General stuff.
Gym sickness?
It appears that I’ve acquired some new horrible disease from the local gym…hopefully it’s one of those quietly annoying twenty-four hour things. I’m always quite anal when it comes to washing myself thoroughly after touching any surface where nude sweaty men prance around but it seems that a few microbes have definitely made their way […]
Our office building is inhabited by freaks…
It seems that someone in our office building has an extremely odd sense of humor or they are seriously disturbed. Every once in a while the stall in the bathroom has dozens of little balled up pieces of toilet paper piled up in the corner. Each wad has been meticulously rolled up to be uniform […]
I guess I am worth something…
How completely odd…I guess I’m actually worth something to somebody. Unbeknownst to myself, yours truly has been on the market for a little over a month and a half. And, again unbeknownst to myself, I seem to have been doing quite well for myself! Go figure…would you like to buy a share?
Man charged after firing paintballs at house
This happened almost two years ago when we first moved into the house. I found the newspaper clipping kicking around so I figured I’d type it up for prosperity. HAVERHILL — A 27-year-old man was charged with intimidating a witness yesterday after he fired paintballs at the home of a woman involved in a court […]
Looks like I’ll grab another Honeywell…
I’ll be picking up a Honeywell 17400 HEPA filter for another room of the house. Hopefully, with two running, that’ll take care of everything!
Sweet…HEPA replacements…
Amazing…Amazon actually has Honeywell 22500 replacement HEPA filters. I haven’t been able to find the filters locally and my current filter has been limping along for over three years now. Right now it’s quite…yucky. Hopefully a new filter will help keep the cat hair and dust down in my computer room. While doing some reading […]
We have clean power again…
The power seems to have cleaned itself up. Either Mass Electric fixed it or everyone turned off their air conditioners.
Brownouts suck.
So all of the UPS boxes in my office were firing randomly all night. Plugging a voltmeter into the outlet revealed consistent drops under 112 VAC every minute or two so I called Mass Electric to report the problem. After blaming my internal wiring the incredibly chipper CSR agreed to dispatch a tech. A few […]
[email protected] has been terminated.
I got responses back from systems administrators at primushost.com and livin4.com. The user account that was being used for the fake Love@AOL Web page has been shut down by livin4.com and the open formmail.pl script that was being used to send the email was terminated by primushost.com. What’s really a shame is that [email protected] sounds […]
More AOL password theft…
I was hit by a spam attack this morning and received around 350 emails over the course of 12 hours. The attacker was [email protected] and he used a Yahoo! bouncer to forward people to a fake Love@AOL page. After deconstructing his email and Web page, I sent analysis to abuse, webmaster and security accounts at […]
