"Free Stuff" explored

So a couple of friends and I are trying this out. If you want to help me participate (you only have to sign up for an offer, then you can CANCEL it!), click here. It's a free ipod I'm trying for right now. If this works, I'm going to try the Free Mac Mini. I'll get all seven - yes seven - of my kids computers yet! MrNerd

RSA: Microsoft on 'rootkits': Be afraid, be very afraid - Computerworld

Honestly!

I personally think I'm going to be exclusive to linux or the bsd variants soon - "new" rootkits? When Microsoft warns that it's going to be vulnerable, it's time to worry about what is happening on your computer.

Valentine Musings

Today is the day I think and talk about my wife. I've known many people, but my wife Phyllis is the nicest I've ever known. She really and truly cares about people, and I often see her cry (when she thinks I'm not looking) over some small injustice done - even if it's just in a commercial! I hereby dedicate this day to my wife, my love,

My Heart beats for you Phyllis

Having said that, let me wish all of you a wonderful Valentine's Day - hope Cupid's arrows find you the way they found me!

Slashdot | Internet Broadcasting Makes A Comeback

Slashdot | Internet Broadcasting Makes A Comeback: "Web Logging and Podcasting are the ultimate in ego masturbation. People can now fill their pointless lives with other people pointless lives. I'm not sure if this is the Internet analogue of the rise in reality TV or if some deeper societal shift has led to both Web Logging and reality TV equaly." Good Golly you mean blogging here is like masturbation? How did I resist so long? MrNerd

Redefining Renumeration

wage: something that remunerates; "wages were paid by check"; "he wasted his pay on drink"; "they saved a quarter of all their earnings"

   Well, after much disgust, I figured out how to make the AdSense content show up: paste, save, post, republish. I would preview, and it would look like crap. I would change it, and it would look like crap. So.. check out the wonderful little ad down at the bottom right of my page, and keep clicking ok? I want mo' money.

   I applied for a new position at the company I work for today. It's in a supervisory capacity, which really seems strange to me, because I've been trying to dedicate my life to technology jobs. The pay is just too much better - 50% more, in fact! I gotta have it. I'm tired - I was on my feet all day today, and I'm an old nerd. I need my rest... I'm going to leave all five of my computers run and go to bed. Sleep tite folks.. or loose.. whatever floats yer boat!

Tantric Testing

Definitions of tantrism on the Web:

movement within Buddhism combining elements of Hinduism and paganism

Tantra: doctrine of enlightenment as the realization of the oneness of one's self and the visible world; combines elements of Hinduism and paganism including magical and mystical elements like mantras and mudras and erotic rites; especially influential in Tibet

---

And thus ends my testing for this broadcast day.  (No, there was nothing really Tantric about it, but Tantric starts with a "T" 'and that rhymes with P and that.. sorry.)

I know this is going to look funny - but I want to test this new program for helping me blog: ChronicleLight
I'm hoping it will make it more fun - maybe it's me, but the wysiwyg editor in blogger.com seems... not quite done.

Let me know if this looks strange. I have another one to try out when I have some more time.

Expanding Effluence.. er... Affluence.

Well, I finally made a few minutes to come back here. So I've been reading about how to get free technology - ipods and macmini (Remember I mentioned them in my first post?). I'm considering getting some of that free sh**!! If you want some, send me some email - we'll get together and figure out how to get what we want. It really is real - send me email and I'll tell you about it. I don't have much more to talk about.. except.. Did you hear about this... First Artificial Aurora May Lead to Night Sky Ads Next thing you know, we'll have 30 mile high neon ads. (links to slashdot journal - news for nerds, but not the easily offended.) Anyhow.. hope you're all doing well - leave me a comment or two. *S* MrNerd
