WTW: Web Surfing At Work Same As Reading A Magazine

  As long as the mag isn’t Playboy or Penthouse (from WRAL) A ruling in New York should come as a relief to people who have a habit of checking out the Internet at work. A judge has ruled that use of the Internet is no more goofing off on the job than reading a […]

Michael Crook Still Sucks

I was getting some strange hits from Wikipedia regarding Michael Crook, the “Forsake The Troops” wackadoodle. Finally tracked them down, seems a few of my articles regarding an attempt to get McDonalds to smack him down for trademark infringement are at Wikipedia. A few hits are not worth the trouble this a**hole has caused.

Damn, I hate to do this

But, to be fair, I have to give Kosbat the credit for finding this source, called Newseum, which allows people to scan the front pages of over 435 papers from 45 countries. Pretty cool, plus lots more stuff on their home page. Hey, if I am going to take shots at him, gotta be fair […]

Calling all geeks

OK, here is the deal. Beth at MVRWC is looking for a special little java type applet. I’m not going to say what it is, because that will be a surprise for when it is done, and I have about given up on it, it is a bit beyond what my knowledge base is. I […]

The HDTV thing

OK, so I got my new HDTV a few weeks ago using points accumulated for a sales contest. A nice 30" Toshiba widescreen. I was psyched. Movies looked great, got the component cables to hook up the XBOX, which bump it to 480p, though, I found out that my cheap Audiovox portable with composite cables […]

Best Spyware Killer

Ahoy, maties. I would like to introduce ye to the best spyware killer program yet. The Spyware Doctor. I made the serious mistake of downloading Grokster, which contains an enormous amount of spyware and malware, and I could not get rid of it using Adaware or MacAfee. So, I tried a few different programs, and […]

Smells like a setup to me

Italian "hostage" Giuliana Sgrena was released today, then injured by US Forces as her car sped towards a roadblock setup in Iraq near the Baghdad airport. Smells fishy, rather like a setup. Much like her kidnapping in the first place. See Dr. Shackleford at My Pet Jawa for the 411. I cannot wait to see […]

A word on virus’

Word up, homeslices: that virus that comes packaged in what looks like a email from the FBI is more pervasive then thought. I recieved the little SOB at my wteach at nc.rr.com address. Previously, it only came to my top level email address. Watch out!

The FBI wants YOU!

Well, not the real FBI. The F*ck Brain Idiots, who are send out a virus laden email that looks like it has come from the real FBI. The e-mails appear to come from an fbi.gov address. They tell recipients that they have accessed illegal Web sites and that their Internet use has been monitored by […]

Email on Your Cell Phone

Because life is more then politics, I bring an interesting way to get your email on your phone, for the 46 million Cingular customers. I was having a conversation on a forum, and one poster was asking how to get their email on their phone. Now, Cingular’s infrastructure, like most of the other carriers, is […]
