My next door neighbor is a local police officer. He parks his marked police car right next to our driveway. Needless to say we don't worry too much about burglary. Don't listen to Jafo. EVERYBODY knows all Australians live in the Outback, have 'roos and koalas in thier backyards, grill "Shrimp on the barbie", drink Fosters ('strailian for beeyah),go on walkabout with Steve Irwin (the crocodile bloke), know how to toss a boomerang, and sing "Waltzing Matilida" when not playing their didg

Good grief! What a day I had yesterday dealing with that virus. Here's the deal: This virus propagates itself in a very sneaky way. It modifies the registry and attaches itself to any .exe command, so whenever you execute a .exe it runs the virus too. This virus sends mail with a random attachment from any .xls,.exe.zip or .doc file on your HD. It contains it's own STMP protocol, so it acts as it's own mail app. It seeks out your address book AND any cached internet files looking for ad

Boxxi- I'm getting returns and mail failures from addresses that are not in my address book. This seems to also scan the internet cache looking for email links that have been cached and hits them too.

If you've received email from me with the message: Hi! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice See you later Thanks DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT(s) I've been infected with an email virus that's mailed all of my skinning contacts. Opening the attachment will infect your Outlook as well. Norton is not finding any virii, so I can't acertain how malicious this is.

Lately I've been obsessed with mountain biking. So we're up (the missus and I), at 5:00AM to get to the trails by 6:00AM to ride at first light. We'll do anywhere from 8 to 15 miles (depending on trail topography) and head home. I'll get to the studio around 8:30AM and work until 6:00PM. If we had a muddy ride, I'll clean the bikes and gear. If not, we'll head back out around 7:00PM and ride until dark. Weekends usually mean longer, more challenging rides and an appropriate food / nap r

Human nature, I'm afraid... "Oh, you're giving it away? Must not have taken much to do then, hardly worth a thank you", in some people's minds. The hard work is transparent to the average user. Example: You get a drink from a water cooler and use the paper cup. It rarely crosses your mind that there's a water filtration company bottling that for you, and a bottle producer, and a dispenser company that makes the water cooler itself, plus a paper mill making cups, and 3

Reply to Windows XP Upgrades in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'll stick with Win2000, thanks. XP, while I'm sure if has some core OS improvements, seems a bit too much like 'Uncle Bill' holding my hand and making it all pretty and simple to do 'neat-o' stuff like organize all my pictures and mail them to GrandMa. Factor in the unwanted 'protection / registration / uber itegration' and it's a pretty easy decision to opt out for now. I'll play with it when I get a new system and I'm force fed the OS by the manufacturer.

The interface for browsing and installation is great. The CD 'autoruns' and is much like browsing this site on the worlds fastest connection! You 'surf' the sections and install by 'downloading' from the CD. Super easy and the whole thing is hyperlinked much like you'd expect. Very slick. The exclusive to the CD, Marinara suite is really nice to use. Kudos to the authors.

" you big meanie head!" There's nothing wrong with this fellow's asking for some help, even if unpaid. There's nothing wrong with ess-vids message. I agree that profesional level work for a professional level project, (even if it's freeware) should be compensated for. Where ess-vid and I depart in tactics is the perception of impatience his posts impart. While 'ess' may ha

Cool. Just make sure to include a 'show all' on demand option without having to change one's profile. Any thoughts you wish to share as to what new sections (apps) you are considering?

LotsofSkins.com is "dead" (for now) in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

From Chaz: It may seem all too coincidental. First skinz, then deskmod now lotsofskins. On Jun 21, 2001 at 11:11 PM EST when I went to back lotsofskins.com up, cuteftp caused a trashed response that deleted 90% of lotsofskins.com code and files. There was no way to stop it, it happened in less than 5 seconds. And error caused by myself and the software. The last backup I made of the site was in May 16. I was going to upload that and run it, and realized that it was only half of the upl
