You think you are secure do you want to secure your pc even more, article! Reading at PC mag and came upon the article:
secure email reader [ free download ] but doesn't support outlook express... that sucks as I use it! I will be changing my email to ThunderBird! Apparently MS will be trying their hand at the email protection market as they get a great deal of their moola from software! They don't want to loose it, yah knows... And they are also trying out a Hotmail Beta version for the desktop...

Java Cool Software is a site which has a program called EULAlyzer that lets you read easily lisence agreements.

It's a plugin for firefox, Site Advisor, for sites which are rated with red [have spyware, malware, etc...], yellow [take caution] or green [it's been tested and is clean]! :) Aslo available for IE and you can also look up a site report and suggest sites that have yet to be added to their data base. I have been using it for the past few hours and it seems pretty fun! :) As I use search engines all the time and it just rates it for me.

Add more to your Firefox with Firefox extentions, themes, plugins and much more...

Have also put in a few extensions onto my Firefox like whois? [ which if you high light a name it lets you search it in a few places which can tell you some information ], Pluck & Sage [ rss feeds ] and my stickies which is great! :) Watching alot of Call for Help has enable me to find some of these plug ins. And I thank them for that... I also use Shields Up from Steve Gibson for our PC and notebook, who's a regular in the show!

Will be exploring the latest extension 'Kaboodle.' Looks fun!!! Major Geeks- A great place to download stuff that is pretty interesting!

Been AWOL for a while have had nothing to say and only been back to surfing yesterday. Found some pretty interesting things...

Windows Vista sounds kind of fun... I have looked at all 5 versions that they will be coming out with and my fave is 'WV Home Premium.' I wonder how pricey it will be???

Will be going to the dentist at 2pm for the fitting of my crown but I still don't know if the dentist will do something else. I wonder what he thinks of my x-ray? Reading that there's a new fad in Thailand about colour braces, pretty crazy. The cops are cracking down on home braces kit. Which have become illegal... Dang, the fads are going to the dark side! Hee.. it was expected eventually. almost everyone is out there to make a buck! Right!

"A few things I am sort of scared that I have found out is that XP is not safe the only solution, which is argued, is to redesign and rebuild the kernel [ whole kernel has been reorganized and rewritten to help prevent software from affecting the system in unsavory ways ]with a focus on security and stability. Which MS is freaken doing with Vista. In Vista, it should be much more difficult for unauthorized programs (like viruses and Trojans) to affect the core of the OS and secretly harm your system. MS is trying to make it easier!"

Also came upon a program which emulates Mac. 30megs and looks like fun, but will refrain from using it for now. i need to find some info and read about it. I have one negative already, which said it was hard to uninstall and that is not good.

I also need to refresh xp and will be backing up all my crap and erasing my whole drive. That will be a freaken experience. I still have to get like over 60gigs of my hard drive... Not much but I think I will just spend the $$$ on an external hard drive and upload all my junk there... It's easier and I don't have to spend hours burning,,, Right!

B-G is helping his sis that has come from Alberta with her husband and her son to visit... They're moving to a hotel downtown (one which I worked a few years ago) closer to the action!

Gots to go and take a shower...

Happy Happy Birthday to OLDCATMAN!!! Hope you have a good one. And I thank you for the comment... I am happy that you are well and that the critters are just fine! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AND ME!!

Been visiting my reads... 'tis been a while...

Mr. Bloopy on his link log 3/11 had a note about atm fraud which reminded me of what happened to B-G yesterday! Ok so it's not ATM but its bank related. ;P

Unfreaken believeable... Ok so the story goes: B-G went to a store downtown trying to buy me a small present for moi. And he forgot his CC, how he found out is that he was going to pay for Korean, yummy, when he suddenly remembered that he had lefted at that specific store. How does he know, well it was the last store he went to and bought something and the girl was closing up. I was thinking maybe she had given it another client by mistake but no the store was closing! Now the stupid girl used it twice and while B-G was in the phone with CC company a third transaction was being made and immediately the guy blocked it! but we don't know if it said stolen or blocked? But apparently the machines have a way of saying STOLEN! After B-G went to the police to file charges. On top of it all the stupid girls name was even on the freaken receipt. Oh let me point out that she was alone in the store no other clerks were working at the time of the purchase. Stupid Freaken Girl!!!!

One thing that's sort of good is that the CC company will not charge B-G for the Fraud. I love protection! I have it in my CCs cuz you never know. I am not really sure about the ATM pretection plans here in Canada but I'm 85% sure we are protected from fraud poor Mr. Bloopy I guess that really sucks! I will call to comfirm this in a few moments! Thank you Mr. Bloopy...

Kent Nichols - very talented and which I read all his blog from the begining! Living in L.A. The director, assuming, of Ask A Ninja Podcast...

reading his post of Oct. was interesting as I found out about Pope Joan, a woman that was a pope in the 855AD... The way they found out was that she gave birth? Ok all the details are not ironed out but hey pretty freaken interesting!

I love his poems they are called: Rhympinion I, II, III, IV, V. Well they are posted by the mouth which I assume its his alter ego 'the poet!'

This is what happens when I listen to my fave podcasts and I sorta check out what they find interesting. I get hooked too... I been reading this dudes blog for the past 2hrs that is insane but when I enjoy a blog I want to read it all... Just plain CRAZY!

Just a ramble:
I just thought about something... Why doesn't g-map, y-map, mapquest or any other net map have the function to input multiple address into maps? We need a plumber and well, I need to find out their location and which is the closest one as you need to pay for transportation fees if they are too far... I wonder???

Aaarrggghhh... I been waiting for the DS Lite (which sold out in Japan in a matter of hrs the day it came out 3/2) to makes its appearance here in NA but no the f#$k-heads are scratching thier a-holes. And holding it hostage for the time being before releasing it to the masses here! Why can't they just offer it at the same time as in Japan! I am so angry about that... Checked out some really cool games that I want to by even before I own the DS Lite! It's a little crazy. I have made my small but precised wishlist at nintendo! Yep, I have an account. I may be old and what ever! But hey, if the Japanese can do it so can I! :P

I am truly in love with it. Ok, so it will cost money to use the freaken DS web browser (which SONY offers it for free on the PSP) but I have no plans on using that. Yeah, it's brighter (battery life on max setting 5-8hrs & able to go up to 10-18hrs on the low setting which charges in 3 hrs. Uses transmissive LCD), the stylus is 1cm longer and 1mm thicker, scratch resistance on the lid and lighter. It also comes with a 1seg digital broadcast TV tuner... The AC adapter that is not compatible w/ other handhelds and old games stick out 1cm of the DS Lite which some people mind but not I. Ok with it! :)

I just love the baby blue color 'Blue Ice' they are coming out with but I want it to match my Poddy ['Crystal White'] so I have to think on that one, which the second shipment was 3/11 (double the turn out, specially for the color DSes) and introduced 'Blue Ice' and 'Enamel Navy'... It can also play GBA games Nintendo has confirmed this, thank goodness! :) They are being sold at Like Sang for $199US, but are all back ordered at the moment.

Over all, I am truly happy I waited to get the DS Lite... Plus, I hate the originals color, I am sick and tired of the dark freaken silver! It's about time Nintendo came out with stylish shit! :)

I also want to get a ifish form audiocubes but still reluctant as I want the icat! Been watching Angelic Slayer and finished Full Metal Panic! which is making me want to buy the 2nd part! Aaahhh!

I can't believe all the info. on the DS Lite I been reading this afternoon really stayed in my freaken head! I want it so badly! Needed to research it pretty well before really wanting it! Also, I been wanting to play a few games that I cannot on the GC or PS2...

There is a new game called 'Okami' that will be coming out in a few months that I want... I also wish to get 'Electroplankton,' which both are for the DS Lite...

And a note, a reminder for me:

- Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Each of these three games will be repackaged in a new Player's Choice box and priced at a MSRP of 19.99.

A little wierd but cute at the same time...

Silicon Power’s Limited Edition Hello Kitty SD Memory Cards Cute and Fashionable & only available in Taiwan!

I wouldn't have minded having one :). But they were a limited edition and only in Taiwan :(.

I was watching call for help and they have such great links some times! Two that attracted me were zoom and go, a site to share you vacation, your city through video, news and pictures. Ordinary people making videos of the places they have visited... It's really cool! And if your video is interesting you may get a little $$$. Need a favor want a favor well favorville is a place for you. I love it but it's too bad that there are only 5 members for my city but hopefully in time it will get big! I am crossing my fingers. An amazing find! :)

Something to remember:
- How do I customize the 'From:' address on outgoing mail? on gmail
- who is: an extention of that can be used on Firefox. pretty damn cool!
- Directions on how to enable or disable software installation on Firefox

You can get much more at call for help site which they have like tons of freefiles.

Panorex ($40) was done today at the orthodontist and went to leave it to my dentist after. Ate corn, ravioli and perogies. For dessert glutinous rice balls with red bean filling - Yuanxiao [believed that it's named after a palace maid, Yuanxiao, of Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty] also called Diafuku in Japanese.

I been lazy at doing my blog. Someon called me a few days ago and asked me if I wanted to get more traffic to my site. I was like my site is a blog not a biz. Crazy people! The guy got irratated and I was surprise as he was offering a service. I find that more and more that the clerks, cashiers, etc... are becoming so freaken obnoxious... Why is that I wonder? They think they own the biz and try to get your money at any cost. Atleast be polite if your gonna take my money a-holes!!! I worked in that industry and I was never that insanely rude. I was always polite and we even went to seminars to be more polite to our costumers. Do they go to them or do they freaken sleep!!! Maybe the company is too small to give a flying bleep!!!

I also had like 4 days of no internet! It sucked! I been watching the anime I got... Those Who Hunt Elves is so funny I forgot all about it. I spend 2 days fixing my iTunes library as I moved my files and like 700-900 of them went missing and had to put them all back. Which was a bit of a pain cuz some lost their album covers. Got some music and Jap Tv program which was so freaken funny and totally wierd the same time. What I get out of it, is pure laughter as I can't understand what they say. The program is about 4 guys locked up in a basketball gym for 24 hrs. They sit around a small table in the middle of the room, with sometimes people bringing them food. An alarm rings, a guy dress like a black ninja pops up and starts to run towards the guys. The 4 guys start to run around and the first one to get grabbed either gets hit, kicked or little naked boys (no joke) sit on their face. Other stuff happens but thats the jist of it all. It's Japanese entertainment, that's what Nori tells me.

I also met one of his co-workers/friend Saturday. Her name Yuko, pretty cute, 26yrs old. I thought she would make a godo girlfriend for him. I try to push them together. I am so bad... I wanted to be the match maker. Made stupid comments at times like 'You will invite me to your wedding, right?' They just laughed, I guess I took advantage of their so sweet politeness. But Nori's finally comming around to being a westerner. He's not that polite which is great. Heee...
