IMPOSTER!!!

There's an imposter in my mac-n-chesse

How to easily delete your hotmail indox/spam box.

It's simple really. Don't sign in for at least 31 days, and on the 32nd day, log in and viola you have a clean inbox and spambox.

I know this because it's been that long since I've check my hotmail account. Though I dont really use it, because I have about 3 gmail accounts I use. Only thing I get thats worth while in my hotmail account is the Beta testing stuff from microsoft, in which I might have to re-sign up for. But who knows.

"We Run 24x7!' But we're out of the office....

So I openup Thunderbird (the other, better, Outlook) . And like normal I get a phishing scam from said company. Like I normally do, I forward the email with full headers and message on to the company (who was intended to be impersonated) and the anti-phishing groups. So I forwarded it and oddly I got an email back from where I forwarded it to. This is what I got back.


Normaly, when you get an out of office auto reply, the reply doesnt state that you are around 24x7. Just thought this was amusing read in the email. So, what 24x7 support is this?

Here are some anti-phishing / Reporting site you can send your phishing emails to:

• US-Cert.gov Report Phishing
• Anti-Phishing Work Group

Of course you should also report the scam to which ever institution is being impersonated. Like some of the following:

• Wellsfargo Bank and Trust
• Capital One
• PayPal
• eBay
  

A Nice site with an Anti-Phishing Tool bar is NetCraft. I suggest it's use to people whom are do not properly know how to notice a bogus/fake site.

Happy and Safe browsing.

Charlie Brown...

CHARLIE BROWN
HAS NEVER KNOWINGLY
TAKEN STEROIDS.

BY ANDREW AND EDWARD KIRKPATRICK

- - - -

(Court reporter's transcript.)

- - - -

DISTRICT ATTORNEY OTHMAR: Wah wah-wah wah, wah, wah wah-wah-wah wah?

CHARLIE BROWN: I'm sorry, sir, but I didn't knowingly lie to the grand jury.

D.A.: Wah-wah-wah-wah?

BROWN: I did not knowingly take steroids, sir. Period. Snoopy gave me something to make me throw harder, but he said it was flaxseed oil and vitamin drops. I was tired of having the ball hit back up the middle and all my clothes torn off.

D.A.: Wah wah wah-wah?

BROWN: He's my dog, sir. He said he got the stuff from Woodstock.

D.A.: Wah wah wah-wah?

BROWN: A little yellow bird, sir.

D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah wah wah-wah wah wah wah wah-wah-wah wah-wha-wah wah wah wah wah?

BROWN: Yes, sir.

D.A.: Wah wah wah wah-wah-wah wah-wah?

BROWN: We were boyhood friends, sir.

D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah wah wah wah wah?

BROWN: My head's always been this big. Ask Sally. And I'm not going bald; I've never had more than three hairs, sir.

D.A.: Wah-wah wah.

BROWN: What's backne?

D.A.: Wah-wah wah-wah wah.

BROWN: Gross.

D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah wah.

BROWN: Greenies? Sure, there were amphetamines, but we didn't know they were illegal. Linus said they'd help us play with more pep. We only took them once, and then after the game we went back to my house and everybody started dancing crazy while our catcher played the piano.

D.A.: Wah-wah-wah wah wah-wah wah-wah wah.

BROWN: I play for the love of the game, sir.

D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah?

BROWN: Yeah, we've lost a lot of games over the years.

D.A.: Wah-wah wah. Wah-wah wah-wah wah wah wah.

BROWN: Who told you that, sir?

D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah.

BROWN: Hey, no way. You can't believe anything Franklin put in that book. You all are ... you're stupid blockheads!

(The courtroom erupts in a babble of wah-wahs.)

D.A.: Wah-wah-wah wah wah-wah wah. Wah.

(The witness begins to cry.)

BROWN: Have you ever seen our team, sir? We're hopeless. Just hopeless. The right fielder spends half the time in the infield trying to talk the catcher into going out with her. Our first baseman carries a blanket onto the field. My dog is the shortstop! He's the definition of "all field, no hit," and you don't even want to touch the ball after he catches it with his mouth. Have you ever lost a game 60-0? We needed a competitive advantage. I was sick of all the attention going to Peppermint Patty. Peppermint Patty's so great. She's so wonderful. She's been on the juice for years! Why do you think Marcie always calls her "sir"? Her testosterone levels are through the roof. But no one says anything because she's a girl. Franklin, Marcie, Pig-Pen ... they're all on the stuff.

D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah.

BROWN: I don't think so, sir. This is a witch hunt out to get Charlie Brown, because Charlie Brown is a boy.

D.A.: Wah-wah wah wah wah wah wah-wah wah-wah-wah.

(The witness holds his head in his hands.)

BROWN: Does this mean our one win has to be forfeited?

"So Blogged.. Cant stand it anymore.....Ahhhggg"

Yea I haven't blogged in a while. So here I am blogging again, I know, I know.. I should do this in the privacy of my own home (in which I am).

So what has been going on with me lately. Well, the New job is still going strong and kicking ass. I'm still working Graveyard shift (12am to 9am), which I see my self working for a while. I enjoy it alot gives me the day to do things, or until I go to sleep one of the two. Generally that doesnt happen untill about 3pm or 4pm and awake at about 9:30pm or 10pm.

Nothing really new, just been working and home and some side projects. Yep, this is a boring post. I'll try to liven it up a little. But I dont work with mr wonderful anymore so, my day goes by uneventfull, or more so with silly tasks. There are somethings that happen at work that are funny and worth posting but I usually dont get the chance to post them due to my brain having issues every now and then.

Happy 15th Birthday, WorldWideWeb!

For those of you who don't remember, the Web was announced to the world on August 6, 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee on the alt.hypertext newsgroup. You were a subscriber, weren't you?

Wahoo Black Betty, Bam-a-lamb...

Stupid Demo wont install on my pc.. Bastards.
(Was trying to install Visual Studio .Net 2005 Beta 2, a cd/dvd I've had for awhile I actually got from microsoft... Amazingly its not working.Bastards.)

It's midnight at 10am.

Graveyard Shift. Its a wonderful thing. Makes the day go by much faster, simply because you sleep through it. Just finished my second week on grave. And I have to say, Im rather enjoying it. The work day just flies by, even when there is nothing for me to do. And Yes, I have been neglecting my blogging duties, but it is not really my fault, well yes it is but Im blaming the job. So, deal with it. All in all the only thing I'd have to say I miss is being with the kids and karen. But now that the kids are out of school for the summer I shall see them during the day when I get home. Im thinking of not heading to slumber until about 3pm that way I can sleep until 9 or so. Well If I can make it to 3, Its all really a matter of getting my sleeping habits changed over to this new time schedule. Did I mention that Im a day behind everyone else. Something like that.

As for other things there there and here. Doing what I can when I can. Oh, I went back to the dealership the other day. Karen had a doc apt in riverside so I droped her off and then went trucking over there. Man, Do I miss that place, No.. No I don't, I can't back that up, really I don't not at all. And yes, Mr. Wonderfully has called in the past for odd questions about where is this and how did you do that and "Did I leave the stove on again." kind of things. And I come to find out the Tablet PC's that where setup and Working when I left, are not working. Apparently, ever since the ERA people came out and setup the program on them they stopped working away/off the docking stations. So once you pull them from a Lan connection and go Wireless they decide to protest and not work. I was talking with one of the mechanics and he thinks is has to deal with the fact that the ERA program (which runs kinda like a telnet session), that is so old that it really doesnt know what to do with the Wireless connection that it says Fuck you and quits. Hence why it works on the lan. But hey, NOT my problem any more. Ahhhh... Much better.

So ah.. other than that I said Hi to a few people. and here a few other classic stories since I've been gone. Funny stuff too, but for another post.. Im hungry.

Was looking through some old backup cd's and found a few photos. heres one of them

I know where my keys are.

I found them.. Oddly enough they were outside next to the dog food bins.

Where the F**k are my keys?

Where the F**k are my keys?

Keys... Hello Keys?

All day today... and I still havent found them.

I scratched an icth...

Yea, While helping someone out with flash, I scratched an itch I had and gave my pc a virus, well more so a parasite and some spyware that was most annoying to remove so I formated. Funny thing it is. I kicked my self in the ass not for opening the file, for er ah a short patch process, (not from the user's file), but for formating the drive without saving my bookmarks and some documents. How ever I did find this niffty extension for FireFox called FoxMarks. Which Uploads and syncronizes your bookmarks online for you to sync with at another pc. But alot of good it does me at the moment. Ah well it will be easy for next time.

I like infecting my pc every 6 months or so with a virus or spyware and then have fun removing it. Well mainly just sitting here and reformating my pc and installing all the neat stuff back on it.

I found this Matchbook sir.

No match sticks or books here, so if you came for them, you'll be disappointed if you continue on, and Sorry to waste your reading this when you could have stopped awhile ago, Well actually, Im not sorry because You could have stopped.

Roaming around looking for a link on a project im working on at home I came across an engery drink rating site: www.screamingenergy.com. Of course I have to look and read some of them.. Wow. Some I've never heard and I want them. I liked this one.. Spaz Juice, and this one I'd have to agree with the editor. But of course, Monster has one of the best ratings.

Check out my new Palm-Pilot

It runs off Linux and I use VI editor. (Buh Da Da Clang!)
(Theres actually more smeard writing on my hand but you cant really see it)

Walking, Walking Walking, Breathe

The New Job at the Casino is freaking great. I'm loving it, the day goes by so fast. Im currently working day shift, so we'll see how fast the day goes when I start swing or grave. Working at the casino is a blast, believe it or not. I enjoy it a hellaway more than the craptacular dealership. Working on a Ticket system is easy, I look at my tickets and get them done, Im not stopped every 15mins to fix a spreadsheet, or look at a spreadsheet that I just sent out. Nope, just my work and thats it, Im very much appericated when I complete a ticket. When you go to a user (which is pretty much 75% of the time, your thanked. Something that was rare from the dealership, although there were times that I was thanked, but not from Mr. Wonderful. But that is all in the past.Really though the New place Rocks! Yea, Im actually working in an IT environment and not some half assed-mickey moused network, er, spagetti'd group of computers. Thing matter.

So, I'll end that aburptly because I didnt keepup with the train of thought that was traveling through my mellon.

Oh did I mention the walking? No? ok then I will.

Yea the walking and walking to and from each user is nice. Should be loosing some pounds for this. Yea, I work-out. hahahaha

Oh, I forgot the Kitchen Sink.

Yea, about that...

Last Friday was grand, kinda like the last day of school, you know your there but you pretty much do nothing. Well, I did a few things to tiddy up around a leave a few notes and what not, but I left early. I know Mr. Wonderful was kinda mad at the fact that he didnt have any one to replace me before I left and that I couldn't be there this week for the install, or I should say implementation of the service advisor's tablet pc's. Don't know much as so far to this week other than Mr. W calling today. So, If I know more...

First Day, New Job. New Wooden Spoon.

First day on the new job, Had orientation today at my new employer, Pala Casino Spa & Resort. Mainly orientation was first part of the morning, after lunch. Oooooh Lunch, Yea, I get free food. Yum! Actually it is good food, so far, so cant complain on that aspect. Parking, Ahh Yes, Fantastic, employee's have their own section, and no more fighting and having a brisk walk to and from your car to your office. Oh sorry, Back to the day events. After lunch, I started the (actually second tour) of the casino, which was more indepth than the first one. Every employee I've meet today has seemed very friendly, everything is up beat, which is good. Heh, back to the post, and stop rambling... Got setup with User name and what not today, and started my shadow process and followed a co-worker around. This will be my first job that I will use a Ticket system, which I think is great. No more Excel spreadsheets for mee! Nor, no more waiting to fix an issue. By the way, Mr Wonderful called me this morning. He needed to know why I set something up the way I did, so I explained and he said, "Oh". I think I will expect other calls. But thats besides the point of the post. So on ward. Actually thats pretty much the days events in a nut shell. So until next time, I bid thee ado.

Question to ponder...

Why do pc's have a hibernate/sleep key on the keyboard?

Two Days... To Go...

Then my friend I shall be free of wonderfully fantastic place I work for and Off to Start a new adventure.

Supprisingly, Mr. Wonderfull has been decent with me over the past week, well in away I shouldnt be so supprised, I've been getting the feeling that I am needed there and that the place can not function well without me. But, I will find this out later when a friend of mine informs me in a bout a month.

I'll Post more Friday, my last day at the dealership.

"Whats this?" ... "Read it."

I didn't post yesterday's events so I shall post them right now, well then I should say, because now just happend then, and now is now a few minutes ago, or a while ago. Something like that.

So, I walk into Mr. Wonderfull's Office with a Sheet of printed paper, Set the sheet of paper on his desk.

Mr.W: "Whats this?"
Me: "Read it."
MrW: {reads paper and mumbles while reading.}
MrW: "I knew you where going to be leaving, and I thought I told you a few months ago that you need to tell me when your leaving."
Me: "Yea, I am telling you now. I'm giving you my two weeks..."

This is what I handed him...

I hereby tender my resignation as Network and Systems Technician from Singh Chevrolet. My last day will be May 5, 2006.

Thank you very much for the opportunity and learning experience.

That was it. I didnt think it was hard to understand. So the conversation continued...

MrW: "I know this, but I need some time so I can train someone to take your place."
Me: "Yes, that is why I am giving you My 2 WEEKS Notice. My last Day being May 5th."
MrW: "I know, I will need to train someone.."
Me: "Why? I started here with out any training. Its not like this network is large and what I do here is hard."
MrW: "Thats not the point."

He then continued on about how I know what Im doing and such and he needs this and that. So Im guessing he's expecting the next person he traps, er, gets wont know the difference between left and right mouse click. I also told him I dont plan on just leaving, unless he gives me shit or requests one of his many fantastic ideas to be carried out. He didn't put up much of a bitch, but I know he's pissed about it. I've also told the service manager about it and he told me Why leave, this is the greatest place to work! Ha! ;)

In long there is currently no one to fill my place, co-workers wonder if Mr. W Jr is going to take it, Which would pretty much be live not having anyone. I highly doubt they will get someone with skills like mine or simular to work there, or at least for long. Til next time.
