See, I told you. They always come back...

This is all I have to say...

Lunch Menu

Ok, I have two Beef and bean Burritos for Lunch today, and I forgot the Hot Sauce. So I went out on a quest to find some Hot Sauce. Now, I didn't find any regular hot sauce, However I found the following packets that read "Hot sauce".

• Habanero *Spicy* Ketchup (so it reads)
• KFC "Hot Sauce" (hmmm...)
• Ketchup (I know. its not Hot Sauce, but it is worth a try.)

Yea, this is pretty much gonna suck ass.

First up. the regular Ketchup. Which has an interesting flavor, but just doesn't workout.

Nextup, the Habanero *Spicy* Ketchup. Has the flavor of Ketchup and some spicyness, but isn't the same as Hot Sause. (puts to the side...)

Lastly, the KFC "Hot Sauce". Ughh, Fantastically Terrible. I mean Horrible, All i tasted was vineger, and I hate vineger, Small hint of Hot Sauceness, but a tragic disappointment. Just by looking at the substance, its watery cloudyness red tint. I should have known coming from a Chicken fast food joint.

Well i guest it shall be the Spicy Ketchup for today.

Merry Christmas Everyone, And Happy Hoildays!

Ahh Yes, yet another christmas has past and the begining of a new 365 days to wait. I was success in being able to open my C-Jump board game, saddly I have no one to play it with at the current moment, DJ and Jess arenot here, and well Jessie would have no clue how to play, Although her math skills I might add for a 1st grader are great. Karen took one look at the board and said, "Wow that looks borring.", She's not much of a math person nor into as much geeky stuff as I or DJ are. So I shall wait till DJ gets back.

On another note its a fine day. We all made out pretty well. At about 4:30ish we'll be heading out to my parents house for Christmas Dinner.

Is it me?

I posted a question on a forum I frequent about changing the background color of a Cell or Range of cells. I got answer, but I don't believe it was what I asked. What I posted is a little long so see the link below for what I posted. Now, short and to the point this is what I asked, I asked about the script that is used or needed to change a Cell or Range of Cells, and what I would need and if anyone could point me in the correct direction and got this answer:

Check out Weekday()

Huh ?
But wait? I asked about Changing color of a cell not getting the weekday? I told him in the post I already have this, so i didn't need to know this.
Read the post and let me know if its just me or not.

So is it him or me? Did I not ask clearly? So I left the question unanswered, and went on trying to figure it out, until I found a site that was helpfull, It at least gave me an example as to what I needed to do. So i completed the project and decided to remake the project I was working on, but this time set it up so others can use it and change to what they needed to change it to being that I really couldn't find the information on it, I thought that someone could use it. Here's a link to my post for the public version. http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=248733
Which is the Excel spread sheet you see in the previous post below.

So, there are a few views before the guy posts again, and What? He says he helped me? Just because he said something about using a Select Case? But he never explained how to change the color of the Cell, notice that I did explain that I already had my project pretty much complete with the execption of the Cell Color change. The only time I see that he said something to use was to use a macro recorder? Didnt state how, just said to use it. Hhuh ok.. So anyways check out the final product and what he had to say, and my reply. http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=248733

Excel Spread Sheet

Ah.. one of the things I was working on here to make it easier on me and Mr Wonderful. Check out the post here.

"The phone fell off the table..." : : Part 2

Second part to this Post: The Phone fell off the table PART 1

Old Phone in Box

Well I finally had the chance to call 3com and get a new phone. And Yes, I got a New phone. It was harmless. Don't know why I thought it would be. When the rep asked whats wrong with it, I told him that It fell off a table in our service techs area, and that was that. Got everything I needed. Here's the New phone.

If I can figure out how to get my Recorded calls off the damn phone I'll post the call. If anyone knows how to get them off a Motorola i860, please let me know.

Yet another Bunch of Heap!

Just like Microsoft, Symantec reposts that a Flaw reported in Symantec anti-virus software give possibility that users could be open to an attack from a remote hacker thanks to a newly-discovered vulnerability. Independent security researcher Alex Wheeler found that Symantec Antivirus Library can be overwhelmed by "heap overflows" while decompressing a RAR file. The Symantec Antivirus Library provides file format support for virus analysis. During decompression of RAR files Symantec is vulnerable to multiple heap overflows allowing attackers complete control of the system(s) being protected. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely without user interaction in default configurations through common protocols such as SMTP (by Default is port 25). This vulnerability affects a substantial portion of Symantec’s gateway, server, & client antivirus-enabled product lines on most platforms. It's recommended to disable scanning of RAR compressed files until the vulnerable code is fixed.

Remember if you don't know the sender Don't Open it, Simply delete the email along with the file.

In the past Alex Wheeler has found other Heap Overflows with-in Panda, Sophos, KASPERSKY, Clamav, COMPUTER ASSOCIATES VET AV, and NOVELL ZENWORKS. Check out his website with his research at www.rem0te.com

The company plans to update the Antivirus Software Library to fix the vulnerability, and details about that update have been posted to Symantec's Security Response (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/security/SymantecAdvisories.html). No exploits using the vulnerability have been reported to Symantec as of midday Wednesday.

Yea.. Fun Times...

Most of, well pretty much all of my day today has been editing excel spreadsheets for Mr. Wonderful. Yes, this gets in my way of doing my normal tasks. Because of this, things for others have to wait. Although, keep in mind that if it is urgent or at all someone called having an issue I took care of it, which is about 3 times, all of which were just simple things. Now when I first started here I had to wait because everything went through Mr. Wonderful. These small things he thought were not as important as his excel spreadsheet that calculated the time of day and the date. Now, in all honesty, I'll do these side thigns for him, no biggie, but See something that I do not understand about this man is this. He has me edit these spread sheets that HE has made and when I edit them he expects me to understand why this guy over here is getting 81% in sales and what he sold 2 weeks from last sunday. So I edit these spreadsheets to what he wishes, But upon receiving them back from me he is quick to call me back and ask why this doesnt match up with that and why Jim doesn't have the same sales as Bob but Bob's sales are at 91%, at which time he fixes them at the very moment in a few seconds. See unlike him, I was not born with ESPN, so I can not read his mind and even if I could I dont think I could read his thoughts, especially if he thinks the way he talks, that and I don't speak his first language.

It is about 3:45pm, and I have yet another spreadsheet to edit with his mistakes, Why can't he do them. It would get done faster. I don't call him and ask him to go see why dave can not print from a third party program to his printer. Thats not his job, it mine.

Mr. Wonderful is back in town...

Yea, My Oh so ever wonderfull boss is back in town and here to stay. Isn't it grand. (Thanks Kevin, i'm gonna have a great time.) So let the festivities begin!

I had a package awaiting me yesterday at my house...

Yea, There was a package waiting for me when I got home yesterday. It was my C-Jump game I ordered, My face and eyes lit up like a kid on christmas morning, or like the first time a boy see's his first pair of boobs. Well, I was then shot down by karen, Blast! It was ordered for a Christmas present for me and my son DJ. So, we have to wait until Sunday to open it and play with it. I'm saddened by this, but I can hold out. DJ on the other hand, could not, he was bugging all night to open it. So, C-Jump game, I'm sorry but you must wait til Saturday at 11:59:59 PM. Oh yes, it will be opened at 12:00am Sunday.

Sweet...

Just got an email stating that my C-JUMP game is on its way!

I know its just a freakin Board game but, its a Programing board game fun for the Whole Family!

Buy yours Today! or Tomorrow! [BUY IT ]

You too can get your Flesh eating virus plushee or even your own Stomach Ache. From a list of 16 different infectionous plushees.

Deflexion game...

Once I saw this I fell in love. Deflexion game, it has Lasers, thats all I need to say.

No really, it has lasers. This is the setup for the Laser boardgame.

In the Deflexion game, each player has an assortment of djeds, pyramids and obelisks. These pieces either reflect the laser beam or block it (or both depending on which side is hit). If a piece blocks the beam it is classed as destroyed and removed from the board. Each player takes it in turn to move or rotate one of their pieces, after their move they can fire their laser to see what it now hits.

Very, Very interesting game. great idea. and for $ 37.95 (US) not a bad buy. I must purchase this game, or if someone out there wants to buy for me or give to my PayPal for a donation so I could get it, that would be super fantastic!

Check out the Source I read this from: Coolest-Gadgets.com
or from the actuall website that has a short cgi demo of the board game.

Also, while reading on coolest-gadgets.com theres an post about a Laser "Chess" style game. Looks great too, but it is not for sale. ;( Oh well, great thoughts.

"The phone fell off the table..." : : Part 1

I was walking around yesterday doing my thing, when I was stopped and apporached by a service tech. Well I was more so tracked down and held. Thus the exchange of communication took place.
ST = Service Tech
Me = Me

ST: "Chad! I need a new phone, mine doesnt work. It drops calls left and right, I've fucking (with a feedup tone) had it with that damn phone...."
Me: "? Ok"
ST: "Well you need to get me a new one. Lets put it this way, I don't have a phone."
Me: {chuckling} "Ok?!"

So, I walk to the Service Bay where the tech work. He shows me his fabulous phone.


Me: "Hahahahah..."
ST: "Yea, I fucking had it with the phone so I picked it up and threw it. and I'll tell ya, their made like how they work."
Me: "Well, I can get you a replacement phone, I'm not sure I can get the warranty to cover this one."
ST: "huh? I don't care I just need to have the phone so I can use the net. I dont know why I need the phone to use the net."
Me: "Well it was the wonderfull way they setup the network here with the phones, why I don't know, but they did."
ST: "Well get me up and running..."
Me: "Can do. and you know what, I'll take the phone with me and try to get the warranty, I'll tell them it fell off the table and was ran over by a tech on 'accident'. So, we'll see in the mean time I'll just hook you up straight to the network."
ST: "Ok, sounds good. Thanks"

So, here are some more images for the phone that "Fell off the table"



See Just like New!


Got the phone put back, well somewhat back together. There are a few missing pieces, small but missing. Next step phone call for the warranty. I will try to record (if I can) the conversation when getting the new phone. To post with the next part.

Another reason why I like Thunderbird over Outlook.
