After
seven years, it is apparently my turn…
So there I was, typing along on my trusty laptop, ranting a little
about “guys”, and all of a sudden a little screen popped up saying I had been
infected with W32Blaster worm.. and another popped up that started a scan. What followed was a harrowing 15 minutes of
watching file after file being shown as infected with the worm along with some
other sinister sounding things like Trojans and Backdoor this and that. It wouldn’t let me open any programs like
Outlook. So currently the thing is in quarantine
to get sanitized, hopefully without “wiping” it. All my pictures, the software I use to
manipulate them, everything. So am
not sure of the immediate future of the Feeder, hang with me a bit.. updates
(from this desktop) to follow.
What I was going on about was that I have occasionally been
accused of tilting at windmills, fighting the rising tide, and other
insinuations of engaging in futile causes. My
relentless drive to DFD, railing against the canned “Hi I’m…..” speeches from
servers, and other restaurant things like having the fork you used for your
salad being set aside for you so you can use it again with your entrée. Lately I have been complaining about the
rampant use of the term “you guys” when referring to a party of mixed
gender. You’re being silly! It is too common! Yes it is.
But how would you like it if you were at a table with all males, and the
server walks up and says; “can I get you gals something to drink?”. Well, that’s different you say. Just go ask your wife/girlfriend/other how
she feels about being called a guy…
All for now---sigh
DFD
