Just Random Ramblings

Why oh why do people have to complain about a website when it is their problem? This totally annoys me. As a web designer I know I am liable to make mistakes in code and some things will not appear the same on some people's computers. But why in the fuck would you ever think that I would have a website that would require some porno shit to be installed on your computer? I mean think about it, do any of my site promote porno? No, I don't think so! Of course I am not talking about my site, but rather my mom's site. She had some idiot woman asking why the site would require some porno stuff to be installed!

First off, if you are getting XXX pop ups or stuff from reputable web sites first thing you should do is check your computer for spy ware and viruses! And secondly, get rid of that stupid ass browser, Internet Explorer. You should switch to Mozilla Firefox Once you have gotten rid of all the spy ware from your computer, then and only then should you write the owner of the website and whine about getting pop ups!

OK, I am off my soapbox now! And remember to make the switch to Firefox today!

How many times have you heard me talk about I have been looking for a new job? Well, I remember a few times on here. And since no one has offered to help me, I had to fine one myself. I start my new job in just over a week. I am not sure how well I will like it. I certainly hope I do tho! For privacy reasons I won't say right now what I'll be doing. Yeah that sort of makes it sound illegal, doesn't it? Well for all you know it might be! I won't say anymore!

IT seems that my life has gotten so boring that I never even have anything to write about in here. What is this all about? I think I just need to make up some stuff on here all the time just so you have something to read. I know I have one or two loyal readers out there. And yes you know who you are. Feel free to comment on here!

Does anyone have any experience with retrieving data from a failed hard drive? I got my mom's computer last week and found it had a bad hard drive. This is kind of bad because I just put that drive in there a little more than a year ago. Of course this drive was a refurb. Unfortunately this time I was unable to retried *any* data as I was able to do before when the machine died. Of course this time it is giving a different error. Every computer I have put that drive in says " drive failed" and the BIOS disables the drive. I checked with a couple of data recovery specialist and they want tons and tons of money to retrieve the data. Well, as we aren't rich people, we can't really afford to pay all that. I was just hoping someone had an idea that perhaps I can try. And from what these people charge it makes me think I should try to get into that business! I knew it would be kind of high, but I wasn't expecting almost $3000 for a 30 GB drive.

One good thing did happen today. Jeff Gordon won the Daytona 500! I was glad to see him win, although I would have rather seen Jimmy Johnson up there. Just as long as it wasn't Dale, Jr! I think Johnson made some bad decisions toward the end of the race. Better luck next time. Yeah, I am somewhat of a NASCAR fan. I am not into as much as some people, but I do enjoy watching it. One of these days I am going to go to one of the races. Of course I hear you can actually see more of the action on TV because of the mulitple cameras and such. We'll see what happens tho. Although I don't foresee Jason heading out to a race with me. Who knows tho. For now, I will be content on watching it on TV.

Til next time, enjoy yourselves!

How often does this happen to you? I am sitting here bored out of my mind. There is no one online with whom to chat. I have things I could be doing around the house, but I don't want to do those either. I am kind of tired, but just not ready to hit the sack just yet.

I made a round trip to Vidalia last night. That was fun. I was there about three hours before turning around and coming back home. I saw a few deer on the way home too. I am certainly glad they decided not to cross the road in front of me. That wouldn't have been good! I have one wrecked vehicle, I sure as hell don't need two of them!

Daddy visited me later this afternoon. He called me about 3 or so and wanted me to install his amp, so I told him to come on down. Well what I thought would have taken about two or three hours has turned into three hours and counting. I got all the wires routed to the truck like I want them. I finally pulled his radio (after having to figure out how the hell to take it out of the dash) and found he has no RCA outputs on his damn stereo. It was one that my sister had in her old car and we thought it would have the outputs on it, but we were wrong. And I guess it was shame on me for not remembering that as I was the one to install the radio into his car. I told him that he has a few options, one is to get a converter to convert speaker level inputs to low-level inputs, or buy a new stereo. He says he'll probably just buy a new radio as this one is old anyway and it doesn't sound that great anyway. He is supposed to come back tomorrow for us to go purchase whatever he decides. Then I get the joy of installing it. Hopefully it'll only take me about an hour to do the rest of it. I guess We'll see tomorrow.

I start my new job Monday. This should be really interesting. I am just gonna say that I am going to be some sort of computer support for one of the local hospitals. I just hope that I like this job. I think there are certian aspects that I might not be crazy about. But at least it is a good paying job and all that good stuff. Not to mention it is working with computers which is what I've been trying to get into for years now. I hope this is a job that I can settle into and stay for a long time. I am tired of getting a new job every couple of years. So cross your fingers for me!
