You know, James is one of the few people I know who doesn't seem to be willing to come to terms with the fact that he is a geek. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's certainly undeniable.

Think about it, he was one of the first people I knew with his own website.

This goddamn early shift is killing me. It's not 8:30 and I'm ready for bed. If I stay up past nine I'm dead the next day. For fuck's sake, how can you require people to be at work so many hours before the sun is even up? We fix computers, why the hell do we need to be there in the middle of the night to do it? All it really accomplishes is making us useless and slow until after lunch, at which point we're lethargic and tired.

[afterthought]

Upon much consideration...

I have come to the conclusion...

that i don't like any of you. Not a one. Not even you Michael Collins.

Especially not you.

So to fix that situation... I have decided that...

I WILL EAT YOUR SPLEENS! DELICIOUS TASTY SPLEENS!!!!!

that is all.

For today we delve back to a moment in time, to visit an ancient and respected power:

Power of the ANCIENT DRAGON SPIRIT!

It's time for a new tradition. A grand tradition... A tradition I will now call:



And for today's PICTURE OF THE DAY!!!:


Grocery Shopping with MOMMAjOe, GRANDPAjOe and jOe.

Hey alright, a front-row seat to watch jEFF's slide into the abyss of insanity.

Awesome.

Burger-Time
----------------------

You know, when it's worded that way, driving 50 miles and all, that does make it sound kinda...

well you get the idea.

Ah, well in case you don't...

IT SOUND SAD. SAD AND PATHETIC.

Mwahahaha!!!!

LIKE A MONKEY!

It has been raining all day here. ALL FUCKIN' DAY. Though in retrospect, I actually like the rain, so that works out for me. Except for when I'm walking down the street and a car drives by me, and drenches me.

BUT HE WILL PAY WITH BLOOD!!!

Or donuts.

Yeah, maybe just donuts. Cherry Jam filled.

DELICIOUS.

FOOL!!!

How dare you say that Jeff does not care??! HOW DARE YOU!!!

I WILL DESTROY YOU AS I HAVE DECIMATED THE GREAT AND ONCE PROUD MOLE PEOPLE!!!

you and your pathetic military training means nothing to me...

NOTHING!!!

{I had coffee earlier today...}

About this coming up to eat Dicks... (jimmy's idea, mind you... which really... can you expect much less when his mom always wants him to eat meat?)... give me a call when you're up here... i'll probably be able to do it, since I don't work that day at hollywood (but I do at the VA, so I might be tired, or kept late that day).

I guess I'm not too... thrilled only because i could go there everyday... and when you can go somewhere everyday, it looses some of that novel appeal.

Unless it is really awesome...

Anyway.

So in reiteration...

I WILL DESTROY YOU BONNIE. YOU AND YOUR MILITARY SCHOOL!!!

Right, um... Not so rare, the virus.

Unless, of course, you're speaking of non-Windows platforms. Then I'd be surprised to hear the suggestion (always am when I do)

If you're running a Windows box connected to the internet constantly, without a firewall of some kind and no virus protection, you've probably got a virus.

Not only if it's acting strange, it's just a safe bet that you do.

More likely it's spyware/malware you picked up from a less-than-reputable website you may have visited, but never discount the idea of a virus on an unprotected Windows machine. Good god, it makes me shiver just to think about it.

Four points of advice:

1) Go out and get yourself some antivirus, install it and follow the directions. McAfee is what most IT dudes will recommend - don't use Norton's/Symantec or an off-brand.

B) Get AdAware.

III) Quit using Internet Explorer. Switch to FireFox. IE has more backdoors and easy ways in than a whorehouse in Phnom Phen.

d) Visit Windows Update and make damn sure all the Windows updates relating to security are currently installed on your computer.

Best idea is to install your antivirus and AdAware, make sure their definitions are up to date, then restart in safe mode to run the scans. Otherwise, you're not guaranteed everything will be caught and disposed of.

You'll need 1) and B) to get it clean, but if you don't do III) and d), you're only wasting time with the first pair.

...

Of course, this is just advice from an IT professional. Listen to whoever you like.

When are we meeting in Seattle tomorrow?

Also, who needs a ride up there?

Come to daddy.
