Steve's Moratorium

I just kept looking at this site going it just doesn’t click.  I played with the code changed colors. Changed themes, changed colors, changed layout, changed code!  Still doesn’t jive.  Just not into the whole thing.

It doesn’t grab you, hold onto you, say yes I AM HERE.  What should I do?  I think I know what I want it to be?  I want it to be, Right.

I am going to try these parent themes either Thematic,  SandBox, or Precious.  This seems the best choice to start and then no playing with the php.  (yes)  If there are any better options that won’t break my “No Budget”  feel free to contact me with them either in the comments or through email, or contact forms.  This ends the beginning thanks again.

Though I haven’t posted in a month or so I have been on the hunt for new and funny things.  That said you can keep up with what I find on the surf by following @stevestromberg on twitter.  Also I am on friendfeed which in my opinion is nicer than twitter.

Found from twitter the other day.

Also I am becoming a big fan of stumbling. Basically I have this tool bar that when I get board I click Stumble and bonus fun and interesting site.  Not fun and interesting click Stumble again and now it is a party.  Major case of OCD and you can go all weekend.  Found this below through the stumble bar.

Double Picture Illusion A double picture illusion which results in different things for different people.

Finally an oldie but a goody don’t remember where I found this but you’ll get a kick I promise.

Beware Conficker worm come April 1

I first heard about this in January as patches came out.  Shortly after that I had some problems with Vista again and fiquring that it was close to six months since I had done a clean install it seemed to be time.  The process takes some time and you should be wary of which patches are installed at least my experience is that they don’t all mesh if you let it go and update itself. Especially when getting the SP1 release to function this time.  So five hours later I am back up and running.

If everyone were to just do the clean install and update it shouldn’t be a problem but at the very least these security patches are necessary evils and should be kept up with.  I at one time was hell bent against it turned off all updates. No not allowed but then if you just let it go leave the computer on overnight it wn’t even disturb you.  Security is everyone’s responsibility and should be taken care of.

Now to the point:

Why if this worm has been going around since 2008 are people just now doing the write ups.  They say the code calls for Apr 1st deployment and more than 9 million infected it is either gonna be one hell of a blow up or nothing at all. tell you this my computer will be off that day.  If you mind the computer with the respect it deserves you won’t have the problems that can be.

Take the time to update find a good anti-virus and just be mindful of what is going on in the technical world of computers.  These things are not just for you but the community at large. Check out Security Now netcast for more information and up to date computer security information.  Stay informed.

Steve’s book montage

Powered by Goodreads.com

I decided to check this site out after reality set in that I have no idea what I have and haven’t read. It is a wonderful site for me though I find that some of my favorite books have been slammed by reviewers.
Don’t let that stop you if you want to keep a digital bookshelf it is magnificent.
