In which I look forward to the weekend.
Last night I sat next to p-Kav at the bar. He told me a funny story about his computer:
His computer, which was in his bedroom, had a motion-sensitive webcam on it. Apparently one day he was wandering around his room, post-shower naked, and his webcam started following him. Its light was on. Turns out someone had hacked his computer and was looking at him, with his own camera! Is that not totally funny?
But seriously, folks. Run a firewall (I run this one on my home box) and protect yourselves, m’kay?

At band practice last night, everyone was in a goofy, strange mood. I laughed a lot. I got great hugs from all the guys before I left, ’cause I’m a total hussy like that. When I got home, Bread was asleep on the couch. So I brought some firewood in, stoked the stove, and crashed.
Two hours left of my workweek. *sigh* I’ve purchased ebooks — a strange combo of hard sc-fi and soft porn, I’m getting so weird in my old age — and downloaded them, so I’ll have stuff to read. Tomorrow I intend to do absolutely nothing that even remotely resembles anything like accomplishment. Sunday I might take a swipe at housework… but I doubt it.
Bread’ll be in Cedar Rapids for much if not all of next week, so I’ll be going home to spastic dogs and a cold fireplace every night. But I have to say it’ll be nice to see the ol’ man bring home a paycheck for a few weeks… you have no idea how far behind I am in our bill paying.
Hey, I know! Let’s all go to Mexico and get tanned and lazy, and spend all day drinking frothy things with tequila in them and doing coke and getting tattoos. Doesn’t that sound fun? I look hot with a tan.

Mexico sounds good after the day I’ve had… but I’ll be practical and say “George’s, here I come!” ‘Sides, gotta save for my trip to Spain and France. **oh yeah… I’m pimpin’ it…**
I use both ZoneAlarm and a hardware firewall. I started using a hardware firewall after two different episodes of ZoneAlarm mysteriously crashing, and a quick check of the ZoneAlarm forum revealed that it was happening across the ‘net. I think hackers were broadcasting malformed packets targetted at a vulnerability in ZoneAlarm, and a hardware firewall keeps that kind of crap from even hitting the PC.
mexico sounds lovely, but i can’t do coke. it fizzes in my nose and makes me sneeze. i can do 7up though 🙂 yeah, i know…
i haven’t been able to drink tequilla since the ‘great water bed spin adventure of 1980’ (don’t ask)
My memory about Mexico is eating live ants with tacos…. Not fun.. But hot boys 🙂
I’ve hacked into one of this wirless router and embedded a script to keep rebooting as this guy in the same building was listening to the radio so loudly. I see he replaced the router. I am gonna do the same if he does it again. Keep buying it!
I’d be up for the tattoo, but I burn rather than tan. I had problems with ZoneAlarm v6 point something that wasn’t allowing our laptops to talk to the web through the standalone we use as a server – had to roll back to v5 point whatever, but it does worry me that I’m now not keeping up with the latest patches.
Ooh. Mexico. Tequila. Tattoos. Sunburn. Cute boys. I’m *so* there. When do we leave?
did someone say tequila? sunshine?? mexico???
count moi in….
voyeurism is hot! NOT! i’d be so traumatized if something like that happened to me. good thing i’m not technologically advance to have a webcam.
can i join in on the mexico fiesta?
I want to be warm.
