Proliferation of email

I don’t know about you but I have so many email addresses that it is hard to keep them clean from spam. On my ISP I have 3 email addresses. One at work. Another hotmail and yahoo account. Plus there’s the one for school. That’s six so far. How do people manage their accounts? Their passwords? Does anyone even bother?

Off the schnide

Hooray! The bucs win their first game of the year. They do it behind Brian Griese who had been the third string QB. Man they are reaching. Tune in next week to see if they can make it two in a row.

The hometown team demoralized their local rivals, Washington Redskins, by winning an offensive challenged game. Both teams need to rethink their personnel at the QB position. Kyle Boller sucks and Mark Brunnell is getting old. If not for the defense…

Win95

Who still uses Windows95 nowadays? I do. Ain’t that a bitch of an OS? Its on an 8 year old Dell with a 233MHz Pentium chip. This thing is a dinosaur.

Why am I talking about old hardware? Just recently I have decided that it was time to give up on dial-up so I have ordered DSL. DSL? The local cable co has a freaking monopoly on the cable system in my county, and until they have competition then I won’t be giving them money. But anyway, I am trying to add ethernet to this box. What a pain in the ass. Installing the hardware was easy, but the drivers was hard. I tried for an hour to get the “Add Hardware” utility to recognize the card. I rebooted a dozen times, but still no luck. Finally, it works. Unfortunately, I had to change the IRQ for my modem to avoid an IRQ conflict. What the hell?

Once I have my DSL modem installed, I’ll see how the set up works.

Who supports him?

Watch these ads that feature previous Bush voters. Effective in getting across the message that Bush is wrong for the country. When people sympathetic to your world view are abandoning you, then something truly has to be wrong. Maybe people are finally waking up to the realization that Bush has been terrible for the country.

FactCheck.com

Last night during the VP debates, the Vice President mentioned a website, factcheck.com in order to present the straight facts. It wasn’t where he had wanted them to visit. If you click the link, you’ll see that it takes you to George Soros’s website. Splashed on the page in big bold letters is “President Bush is endangering our safety, hurting our vital interests, and undermining American values.” Geeze. It couldn’t get anymore comical than that.

Friends in high places

My friend, Wyman Lee, has got a personal web site going on. I couldn’t tell if its an actual blog, but it looks as if it is considering its got posts and all. I see that he has posted about the Amazing Race. Check it out. But turn on your pop-up blocker, because its a Lycos server.
