Ever since I was a kid, I can remember my brother’s heavy interest in Egyptology. I can remember one year for the science fair, he created a model of one of the theories of how the Egyptians built the pyramid (wooden ramps). At the time though, I myself didn’t have an interest in Egyptian mythology, I mean I was only between 10 and 12 years old at the time. No, it wasn’t until years later that I became interested in Egyptian Mythology. In late 1994, Stargate was in theaters, and it wasn’t until then that I started to get interested in the ancient mythology, but of course, it was a movie and was not a real representation of the true mythology, but none the less, it peeked my interest at the time.
I always thought PDFs were safe to open, sadly my notion was wrong. The other day I received an email sent to my work address from Gmail account which contained no body, only a single PDF attachment – sale_50_87318984.pdf.
Now, of course, the fact there was no body and it was sent to random people around the company, sent up a red flag for me. Obviously, the perpetrator was trying to get someone to click the PDF, which, I am hoping, if all those employees have read the companies email policy and hopefully have some knowledge of internet security, no one has.
Ok, where to begin? I am at work, playing with my VM (Virtual Machine), which might I add is not a good idea. I had just spent 3 hours prepping for a maintenance in the next few days and I modified a LOT of files on my VM to do this… I will also note ahead of time, I also didn’t make a snapshot (number one rule when messing around with an important VM, make a snapshot).
Manawalki shooting – Time for a Rant!0
Posted in Rants
Ok, so normally I would put this on Facebook and bitch a little, but I figured it’s a big enough issue I would write a rant about it, especially since it got my blood boiling. I came across a post on facebook which showed the below video and only the following caption:
Now what pisses me off, is that there is no information on what happened on the other side of that wall, or what happened before the altercation began. Despite this lack of information, Facebook and |Youtube have blown up with comments on how the security guards should have their gun permits revoked, and that there was absolutely no reason to pull a gun and fire it. When I first saw this, I was outraged. How quick we are to jump to the conclusions that this was an abuse of force without actuall proof.
Happy New Year to all my readers. Before I get into the review of the last year, I wanted to make a statement about some recent changes to the site that may or may not have upset some viewers.
I Can’t do it on my own. I have decided to try and crowdfund it:
UPDATE: Crowdfuning has closed as I was funded privatly. Thank you to all those who helped out.
After I moved into my new apartment last year, my old gaming PC has been banished to the closet as a server due to the fact that it made a really high-pitched noise that was giving me headaches (yes, even after a thorough cleaning). Ever since then I have tried to use different alternatives. The first was a mini PC, which barely did the job, then the current solution, my Laptop I bought for my last job which is almost 3 years old. The present solution, of course, has a secondary USB monitor by AOC, as working on one monitor just doesn’t feel right. But working off of two 15 inch monitors is a pain since at work I at least have two 20 inch-ers, still small by today’s standards, but still better than 15 inches.
