Journal Journal: So I'm cutting CDs of peoples mailboxes that we let go... 5

When all of a sudden...

PORN

Yup, I found one horny little bastard. I wonder why he was let go. I should check on that.

***Update***

Things you shouldn't tell the HR Lady

I inform her about the porn, and she says she already knew, then asked if she could somehow get a copy.

I say, "Sure, it's no problem, I'm making a copy for myself already, I can make you one too."

I then realise how bad that sounds.

"Xaoswolf's magic land of computer repair, Xaoswolf speaking"

"Yeah, my computer had this error, I don't know what it was though"

"Could you check and see what it was, maybe email it to me from the logs?"

"I guess I could do that, I really wish I knew what the error was, we had it before and we did some stuff with addresses and I think we ran out of liscenses"

*Head meet wall*

"Ok, if you can check the logs and send me the error, I will look into it"

"OK, I just wish I could remember, we had it before you see"

*bangbnagbang goes the head on the wall*

"I understand that, could you send me error from the logs?"

"I don't think it's a big problem, you see, last time we had an easy fix..."

The Next Day

"... So I'll just send you the error from the logs. Talk to you later."

*CLICK*

"Pleas kill me"

On a side note, I still haven't recieved the error report.

"Xaoswolf here to fix you pc and network problems"

"uhhh... I had this problem a few days ago..."

"OK, and what was the problem?"

"Well, it told me to change my password because it was going to expire. But I got an error when I tried. Now I can't log in."

"OK, what was the error?"

"Umm... I don't remember."

"OK sir. In order to solve this one, I'm afraid I will have to shove a few heated salt crusted razors up your urethra. If you had called me when you first experienced this problem, we could have avoided this, but now, it is the only solution."

"Damn"

Ok, so I made the last part up. Sue me. Why must people wait day, or weeks even before telling me they have a problem.

now, I'm not one of those car freaks out there that wank off to car magazines. But I must say, if this were a woman, she would be more beautiful than Helen of Troy, She would have a face that would launch millions of ships, ships with big guns and missiles, not just some puny triremes.

I mean, damn, 500 HP V10 motorcycle.

My favorite part is at the bottom,

0-60 mph: 2.5 seconds (est.) because nobody's grip was strong enough to try it faster

Top Speed: 300+ mph (est.) because they aren't stupid enough to give it to someone and tell them to open it up all the way.

Journal Journal: Perhaps a little background 6

As you all may have seen, I was recently contacted by a certain someone that I would rather never had heard from again.

It started my junior year of highschool, I was riding back from some band function on the bus, I met this girl who at the time seemed rather cool. Next thing I know we are dating. She was a few years younger than I, and at the time, I didn't even know her name. This is a rather normal thing on a band bus, just in case you weren't in the band.

For the first couple of weeks if was rather fun. Like I said, she was pretty cool. It didn't become apparent to me that she had somesevere mental problems until after we had been going out for a while.

She called me one day after school and started yelling at me for something stupid. I think I was talking to a girl in the hall. We broke up because I have friends that are female. Then the next day in school, she runs back and apologizes to me and we are going back out again.

In about a week, we break up again. I think because I didn't tell her I was playing paintball. Mind you at the time, I played paintball every weekend, normally sunday morning. She acted like this was something new, even though I had been doing so since even before we started going out, and she knew that I always played. The next day in school, we are going back out again.

After these break ups got boring, she started to let me know how fucked up her home life is. I'm not going to go into details here, simply because i don't know how much is true and how much she just made up.

She would mix these suicide calls up with calls telling me that she kissed a friends at a party, or that she was fantasizing about someone else.

Now, I'm starting to get a little annoyed with the whole thing, and I think she realized that, so she would start using a new tactic to keep me around. Suicide. Yup, you can't beat that call at midnight from a girlfriend who is going to kill herself because you love someone else. Mind you, I didn't love someone else, but that didn't stop her from claiming so.

Basicly everyother week, she would pull the name of one of my female freinds out of a hat, claim that I love them instead of her, and call me while rattling a bottle of pills or playing with razors.

About now, the only reason that I'm going out with her is because I didn't want her to kill herself. Looking back, I don't know if it was all for show or if it was for real, but at the time, I believed her.

Finally I decided that for my own mental health I needed out of the relationship. She broke up with me because I went to see Godzilla with some friends. The next day, as usual, she calls me and acts like it's all ok and wants to know if I want to go to the mall with her. I tell her no, that we broke up, and we aren't getting back together. She blows up on me, yelling and screaming. I hang up, she calls back, I hang up again. Later that night, I get a call from her, saying that she downed a bunch of sleeping pills. Great, I think, just what I need. We already know that she lived, she took it as a sign from god that she should get on with her life.

She didn't though, about a month later, she comes into the caffeteria where I am eating lunch and yells at the girl beside me, who used to be her best friend, and says that "If she wants to keep fucking me behind her back then she is free to do so" or something like that. Her friends gets really angry and begins yelling. Mind you, we were just freinds, and there was never any kind of relationship.

My ex continued to do this with every girl that I ever talked to. Then she started spreading rumors. Telling people that we went farther than we did, telling people that I am doing things with other people, including I believe some rumors about male friends of mine.

And speaking about male friends of mine, she went around and asked several of them out. I warned my friends she was a psycho, but said, if you realy want to, I can't stop you. She would call me after every date and tell me how things went.

Finally, my friends decided that yes she was indeed psycho and she nolonger had that option. She was left with the rumors, which I ignored or put down when confronted with.

It was rather silent for a while, at least until the hype for the senior prom came up. She calls me as askes me if we were still going. After all, I told her we were going to go, when we were dating. I reply no, we are not going to the prom together, and quite frankly would not go anywhere together. Those were the first words that I spoke to her in about 6 or 7 months. I wind up going to the prom with another crazy girl, but that's a topic for another journal.

In the end, she about trippled her size, became a raving lesbian, got rejected by the college that she wanted to go to, became straight agian, and I haven't talked to her since that phone call before the prom.

It's refreshing to know that I can really stick to my guns by not letting my loathing of her diminish over the years.

Journal Journal: People used to tell me 4

That I was going to grow up to be a bitter spiteful old man.

This is mainly due to the fact that I can hold a grudge for a very long time. I'm talking biblicly long here.

I'm reminded of this when an AIM window pops up from an ID that I didn't recognize, I simply ignored it, I just wasn't in the mood for an ASL conversation

Well, a second message pops up, with a name, the name of an ex-girlfriend.

Yup, pulse quickens, vision begins to get red around the edges, that nice feeling as adrenaline begins to flow through the bloodstream.

Yup, it's been something like 5 years since we last spoke, and I still hate you just as much as now as I did then.

*****UPDATE*****

No, wait, I hate you even more now than I did then. Yes, my hate is like a fine wine, it gets better with age. No, screw that, I hate wine, it's more like a fine cheese that gets getter with age.

Journal Journal: Ethnomathematics... WTF??? 4

http://www.cs.uidaho.edu/~casey931/seminar/ethno.html

What are ethnomathematics? Could somebody out there in college land inform me. From what I can tell, it's a PC way to learn about primative cultures. On the page I linked to, they give this example.

If his flock was small enough, a man (almost always a man) could keep track of all of his sheep just by recognizing them as individuals, and could tell at a glance in the evening if the entire herd came home. When the herd became larger, this could be confusing.

Eventually some clever individual thought up a better system for keeping track. In the morning, as the sheep filed out to pasture, he placed a pebble in a sack as each one passed. In the evening, as the sheep filed home, he removed a pebble from the sack as each one filed by. If there were any pebbles remained in the sack after the sheep returned, it meant that not all of the sheep had come home. Each pebble that was still in the sack represented a sheep who was missing and had to be found.

Now what that tells me, is that Ethnomathematics, teaches you that men suck because they are in control, and that shepards can't count. OK, so why do I need a class for that.

I understand that some people have different ways of doing math that aren't like ours. They still follow the same rules though. Addition, Subtraction, squares and right angles. These are indeed universal, other cultures may have differant ways of viewing them, but they are still there.

To me, these classes are a way to get rid of the WASP, because as we all know, the white man is bad. I'm sorry, but this crap would be better taught in a history class on the culture, or as an extra class for a history major.

Journal Journal: Subject: Virus detected!!! Sorry for the inconvience 1

Just a heads up, may or may not be a virus

There's an email going around my company, subject states "Subject: Virus detected!!! Sorry for the inconvience"

The message goes on to say that the sender had a virus and that you probably have it also and wants you to delete the file jdbgmgr.exe which is a Microsoft Java debugger.

Symantec lists this as a hoax, however most of the people sending this message haven't actually sent it, and it is sending it's self aournd.

Norton isn't picking anything up that I can tell and as far as I can tell, it is just sending its self around and having the users do the damage.

Journal Journal: our president was selected not elected 5

Why is it that people who don't understand the electoral collage complain about Bush WINNING the election, but don't complain about Clinton?

After all I believe it was his second term when he only had 45% of the popular vote, but somehow managed to get 75% of the exectoral vote.

Journal Journal: Millions and Millions??? 2

How many people came out to protest the war. To hear some San Francisco liberals, upwards of 200000 people walked their streets. Later, after using aerial photos to get an actualhead count. The say it was more like 65,000. In Downtown Manhattan, about 100000 people, instead of the 375000 that was claimed, ralied to protest the war. Compared to the 800000 that came to hear paul simon. 200000 people watched the Daytona 500. Sowing that about as many people came out to protest the war in SanFrancisco and New York, as went to watch a car race in the rain in Florida.

1 million total protested the war total in america, compared to 6 million that watched Ben Affleck in Dare Devil, or the 50 million that went to church this weekend

Total, maybe one half of one percent of the US population came together around the world in a great Anti Bush protest.

Journal Journal: secure web pages 4

Ok, my dad has a Tripod web page that he is working on, he has a members section for where the firemen can bitch without having everybody read it.

This is made using a bravenet password link, problem with this is, that the protected page is still on tripod, and can be found using a search engin.

Anybody got a solution as to how to protect this page for free? something like a javascript that checks the referer maybe, or a place that hosts pages for free that offers that kind of service?

Preferably something that my dad would understand, since I'm in philly, and he is in pittsburgh, phone support is about all I can provide, and he isn't really all that tech savy.
