.elbruz.org/islands/Islands%20and%20Lakes.htm

It includes the largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island. (Vulcan point in Crater Lake on Vulcano Island in Lake Taal on Luzon in the Philippines.)

It’s not the punctuation, it’s the mechanics.
30 Scott on October 12, 2007 said:

And yes, that was a comma splice
31 Scott on October 12, 2007 said:

DD, reading this site is keeping me up all night.

It’s a great read.

How often do you update ?
32 Michael on October 14, 2007 said:

I read two posts then checked you About page, then after reading it I realized the only had lowercase type.
33 DX on October 27, 2007 said:

Nice site! Why don’t versateladsl.be like you? Any time I try to send a link to your site to pals in Belgium I get a note from the mail admin saying message was rejected due to the presence of deputy-dog.com?
Liked the scarecrow animation!
34 paperseed on October 31, 2007 said:

You have some really fascinating posts. It nice to have one’s mind-blown every once in a while and some of your content really does that for me. Thanks!
35 moondancer on November 6, 2007 said:

Not knowing many of the sights in this web award category, yours was a pleasant “find”. Nice, will be back soon.
36 Joe on November 7, 2007 said:

From one blogger to another…
It’s great to see a site that really breaks the mold.

Oh, and I would have shit my pants if I got an offer to write for cracked.com. They’re an awesome website; some quallity fucking literature for sure.

Keep keeping it real, my man!

Dammit, Shaun, quit being so fucking awesome! You’re making the rest of us look bad.

Hello Sean

Since i have so obviously been living in the dark ages and have become so self absorbed to not ask my friends what they do with their spare time; that i had no idea about your site until Karina told me at lunch on Saturday. I am impressed, it looks great. I will endevor to get it taken off the banned website list at work and will henseforth rip off your extensive knowledge of the weird and wonderful to increase my own popularitry buy sending random emails to everyone who doesn’t know about this fountain of information.

Seriously though i love it, i can see many an hour dissapearing before me.
