I'm at work and I don't want to be.

Time I went to bed: 5am
Time I was woken for work stuff: 7:30am

Am extremely tired, cranky, and pissy, the latter two of which mean the same thing, but describes perfectly how I feel. :-l x 10000000000000000

But so that this post has a point other than just me whining, here's a PSA on spyware.

Fuck You, Spyware

Many of you have probably already experienced the pain of spyware. You probably have it, whether or not you think you do. It's just that if it doesn't affect computer functionality, most people don't notice. Well, spyware pisses me off, and after finding a whole crapload of it on my home machine last night, I've decided that these fuckers must be thwarted whenever possible. It's not fucking right.

If you've had spyware problems, you probably already know of these resources; if you don't, I suggest you run these at least every week or so. Even if spyware doesn't affect your computer functionality, doesn't it piss you off that these fuckers are spying on everything you do and are oftentimes making a profit from it??? Anyway, yeah. Thwart them by using:

- Spybot, Search and Destroy: Download Spybot, then after you've run it to check your system, go back and download the detection updates.

- Lavasoft Ad-aware: Great as supplementary to Spybot, will often catch stuff that Spybot might have missed.

- Doxdesk Detection Script: The script will check your browser for parasites, and Webmasters can download the script and install on their own sites to prevent companies from spying on what your users do on the site and extra advertising from invading your site. There's also a lot of helpful information about spyware and its ilk.

And now, because I can ...

I am screening all comments so there will be no cheating! Cheaters!

Edit: I have added the answers if you'd like to know what they are. But in case other people want to continue playing, I have made them the background color (assuming you haven't personalized your LJ friends' comments pages), so to know what a particular song is, just highlight the area after the lyric.

I use all those and Pestpatrol. Pestpatrol came with my Zonealarm firewall - it's one of my favorites by and far.

Cool to know! Thanks... a firewall is another must have. (Though they don't always work, as my computer will attest.)

I've answered the few blinkie songs that I could in IM w/ you, so I shan't put them here 'cause people would cheat. *g* And UGH at the work thing.

[identity profile] sarea-okelani.livejournal.com 2004-05-08 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, people can't cheat because all comments are being screened. Do you even read my posts?! :)):)) But I unscreened yours since there are no answers.

It is rather ugh. Thank you for succinctly putting into one word what took me several dozen.

[identity profile] sevenfourteen.livejournal.com 2004-05-08 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
i need to do that stuff...thanks for the linkage

also, I only know #12 as it's one of my favorite songs ever, Adam's Song

I'm sure I know a few others, but don't know those particular lyrics

*mwah*

[identity profile] sarea-okelani.livejournal.com 2004-05-08 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, you're right! :D

And yeah, you should totally do all the spyware stuff. Down with those fucktards!

I swore not to cheat though, and so that is my pathetic attempt.

If you now wish to disown me, I will understand.

:O! Only four?! *weeps to have to disown you* Well ... I guess we still have LP ...

And I must give you props for:

a) not cheating; b) getting #13; c) appreciating the glorificusness of the glasses

But you're walking on thin ice, missy.

In my defence!...Ok, I have no defence, I'm just really terrible at these games. And I do confess that I only have Blink 182, and the singles from EotS and TOYPaJ on the computer.

Where as with LP I have both proper albums and have seen them live. Dude, when you saw them did they play My December? It was obviously never released over here so we had no knowledge of it until they played it in the encore - and promptly fell in love with it.
Do a LP lyric meme! I promise I'll be better! I PROMISE!!!

Re: *wishes had hot Mark in glasses icon*

[identity profile] sarea-okelani.livejournal.com 2004-05-09 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
If you have the singles, I don't understand how you couldn't get #12!!! :((

Anyway, Jade is going to take care of the LP meme -- that way, we can both have fun w/ the guessing. :D Hee!

And yes, they totally played "My December," but I had already heard it before that. (I downloaded it from somewhere, and then it was on their "Reanimation" CD.) Chester is so fucking sexy, man. And he sang that song when he had a cold, and ... it was so. damn. good. <3

And the harsh light of morning brings answers to memes with it. Adams Song. sigh.

Yay! for LP meme, my chance at redemption!

And Chester. My lovely Chester. Stupid restraining order. *g*

And I present a canvas for you to work your pretty-icon-magic on. My penance if you will.

You have every right to be pissy. Hell, if I don't get over 6 hours of sleep I'm a horrible person to be around. However the fact that you're actually functioning enough to type goes far above my ability so yay. Hope you get more sleep, and spyware is extremely annoying. Apparently my comp set a record at the computer fixing store with the amount of spyware on it. Go me.

Thank you! Support for pissiness always appreciated. <g> And I think I'm going to get to go home soon, so w00t. This day was truly like I dreamed it ... only when I wake up it'll be a full day later and my Saturday will be gone. :p

You did very well. I am impressed; I didn't think you'd get #17 for some reason. (Maybe because on reread, I couldn't get it, but I'm also operating on 2 1/2 hours of sleep and a work-decimated brain.) Re: #16, I don't think I even knew the title. :)) Yes! re: #8. You get to remain my friend, unlike [livejournal.com profile] hannah_kim.
