Ello.

I was tired of saying hello, so I changed it to ello today.

Well most of my long week is almost up.

Last week I sold my two days off. So my first week of the semester is 8 days long.

I think who ever it is that has the abily to play with my life that I didn't have to come in once this week for 8 am. After having to do that for the last week of break, my normal 11am shift seems late in the day for me now. It's starting to wear off since I had to be at work until 10 last night. BTW, I didn't get home until 11 last night because I was working on my uncle's computer. But just to give me a hard time, the computer couldn't boot from CD. So I had to restore the ME verson of MS to the hard drive. I'm not happy with that, nor was I happy that I had to push the power button everytime 4 mins because I would cause it lock up or crash but runing more than one thing, or more than one thing too soon after closing the first thing. I can now say that I really don't like ME.

Also speaking of hard drives. I got my new one today. :) *grin* *grin* So my computer getting massively infected today (desktop that is, not that my laptop didn't start scraching from being so close) wasn't the compleate headach and start of a really bad day like I thought it was going to be. I've been able to save the laptop that is how I'm able to blog now. This was shut out of the internet for the past two days because of the infection it got. But due to MS antispy ware software and spybot I was able to get around it when I took my laptop to work today.

But i'm still fighting off the infection, and a few other things living on my cable modem network. It did help me fix the other girls computer. You see, yesterday a girl brought in a laptop that was having issues when we tried to get her configered for the network. Parts of her desktop started to disapear, then parts of her start menu weren't there, and she lost her wallpaper, and she couldn't apply any. That night when I come home I saw it on the laptop, then this morning the desktop. You know what happened to my computers. As for her's, it seemed just deleateing her profile worked.

The virus that did this hung out in the personal temp folder of the profile. I would have just deleted that part since panda (antivirus) couldn't find any viruses to get rid of from her computer like it did mine. Go figure.

Right now I'm waiting for the rerun of Battlestar Galacitca. My sister doesn't like so she changed the channel just after it got started.

I have to go find a new antivirus. I'm currelty downloading kaspersky's AV to see how that works. Althought I'm a bit sceared or running my computer without an AV installed, but the computer is runing a bit faster with them installed. Oh yeh, earlyer tonight I tried insalled Panda's AV to have it do a bit better of a job cleaning out the system since I knew it knew the viruse that was on the system my my system just crawled. So I got rid of both when I read the reveiw for Panda. I do know that not all reviews are to be relied on that much, but what The heck, I'll shop around.

Got to go now, the download is finished.

Take care, and stay up to date.

Oh... one last thing. Nika's first week of school is over. That reminds me I have to ask Jhodie something. Two things happed that were, odd at the school for Nika. One, on the second day of school, I think, she tried to walk home a bit to late in the lunch period. She didn't like the soup they had for lunch and by the time the left the school to walk home to get something to eat, the crossing guard sent her back to school. I felt so bad for her. The next thing being, the doors to the bathroom were locked for the first 2 or so days of school so she couldn't use the bathrooms. Jhodie said that she was going to ask about the bathroom thing, she didn't back to me on that one. That is what I have to ask her tomorrow.

Like I was said, I'm out of here. Oh.. my website job, moving very slowly. Would really like some more pics of the appartment to post.

Bye... leaving.... out of here. ..................... yes, yes... bad speller.

I'm hiding from my wallpaper club.Shhhh..

Ya, I didn't get to them after all. I started to pick out what to choose from, but then I started to show Jhodie the new wallpaper that I got, the next thing I know she's talking to her frineds, then it's midnight and I'm yawning my head off.

I'm sorry. I just went to bed at that point.

I think I'll just put it off until the weekend.

They are going to hate me for sure.

If I can find the courage to go there tonight, I'll post along with more appoligies.

Well, back to work.

This is Monday.

Hello Again.

As you can see I didn't get around to posting anything last night.

Small miss hap. My uncle's computer crashed on him again. It was only a matter of time. I'm slightly surprised that it lasted as long as it did. It's WinME. Ya.

Either which way. I spent over an hour trying to under and what gives and helped him hook up a PS2 mouse and keyboard so we could get into the crashed system.

Then I had a website job to work on.

Ya, excueses, excueses.

Well, I did start to pick what to post today before I came in for work. I'm doing over time.

Here is a make up for being late. I hope anyway.



I hope to get them up tonight when I get home.

=================================

That was the message that I left over at my wallpaper club today.

I was going to tell you a few things, but I just got an e-mail to go do something.

What I can say is that I sold away my two days off. I'm doing over time. Monday and Tuesday. 10 am until 6pm.

See ya.

silicon.com: Star Wars and spyware mixed up in users' minds

Do you beleive this one??

Americans show know about this stuff. Since most of it came from amearica to being with. It's just sad how some of us can't go to most websites we want without something trying to wiggle it's way unto our system.

A reinstall is looking more and more pending. At least I have a slight plan. I get the new hard drive that I need. My 80 giger becomes my new C drive, and I get a nice clean install of Win2000. Why not XP? The rest of my system won't be able to handle it that well. It was ment to run Win98. I won't push it that far.

An XP upgrade will come when I get my new prossesor and board or with my new computer.

Well I have to go fix the layout issue that I'm having with my last blog.

See ya.

Star Wars and spyware mixed up in users' minds

By Colin Barker

Some 11 per cent of the British population are convinced that spyware is "a gadget from Star Wars", according to research published on Thursday.

The survey, carried out by NOP and commissioned by security company Blue Coat, appears to highlight a lack of concern in the UK market about spyware, with more than half of those surveyed unaware that spyware is software on a user's computer that tracks their behaviour and reports it back to a third party.

While 33 per cent of adults are concerned about viruses, according to the survey, only eight per cent show any concern for spyware. A third (30 per cent) of adults said they used a spyware checker every day but that percentage drops to only 16 per cent of adults when using their computer for personal use.

The survey highlights an issue that is now of grave concern to companies, including Microsoft which last month enhanced its anti-spyware software. Spyware, which was once considered merely irritating, is now seen as a threat because the innocuous pop-ups that are typical of both adware and spyware can shield viruses and worse.

Nigel Hawthorn, vice president of marketing for Blue Coat, said: "Clearly this is a huge problem for the enterprise."

"Spyware and the nature in which it attacks should be viewed as the smiling assassin. Enterprises should face up to the problem, educate their users and take the spyware threat very seriously indeed."

===========================================

Hello again.

I'm taking time out of my shift to say hi and share.

I hate working day shift. One more then a 10 o'clock one on Saturday for regastraion, then the same on Sunday I think, then I nag my boss about what time I start work that week. I would love to just not show up until Wednesday, but I haven't a clue what he's thinking up.

Let's see if I can recap anything for you.

On Monday I came back to work. I got to there about 8:35 or so. I slowly got out of bed, and sliped into some clothes, then caught a bus to come to work. Nothing was waiting for me, but everyone said hi, then 10 or so mins later Ron came in. He didn't so much talked about vacation, then he talked about losing his suitcase coming back. He was, as always, happy to be back to work. He then asked me how things were going after he talked to the other guys who had a bit more on their plate to do over the break. I told him I don't know, I just got back. Then he remembered that I was on vacation too. I told him that I got as far as Nevis. (something else for me to you tell you about)

Well I didn't do that much work wise that I can remember that day. Infact I had to go looking for stuff to do. I decieded to update the video list with the 6 or so new or brought back tapes that we had. I just have to look most of them over first and see what they were and such, and lable them.

I had two granola bars for brakefast. I grabed them on my way out of the house and drank water, for lunch. I don't remember what time I left and got home, but the next day I was late getting home, but let's continue with Monday.

When I walked in E was doing ID's. I knew that job was mine now. She didn't come back to doing any until I had to leave to help a teacher upstairs. But that was the next day I think. Anyway. I did like 15 or so IDs that day.

Then there was Tuesday, I got to work a little earlyer, and I still took the granola bars with me, but right after I ate them I was called upstairs to get a lunch. I kinda ate late because we had orentaion that morning, and I helped out. I wasn't told too. I just did. It was kinda expected. Rick wasn't finished making all the profiles so some of them didn't work when they tried to log in. A few students had been in the system since last semester even though they started this semester, so they had like 5 pages of mail aready in their inbox. I may already made some friends, which is good, but I still have to wait and see.

Oh, lunch was after orentaion, and when I went up to get a plant of something that was left from the lunch they had gotten for the stuents I ran into a teacher that needed me help with something. It seems she wants to rent out her house during summber when she's off island, and maybe another site more geared towards school work.Well, she wanted me to help her make it. At first I thought she wanted me to make them for her, so I was talking about after school started to do it, but she wanted to start that afternoon. Ok. I told her after 4 I can come up and see. So after work I went up a little after 4, I had to do something. I'm not sure what it was now, but I called her up to let her know what I was going to be a little late.

Ah, now I remember. I was told to help some staff members back up their computer data because they were moving or/and getting a new computer. So I was in admin for like an hour and 10 mins before I went up by her. Then after it rained for the third time and it was after 6pm I called down to see if anyone was still in the LRC. I had called down before I went up stairs to help her to make sure someone knew not to lock me out, but it was after 6 now. They may not be there anymore. So I called down, and no one picked up. I left all my stuff down there. So I left to see I was really locked out and I found Tishon down here. He didn't want to pick up the phone because he didn't want any more work for the day, and he thought that the teacher was calling for help, when it was me calling to make sure he was still here.

Well I got my stuff along with some food that I got that was left over. Noodles with tofu and some veggies. Then I went back up to her office. Then we called break, and she then again asked for my price. Normally she would have asked for it befor hand, but we just got right into making the site. I quoted $10 and hour. I just didn't say if that was US or EC. I'll decide later.

That night we watched Dirtist Jobs, but one wasn't that bad, but then we thought that not every ep he has to be waist deep in something who's fumes could peel paint. He needed a break every once in a while. We had the food that I brought home, along with some stove top. I like stuffing.

Then I tried to watch some anime off the laptop before going to bed. It was kinda early for me. 11pm maybe. It could have been 12:30. But that didn't happen. I didn't even bother to open the laptop once I got it to my bedroom. I just rolled over and went to bed.

The next day it started all back over again. Slid out of bed and into my clothes. (bty, I'm taking baths at nights) I wore a new outfit that day. I dropped something from the lunch on my last shirt.

I got in today like a min earlyer than the day before. Then Ron come by as I was setting down my bag to say that we were having a meetting that morning in like an hour. .....

Sorry, I have to go. It's almost 15 past 4 and I have to go help the teacher with her website.

See ya.
