    Default Random Things..

    I figured that it may be nice to have a place to post whatever is on someone's mind....So, here we go...

    Just found out that if you have time warner internet and your internet is all screwy then this may be for you....


    During the past week, hackers have launched a series of attacks on Time Warner Cable's servers. Time Warner Cable is working with law enforcement agencies to resolve these crimes.

    As a result of these attacks, you may have experienced a temporary "outage" when attempting to surf the Web, including an intermittent "page cannot be displayed" error message. The outages did not result in services being 100% unavailable; and were limited to sporadic timeouts which appeared to be random events. Some users may have experienced a total disconnect. These types of attacks are not uncommon, especially for a network as large as ours. We suspect that the attackers are using "zombie computers," or hijacking unsuspecting subscribers' machines to perpetrate the attack without its owner's knowledge.

    All of us at Time Warner Cable take these attacks extremely seriously. As previously mentioned, we are working with the appropriate law enforcement agencies that specialize in investigating these types of crimes. We will pursue prosecution of all perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law. We apologize for the inconvenience that these attacks may have caused and encourage you to report any suspicious activity. Instructions for reporting security abuse are located at http://help.rr.com.

    I'm sitting here thinking that it would be nice if the house warmed up faster so I could enjoy a shower and then head out to the tattoo parlour with clean skin. I'm wondering how much it will hurt to get the tattoo on the inside of my wrist, but at the same time I don't care. I want that tattoo.

    I'm wondering if I can get that story I'm working on done over the weekend (and what I'll do with it when it's done).

    @ LadyPain re tatoos: I've been told that though various body parts are more painful than others, there is a big variance of experienced pain from person to person.

    Now that I read about tattoos I think that I would love to make one, it's been a long time since that was my business. I also think that it's so annoying and difficult to write with one hand. I'm also thinking about all those tasks waiting there.

    I hope We don't get any more Nor'easter's around here this year. My friend's car-port
    just collapsed. I shoveled My porch roof earlier, already lost half of a deck to snow.
    I wish my husband had been on the same page with Me and not built these things so
    big..or plant trees as close to the road as he did. ( listen to the Irish ) buuuttt all I
    can do about it now is shovel and prune. I don't act bratty about it because He does
    alot of thankless yet necessary chores here and for other's. I better go call my propane
    company to ask when the next refill comes, don't want to start baking Jessi's birthday cake
    and run out of propane halfway through ! A 5' tall tank and I cant even see it under the snow.

    Got awakened by the Miserecordia Hospital...surgery is a go ahead and all the paperwork done. Terrified but nothing can be worse than the uncertainty I have lived with. Alot of hurry up and wait.

    Looked outside...think the windchill is about -40C. I am still gonna go walking. I want to hear the snow crunching under my boots.

    Having family over later this evening. I am making deep fried battered cod...chips and coleslaw for the evening meal. I like times like this.
