Hmmm, what’s going on? I’ve been looking for work, so there’s that.
I’ve been up and down to Kincardine a couple times. I keep missing Mrs Brown & Netty and feel guilty about that, I just don’t like visiting when my future is so uncertain. Oh well.
I cut my own hair on the weekend, no I’m not posting pictures of it here. I posted one from last night and look out of it. So no pic love here (for now).
On friday we had some excitment, as NiteGirl’s PC was found to be infected with a bot that was allowing remote control. DAmn. I thought I had cleaned it, but I guess not. Which means it is possible that anyone who was infected with the same is currently an botnet slave. There were a couple on NiteGirls contact list. They will need to clean that up.
(If you are wondering, look at your task list (CTRL+ALT+DELELTE or Right-click on the menu bar at the bottom of your screen and click Task Manager). If you see “live.microsoft.com” you are probably infected. Locate the start processes in you registry (a bunch on nonsense rundlls and .NET. that references live.microsoft.com. Stop the processes before you delete the registry keys. The live.micorosft.com is a hidden file in c:\windows.
Have fun.
This is by no means a proper write-up and I really should have tried to fix the virus, but I just nuked and paved nite’s machine instead. So we both have relativley clean machines now.

This is a laughable debate; but please give it some time. Remember this video when you decide to be closed minded about an idea that is foreign to you. You may be as ridiculous as this flat-earther from Iraq.
Also, Adria (if I remember) you have to watch this. I require it.
LoL
5 years later, this video is more poignant. This footage is likely to show up again and again in movies and documentaries when the world examines this failed presidency again and again.
One could never imagine that history would breed a better asshole than Dick Nixon, but there you go. The fecund moss of the conservative movement that we were warned about by Sinclair Lewis has borne the fruit that the west deserved.
If anything, the past 8 years should serve as a reminder that tyrants will often come wrapped in familiar paper and borne by the lope of a close friend.
Next time, let’s get it correct and fight against these kinds of fools before they destroy the west again.
Updated: Ray is twittering: The more I watch Glenn Beck the more I like him. I watch him on YouTube. I love the interweb.
Ewwwww
Glenn Beck is pretty much the second worst personality on Headline News (second to Nancy Grace who hounded a woman to suicide and profits from the pain of others).
One would think that watching Glenn Beck would have the opposite effect, what with his false frat-boy haircut and his toadying fealty to Bush when Bush was popular. What about hoping for people to lose their homes in Cali?
Oh well, to each their own I guess.

A La Plus Tard.
It wasn't all that late, but I was sleepy and ready for a nap when I got to the hospital waiting room.
My Mother and Wife both insisted that my wheezing-barking cough was bad enough to warrant a doctor getting his hands on my doughy body. I disagreed then after a few moments of body blows and no small amount of bungee cords I found myself signing into the hospital and wearing a face mask a la Michael Jackson or Japanese Subway Riders.
Pleased, can't you see I was?
So, the triage nurse didn't hear the same noise in my chest that my mom heard, but she sent me on to see the doctor anyway. It might have been because I was on good cough medicine or just luck, but my chest is still crackling and popping after days of medicine so it was probably for the best that she sent me on.
So, not long after (about 30 mins) I got to see a Doctor (Dr. Smith I think) and he perscribed a round of AntiBiotics for my cough and chest infection. Those who know me know how I feel about medication in general and Antibiotics as a whole. I'm taking them, but only to make the cough go away faster.
Speaking about the medicine, how much would you expect to pay for a course of Antibiotics? I have no drug plan, so like 100 dollars, right? Nope. 30. 30 Canadian dollars, which is about 33 American.
I could afford my medicine!
I didn't have to pay for them either, so thanks Mum.
My last pill goes tomorrow and I expect to take another 5 days to clear. Maybe I'll get a good night's sleep soon.
Cheers.
