Now, I've searched several sites on the 'net and found lyrics to this song that were close. Most were off just a tad. But here are the ones that I believe are correct... This song is available via Amazon MP3 download and supposedly iTunes. But since I don't use iTunes, I cannot vouch for that.
A recommendation for you.....
Well, I had a post I started writing just after Christmas, but never finished it. I think I will just start over with this new post. What's new in the land of wyldrob?
There are a few things. I am no longer working on second shift. Now I am on first. It has taken some getting used to this. As many of you know I was in the habit of staying up really late most of the time. Ever since this move to first shift, I no longer do that. I couldn't tell you the last time I was up past Midnight. Certain people who shall remain nameless have even poked fun at me for being in bed at 9 PM. Well, I know my limits. I cannot function on little sleep, so there.
I recently acquired a new server as well. It's a pretty peppy machine. So far I like it, but it did take me a little while to get some bugs worked out of it. But it's up & running now. Now, I just need a server rack to put all this stuff in.
I am contemplating moving my web server into VMware. I am not sure how difficult it would be, nor do I know if it would slow things down or speed them up. I would hope that it would speed them up. I do know that no more traffic than I have, I shouldn't have problems with it. I just have to consider the options. I am also fairly certain there are tools that will migrate my current server into VMware. I have no experience with these utilities, but that doesn't mean I cannot learn.
How many people have ever used GIMP? I downloaded it today and have been toying with it. It's a pretty powerful program. I am still learning what all it can do. I have created a handful of new images with it already. I am going to make some more for this site. Several of the ones on here have been here for close to ten years. Ten years, damn that is a long time! It's hard to believe that this site is over 10 years old.
That's right ladies and gentlemen, I started my first website back in 1997. It has come a long way since then. A few of you might even remember where it all started, Geocities. From there it went to Tripod, and now it's on my own server with my own domain name. Of course most of the content has changed several times. Most recently, last quarter I did a site redesign. I've heard lots of positive comments about it as well. I think everything is settled and working correctly. If you notice something, just drop me a line.
I just saw a bulletin on MySpace that makes me want to rant here a little bit. It's mostly dealing with passwords, but there are some other general PC security tips here as well.
First and foremost, create secure passwords. A good strong password will contain at least three of the following:
Never store your passwords on shared PC's/workstations. I know it's very easy to just let the PC remember the password. But if it is a shared PC, then you're asking for someone to come behind you and look at your info. Be mindful when storing passwords on non-shared PC's as well. Remember, these PC's can be stolen or hacked. This makes all your stored info vulnerable.
Never write your passwords down. If they are too complex to remember, then find another password. A password should never be too complex for the owner to remember. If you feel that you must write down the passwords, get a password storing program. Such programs encrypt the files that contain the passwords and require a password to open them. These types of programs are extremely helpful if one has lots of passwords to remember. I don't have any experience with these programs. If you have any good info, please leave a comment.
Here are a few sites that contain good password creation tips/methods:

It took me a little work, but I managed to fix the jokes blog. It was a fairly simple problem. I just overlooked the files. When the site was initially published, the main file was index.html. I changed it to index.shtml, but forgot to remove the .html file. Well, I've removed that and it's all better now. In doing that I also found that all the blogs were pointing to archives.html instead of .shtml. Now all of those are fixed as well.
If you notice any other things not working, use the email link and bring it to my attention!
What in the hell is there to do at 3:30 AM when one can't sleep? I certainly can't find a damn thing to do. I guess I can only blame myself. I was laying around watching TV and fell asleep around 9:30PM. I woke up about an hour ago and now can't go back to sleep. I should try to do something constructive, but I am not motivated.
I have tried to work on the jokes blog a bit, but I cannot seem to get the style sheet correct on it. I really have no idea what is causing it either. I have copied everything from this blog and it never displays correctly. I think I have missed something, but for the life of me I have been unable to find it. Who wants to help me figure out the code issues? You'll have to email me for the link.
Who is ready for the holidays?
So for those of you who do not regularly visit my site - IOW, you have this link saved in your RSS reader - check it out! I've redone the site. YAY! I still have to redo one page, the jokes page. I am going to work on that later. I am out of time today, as I have to get ready and head off to work.
Tomorrow is class day, so it will be at least tomorrow evening before I can get a chance to work on it again. Please leave your comments to let me know what you think of the new layout. I am going to reword a lot of the pages later. I just had to get the design in place first.
