For those ignorant fools who do not know, Stargate Atlantis premiered last night. A two hour episode, w00t. (Because the rule is during a two hour episode something has to blow up every THREE SECONDS!) It was alright. I like the whole ancient-ship-goes-through-stargate concept. And the sheild on the gate is cool. You put that up as the Wraith drones fly in…no problems anymore.

But yea.

As of late I’ve been reparing windows PCs for people (and making money). Thursday I did a format on some dude’s box, as his FAT was fucked. The one thing I learned there is that soundblaster is an asshole. The driver is such a dickhead.

And tonight, a box came into the shop that seemed to be spyware-dominated. It would start up, then explorer would preform an illegal operation. Then you could do some stuff. Depending on what you did, the computer could crash. Mostly anything you did crashed it.

After about four painful hours of trying to save it, I gave up. Looked to me like a bad case of porn surfing with IE. (An icon labeled ‘XXX’ on the desktop, I ask you…). The windows install was totaled. I ran Adaware, spybot, WinDoctor, scandisk, some tools on Ultimate Boot Disk, and Norton Anti-virus. So I shall format it in the morning.

And now, the furure…

Tomorrow (Sunday) I will be attending an SCOSUG meeting. SCOSUG is the Southern Connecticut Open Source User Group. Meaning it’s a bunch of people who run linux/bsd. There is going to be a talk on Python and its uses, which sounds fun.

Yep.
