The computer guy strikes again.
And in true idiotic fashion, my brother decided it’d be fun to start downloading music and such without a virus scanner. Oh, sure, Limewire’s got a virus scanner built in… but does it do a thing for spyware? Or viruses that *don’t* come in through Limewire? Nope… sorry. So, the family computer spent a day or two in completely fucked up land, until I got around to finally fixing the damn thing. The browser they use ended up highjacked,, and pointed to some web page with a dialogue box that popped up warning us we had spyware. And it would keep repeating, and repeating, and repeating… real hard to get things done when you’re trying to combat with that, and it was irritating my mother to no end. So, I finally said fuck it and gave them a copy of Trend Micro’s virus scanner with built in spyware protection. It works awesome, considering. An hour after I installed the thing on their computer and tweeked the settings a little, I had that machine virtually completely clean. And without a Zango toolbar. That… was surprisingly the worst of it though, at least. Not that it makes me want to hurt the idiot brother any less, but at least now I can concentrate on seeing how many ways I can hurt him rather than how else to fix that computer. I love it when a program is all the difference it takes to solve a problem. Now, perhaps, a sledgehammer will get it through the moron’s head… there’s a reason we have virus scanners! *screams*

The Birth Order Predictor
You Are Likely a Second Born
At your darkest moments, you feel inadequate.
At work and school. you do best when you’re evaluating.
When you love someone, you offer them constructive criticism.In friendship, you tend to give a lot of feedback – positive and negative.
Your ideal careers are: accounting, banking, art, carpentry, decorating, teaching, and writing novels.
You will leave your mark on the world with art and creative projects.
So close… but no! First born, sorry.

What year do you belong in?
You Belong in 1979
If you scored…1950 – 1959: You’re fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!
1960 – 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule – oh, and drugs too.
1970 – 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you’re partying or protesting, you give it your all!
1980 – 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You’re colorful at night – and successful during the day.
1990 – 1999: With you anything goes! You’re grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It’s all good!
I’ve been accused of worse. 😀

I now can’t wait for September.
Why, you ask? Well… the Leafs’ preseason games are a good enough reason for me. But aside from that, training camp starts on the 14th (damn right that’s going in the calendar), with the first preseason game on the 18th and the last October 1st against the Red Wings. And with them having re-signed Nik Antropov to a contract, even if it’s only for a year… I do believe it’ll be an interesting watch this year. And no Domie! Yay! Okay, I’m done now.

Let’s see how well this new resume pays off.
I fired off an application for a position at one of Dell Canada’s Ottawa offices last night. IT’s for an entry level tech support job, pretty much, and they’re not looking for any insane amount of education it doesn’t look like… they *prefer* at least a year’s experience in the field, which I’ve got thanks largely to the fact I work in a tech support equivalent department for A Call to Duty Roleplaying. Yeah, so it’s not an actual business and such along the same lines as what I’m applying for. It’s still applicable so far as work experience goes, if only on a volunteer basis. I’m just kind of hoping Dell sees it that way, too, or I’m probably gonna be up shit’s creak without a paddle. It’s an entry level position, so it *shouldn’t*, in theory, matter. But that’s theory. And my theories usually blow up in my face after about 5 minutes. We shall see.

And it’s about time, I think.
I finally relented and went to pick up my resume today. It only took me, like… oh… I dunno… somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2 months to actually go and do it. So now I get to do that job hunting thing with a resume that actually makes me look like I might, possibly, maybe, know a thing or two about the positions I’m applying for. Freakin’ amazing, that. Now watch there be no jobs in the areas I’m looking for. Murphy’s law loves to fuck with me like that, and such.

If you can’t hold your alcohol, stay home.
Apparently, our drunken crusaders with a Canada day pissing problem have finally been identified. One of them is 23 years old, and being charged with public mischief. The other two are under 18 and apparently not being charged, which I think is just rediculous but I didn’t call the shots. Apparently, the reason they pissed on the National War Memorial, not that it’s any excuse in my honest and not worth shit beyond this blog opinion, is they were drunk as fuck. The 23-year-old claimed not even to remember dooing it, and didn’t even know about it until one of his friends told him he made the front page. Public mischief, though? I’d of at least charged him with providing alcohol to minors, if absolutely nothing else. I mean, he flat out admited that whole group came loaded with alcohol and had been drinking the whole day, and they couldn’t have bought the crap themselves, so that wouldn’t be too far a stretch, I wouldn’t think. Of course I wouldn’t know worth a damn, but that’s just me. I bitched a fit about it when it happened, so I won’t bother doing it again even though it still pisses me off. But jesus christ people, enough with the slaps on the wrist already. At least the public mischief charge carries a maximum of 2 years in jail. Maybe he’ll come out of there a bit more mature.

Are you a sociopath?
Because I haven’t done one of these in a couple days.
You Are 8% Sociopath
You’re empathetic, loyal, and introspective.
In other words, there’s no way you’re a sociopath… but you can spot one pretty easily!
