Damn Good Website: YubNub

Tired of saving your web favorites locally? YubNub is an Internet command line tool that allows you to assign "commands" (think keyword shortcuts) to any URL you like. For example, type in "/." and YubNub directs you to slashdot.org. "Sarah" catapults you to this very page (I created it myself, naturally). As long as your command isn't already taken, you could dream up whatever cute little interweb nicknames your little heart desires, assign them to your favorite URLs, and they'll be consistent no matter what computer you hop onto. Check out the current command list to see what others are adding, and then add YubNub to your Firefox search bar.

Back on topic...Has anyone made any commands that they would like to share?

Obviously, John-Paul, I wasn't the one running it into the ground. And if you don't have enough respect to at least 'understand' what nyg's post was about, you really are selfless, stupid fanboys and idiotic bastards.

And even though this was already evident, the least you could be, if to anyone at all, would be a human being. And it's not even that Sarah's on t.v.. That's great, that's fine. But you should respect that she's not to be treated like shit. Same goes for anyone else on this planet, and I would defend them just as well.

That, and my relationship with the one and only I love, and anyone elses, I covet above all things else. Sure, it sounds cheesy, the whole "love" thing, but it makes many people happy, and it's why many of you will go out and stupidly try to find some poor sap-of-a-girl to sleep with tonight, and why a good deal of you are fanboys based on the sole fact that Sarah is female. If it were up to many people with a great, working relationship, talking about and discussing that relationship with any other than the two persons that need to be involved, or a counselor if need be, would be illegal and punishable by re-education in respect for your fellow man, your loved one, and your attitude towards women.

Obviously, you need any readjustment you can get. And, Inquisitor, you're right about the red flag. It was a bit of antagonization on her part. But I mean, come on. What if she honestly and genuinely trusts her image among viewers and trusts them to be gentle with her feelings? What if she 'genuinely' thinks that we really aren't bad people? And that's especially the point I wanted to bring-up by this comment. I don't mean to run it further into the ground and beat a dead horse, but for anyone that appreciates any sort of privacy and gentility, especially with their friends and family, should at least understand a 'little' bit of that... And by the way, the page doesn't work for me.

Does anyone have any clue why?
June 10, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterShijin
Um, I wasn't talking about you so I really don't know why you are attacking me here. Second off I read that post the first time it was posted.

This shit is stupid, all of it, anyone remember that I am the one who has NEVER once asked about Sarah's relationship status.
June 10, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterJohn-Paul
And for the record, yes I think it's rude to ask Sarah all these questions but at the same time I see the point made that maybe it would all stop if Sarah just adressed it, but that is really being to optamistic because probably the people doing this crap would just find some other annoying thing to harp on.

Still, just because I see that point slightly does that make me some kind of freaking traitor or something? I don't get it.

Whatever, this has nothing to do with me, or you or anyone else, no matter how much they seem to think it does just because Sarah is on T.V. You want this kinda drama pick up people magazine or something and you can read all about Brad and Jennifer.

But I've found the perfect solution, at least for me:

Sarah, you are a great personality and a very interesting seeming person. I enjoy watching AOTS, at this point mainly just for your presence on it. Sorry for feeding the trolls and posting my personal B.S. off topic stuff all over your site. I wish you the best in everything.

Later all.
June 10, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterJohn-Paul
This will be my last on the subject, and then I'll put it to rest. Why should Sarah care what the viewers thinK? My point is that she should have been careful with what she posts in her forums, for precisely this reason. When you are in the spotlight, people will want to know everything about you, and this is no different. Take Morgan Webb, for instance. Do you see anything personal on her blog? And look at the crap that she gets for posting, all because she's a "celebrity". That's my point. You take a risk when ever you post any stuff about your personal life, and so people like Sarah become vulnerable to that sort of thing. So I guess all I'm saying is that Sarah should be more careful in the future, before she gets burned again.

Now that that's settled...

Yub-Nub? Isn't that Star-Wars related? Sounds like that Ewok chant at the end of Return of the Jedi... yub nub..yubdakidooki wai Ewoks!yakdooki wai Ewoks! Yakidooki-ai! AIIIIII!

Look peeps, Sarah doesn't owe anyone anything, whether she put it "in front of our face" or not. When it was still Tech TV, Sarah and Kevin's relationship was intriguing. How many places can you see something on TV like that? Most places don't let people in relationships work together. It was a side attraction that was cute, intriguing, but not what most people cared about or tuned into. And I'm a dude. Again, no matter what was "aired" with the whole thing, she doesn't owe you a damn thing.

P.S. @#$% Gbore (G4)

Who are the "you people" you are referring to here? And by the way, are you like her big brother or something, her guardian angel sent from above. Because if there is one thing Sarah doesn't need, it's some paternalistic nut-job pretending to be looking out for her best interests. You have about as much right as any of us here to poke your nose into her personal affairs, so don't go around pretending you're Prince Charming.

Sarah, sorry for all the bother, forget I said anything.

Pretty fun website - might run into some spam / keyword issues.

Suggestion for fun site : www.zoomurl.com - like tinyurl but with fun stuff like you can password protect your link, set an expire date and log in again and check statistics.Free of course.

I think this is a big scam and its all for the traffic to her site and G4.com and Systm.org and the other sites where most of these kids get this from. I pretty much quit reading the comments due to the lack of content in them. ITs becoming like watching G4tv. This is prob. just a big publicity stun to pull more traffic to the sites. They hope it will pass and it keeps the traffic coming because the fanboys check it every min. and want to know.... HAVE THEY REALLY BROKEN UP???? and my one question is? HOW THE HELL DID YOU FANBOYS COME UP WITH THE IDEA THEY BROKE UP!!!! WHERE AND WHAT LED YOU TO BELIVE THAT. Correct me if i am wrong but this is prob. something some stupid kid made up and its blown out of hand. For all you know they never were going out and it was a big show on tv or they were and broke up 6 months ago or maybe even the fact is they never broke up and they are still going out but who knows. IT DOESNT MATTER. Post your blog and Ill go to it read it and ask you questions maybe even ask you to mary me one day... because I am a fanboy

Sarah after Friday's show with GTA San Andreas and the Happy Tree Friends are you able to hold your head up high and say 'This is why I'm staying at G4?' I really think you are better than this. Peace out.

Well excuse me for living. You certainly put me in my place. I think it's time for your spanking. Then again, maybe not, maybe its time to just *snip* and be done with it.

Hey Sarah, I found a great site I think you and your audience might like:

http://www.43things.com/

Maybe you've heard of it before, but its like a giant list of 43 things that people want to do in their life, and you can find out how many other people also want to do that same exact thing! Kinda fun for a few procrastinating minutes ;D

enjoy ;-)

Nah, I ain't her big brother. Just and old fan of Tech TV who is sick of hearing everyone say she owe's them an answer. I don't care about her relationships; I care about good tech programming that has been demolished by Gbore. I'm going to be married next summer, and couldn't give two @#$%'s about dating her or any other celebrity, minor or superstar. The people who demand an answer probably get a kick out of watching "Video Game Vixens." I mean come on, a show like that? Who @#$%ing cares. Pathetic. But that's the kind of rubbish Gbore has reduced the channel to its core. Gbore's new target market is 12-34, and given the incessant posts about her relationship, I'm guessing a lot of the ignorant people demanding answers are around the former part of that numerical formula.

Alas, there's an outlet. Longlivetechtv.com. It's a Yahoo! group. Can get lots of info on the new projects of former Tech TV members.

Have any of you ever thought that Sarah might come on here and look at all the idiotic things you people post? She doesn't care. Get a life and move on. She can care less about any of you. Quit wasting time hoping she'll say "Oh I'm just so glad to have all of these wonderful fans." Because she won't. Pathetic.

Sarah I saw you on todays AOTS! Oh my god the best i have ever seen you! Loved your hair and outfit!!! Your so hottt!!!
June 13, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterLethal Even Asleep
Well here's one for you. I emailed Ms. Lane yesterday and she replied. She didn't have to. I never expected her to. She ignored my being silly, which I do so oten in email, she ignored my silly questions since I am new to the whole blog and AOTS forums. (back surgery + no woman = free time) She was polite and to the point. Does she look overly happy? No. Would you be happy with a camera on you even when you are off the air? The chick is deep and she's being treated like eye candy and nothing else. I noticed today why she wouldn't look happy. Kevin P. treats her like shit. He acts like he owns the place. It pisses me off. She is a human being for crying out loud. Yeah I'm like so many of you (ie- a pathetic lonely person) but I'm not going to pick on her, insult her, OR profess undying love for someone I'll never meet. The world is crazy. What am I trying to say? Just that she deserves a little respect. I wish her the best. I hope she finds a job on a network that can appreciate her talents. Damn I need to get out of the house. All this computer crap has made me grumpy. Bunch of heathens. Let the girl be!

Now the peanut gallery has gone home the day, let me add my two cents about YUB/NUB- It's pretty much useless. Personally, I find this extension more useful:

June 13, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterThe Inquisitor
Let me ask those people a question- if you want Sarah to be left alone, why do you keep the comments going? Because every time this thing finally starts to die, it begins to flare up again. You want to help Sarah? Stop COMMENTING about it! That goes for me too. As of now, I will no longer make any comments pertaining to Sarah's personal life, or anyone else for that matter. Thank you.
June 13, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterThe Inquisitor
There's only 'one' small problem with that, my friend. Nobody reads the comments above the latest ones. Meaning, anything below 10 comments above their own provided slot, is unheard. Especially when people spam or post in longaited replies. That, and I think the intrigue you pointed out earlier of which she set herself up for, was more interesting than you think in this case.

And this is a classic example of why tabloids sell. People are naturally curious. And even more-so at the level of intelligability of which they're capable. That, and gossip is just something we're almost bred to be responsive to. Though, you can just be one less person to care about it. Find an alternate solution. And if ever anyone else, celebrity or otherwise, asks for your help in a case like this, do what you can and that'll've been your solution.

And, by the way, I don't think Pereira 'means' to "waltz around like he owns the place". He's just doing his job. He's selling the show with humor and he's trying to be a good show host. I'm sure if anyone actually approached him about this, he 'would' be quite a bit upset.

Maybe because of his experience in radio and the way the industry represents itself, he's developed a habit of seeming a bit harsh at times. But he's not about to go around, trying to tactically rip apart his fellow co-hosts through witty remarks that they take offense to. If that were so, he'd've been removed from the show by now. Just think about it professionally.

Listen Sarah if the rumors are true then we should have a private talk during one of my movie junkets. I will share with you the secrets of dominating and controlling a man. I can make a man leave his beautiful wife and come to a third world country and dance with malnourished children if I told him to. I can make a man carry around a vial of my blood around his neck. But right now the children of the world need my help...oh and don't miss Mr. and Mrs. Smith now showing at a theater near you!!!
