Computer Wonk
I wonder WTF is happening with my computer lately. My Spyware Doctor used to load on start-up and hold up everything else loading. Now everything else loads and my Spyware Doctor is ‘restarting its engine’ and doesn’t load til everything else has happened.
And tonight, I had 8 high-risk infections on my computer. Eight of them! WrTF did they come from… they weren’t there yesterday. Now Spyware Doctor did get rid of them, and to make sure, after it said that they were “fixed”, I rebooted and ran the scan again just to be sure. They were gone. But WrTF did they come from in the first place?
My daughter was on my computer the other day and I wondered how that happened. I had a password set on my computer and she managed to get on and set up a guest account and use it. So I turned the guest feature off, changed my password and left it at that.
I don’t want anyone else on my computer getting who knows what virus, installing some smiley face application with all kinds of spyware in it.
You use your computer, I’ll use mine. I didn’t buy her a computer for her to use mine. That’s how I feel about that. Perhaps I’ll have to set up the fingerprinting system so that my log in only works with my fingerprint. They have that y’know. I’ve thought of buying it before – that was before my daughter lived here. But I thought, “nah, why would I need something like that?”
I’m not saying she’s been on my computer again, I’m sure she hasn’t (because I have a secret camera set up and a key logger to check everything that goes on). I just don’t like anyone touching my stuff. As a great philosopher once said… No touchie!
I may be coming close to the reformat time again, although I don’t want that. I’m thinking I want a new computer (but I’ll take my brand new video card with the dual monitor ports). I also need a new sound card – something really expensive. Right. Well, that’s what I want, anyway.
I should buy a laptop. My laptop is so old it’s a joke to take it out – if I ever took it out. The thing weighs about 83 pounds, it’s as thick as a text book, and it’s white – I think it’s a Compaq, I can’t remember. It was good for when I used it (the last time I took a course and typed up all my notes during class), but I would be awfully embarrassed to be seen with it, so I’ll probably never use it again. I can’t even remember… was it a P2? P3?
In other news, our t-shirts came today. I ordered a t-shirt for me, my snookey and my daughter for Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th. You can view it here. I’m happy they got here on time, since I only ordered them on Monday. Great work this time, Zazzle.
Enough of that. I have The Office rerun to watch. Only two more weeks til the new season.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
I love talk like a pirate day…Arrrr
