hey...look at me...i'm a computa



this past friday i finally got DSL. i've never had broadband, so i never really worried about someone hijacking my computer. i didn't realize the beast i would unleash after connecting to one of the internets. luckily my computer has a pretty conscientious owner, so i made sure all the security updates were installed, trashed IE and installed firefox, which does a pretty fantastic job of blocking malicious websites and pop-up windows automatically, plus viruses and worms that rely on IE exploits...hey bitches, you can't touch this.

one interesting thing i found out too is that SBC yahoo installs adware. found and zapped that bad boy as well. luckily, norton found that (for some reason adaware didn't).

i've taken other precautions as well that i won't go into detail about. there is that old saying "security by obscurity".

i loved blasting globalpopconspiracy all weekend (which was the soundtrack to my beer).

i'm hoping i'll be less inclined to screw around online while at work now that i have this luxury at home. let's see. i'm already breaking the law at this moment by writing this post.

heather s., niki and i made beer this friday. stay tuned for a beer making blog to read all about it!
