Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

I'm running some spyware scans because I have these popups from Adtomi and etightstrings.net that are driving me totally berserk. The scans always find them, I delete them, and after I restart, they somehow manage to rise from the ashes. Like starfish that will grow a new arm if one is amputated, these things grow a new .dll or registry entry or something, and resurrect themselves, stronger than before. Urgh. Look, if I want party poker, I'll find YOU, okay? Leave me alone!!

Anyway, I was updating the spyware database on Spyware Blaster (basically just a blocking tool, it doesn't actually remove anything) and as usual, it gave me a progress bar with a download rate and time remaining below it.

That's good to know, because if my download rate drops below 267.903930664062 bytes/sec, I terminate the file transfer. I just don't have that kind of time.

Also, I hate dialup. HAAAAATE.

And finally, lookie what I have! A Family Guy font! Thanks to Katrina, who has seemingly dropped off the face of the earth. :-)
