My Random Blog

Well it seems that I have managed to rid myself of the million baby virus’s that my one virus immediately gave birth to, once it landed in my hard drive. However, I have still been enjoying the gift that keeps on giving… Adware. I feel like my laptop has Herpes or something.

I NEVER use Internet Explorer, but it managed to pop up from time to time to flash me ads for… oh the irony…anti-virus software. I’ve since disabled access to it, so I’m not getting that headache anymore. However, whatever program that I can’t rid myself of has hijacked my Firefox browser as well. The only one I can use without getting pop-ups and re-directs is Safari. Imagine that. I suppose that’s because EVERYTHING Microsoft has holes and security defects and pretty much throws “Come Fuck Me Up” parties for every virus known to man. However my future husband, Steve Jobs, managed to do just the opposite. I need a Mac and I need it NOW.

So far I have AVG Free, Spyware Doctor, CyberDefender and Error Expert running on my machine. They still can’t get rid of whatever adware program is still fucking with me. So I am now going to go down my list of comments (from my last post) and start downloading the recommended programs as well. THANK YOU to everyone who left a comment on my last post. Your support and suggestions are VERY appreciated.

On a happier note... I just spent a few glorious days on the coast and had a kick-ass time. I desperately needed to get to the ocean and decompress from life. It was SO nice to get the fuck out of this city and away from work and bullshit. (I uploaded a few pics to Flickr, for the curious.) Unfortunately, I’m back in reality now and expect to not be thrilled about that for at least a week.

Peace, mini holidays and clean computers.

Good God. I just spent over an hour at the EntreCard site trying to “drop my card” on the blogs of people who have dropped their’s here. What a pain in the ass that is. I’m also hungover and lazy today, so that might be contributing to the lack of patience I am experiencing.

First of all, I don’t have hours and hours of expendable time. I didn’t even get through HALF the blogs that dropped cards here. And while I do intend to go back and continue, I felt the need to bitch about it first. I’d also like to note a couple of things that made me want to grow a giant hand and have a bitch-slap-a-thon:

1.) Some blogs are so loaded with shit that they take forever to load. I’m not waiting for your blog to load just so I can click your EC widget. If you have two columns crammed with widgets, banners, ads, buttons and other useless shit, I’m skipping you. Sorry.

2.) Blogs that play music piss me off. Either take that shit off your blog, or turn OFF auto-play. The second I hear music, I’m out of there. I love music more than life itself, but I didn’t create a little playlist of my favorites to force on you.

So there ya have it. If you’ve dropped a card here and I haven’t returned the favor- it’s either because I haven’t had time, you have WAY too much crap to load, or you inflicted your shitty music on me.

Now I’m going back to try and finish what I started. Or to delete my account. I haven’t decided yet. I need an aspirin and a nap.

Peace and quiet blogs that load fast.

I had such high hopes when I called AT&T customer service today to get my plan changed. The lady I spoke with was “I got a little drunk at lunch” nice, we confirmed repeatedly what I was getting, and I hung up with a sense of peace and happiness. I found myself mentally high-fiving Kathy (or was it Karen?) all the way to work.

Once home from work, I had more time to play with my new phone and it’s new features. It was then that I realized that I still could not send or receive multimedia and the Internet only worked via Wi-Fi. FACK!

I looked up the settings for both (on AT&T’s Web site) and put them in my phone. Internet: Check. Multimedia: Still no. FACK! The MAIN reason I kicked my iPhone to the curb was because it painfully lacked that feature. To most cell phone users, I’m sure this isn’t a big deal. To cell phone junkies like myself, however, it causes headaches and gas pains.

Soooo… I get to call back tomorrow and find out what the problem is. There are a million things I’d rather do than that, and they are all painful.

Oh yeah, and my voice mail doesn’t work either.

Peace, Brazilian waxes and bee stings.
