I've heard many joyous happy most terrific excellent things about Matsumura Fishworks. I'm glad you guys managed to hook up.

There are already lines in place, we were told that over 15000 megabits of data was transferred each day from the rigs computers to the corporate headquarters in Japan. This thing is as high tech as Robocop.

you guys are killing me :1orglaugh

Thanks man, they definately know how to wheel and deal. :thumbsup

Sheesh...I guess some of these guys have never heard of fibber optics.

ADG Webmaster

I'm loving the idea. I can't wait to be part of this.

I'll ask Marty whos the head of the tech department about all the tech stuff. He used to work for Transocean (NYSE: RIG) on a similar rig and knows all about it. I am really just the idea man.

This is the best idea since Kevin Costner's "Waterworld":

I like your enthusiasm. :thumbsup

50 Oil rigs converted for hosting

I know alot of you think Shoehorn, and I are a couple of jokesters, or a bit goofy, but Shoehorn is one of the smartest business men I have ever met. He worked really hard on all aspects of this deal. Many times when I was ready to give up, he kept going forward.

We are really excited to fully launch.

You were as much the driving force behind this as I was, stop being so modest.

Hey man not knockin you guys one bit. Just sound funny with the postings i am reading. Kinda curious myself how this will pan out for you guys....

Will the servers be water cooled ?

We like humor.

One day all of GFY will salute you, and Japanese girls everywhere (in Japan) will sing songs of praise in your honor (not that they will necessarily understand the words that they are singing).

Here is the "We're Number One (Ichiban)" GFY salute that I have been trying to teach during my vast travels in the land of the rising yen...I think I can be a valuable liaison if you guys bring me on board.

I'm thinking this will catch on big time...

ADG Webmaster

Actually, one of the subsidiaries of one of our investor companies developed cryogenically cooled server cabinets a little over a year ago, so chances are we'll be using that. :2 cents:

Space for one more server on my rig:

The other one is in the repair shop :disgust

Ours is a 5th generation deepwater, that one looks like a High-Specification Semisubmersible (no pun intended).

Did I mention that I have webbed feet?

ADG Webmaster

I think you might have on October 25, 2002.

That was the day when Dan Aykroyd revealed publically that he had webbed feet. It was a special day for all of us similarly afflicted/gifted...

God Bless Dan Aykroyd!!!

That is some sweet stuff ! I'm laughing thinking about this very hard LOL. I wonder what your new host co will be called

http://chiohost.com or sharkyfartshost.com lol

A sneak peak at the logo concept. I am thinking it needs a bit more bulb, what do I know, that's for the marketing guys to figure out.

I'll have Chio post a draft of the logo we just got back from the marketing people, hang on.

He beat me to it.

Bubble eye fish are a sign of good luck in some Asian cultures...I think your Japanese partners will like this...

Anyone see the irony of "the pirate" creating a host on the open waters? lol
Good luck with it guys! I want to come visit. :)

I'm simply providing some working capital from some NL accounts of mine. Shoehorn was the idea man, and his drive, and determination are what brought this project to light.

When Fishbulbs.com launches I think you'll all wish you ate more milk, and cookies. That's Shoehorns secret to some really great business models.

Someone already tried this on an abandoned military installation in the north sea.

I didn't mean to take the spotlight off Shoehorn. Major props to both you guys.

That's quite different actually. The people who started that were more trying to start a vigilante hosting company.

Cow and dolphin is similarily different...

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

I'm lost on this one. Will the servers be the oil rig and someone there to monitor them? and what do you plan to gain from doing this?

I love Social Distortion's version of "Ring of Fire":

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by one's desire
I fell down into a ring of fire

Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like ours meet
I hide before you like a child
Ohhh but the fire went wild

Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire and it burns

Chrous:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring or fire that ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like ours meet
I hide before you like a child
Ohhh but the fire went wild

Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire

(One more time)

Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire

HELL 'YA!!!

I also shot the Sheriff, but I did not shoot the Deputy.

Definately.
