The names have been changed...
Another one joins the bandwagon. Read the first entry, 'Pause'. Not sure if he's gonna keep up the pace of his blogging at 5 entries a day.
Just a sample, "Yes, I might miss my sister, but she's gone to a better place (yeah right)."
And from the "I will not use actual names here..." section...
[Update: In the intrest of fairness here's more blogs.]
More on this later...
I never saw the similarity between Judge Moore not removing the Ten Commandments and racist state schools until the New York Times did it's job of not reporting opinions but facts. Right. "...by announcing that he will obey the law." And what law would that be? Hmmm?
And that law would be? Hmmm?
It would? How? The constitutions of the United States and Alabama do not allow such a rulling to be made. Obeying the federal court would violate his oath.
[Update: for those interested more links.]
And this should be read.
Virus Bug
Okay, now that's funny. Stupid wanna be hackers. That guy's got to feel a little silly.
Wondering
I'm intermittently working on DynaSite2 – Objects Unleashed. While working on this, I wonder. Should my object/module based approach to web design and rapid site development have objects outputting formated HTML, or should they output XML and require an XSL style sheet 'transform' the data into HTML and CSS? Maybe both? Ah...the decisions we programmers must make. Well, enough of that tedious work – I'm going to play Command and Conquer Generals.
Schwarzagovernor
Well, Schwarzenegger announced today that he's running for Governor. Along with half the population of California. Must admit - it'd be interesting to see what he does if he gets elected. It's not like he'd get into politics for the money or power - he's like already got that.
Here's what he has to say to Davis - "Hasta la vista baby." Yeah - that's a quote. Listening to his announcement tonight - it seems like he has a decent platform. Definitely not that 'political', but seems to know what his talking about. Another quote, "I have enough money, no one can pay me off." He, he, he. On Hillary's comment supporting Davis - "She is a democrat, what else is she going to say?"
And we all know what happens if he doesn't win. Yeah - that's right - "I'll be back."
Interesting note - his wife is a democrat, and of course you know he's a republican.
Ouch!
I hurt my finger playing the piano.
Why do I tell you that? Why do I post it? Simple. Because I can.
And I have to get up early tomorrow to help with a paper route - like 5 o'clock. Should I even go to bed?
Well, Good night.
jdbgmgr.exe
To everyone. jdbgmgr.exe is not a virus. It's just a harmless little Java debugger. No, I don't know why it has a bear icon. You want proof it's not a virus? Here's proof. And more proof.
For future reference – if there's a known virus, McAfee and Norton do detect it – just update you virus definitions. I mean, what do you think would happen? “Oh, look there's a new virus and out scanners don't detect it. Let's not update our definitions to find it.” C'mon, you can find it by doing a search, and the guys who develop the algorithms for heuristic scanning can't find it? I think not. And yeah – they knew about the virus before the person who forwarded that message to you did. They get paid to know.
So don't believe the friend who got it from a friend who heard from a friend who's second cousin's grandma's bridge club partner had her whole computer and the disks lying near it erased. Not to mention her CDs scratched, and her goldfish died, and...
[Note: This post was done in a spirit of humor. Please don't hate me 'cause I'm right. I just find it funny how much trust is placed in a mass forwarded e-mail. Enough to start deleting files from your computer? At that point you're the virus, and your the one spreading the virus. Think about it.]
Googled
Was clicking around google - I do that every once and a while to see what new things they've come up with - and found, yes, some interesting stuff. Real stuff. I think I'm gonna get me one of these. Why? 'Cause it looks cool.
Google Answers seems to be doing rather well. When they start accepting researcher applications again I think I may send one in.
Probably the most well received form of online advertisement is Google 'Ad Words'. Well, they've just got better. Now your site can benefit from the concept of non-obtrusive, content related ads. Yep - now the ads aren't just based on search keyword, they're based on the content of your page.
In my googleing travels I stopped by Froogle and did this search. I may need to buy a few of those. I'm running low on my supply.
The newest thing from the Labs is Google Compute - a part of the Toolbar. And if you don't have the new beta yet - you should. If only for the pop-up blocking features.
And if you're using a Cell Phone or PDA there's Google Wireless. Or you could just call them. Whatever.
[Update: Personal Sites can not participate in the new Google Ad Sense program. Arg.]
Comments Revisited
I got it. Lloyd and Harry, and their new friend Peety are commenting - you ready for this - because they don't have a blog. Hmmm. They are vicariously 'posting' to their 'blog' by commenting on my posts, on my blog. Maybe they should write their own blog (I'm talking about the back-end here) with Microsoft products. ;-) The challenge has been given.
Let's see if the three can do it. Or if they'll just comment on this post. I'm guessing the latter.
[And in other news - Re:Lloyd from Microsoft's post. Easiest way to tell if your copy of Windows is legal. At least if you're running XP - go to the Help menu in explorer, select 'Is this copy of Windows legal?'. Warning: Not for the weak of heart. Help stop software piracy. It's commandment number 8. Yeah that applies to software too.
Comments
I'm thinking about blocking a few IP addresses (or perhaps a few IP address ranges) - specifically those of 'Harry' and 'Lloyd'.
Okay - so I'll admit - I'm not the best speller. And I haven't been running the last few posts few star office's spell checker. But c'mon,let's look at this objectively folks - it's sorta my style, ya know? And know I can't really go back and make the corrections, 'cause then the comments wouldn't make sense.
At least I know how to use HTML (maybe a <br> or a <p> tag somewhere 'Harry'?) in my posts. Oh - and I actually have something on my site. He he he...
