OOF! Sorry that I haven't been here in a while, but my home computer picked up a virus, and I've been unable to post on here since. I know, likely story, right?
I incurred the Win32.TrojanDownloader, and that SOB not only ate up all of my memory, but it made my computer slower than dial-up when it worked at all. Any time I'd try to get rid of the virus, the computer would shut down.
It's hard to blog at work. Phone rings. Meetings, press conferences, etc. I can barely complete a thought as-is, much less, write rants. Just look at my sportscasts!!! (just kidding, boss)
On that note, I'd like to issue a statement. This is to people that not only pioneer computer viruses, but others that fund their efforts.
How on earth can you think that I'll support, or even be interested in your product if you pay to be a pop-up window on a virus? Not that I need to meet "single women in my area" or "get a degree online".
If you click through one of those pop-up pages that pay the virus people for that purpose, you might be stupid enough to get that degree at that non-exhistant university, or meet some stranger at the mall that you've been getting model-esque pictures of. Wait until you meet that person "in-person". Better yet, wait for that employer to ask you where Ardville Tech is actually located. Such a proud tradition...
I wonder if there are virus advertising sales people. "Hello Mr. Smith, I'm Joe Schmo at Moron Technologies, and we've developed what we think to be the greatest, most harmful virus to date. How would you like your product or service to be forcefully placed on millions of computers for a nominal fee?"... I'll bet that's a resume builder....
Super Bowl will be a Super Bore. I can tell you right off the bat that the highlight of the whole game will be the Super Bowl Ads, and Tom Petty at the Half. This season just needs to end. Once the Patriots got to 12-0, I lost interest as the season got anti-climactic... Pats all the way in this one, and we knew that would happen in October...
This one's for the Miners fans. Lay off Tony Barbee. Give him time. No need to be impatient. He's playing with kids. Mad at Randy Culpepper taking rediculous shots? Live with it for now. He's figuring out how to play on the next level, and we all know how special that kid is going to be.
I know they look sloppy at times, but they're called growing pains. Wait until they get that 1st conference win on the road. With that will come confidence, and improvement will follow...
However, big ups to Keitha Adams and the Miner Women. 30th in the nation in the AP. That's huge. Remember when these seniors were freshman? Remember how bad those teams were? Think about the Miner men the same way. The same will happen (if Barbee is still around by then.)
Should have the home computer back soon, and once I get it back, I'll be back in the saddle again for good (or at least until the next virus)...
