Evil Selling Out

Not much has been going on lately. The homefront is just that. What seems to complicate matters is that I'll be working out of Kendall "until further notice" starting Tuesday. Last time we played this game at work I was "fired" from the client within 2 weeks.

They don't necessarily get more productivity and it's a lot more costly to have one of us in their facility. Plus the timeclock they forced me to use there made me thumb my nose with the threat "oh, well, since I have to be aware of the time I'm here, there's no way I'm putting in extra hours." Yeah, maybe that's more why they didn't want me there anymore.

And the sysadmin there was trying to get details on how much I make, whether my bosses are scam artists, things like that. It made me uncomfortable, like I'm supposed to be some kind of informant or something. I stayed dignified and gave "no comment" answers. That'll do, pig.

So far, being packed with no place to go is a little weird. I was going to take a beautiful picture of a water tower my brother gave me that "leaks". I have yet to see it leak, though, and it's been running for about 4 hours now. BUT my camera ran out of batteries. Which would be fine, except I packed my NiMH battery charger. D'oh! So I could get my extra batteries which I always have except, well, they're packed too. D'oh again! There's always AC power, so I open my camera's DC-in port and reach for the AC/DC adaptor... except... yep. Arkanoid 2, Revenge of D'oh! Well, I have to offload some pictures from it (I figured you cats would like to see how my storage closet is filling up nicely). So I remove the memory card, plug it into my reader... wait... my reader is packed. D'oh-nuts.

In the meantime, I've discovered I've got a rootkit on my machine. To what end, I do not know. I see ONE symptom but it needs a lot of work (by hand) to find these things and get them out.

Most of the blame is the fault of the people who write the scumware and provide incentives to secretly install it on people's computers, but don't forget the blame on the web publishers that actually participate in these kickbacks.

How much do you get sold out for? Well, take a look at the link and see for yourself. Earn as much as 40 CENTS per person's computer you fuck over.

Please add "zangocash.com" to your hosts file and point it at least to 127.0.0.1. I did, and the fact that I can't see that site is both of little loss and of great reward. Google around, your hosts file is your friend.
