Thank you Pull Forward...

The other day, Karen wanted KFC for dinner. So I drove down to the nearest KFC and went through the drive-through. As we approached the Menu, I thought I wonder if they take ATM, being I didnt have any cash on me. So its our turn to order. I thought I would ask the attendant if they took ATM.

Attendant: "Welcome to KFC, ..." Blah Blah " order when your ready."
Me: "Do you guys take ATM Cards?"
Attendant: "No, Only Debit Cards."
Normally the answer from them is "As long as it has a Visa or Mastercard logo."
The answer that was given actually stumped me and I couldnt order, I turned and looked at karen, and asked just to make sure. "ATM and Debit card's are used the same way, right?"

Ah..

So, I've gone back to a Template for my blog. Why you ask, Because I couldn't get the Comments issue fixed. So now you can comment. Im gonna redo the layout and hopefully I wont have that issue again.

Not much in the world of mine. I turned another full year older yesterday. So Happy Un-Birthday to me today! Why I think its Your Un-Birthday today Too! Ah.. More Tea!
I have an excellant Idea... Lets change the Subject!

Thats a Great Price!

Was walking by the vending machine here at and work and notice something that made smile and laugh, So I snapped a photo with my trusty Cell Phone with that nifty Camera built in.

So if I get the Lime flavored Gatorade its 1.75 and if I get the others its only 1.50. Hmm, Thats a fantastic price!

Two or 10... Hmmm Interesting.

42 Times. Once in the right Direction. Twice In the other direction and three times a twinkie. Why is it that 1 can not be enough, but 3 is a crowd. If I can get Whole Sliced Peaches for a $ 1.75, why is it that Jimmy cracks corn. How do you crack corn, anyway. So back to 42. It's said 42 is the meaning of life, or the answer. So My question, is what was asked to get the answer. Was it how much does this Pearing Knife set Cost? Or Is it, How much the Doggy in the window really is? Or is it just the answer when you Multiply 6 by 7. Either way I will never know if its 42 licks to the center of a Tootise pop.

I actually hoped I would have something more meaningful and factual. Well, I could tell you that that the answer is "2 b" ("to be").

Something like that. I'll post something more meaningfull and useless. Oh and I'll try to fix the comments button too.

To Unlock or Not to Unlock... This is the Question...

Got an email today regarding how to unlock your car if you locked your Keys in the car. No, this isnt done by calling OnStar or Triple A, as I thought it might be.

These types of email are all over the place and find their way around the net. I personally don't think so. For one, a Cell phone is a different Frequency than your car's security alarm and the Lock/unlock remote.

But, Here's the email anyway.

"LOCKED KEYS IN YOUR CAR"

This is ingenious... If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your
car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button
of your key fob (clicker), holding it near the phone on their end.
Your car doors will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object you could be hundreds of miles away,
and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote"
for your car, you can unlock the doors (or trunk)!
Editor's note: It works fine! We tried it out, and it unlocked our car.
And no, this is Fiction. For one I went and tried and secondly I did a google search for this story and came across this. So, thats that. Don't Believe everything you get in an email. The best way to get into the car.. Use a "Slim Jim" or a Wire Coat hange. They work fine, I know this from experiance.

Window Tinting and Wireless...

They don't mix.

So don't put a Wireless connection behind a Very Dark Tinted window. Unless you dont want the outside world to use your connectiong. I've learned this from experince. and also looked it up on the net. Heres one link for it.

Yes, I racked my knoggin on this one. Trying to setup two Access points to act as a bridge to use a VoIP Phone. One AP was set up in a Gazebo (sp) and the other in a Building that has a big window, in-which is very much tinted. Closed the door to the room and bam, Connection lost. Arrgg.. WTF. Before all this both AP's were testing and worked fine. So, when they were put in place, they had a low signal. I check to make sure the distance was not a factor, which it was not. Low and behold it was the damned Tinting on the Window. Good Times

Hacker Gains Root access to MAC OS x in 30 min.

Yep True... and about damn time...
Although Gwerdna said that Mac OS X contains unpatched vulnerabilities that would permit a hacker to infiltrate Apple's operating system, he said that the relatively small number of Macs in use -- in contrast to the vast number of PCs running Windows -- is the reason more hackers do not try to exploit them.
Very interesting and funny read.. Althought it was a contest theres still a lesson to be learned...
The lesson here is that if we look at Mac OS X and compare it to, say,
Windows XP, we find that, in terms of the number of vulnerabilities, they are actually quite comparable," said Vincent Weafer, senior director at Symantec Security Response.

I am a Jedis' Apperentice...

Mr. Wonderfull calls me to his office today. (One of many times) Shows me he's having problems connecting to a pc at the northern california dealership. But before I continue, I must explain how we conntect to each other. We have a VPN connection between both dealerships, so in-essense I can conenct to 192.168.100.xxx (workstation) from 192.168.50.xxx (workstation). We use Remotely anywhere to Remote to each station. Now normally there isnt any issue with connecting to each other. But when you have another Nic card installed, and its directly connected to a DSL connection, IE will connect through the DSL rather than the Networked connection. So naturally, if you try to access 192.168.100.xxx, it will not connect being its not going through the VPN that has been setup. I explain this to him and disable the DSL connection for the time being. Upon thinking about why he has or needs a second Nic card I engage in a small conversation with Mr. Wonderfull.

Me: "So, why do you need a second nic card anyways?"
Mr.W: "Because..."
Me: "Why? theres really no need for it, your pc doesnt have any bandwidth load problems..."
Mr.W: "I need it, and When you are ready I will tell you why I have it, until then you do not need to know."
Me: "..."
I walk out of the office and think to myself, Am I some sort of padawan? That answer just doesn't make sense. "When I am ready?". What the hell kind of answer is that.

I need to stop asking "Why?" with this man, he is simply amazing with the things he comes up with.
