| Computers vs Morons Round 2 |
| 01.28.05 (6:55 am) [edit] |
Well it's seems MU2 came in last night while I was troubleshooting another computer & requested that I put on some of the programs that got lost in the reformat process. Now what pisses me off, is before I finished MU1/MU2's computer (I was about 99% done), I made a call to make sure of any changes and/or adds to the computer's software. I usually add the following to a client's computer. A free antivirus program (AVG - www.grisoft.com - download the free version), all the updates are free, this saves the client money, a free antispyware program (Usually Ad-aware, all updates are free). So I don't try & screw a client, I actually try to save them money up front & in the long run.
But before I start or I'm about finish a job, I usually talk directly to the client about what needs to be done, what they can expect from me(all options good & bad), when they can expect the computer back. In turn I ask what they want saved if I can save any information, what they want reinstalled if anything & what they expect.
Automattically I stated to MU2 that I asked, you didn't mention anything other than what I put on & YOU wanted to reinstall items you said you had a disk for. MU2 voice started to rais saying at the time MU2 couldn't think straight. I'm thinking, oh great, this shrill voice bitch has a computer, picked MU1 off the internet & NOW admits IT can't fucking think.
So to calm things down I told MU2 to make a list of software that IT reinstalled, write it down, then bring in said computer & I would personally make sure everything is set right this time around.
I really loathe stupid people, morons & just plain idiots & I'm really going to ask the next person who even remotely fits this profile, where your are your parents to be like this because I want to thank them for really showing me that genetic inbreeding does.

| Sled Warning Label - What A Joke. |
| 01.21.05 (9:02 pm) [edit] |
It's been cold here, not that cold for me but cold for others. So I decided to go out sledding. Not a bad thing to do, but when did sleds come with warnings?
That is right, my new neon green mean machine came with a warning that I should wear goggles , maybe helmet because it increases speed on the way down. Now I thought well, duh? That is the reason you go down a hill, so you can smack into people coming up the hill, to watch bodies flaying around you & others trying to get out of your way. Ahhhh the carnage of winter.
It also says on this little warning label that I should avoid fixed objects, like trees.
I know there was some person in the R & D dept. who thought, if they took this sled down fast enough they would reach the speed of light & turn into pure energy & go thru the tree. Of course you know that someone probably tried it out & failed to go thru the tree let around the tree. The person who probably tried this was drunk at the time & has a bump on the head that wont go away for a very long time.
I don't really know who makes these warning labels for sleds, but I'm hoping that they understand the dynamics of having fun with out any goggles, helmets or idiots around.
But I doubt it.

| Computer vs. Morons Round 1 |
| 01.18.05 (8:56 am) [edit] |
Makes you wonder why some people have computers when there are perfectly good shiney rocks going to waste out there in the world.
How does this relate, I'm glad you asked. I was freelancing doing a freebie computer for a sibling of mine when a customer came in (actually a friend of the store owner where I freelance...let's call this person Moron User 1...MU1 & there other half MU2) with there tower & said I don't know what's wrong.
Okay fair enough, some people don't know what's wrong initially, that's where I come in, so I asked what we're you doing when it decided to die on you.
MU1 answered I was trying to get on my computer.
Okay I replied, let's back that up a bit more, what were you doing before that.
MU1 replied was *I turned on my computer.
My reply, "Okay what did you do on the web before it died?", sometimes I forget you have to be real specific when dealing with MU.
OH that, well MU2 said the antivirus said we got a trojan.
Well now isn't that a nice, how did i know that was going to be a possible answer.
So I hooked up the infected pc & yes to MU1 credibility I couldn't get on in normal or safemode.
Seems MU1 or MU2 may have gotten more than a just a trojan but a worm. A worm is more nasty than just a simple trojan virus. It seems the Lsass file is/may still be infected but it is corrupted.
I asked MU1 if they had any discs that came with the computer (it's always good to have these stored in safe place). I knew this was coming next, MU1 said I really dont know where they are. I guess we cant all be smart users.
Well I pop in a disc I have, it goes thru the usual log in modes & then goes into recovery mode, then it asks for a admin pw, to which for MU1 computer I dont have, so I ask do you know your password. MU1 Mu2 don't know. Great.
So I make a suggestion that worse comes to worse, formating & reinstalling the OS so they have a clean system. MU1 says if thats an option thats good but MU2 may not like that, so I called MU2 & explained the options.
I also asked what important data may be lost, I always ask this just in case the have finicial records, personal data, pics & they understand that the reformatting a HD wipes all information out & to understand that they might want to start contacting people they do finicial stuff online with.
MU2 gave the go ahead Then MU2 asked how long before they get the computer back, I replied 24-48 hours.
MU1 was okay with it, MU2 was pissed & said if you want to take to another place go ahead, I'm sure they'll charge you more than *your friends* here will, also I guess this was MU2 source of life. It's also how MU2 met MU1.
The Internet bringing morons together since they cant get laid on there own.
Now I have things I have to get done, so does the team I work with, our clients understand that & are really cool with that. They give us a week to work the computers. usually we finish it up in 3 days. But never a complaint about when we finish.
I asked MU2 why wasnt anything backed up, pics, documents, to the which I got the following answer..just never got around to it. I said we have a word for that it's called being Lazy & it really bit you in the ass this time.
Okay I've ranted about this long enough but there are 2 points to be made here.
1. Always back up files, pictures, documents, anything that you dont want wiped out or in case of a virus getting into your computer.
2. Make sure you have your original discs that came with the computer/hardware & there in a safe place. This will actually help you if you need to reinstall something that may get corrupted on your computer.
Whatever you call them morons, idiots, fools, everyone deals with them on a daily basis. It just seems I found the motherlode, they have computers & they won't leave me alone.

| Void Good Week If Anything Good Were To Happen |
| 01.16.05 (3:04 pm) [edit] |
This week totally blew chunks.
How?
1. My car got broke into, the asshole(s) took my 80's cd Hair Metal collection. Motley Crue Live in Concert, Alice Cooper Live in Concert, Vixen, Poison, Dokken,Metallica,Megadeth , a few remix of tunes done by other artists, like Alice Cooper doing Jimi Hendrix, Sam Kinison doing Wild thing, Mississippi Queen & Under My Thumb. You get the idea.
2. Well you can't play CDs without a CD Player & you also need the Tape Kit that went with it. Yup they got that.
3. My little one got a burn on the hand by touching the stove & me being ingnorant. I felt so stupid for it happening. It won't happen again.
4. Me & my little one went sledding, we took a small mogul, lost balance, rolled, got a bumped noggin. Just didn't see the mogul till it was too late & it was bitterly cold outside. So anything hurt related was maginified in the eyes of a child.
5. I was working on 2 computers for a family member, they both fried. They were old systems, but nonetheless they picked the time to choke while I was working on them.
6. Found out the lighting fixture I was working on may not be the wiring after I took it all apart but the lightbulb fixture itself. Time wasted there.
So as this week closes out, I'm going to raise a glass of whiskey & cola, say a toast that may go like this.."May the ghosts of this week haunt someone else, because if you ever grace my presences again, I'm gonna burn the entire world to a cinder or get drunk until I fall asleep into a blissful coma.*

| Dealing With Computers, Idiots & Passwords. |
| 01.14.05 (5:06 am) [edit] |
Okay along the lines of why you should always memorize your password vs. save it to whatever website or program your using. This is called now get this....common sense.
What do I mean. Well it goes something like this. I just set up a client of mines computer & was saying it isnt really a good idea to save your password if your going to have your children around the computer. Why? Well as I explained, you the user step away to do something or they want to play a game on the computer. Well like most kids will do, they'll start clicking away & they could start programs without them really understanding what they're clicking (Instant Messaging programs for instance). Now let's just say your friends get on and start sending you porno pics or send you a link to a something thats less than pleasant to look at on the web. Well that little mind is going to start asking questions, like *Why is that man being pushed from behind by that other man?*
One other reason, where I freelance, we rebuild computers we get from sales & people who just don't want them anymore. Well my partner and I like to see what is on the computer. Oh we find the usual, music, family pics & the usual porn sometimes. But on this one occassion we found that someone used a certain ISP (AOHELL) & had the password saved. Hooked up a network line & found out the account was still active. From a hackers point, this was a goldmine, not to mention identity theft goldmine. Then I wanted to see if the IM program(YAHELL) was the same. Yes. I walked right in just because someone saved thier password. Well, then let's go one further, accessed the email option. Once again, I was in like a virgin on prom night. I could read any & all mail, including a name & password notification related to another website. In case your wondering, the information on the computer will be completely erased when the hard drive is reformatted.
So see I'm not that evil when it comes to all idiots.
So the lesson here my dear reader(s) is that if your going use a computer, be on the web, use some common sense. The world is full idiots & I really hate to see the population increase by one because they don't really don't think about what the digital age is really capable of.

| Old In A New Way |
| 01.12.05 (3:18 am) [edit] |
IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE & FIND THINGS IN THIS MODERN AGE OF PSUEDO TECHNO REFURBISHED. WHAT SEEMS NEW IS JUST ACTUALLY OLD BUT REVAMPED IN THIS AGE OF DIGITAL.
WHAT??? HOW DO YOU MEAN. OK HERE IS AN EXAMPLE. I WAS A DOING SOME FREELANCE WORK WITH A FRIEND & MY FRIEND WAS GOING THRU SOME *BLANK* CDS. SINCE WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS ON THEM, I WAS TOLD TO SEE WHAT WAS ON THEM.
WELL IT TOOK A WHILE FOR A CERTAIN CD TO LOAD UP, SO I WENT BACK TO TROUBLE SHOOTING ANOTHER COMPUTER. WHEN I TURNED AROUND I NOTICED ON THE CD THERE WERE 3 FILE FOLDERS. OKAY I WAS WONDERING WHAT WAS IN THEM. SO I DID A VIRUS SCAN, OKAY THE FILES WERE CLEAN (YES EVEN ON A CD YOU PUT A VIRUS ON IT.), SO I DECIDED TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THEM.
NAKED PICTURES. NOT JUST 1 OR 2 BUT OVER 500 PICTURES OF SOME WOMAN, A FEMALE FRIEND & 1 OR 2 OF WHAT SEEM TO BE HER PARTNER MIXED WITH SOME FAMILY SHOTS. SOME *GLAZED* SHOTS, BUT MOSTLY POSES.
WOULDN'T HAVE MINDED BUT SHE WASN'T THAT PRETTY WELL TO ME AT LEAST. WELL MY FRIEND & I JUST LOOK AT THESE, LAUGHED & TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHO THESE PEOPLE WHERE. YES THAT'S RIGHT, WE TRIED TO FIGURE WHO THE PEOPLE WERE SO WE COULD GIVE THEM BACK THE DISC. RATHER THAN JUST RUN INTO THEM ACCIDENTLY ON THE STREET AND SAY *HEY THIS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE WITH ALL YOUR CLOTHES ON & A CLEAN FACE*. NOT SURE IF I REALLY WANT TO SEE THESE PEOPLE WITH THERE CLOTHES ON EITHER.
MY POINT IN BLOGGING ABOUT THIS IS, IF YOUR GOING TO TAKE REVEALING SHOTS OF YOU OR WHOEVER & WANT TO KEEP IT A SECRET. REMEMBER TO HIDE THE DISC, ENCRYPT THE DISC FILES OR JUST PLAIN DESTROY IT BY BURNING IT OR BREAKING IT.
JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS OF CAMERA & FILM, DIDNT WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR *OTHER* LIFE, YOU COULD SIMPLY DESTROY THE EVIDENCE.
I GUESS MOST PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT THAT WHEN TAKING COMPROMISING PICTURES OF THEMSELVES & DON'T THINK ANYONE IS GOING TO SEE THEM.

| Intentions That Not May Be Met. |
| 01.05.05 (6:49 am) [edit] |
Well 2k4 was certainly interesting. I think with the 2k5 that things tend not to be so exciting in the *guess who died* dept.
Now on for what seems to be like the endless theme on some peoples mind with the onslaught of well wishes for the new year. Resolutions.
1. Procastinate even less - yes I know it's ironic that Im blogging this after the 1st. But I am making the effort.
2. Read more. I do alot of reading as is but I'm going to broaden it to encompass more finicial reading & more hacking news.
3. Network more for my friends & clients. My friends are very set in their careers but very limited in their contacts. Now I get the basic contacts everyday so if I can lead them to the right people then it's a bonus for me. No not finicially, I wish but more as of a friend deal. Of course the sinister dark plan is, when they make it rich, I can sponge off them.
4. Mod a computer. While not entirely too hard to do, just takes time to do. Also working on a theme right now. Just got to get it all set up first then go from there. Where ever there is.
5. Clean up computer area. It's a chaos order, but to outsiders it's a mess. Mortals.
6. Work on some graphic designs for my blog & header. Since I dumped my old ISP, my FTP site went with it, along with that FTP was my header which was stored there. So time to design a new one.
Along with blogging a bit more often.
7. Loose weight. Yeah Yeah like this isnt the usual plight of someone at the beginning of the new year. For me tho, I like to cook & eat. A curse since I know my way around a kitchen. A blessing because I can cook from scratch & I never go hungry unless I just feel like procastinating.
8. The biggie of all. Be a little more tolerable of new computer users, friends, & family members & morons. Morons includes those I've left out or that fall into the category of computer users, friends & family members.
Well like it all says on the bottom of any warranty, any part or all of the above is subject to change at any point in time.
Good luck to you & your goals this year. Remember if you didnt succeed at fulfilling them from last year, blame it on someone else or whatever works for ya.
