day 4

May 312005

I have now been alone for 4 days…the dishes are piled in the kitchen, I haven’t vacuumed yet, and the mailbox is sitting in the garage half stripped.
I had these crazy ideas of sitting around being lazy while Jen’s visiting her mom but honestly there just isn’t enough time in the day. Especially thanks to a rusty 80 dollar mailbox (oh…don’t worry I’ll be posting about that soon…grrrr) and work being a freaking nightmare.
We really need to start pushing ACL’s via LDAP…this router based deployment is a nightmare to update :(
Oh man that paint remover…wow I am so light headed…..I even have the garage door open and a fan blowing…must be powerful stuff.

Paying the high price of AntiVirus

At what point does the cure become worse than the disease?
Over the years it has become common for me to kill as many tasks as possible on my PC in order to give the latest and greated video game all the resources it needs. This has often made me wonder “why is all this crap running?”
Enter into the picture Norton Antivirus/System works. One of my favorite and most trusted friends over the years since my 486sx 25mhz packard bell computer first succumbed to the Stoned.empire virus back in 96′. Back before the internet was a household necessity, these 3 floppies gave me the power I needed to keep my computer running. Win Doctor, Disk Doctor, Degrag, AntiVirus, it was the whole kit and kaboodle in one.
Over the years though, Norton has seemed to let itself go. No longer the slim, quick program I fell in love with, now it’s gotten larger, slower and spead itself all over my computer.
Today my Antivirus subscription expired, another underhanded tool used by companies to force rotating upgrades and guarentee revenue, so I did what most people wouldn’t consider. I uninstalled it.
Here are screen caps of my before stats on my system:

And after installing Norton Systemworks, Live Update, and Norton WMI. The last two I had to do manually as they were still in the add/remove program section of the control panel. Just another example of virulent programming. Below are screen caps of my system after a reboot and before running any programs:

The end result was my page file dropped from 231mb to 159mb and the number of running processes dropped an amazing 10 from 33 to 23.
That means that 10 processes on my computer were simply there just for Norton Antivirus. Nearly 1/3 of my comptur was being dedicated to simply stopping virus’s before I had even had the time to launch Internet Explorer….why I must be using the safest computer in the world!!!
As computers become faster and more disposable, I’m forced to draw the conclusion that it is not in the industries best interest to make better code. Just keep making it larger and more invasive so they can’t change and so they keep upgrading.

- The most annoying thing in the universe, crazy frog. And as a bonus an animated flash movie about him.
- I know our neighbors are bad, but thank god they aren’t this bad.
-Does anyone else remember SuperTed?

- What happens to Reality Show rejects after the camera’s are turned off?
-Everyone’s got Star Wars fever it seems, here’s another cute Lego Star War’s mini movie Revenge of the Brick. I haven’t seen the movies and don’t plan to but will be playing lego star wars someday….
I’ve been working a lot of late nights/early morning relating to a big project going on a work for Yahoo. I tell you I can’t wait until it’s all over and I can go back to sleeping. Staying up until 830am really messes with your head, but honestly, isn’t it a bad sign that I was able to drink two cups of coffee and go to bed like 45 minutes later????

Tales of Symphonia

Me and Jen just started playing this great RPG called Tales of Symphonia. The really cool part is you can have up to 4 people play along.

I mean, you look at the game and think it’s a kiddy game, but then you start playing it and it’s surprisingly hard and deep. There’s a lot to learn here….now the only problem is finding enough time for both of us to play it :(
- Clientcopia, learning to deal with idiots that darwin hasn’t reached yet. Kind of like I work with fools, but in tiny bite size easy to carry pieces. Yes David, I did steal it from you.
- A Video of a cat falling from a tree. Of course he lived….do you really think i’d put it up here if he hadn’t.

- Hapland2! Prepare to kill yourself with frustration!
- Ever wanted to see a Volkswagon GTI catch on fire and burn? Kind of sad really…

why can't everybody be like me?

I don’t want to be that guy. You know that guy who’s always complaining about the stupidest stuff and pissing off people, but I honestly just can’t bare it anymore.
Our fucking neighbors are rude bastardages.
For the last fucking week, their son’s piece of shit beater car has been parked in the exact center of the front of our house. Every time I look out my window I am greeted with the sight of 2000lbs of metal slowly returning to the earth in front of our house.
Wtf mate? Why in god’s name are they parking in front of our house and not their own? They don’t even use their garage for their cars! They hang out in it like it’s a freakin’ clubhouse. It’s slowly driving me nut’s! The front of their house is completely empty! 100% free of any type of vehicle at all. There’s nothing there at all except some bird shit and a pine cone…..so why the fuck park in front our our house???? I DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!

I swear I’m not crazy. Neighbor 1 is always parking in front of our house..even on garbage day. And on the few random days that I do manage to park in front of my own fucking house, his father parks their fucking saturn there like 1 freakin’ inch from my bumper….ARGH!
And then, like every other weekend, neighbor 2 has somebody vising that parks on the other side of our driveway….like literally right up to our driveway.
PARK IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE YOU ARE VISITING!! WHY IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND????!!!!!
jesus, it drives me crazy. The sad thing is neighbor 1 are really nice people, they’ve even helped me a few times…I just don’t understand why I have to explain this to them. It seems to me as a basic concept…like wiping your ass after shitting….i didn’t have to explain that to them did i? then why this?
There’s only two solutions to this:
1. Start parking our cars in front of their houses. Let’s see how much they like it after the first week.
2. Park both cars and bikes out there in front to block it all from everyone…thereby effectively pissing all over it like an animal.
