Truly amazed I am…

That I am still getting emails like this:


Norton AntiVirus removed the attachment: my_details.pif.
The W32.Netsky.K@mm threat was detected in the attachment.


First of all, you can download the fix for this one here.

Next, why aren’t you using some kind of anti-virus software? I mean, really. You don’t have a spare $50 to get a copy of Norton? You don’t know someone that can ‘hook you up’ with a copy? C’mon now.

If you are someone elses ‘computer’ person, you are making sure that they are well protected, right? Especially your broadband users? I know that you have already upgraded them to Mozilla Firefox right? And they are running either behind a router or you have installed decent firewall software for them, right?

Ok, just making sure.

blogger changes…again

So, they changed the create a post page again. Not as cheesy as it was before. Anc publishing seems to be working again. Maybe I’ll hold off on moving this to wordpress for the time being…

New Gateway equipment started arriving yesterday. Only 2 of the workstation, plus the 2 LCD monitors came in. I hope the rest, including the new server, arrive today.

Big manager meeting last night. Surprisingly, labor laws weren’t covered (again). Instead, it was all about selling. Finally, something that I know something about!

But, they didn’t bother to teach any of the managers how to best train their employees to sell. There were no how’s or why’s. It was more like a script that they are supposed to follow. But, they had to spend 10 minutes fixing typos on the script. Sheesh.

It’s all about the training. You can tell someone a million times to do something, but if they do not know how, there is a pretty good chance that they won’t get it done. This includes selling.

I could go on about this all day, but I’ll spare you the details. I’ll save this for another time.

odd search ref

Can you believe that someone searched for:


keywords=db%20porn&xargs=02u3hs9yoakcstsjw
zafaawqkwcgsnjbxba0mjba4kcbgvqazl25bfwkgmagkl%2bauo

And then clicked the link to come to w(t)f? Have any of you seen this here? If so, could you maybe point it out to me?

I just realized…

That what I really need is a personal assistant!

You know, to run errands, answer and start phone calls, stuff like that.

That is all

I moved!

Well, no, I didn’t really. But, as of Saturday, I no longer live in the 909! w00t!!!1! Sure it still rains dirt. Oh yea, meth labs abound too. Trailers? Yea, those are still there too. Crappy cars? Yep. Long ass commute to civilization? Yea, still have that also.

Too bad the area code change only changes a number…
