// AlphaConsumerServices.com // WordPress stripped down to HTML

They’ll provide what is lacking. They provide everything.

Alpha Consumer Services is a fictional company from the movie Killing Heat, where protagonists Gordon Goldman and John Walker rake in their dollars. It’s a fun little tie-in from my old pretend-verse-building days, and home to some of the greatest video ads ever made for the Alpha Consumer Card (available in Gold and Platinum, obviously).

The 2010 Version of Alpha Consumer Services.

Originally originally in 2010, the website was something super simple with PHP fetching static HTML, but around 2015 I recreated the whole thing in WordPress, with my custom WP-theme built on Bootstrap 3. Rather than having to maintain an 11-year -old WordPress install and the very outdated functions in my theme, I scraped the site down to HTML with HTTrack Website Copier. No plugins, no database, no PHP-meddling, just pure static.

Claude then got to work converting it to Eleventy, keeping everything intact, while functionality like AJAX content fetching and such got upgraded to more robust standards. ACS is a rather static site, and should I need to update or add a press release, the Eleventy setup makes that very easy. I can just write it in VSCode, no need for a GUI.

Eleventy also writes a straightforward sitemap. Not that ACS is a big website, though for testing and debugging purposes, I like having a page with all links within the site, so I can flip through each of them. When you got lots of nested pages within categories and tags, I especially, lose track of where the Effrey Epstein I was.

Kenny Wang handtyped much of the content long before LLMs, which is quite impressive when you read pages such as Site Terms, Privacy Policy, or FAQ. The lengths he went to just for this fictional company is over level 6000 autisme. It still reads better than Grok trying to write the same type of Privacy Policy…

// Meloslave.com // The First Real Project of 2026

Out of all the domains at my fingertips, Meloslave.com was the most straightforward project to approach. I needed a quick fix, a site that could go live fast without too many distractions or variable factors to contemplate. Glenn Thomas Andersen being an artist, musician and a DJ, my first thought was that Meloslave.com needed a linktree (link in bio). His main activity is on Spotify, where people stream his  music (he has 3.8K monthly listeners), so you don’t really need an elaborate website with pages, posts or galleries. You can find all of that on Meloslave’s social media accounts, hence the linktree.

The main goal was to figure out video playback as a background, together with social media sharing details, which I must say is rather easy with Grok and Claude at my disposal. Grok may not be perfect, but he does all the heavy lifting, all the noise and chatter, then I ask Claude to refine. Actually, I did ask Chad too… and while he does have good input, my attitude towards The Woke Chad is mostly fuck off. Come to think of it, are alle the LLMs male?

Doing a new thing here where I just link directly to the files on Meloslave.com. Should that work? Weird that it worked… I might have to learn GitHub, eventually.

Did you know? The video used in background was shot on location in Thailand. Click here to see the music video!

Added code reviewed by Claude into post, rather than fetching from file.

Jack Daniel’S Silver Select

Comments lost in time…

So, as you all probably understood, or will by reading this post, I want to buy a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Silver Select. In Thailand.

Would seem possible, right? It’s the land of everything. Except this bottle of JD. I’ve bought it before in the King Power’s Duty Free Shop at the airport, though leaving the country for a bottle of JD is too much hassle. I’ve asked at the Wine Shop or whatever they call it at Siam Paragon, but they said they didn’t have it, which I could see with my own eyes. So I asked if they could order it, to which they replied that it was impossible buy this bottle in Thailand. Hmmm, the biggest and most expensive shopping mall in the capital of Thailand can’t order this bottle?!

So, if anyone could help me out here, I’d love a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Silver Select and I need it by 14th of January!

Lord. All this auto-quoting is make me insane. But yes, thanks for the suggestion. They did in fact suggest the same bottle at Siam Paragon. I might even try it, seeing as how I’m an alcoholic quitting alcohol for the 7th time this year… Anywho, I don’t really care about the taste, flavor, alcohol percentage, price or whatever, I just need this specific bottle, with it’s correct contents. It’s a gift you see, and gifts can’t be random, they need to be specific, if they are not, the effect of the gift is gone, and with the effect gone, the gift is useless. It’s like giving the wrong amount of roses, if you follow me. If you don’t follow me, don’t give roses.

Guess I’ll just bring a wad of cash to the airport and wave in front of some police officers…
