Ovaltine. Why do they call it Ovaltine? The glass is round, the container is round - why don’t they call it Roundtine?
This risk management stuff you gave me is gold, Jerry!
Yes, I often end up making jokes when I’m frustrated by current world events. I’ve got three links for you people, read them all after the jump.
Sorry for the long absence, but I’m afraid it might continue. The latest crisis is that my home computer has been infected with some particularly nasty malware.
At first I found several viruses and a couple hundred pieces of malware, but I’ve now got it thinned down to just two: VX2 and Look2Me.
Unfortunately it appears that the variants of these two are so new, that no one seems to have an easy solution to remove them. The forums I’ve visited on these usually have instructions like:
Run [insert utility program here] and post the log file to the forum, and don’t do anything until you get a response,
Now try running [insert different utility program here] and run step one and post the log file, BUT DO NOT RUN STEP 2 UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO!!!!
Ok, now go into your registry and remove [long list of registry entries] and re-run [second utility program] and re-post log file, DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU GET A RESPONSE!!!
Ok, now download [yet another utility program] and post the log file…
I think you get the picture here… nobody has a clue what to do.
So I was up after midnight last night working on this just to come to the conclusion that the only way to get help is to play the post my log file game… wish me luck.
Here a link with an idea of what VX2 was like a couple years ago, I’m guessing any info I’m finding is woefully outdated with this new variant… I hope malware authors (and those how fund them) will find themself in one of the lower circles of hell when they die.
Wish me luck!
I knew it. Grr. Read this (and then come back). 
This totally explains why my life has been so hard. The deck has been stacked against me since birth; something completely out of control has forced me down a certain path, (ir)regardless of my natural-born abilities. Woe, woe is me.
But seriously, folks. How can this be more than a statistical anomaly? (And I fully anticipate that the other two yutzes on this site will probably argue that lefties are naturally more gifted. Blar.)
Howdy folks.
Sorry about the unexplained hiatus, although I suppose that’ll happen from time to time. Just a short post from yours truly today. I found a cool blog with a picture per day, and I thought I’d share. Enjoy.
If you have seen a TV or newspaper in the last few days you are more than likely aware that Mel Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving in Malibu this past weekend. 
Allegedly he threatened the officer that pulled him over, that he would ruin their career, and he would use all of the resources at his disposal to make him pay for arresting him. I don’t know about you, but that would have made me think twice as an officer. This is a guy who has a lot of power in southern California… and made a very angry movie about a celebrity getting back at the paparazzi. Just because he’s Sergeant Riggs, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t dare strike back at an officer of the law.
Beyond that he made several anti-semetic remarks; which are no longer “alledged” because he has come clean. Predictably he is profusely apologizing (as he should), but doesn’t this all ring a big hollow? As the old saying goes, in vino veritas.
So, does this incident lower your opinion of Mel, or did you not have a high opinion of him in the first place?
Oh, and lastly, nobody is a better looking arrested drunk than Mel… nobody.
