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...
