    Researchers warn of infectious Web sites

    The researchers believe that online organized crime groups are breaking into Web servers and surreptitiously inserting code that takes advantage of two flaws in Internet Explorer that Microsoft has not yet fixed. Those flaws allow the Web server to install a program that takes control of the user’s computer.
    Now that’s a reason to use Mozilla Firefox!

    This Morning

    Gentle rain outside. Pleasant to listen to except for the occasional memory that both the windows in the Jeep are down and the thought that kids didn’t zip up the tent. I wanted to stretch out because my back is aching so much from sitting in this horrid wood chair but the time is flying this morning and I’ve got to get productive. Main goal is to prepare for a decent phone interview. If all goes well I’ll have 4 large companies offer me jobs at the same time!

    Cheney utters “F-word”

    According to Senate rules, profanity is not permitted in the chamber. But when the exchange occurred between Leahy and Cheney, the Senate was not in session so there was technically no foul.
    Technicality or not I don’t think that’s any way for a vice president to act.

    Another local company that I am very excited about has contacted me directly wanting a phone interview for tomorrow.

  • Memory Lane

    I have to post this so I can get the window off my screen. When I was 7 or 8 my brother and I inherited my father’s 45s (that would be a record for those that don’t know) I also had some 78s and 33s of course. We had these until they became a victom of a mass cleaning around age 13. Anyhow, a few of the songs stuck so strongly in my head that every month or so for some unknown reason I hum the tune and a few lines to myself.

    I originally thought this one HERE COMES THE JUDGE by Pigmeat Markham was on the B-side of The Monkees D.W. Washburn (D.W. Washburn plays in my head more often and more frequently than any other song I can think of).

    Here are the lyrics:

    HERE COMES THE JUDGE

    Pigmeat Markham

    Hear ye, hear ye

    This court is now in session

    His Honor, Judge Pigmeat Markham presidin

    Hear ye, hear ye, the court of swing

    It’s just about ready to do that thing

    I don’t want no tears, I don’t want no lies

    Above all, I don’t want no alibis

    This Judge is hip, and that ain’t all

    He’ll give you time if you’re big or small

    All in line for this court is neat

    Peace brother, here comes the Judge

    Here comes the Judge

    Everybody knows that he is the judge

    Everybody near or far

    I’m goin’ to Paris to stop this war

    All those kids gotta listen to me

    Because I am the judge and you can plainly see

    I wanna big ’round table when I get there

    I won’t sit down to one that’s square

    I wanna lay down the law to them that brought it

    I’ll bust some head because I am the judge

    He is the judge, he is the judge

    Who’s there? I is. I is who?

    I is your next door neighbor

    Order in this courtroom, order in this courtroom

    Judge, your Honorship, Hi sir

    Did I hear you say “Order in the Court?”

    Yes I said order in the court

    Well, I’ll take two cans of beer, please

    He is the judge, he is the judge

    Everybody knows that he is the judge

    I had a chat with Ho Chi Min

    With cheap rice wine and chased with gin

    Won’t take long unless I miss my guess

    I’ll have you out of this doggone mess

    I sent a cable to Bob and Mac

    Let them know I’m comin’ back

    Sit right down with Rock and Nick

    Teach them boys some of Pigmeat’s tricks

    Oh, oh judge, your Honor, Pigmeat said

    “Don’t you remember me??”

    No, who are you, boy

    Well, I’m the feller that introduced you

    To your wife… to my wife?

    Yeh, life! You son-of-a-gun you

    Come November, election time

    You vote your way, I’ll vote mine

    Cause there’s a tie, and the money gets spent

    Vote for Pigmeat Markham, President

    I am the judge, vote for Pigmeat

    I am the judge, vote for Pigmeat

    Now, everybody knows I am the judge

  • Progress?

  • Shaky Ground

    Today I am shaky and didn’t want to go to the trouble of fixing lunch but had a quick hotdog. While in the kitchen I absolutely felt like I wanted to pass out.
