Virus Hunting...
Actually, I was doing some security scans - came across this virus: W32/Opaserv-F in the wild...
More than a few machines I've come across have been infected... More than 1 is bad to me...
So, go check c:\ and make sure there isn't a file called: gay.ini
If so - bingo - you've got it too...
Why?
Do you have Filesharing on? Thru Windows Networking?
Is your computer on the internet?
IF you said yes to both those questions...
Shut off the filesharing through network properties...
Get a virus scanner too!
Really...!
Firewalls are nice as well... There are a few freebies available... Do a search for free firewall...

New Law proposed - Big Brother coming to a PC near you - or Yours
As was reported last night by Matt Drudge - a new bill was proposed on Thursday in the House: HR-2517, the Piracy Deterrence and Education Act of 2003.
Here is the interesting bit:
Upon passing - The FBI will be allowed to go onto P2P File sharing networks and gather information for prosecution...
Just what we need - not only do we have "virtual bomb" technology in the works a-la- Senator Hatch's ideas - 3rd strike and your PC is Out - literally...
The Internet - got anonymity?

Ugh
Why do I do things the hard way?
Current Project:
Setup .NET server and PVS3
Sounds good...
Installed Net server and PVS 3... in less than 2 hours - it was up and running... Or so I thought...
The video card is giving me issues... Grrr... TNT2 card - needs to be replaced...
I will get this working...
Somehow someway... This will work.

Some news of note:
I am always looking to enhance the experience of this blog - so expect to see changes...
2 recent changes:
Comments! - I almost switched servers to get this - but I implemented it here ;>
Links are now active as well - look above Archives on the Right side..
Only 1 for the moment... More to come.
----
Today is apparently the best of the 3 day weekend - for weather - which is Good...
We have a cook-out at the in-laws to go to, so that will be a lot of fun!
Tomorrow is another story - I've been hearing about lots of rain... But hopefully we can make it to the parade anyway..
Happy Memorial Day Weekend All!
Not exactly good weather for Flag flying... Too bad.
Thank a Vet! They will appreciate it...
And remember those that went before... They made this country how it is today - Free!!

Jayson Blair...
He's such a joke...
I don't even know why I'm bothering to say ANYTHING about him...
If he gets a book deal... That just Won't be right!
Good poster-boy for all the up-and-coming teens / college kids - lie like a rug, play everyone, and you can do anything you want.
And consider getting rewarded for this conduct? (Financially speaking...)
UGH!!!!!!!!!! and ARRRRGH!
He deserves a big WHATEVER!
This topic makes me sick. Enough of that.
----
The Tax plan - Passed Though the House yesterday - Actually... Both the Senate and House - since they ended their day at 2am!
Nice Job!
It may not be Exactly what our President was looking for - it's at least a Big step in the Right direction...
----
Local Politics:
Gov. Rowland signed the Smoking Ban into law yesterday. At first - I was aggravated - I was not aware of its existence!! Until it was too late that is...
However, I think it's a good idea - despite the joy I had of going to a Bar, having a drink and a smoke... But, that isn't something I do regularly - and will be quitting the habit Anyway. So, until April 2004 - Smoke up everyone... "Enjoy" it while it lasts...
Side note - from a clip I heard, it actually sounds like (deep down inside) he did not agree with the legislation - but its the "Everyone Else Is Doing It" mantra that got him to do the deed.
That's all for now...

Illegal Immigration.
That just Pisses me off!
They are able to get some type of ID from the Mexican Government - then are able to get:
Bank Accounts
Driver's Licenses
and an assortment of other things.
And - some states are allowing Them to get In-State pricing for College??
Give me a break!!
This NEEDS to stop!

Started a project today... This has been on my "todo list" for years....
We don't have a driveway at our place, currently it's just dirt - when we moved in, it was grass...
So, getting ready to plant some flower-seeds in the back yard, I started turning the dirt in a nice spot... Low and behold - large patio bricks...
Dug up a majority of these bricks, which apparently span the side of our back yard, I prepped this area to be re-seeded...
Took the bricks from this area and brought them to the front to make a boarder for the driveway...
So far so good..
Next step - figure out what material to fillin the area.. Then dig up the area to make it as level as possible..
Then viola - a driveway. At least I started it.

Another day bites the dust...
Mother's Day...
Went very smoothly! A Happy day.
Despite the odd start of the day, overall - it went very well..
My wife enjoyed her cards/gifts this morning... The kids were practicing "Happy Mother's Day" - it was cute...
Left the house On Time - without fuss and all! That - is a record.
Here we are at home... Kids are sleeping... Sometimes it pays to go out almost all day...
Almost TV time... Simpsons and Malcom are queued up... even with the schedule change, I didn't miss Malcom... yay..
TV Life without TiVo - impossible.
I really don't think I'd watch TV without that lovely technology... Not that I watch all that much, mind you... Only a few shows are recorded / day... That space is treated like Gold - I tell you! ;>
Tomorrow is another day.

Another day almost over...
But today is not like any other day... It's Saturday...
Relax at home day...
No school / daycare for the kids...
Some cartoons and fooling aound..
We were outside for a good amount of time - its a record - outside by 11am..
I was impressed anyway.
A short jaunt of "secret shopping" - tomorrow IS Mother's Day after all...
"Don't get me a present" she says tonight...
heheh
Cleaned out the car today - it really did need it.. Well, I started to anyhow - both inside and the Trunk from....you know...
Why is it - when you clean your car, do you think "I can't believe I let it get like That. I'm gonna keep it like This from now on."
Time goes on...
It gets like That again.
My new catch phrase - "That Happens"
And so it goes......

Thus it begins... and ends... at the same time...
To understand me - it's not going to be an easy ride - so get strapped in, keep your hands and feet in the car at all times...
Wondering about the title?
If you recognize it, fine - you may have a better understanding than most..
If not - let me enlighten you - it comes from the opening of the show Daria.
I am the male version of Daria - as I have come to figure out... If I blogged before, say a few days ago - it would have come out then...
Asside from that, everyone else is doing it {Blogging}, so why not I - I can type, but I can't seem to vocalize my thoughts... This seems to be a good thing - we shall see..
