Worse than a handful of snot

rmiles7721January 7, 2007Uncategorized

You know how sometimes you just have to blow your nose and a big ass handful of gooey snot comes out and YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT? Yeah, me either. But thanks to Og I have spent the last little while checking out another site and I have now seen something worse than a handful of gooey snot.

I don’t usually link to stuff over at Instapundit. It just feels weird, I mean everyone reads him so why would he need me to link to him. When I came across this post though, I knew I had to. It’s basically just a link to M-LAW’s tenth annual wacky warning label contest.

I’m hooked

rmiles7721January 6, 2007Entertainment

One of my Christmas gifts from my brother was a book, One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer. I started reading it as bathroom material a couple of nights ago. Now I am a couple of chapters in and this will be the only blogging I do tonight as I am going to read for awhile before I crash. I don’t know if he has written anything else yet, but Nathaniel Fick is a smooth read. I am thoroughly enjoying the book and may post on it more after I finish.

Norton Anti-Virus Beta

rmiles7721January 6, 20074Technology

I am currently testing Norton Antivirus 2007 beta for Windows Vista. Up until I started running Vista I used Mcafee Viruscan, mainly because it is free as a paid AOL user. Not that I run their software much, but I do keep it for my Grandmother’s use as it is her only Internet access. Mcafee, or at least the version that AOL uses, is not compatible with Windows Vista, so I started looking at different AV products awhile back. The main thing for me is that I needed it to be non-intrusive. The only thing I want it to do is catch viruses. I don’t need all of that other security crap. Either it is built in to Windows, or I use other products that I like better.

I haven’t had any problems with the beta version I am running (it’s been installed for about a week now), so as long as it stays that way I will stick with it. I like Norton 2007, and as soon as this trial beta version times out I will most likely purchase it from these guys. I checked the prices against what Norton charges in their online store, and they are comparable.

This is (hopefully) a paid advertisement.

Our friend sent me this picture as well, I guess she wasn’t sure if my wife’s email address was still the same or not. In the email she said “imagine seeing this every day”.

I used to consider moving to Alaska. A beautiful place once you get past the tundra and mosquitoes. I love the picture and do want to visit, but I don’t want to move to Alaska anymore. Something to do with getting older. Now I want to move south, somewhere near the beach. Key West sounds just about right.

New Years Resolutions

rmiles7721January 6, 2007Uncategorized

Normally we (I should I here) make resolutions every year, some to be kept, but most to be broken. This year I decided to lower the bar a bit and make sure that I had resolutions that I know I can keep, thus feeling better about myself this time next year. Thus, in no particular order, here they are.

1. Smoke more

2. Cuss more

3. Get fat

4. Make less money

5. Work more hours

Here’s to the new year and hoping that I can exceed my expectations over the coming months.

Damned if someone that has me in their address book must have a virus. I am getting spammed with about 100 emails a day with virus attachments. I haven’t bothered to deeply check into it, they are all getting delivered to my domain under different email addresses that don’t exist, and of course forwarded to me as administrator. Not that spam is anything new, this just seems to be the trend lately.
