Virus and worm writers suck… This stuff gets really annoying really quickly. The latest worm picks on Microsoft SQL server. Don’t think we have many installations here. However, between 4 and 6 AM on a Sunday morning we had an average 30% utilization of our bandwith? That is down from 80 – 100% utilization yesterday afternoon. Could…
Got a kick out of these emails. My favorite parts are bolded. Hey there, I’m nnnnnn. I got your email address from a friend and thought I’d get in touch. I’m kind of new to this whole thing, the internet and meeting people on the internet. I thought I’d tell you a little about myself,…
I push my computer very hard… Average around 500 emails a day. Usually have no less than 10 windows open after an hour of using it. Average probably 20 during most of the day. My average memory usage is 300 MB. I do try to avoid some performance hogs. For instance, I am not running…
I find myself wanting to give Netscape the benefit of the doubt and give it another try. The browser offially sucks now in my opinion. Now, I do not have by any means a slow machine at work:Â 1.4 GHz, 256 MB RAM, Ultra ATA 100 7200 RPMÂ hard drive. On this machine, the browser crawls.…

Windows XP sux. I like Windows 2000 better. Much better. One of the things that annoys me is how IE6 behaves. When I click on a link, the text on that line becomes smaller. Huh? Why? Think I am going to phase out this blog site. Maybe make it my backup for my Xanga site. Anyway,…
I like Mozilla. Found Blogzilla, a blog by one of the developers. He had all kinds of tricks. My favorite is the ability to reject pictures from known advertisers. With the right click menu I can add to this list.
This is newly posted in my work web site’s guest book. “Guest book spammers whose message contains any form of advertisement for a web site I deem to be commercial will find the entry deleted at MY convenience.” Sorry… I don’t like being spammed. I get close to a thousand emails a day. I consider spam…
Two days in a row I have gotten emails that look like people testing whether or not I have a legitimate email address. Wish there was a plugin for my email program in which my filter could use to send a fake bounce message. The database works!! I actually connected to it. Now to create…
