Anyway...

It's my birthday.

Yep.

That's about it.

Well, had an interview last night.. nice company!

Hope all works out... I wouldn't mind joining the team..

The Family tree... what a tree it would be - if I could see... it.. ;>

Just doing a bit of research... and so many are out there... Feel free to contact me if ya like..

Ciao for now

Spy Kids 3D...

What a cool movie!

It was nice going to a movie with the family... Something we don't often get the chance to do...

but the kids really wanted to see this one - and its something you need to see in the theatre...

Go see it...

It's pretty neat! ;>

Ticked... Annoyed... Dismay...

Why I checked the mail today... I don't know why I bother...

Got a letter from the Town Of West Hartford...

Thought - ooh, good news - I applied for a position with them in the beginning of June...

Delays...

Finally the end result "We are no longer offering this position" blah blah blah.

For those who don't know - I've been looking for full time work for over a year now - but I do have a consulting business - but with little or no clients - it does not work so well!

Why I'm having these problems - I don't know...

You would think, for someone with over 10 years of experience, an IT position somewhere would not be a problem. Think again.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I'm running low on thoughts these days.

This just Sucks.

Anyone care to offer me a position? Feel free to get in contact with me ;>

Or I can simply make your machines run better by doing some consulting work...

Either way is fine with me.

TTYL.

You Sent Me A Virus! Have A Nice Day!

Read that...!

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?

For real...

Nicely I may add...

Ugh


Why do I do things the hard way?

Current Project:

Setup .NET server and PVS3

Installed Net server and PVS 3... in less than 2 hours - it was up and running... Or so I thought...

Somehow someway... This will work.
