I'm note sure what site is doing it, but be very aware that some coupon sites are installing adware/spyware on visitors to their sites computer.

I've been having good luck removing it with Malwarebytes. There's a how to video on talkechblog.com that shows how to use it.

Anti-virus 2009 even gos so far as to install a screensaver that makes it look like your computer is getting a blue screen of death. Very clever.

Anti-Virus 2009 is an amazing piece of spyware. They go to great lengths to trick you. Use Malwarebytes to remove it.

Ceiling Cat is Watching

Imagine my surprise, walked in to the office and went to my bench and there's a Post-It on my monitor. What does it say, you ask? To be brief it said Ceiling Cat is watching you. When I looked up this what I found. If you don't get it... Google it!

Whew... It's over 100 now

Went to take a better pick for 99 and now it says 00.

It's hotter in here

Uh Oh, apparently we have to shut off another of our A/C units. It says 99 can't hardly make it out.

It's Hot in Here

Air Conditioner in the server room decided to die. Wow, it get's hot in our office when there is no A/C.

A pain in the rear...

OK. Here's the story. Justin and I are working in an attic. We were running CAT5 for a client. The attic of this place was a tight fit for us. I had rested myself against one of the rafters. Well, just so happens I started to slip. Obviously, I tried to catch myself, when I scooted back against the rafter I stuck myself in the rear with a splinter. OUCH! We finished the job and I went home. Sherri was getting ready to go to work. I had asked her to see if she could pull it out. She couldn't get a hold of it. So, I had to go to the emergency room. At the ER I walked in and said "I have a splinter in my rear." OK, it's funny but the doctor didn't have to say "Sorry, we're not taking anymore pain in the butt patients." Funny Guy, actually they were great. It is kind of funny. Anyhow, once in the room the doctor had to get a scapel to cut the thing out. Not so nice, "butt" had to be done. Anyhow that is the story. I've told it many times before. Now it's on the Internet forever. Just to prove it here's the picture of the splinter. Keep in mind Sherri broke off probably another quarter inch of the thing before telling me to go to the ER. Yeah, it was that big.


 

Yeah! It's that fast.

Here's a shot of our new CTI Wireless van. Pretty cool looking, don't you think?
