Virus Attack continued

Well, to continue. It was very irritating to have those odd things starting to happen as it dawned on me that I was being jammed. Processes wouldn't stop when I tried to turn the computer off, things started to not work. I started looking about and found a whole folder of things that I know for sure that I had nothing to do with. I found that there was a folder in the 'vicinity' of the incomplete info I had about what wouldn't close down. I looked inside it and found things I knew I hadn't put there or that anything else I loaded on my computer put on there. Things that said were 'cracks' for games I didn't have or ever loaded. I started deleting the individual files then realized there was nothing of mine in it and so deleted the whole file. All this time I'm frantically taking files and such off the computer and saving those files. Then some 'windows money' program that came with the computer which I never installed, kept trying to install itself. Okay, things are completely out of comtrol by this time and so I say screw it and wipe the drive. Then the next day all my free time is working on reloading and carefully doing things so I don't blow the computer up. Oh man, they should put virus writers in jail for a very very long time when they catch them.

Horrible Virus Attack

Oh man am I completely and totally pissed off. I have spent two good days doing repair work on my computer after a faily extensive attack. A nice backdoor trojan virus and another virus were deposited on my computer and things started to go to hell. Ahhh.

More Experimentation

This would be me checking to see if I can put more than one entry per day. I failed to see that it was 'Friday the 13th' which would mean a day of bad omen if you were to believe in that sort of thing. Personally I don't see how a that is arbitrarily known as 'Friday the 13th' could be bad luck. You know the calendar is a creation of man and as such there is no reason that this particular day is this particularly named and numbered day. Humm.

And on the Second Day

And on the second day I put a few favorite links up for myself, places I frequently find myself. They are very good links. The Buddhism site, Snow Lion Publications has a good and large catalog of anything buddhist you might want. I prefer the Buddha statutes, Green and White Tara's, prayer beads, just everything is very nice and calming. So if you have always wanted your own Stupa now you know where to go.

The MetaForce link deserves another bit of a write up. This is a hard rock group from Germany, in the vein of Rammstein and Nine Inch Nails or NIN if you prefer. The fellow very respectfully and politely asked about using some of the more horrific images from my work to use for his album. I of course said yes and recently he has put some of the songs up on his website in mp3 format and ready for download. The music is great and I'm glad he used my art for his cover.

Dave Orchid is a fellow I know from years on the ICQ. I taught him anything he possibly knows about art and while he isn't as good looking or as talented as I am he does have a certain drive and determination and I admire that. He also has a very debilitating disease that limits his body greatly but not his spirit. A fine fellow from the Great Rainy North of the US. The Kohl Eyed woman is a mystery to me, other than the fact that she has linked to my site. I can only thank her for her good taste.

The rest of the links are pretty self explanatory. If you are at all interested in technology and in how 'geeks' think then you'll owe it to yourself to check out slashdot and wired. All of the sites are places I find very interesting and you might enjoy them as well.

Letting Tripod do the Hard Work

Greetings,

While having my own little blog laid open and musing about what I would write for this day I thought back to the day before and the blog builder that I could use at Tripod. Humm, well I thought it couldn't hurt and so here I go with a way to take most of the effort out of writing this while also exercising my brain to write. It makes perfect sense to me. I like the subdued color scheme of it and it looks similar to what I was thinking of doing anyway.

If you had come to my blog from my page then you pretty much know you are at a pretty eclectic place. Art work and photos by me as well as a serious side of the site to include law school outlines as well as important death penalty information and photos. The art work is from images of beauty to horror to fantasy. The photos are of things I see and have seen. From Amish farmers to wildlife to buddhist monks.

My site, for all it's diversity does receive many many visitors who are as diverse as is the content. I wouldn't have it any other way. In all my site, this blog, my other blog and anything I put on the web stands as a beacon of me. Or as Agent Smith says in the Matrix Reloaded, "Me, me, me, me." I've always loved Agent Smith. Hugh Weaving may not be the one, but he is the man. As always, 888-888-8888. Be seeing you. Gilbert at www.gadlaw.com
