So between last night around 4pm and this morning, I’ve gotten about 23 emails with virus’s attached to them. Oddly enough, none of the AOL accounts I have access to received any of them at all (although there were plenty of emails on how to get a huge gorilla sized penis).
It seems some times, that when you can’t spend any money it’s when you want most to spend some. Now, it’s not that I’m poor, or realy couldn’t afford to buy pretty much anything I want. It’s just that we want to invest in the house more than anything at this current time.
That being said, I found the coolest thing ever (for at least this week):

How cool is that? It’s a 75 cd organizer that connects via USB to your computer and keeps a database of what CD is where. You can even program it to remind you to return CD’s after a period of time. Here’s a demo. Cost’s about 99 bucks, which is not to bad really. Personally I think it’d make a perfect valentine’s day gift
Well better go make some coffee…..still tired from working last night’s maintenance window.

Despite the crappy weather here today, some good things have been happening.
I got a new sun desktop delivered today (Ultra 5) so that’s pretty cool. I chairmanned a pretty cool conf call today about tunnel grouping, and I think we actually got a lot achieved. Also got a chance to wear a wool sweater I got for christmas for the first time (thanks jen).
….strange, just got like 4 virus’s with the attachement “document.zip” which is nothing but a poorly hidden exploit of a *.pif file…..oh well, looks like a new virus just dumped itself on the web.
Speaking of stupid people, you have to watch this video:
- How not to pull a car out of snow.
And remember the future is in our childrens hands *shudder*…..

That’s the only reason so explain why he made so many……
So i’ve been getting dictionary attacks of virus’s to a bunch of emails at my site:
julie (at) dennisjudd (dot) com
dslreguser (at) dennisjudd (dot) com
bill (at) dennisjudd (dot) com
And they are all coming from the same damn IP address of 63.161.118.40. Which belongs to:

Now I googled the place and actually called them. Now can you only imagine the joy in explaining what a /28 is to pablo the front desk person. So after talking to his “computer guy” (…and I bet he’s even certified) they (Pablo, the wonder tech/front desk guy) tell me that they dont have any SMTP servers onsite.
So pablo transfer’s me to their dedicated Sprint tech support….and here I sit smack in the middle of “smooth jazz hold music” limbo.
Actually the guy at sprint/Frank was pretty nice about the whole thing (me not being a customer and all) so we’ll see what happens. Supposedly he’s escilating it to an engineer.
So the summary is: Don’t open email’s that just say “hi” or “hello’, and especially don’t open strange zip files called “document.zip” or “body.zip”.
Fucking virus’s……guess I should head home.

Is there anyway finer to spend a sunday off than combing thru radus debug log’s and converting hexadecimal? I submit that there isn’t!
Only 8 more days till the closing! Very nervous about anything going wrong, not to mention the huge amount of work this is going to generate. Already have plans to be moving stuff all day after the closing (gotta get my tools and workbenches over before I can get any work done on the house).
Spent a lot of time lately looking for supplies for the new house. Sure we are on a budget, but we want to find the perfect stuff of course. For example right now we are looking at:
- Kenmore Elite Fridge
- Price pister faucet (stainless steel of course)
Thats about all we know for sure now. Of course the sink isn’t really important as far as who makes it. Just as long as it’s 18 gauge or so. Plus we can’t really order any Pergo until we sign on the dotted line…..no sense in investing in something until it’s final, right?
So basically I’m relaxing today, trying to stay warm, and playing some FFX-2 (in the 99 bevelle dungeon, level 54 I think). Maybe later on I’ll drop by rick and kristin’s to steal some beer, but for now i’m just going to eat my instant chicken ramen and relax (and keep the cat’s warm apparently).
Fear not faithful reader, for I have not forgotten your need for clever, funny links to read on your day off:
- Starsky & Hutch: Check out the trailer
- Convenience store clerk charged with stealing winning ticket from customer. Really interesting story.
- Woman’s skin falls off……..lives to tell tale. Words “holy” and “crap” reported to have been said.
- Learn more about Mad Cow disease. An oldie but goodie.
- Car surfing stunt ends in dead kid. Jackass blamed by default, court issues summon’s for “teen wolf”. Responsibilty reportedly banned from proceedings.

I want to propose a change.
I believe that we, as a nation, should convert to metric time as opposed to standard. This would give me many more needed hours in the day to complete everything I need to get done. From planning that pesky OSPF conversion for the ERX 1400′s to hashing out the implementation of tunnel grouping in a wholesale L2TP tunnel environment in order to gain dynamic balance loading and redundantcy. Not to mention doing the dishes, and the cat litter. Oh yeah and we’re buying a house. My mom’s house is having a home inspection saturday, and aside from ripping up the carpeting, replacing the toilet, and moving everything out of my mom’s garage (mostly tools, but some other crap), I still am trying to keep up with all the new tv on….
back in a minute, scrubs is on……
…ok, i’m back. but i have to hurry before ER comes on…
So any way’s…bitch, bitch, bitch. Moan, piss, moan, piss, rinse, repeat. My life sucks, everything’s overwhelming, and these pants make my ass look fat.
Links? Low in carbs and fat:
- . What more could you want?
- Great article on the SCO vs. The world mess going on. Lot’s of good background.
…awww crap, ER is a repeat.
- Credit cards are evil….nobody listens to me when I say that.
- Need a new laptop? Try the new Amish 2k4 model.
- How much Beer is in a Keg? Rob’s site is very witty, and has enough content to last a lifetime.

So here’s something pretty cool and stupid of me.
Jen got back today from Ireland, and when she was over there she snagged a few military MRE’s for me to eat.
I’ve always been fascinated with the entire concept of MRE’s since I was in middle school. The idea that a full meal (physically, and nutritionally) could be contained in such a small and efficient space is just fascinating to me. Some of the benfits are:
- No refridgeration or special storage, they just go on a shelf
- small and lightweight (especially compared to can’s)
- incredible shelf life! (5 years plus easily)
- all food is pre cooked, and all you need is in it
Here’s a pic of the outside and inside:

That green thing is what’s called a “heater”, basically it’s a one time use bag for heating the main entree up to 200 degrees. This isn’t necessary to eat it, but it is a nice feature to eat warm food compared to cold. The cool thing is it only uses water as the catalyst, and not much water at that.
So I just thought that was pretty cool. I tried the “grilled chicken” one for lunch. It’s not the greatest tasting thing in the world….heck, none of it is. But you know what, it’s still pretty damn cool. If this was all I had to eat, I couldn’t be to happy, but fuel is fuel and this beats eating bugs and twigs.
Oh and the gifts just keep coming, Jen also grabbed some beer for me while she was in Cyprus:

THEY’RE HUGE! It’s like some type of European 40oz ghetto thing going on. Pretty cool though
Oh yeah, and I upgraded from 2.51 to 2.66 Moveable Type, so if your that spammer that tried to post a comment in every post i’ve ever made last night you can kiss my hairy mother fucking, son of a bitch, rosey red ass! Oh yeah, and I banned your IP…..dipshit.

So Rick and Kristin moved today back to IL. It’s kind of funny because I helped them get ready to move out to St. Louis and now when they move back (like 2 blocks away) i’m moving away in about a month. Kinda sucks, but it’s always good to have friends back where you can mock them in person instead of via email
Speaking of which as thanks for my help they brought me some Fat Tire beer! Rock on! I mean not even some sissy little pansy 6 pack but a full 12 pack!

Oh yeah, and btw, rich as the couch from fucking hell! This thing just damn near fit in the apartment.
Now I’m not talking about the standard “just damn near fit” I’m talking about the “break out the butter and grease the sides cause if you don’t i’m gonna take an axe and make it a sectional” just fit. But I really shouldn’t complain, cause we’re gonna be moving in a month and I need all the help I can get just to move my filing cabinet (imagine ancient egyptian’s moving the stones they used to make the pyramid’s…..yeah, it’s kind of like that).
Speaking of lot’s of stuff in tight places, check out this link. It’s a house that’s filled with so much crap it’s frightening.
Wait a minute….did you look at the link? No, i’m not kidding….you need to see this.
Now I don’t know if you know me or not, but i’ve seen and done a lot of crap in my life. I cleaned out my Grandparent’s house, and my mother’s when she passed away. I’ve seen other things in other house’s I’d rather never remember (basements full of cat shit, and kitchen ceilings with rotting holes), and i’m telling you…this puts them all to shame.

Googlism?

*cry* IT’S TRUE, IT’S ALL TRUE!!!!! *sob*
