Is copyright infringement a sincere form of flattery?
...or is it just plain stealing? I'm thinking the latter! I am so pissed off right now! I just got an email from one of my customers. She sent me a link to an Ebay auction where someone has been selling pins using
my biker chick logo design without my consent! Sure, a piece of me is flattered that they liked my design enough to rip it off but for the most part I am PISSED!!
A sincere thank you to "Tammi" who reported this to me. I never would have
known it otherwise. I'm in the process of reporting this person to Ebay
authorities now but that won't stop them from selling these outside of Ebay.
If you are interested you can see a screen print
of the crook's auction by clicking this
link. (Warning - large image) Oh
well, I better go to bed.

Oh my goodness... my poor truck !!!
Look what someone did to my truck!! When I came out of work to the
parking lot this afternoon, look what I find! No note, no nothing! How it
happened, or even when, I have no idea. I'm certainly not surprised, I
hate to say. We've had all sorts of stuff like this happen in our office
parking lot. Stuff like fender benders, door dings, dents, etc. But
this... someone had to try pretty hard to do this! From the way it looks,
someone dropped something from up high to make this damage happen!

The crappy thing about blogs...
...is they are public for all the world to see. Any ole person who stumbles across it can read to their hearts
content. That really sucks when you want to complain about, oh, I don't know...
WORK! There are so many things I want to say but
I know it's probably not a good idea. I'm just not sure how much more of this crap I can put up with.

Mystery of the nasty virus-like anomaly SOLVED!
And I am none too happy about it! Turns out that Trend Micro, makers of the OfficeScan anti-virus program we use here at home, sent out a bad update file. The moment that update file was applied it caused
our PC's to go into a continuous loop, eating up all CPU. How ironic that the very company who is supposed to be keeping my PC healthy, is the very company that that killed it!
And to think I formatted my laptop and started all over due to someone's stupid
screw-up! 
For full details you can check out this
article.

Nasty worm/virus has attacked the Walters' PC's
Well, we're not exactly sure what it is but it appears some sort of virus, worm or something has attacked the computers at casa de Walters! :(
I'm posting this from Blackberry because my laptop is toast at the moment, thanks to this damn thing. Rob and I both tried doing System Restores, which seemed to fix my sister's PC when hers got hosed... No luck on either one of ours. Rob is deep in "geek" mode trying to figure this out and with any luck he'll come through like the true Uber-Geek that he is. In the meantime I'll be chomping at the bit, not-so-patiently waiting to get my PC back to normal. :(
If you suddenly notice your PC locks up and the processor usage stays at 100% no matter what you do, you may have it too. We didn't even install anything or open any suspicious emails. I was just shopping at Amazon.com and WHAM! Don't think a firewall or anti-virus software will save ya either cause ours was no help on this one. Help!
