My Bachelor Pad to the Test

A house with no spouse. (sigh)

What the House Test Says About You

You are happy with who you are, and you don't have an inflated sense of self importance. You do your own thing quietly. You don't take up a lot of space. You can't stand community oriented people and annoying "buy local" campaigns. You prefer to live the best life possible, and that doesn't really involve many other people. You are a calm, contemplative, and smart person. You take ideas very seriously. You look good in a low maintenance sort of way. You do the minimum required to be attractive. You are moved by the most simple of things. You can find pleasure from a small, perfect moment.

The House Test

That's Me!

From the Word of the Day feed in the right-hand column:

dilatory \DIL-uh-tor-ee\, adjective:1. Tending to put off what ought to be done at once; given to procrastination.2. Marked by procrastination or delay; intended to cause delay; -- said of actions or measures.

Dilatory is from Latin dilatorius, from dilator, "a dilatory person, a loiterer," from dilatus, past participle of differre, "to delay, to put off," from dis-, "apart, in different directions" + ferre, "to carry."

And to think I almost waited until tomorrow to put this in.

I've Got Such a Stupid Face

That's what a bunch of recent emails have told me, anyway. They all call me by name, so I was afraid the truth had gone out just how stupid I really look.

I've been getting them via my mikeintexas Gmail acct.; spoofed headers, etc. but they all say the same thing and link to an .exe file.

Doing some research about it, I've found out I'm not the only one who has a stupid face. (Whew!) Misery (and stupid) loves company.

From the website:

If “video.exe” is downloaded and executed, it will install the Srizbi bot, and effectively turn the computer into a spam machine capable of sending up to 25,000 spam messages per hour.

I'd hate that; my Gmail acct. receives something like 25,000 spam messages per hour and I don't think I would want to send that many.

Actually, I don't think my face is stupid; I mean, it looks like it's done wore out three or four bodies, but....

No, what's stupid was me not obsfucating my email address in this blog.

DOH!

Skip the intro. if you like.

I really sucked at this; there's a typing sort of test, but mine wouldn't work, so I got a zero for that portion.

I'm 100% flesh & blood, except for my head...that's made of wood.

Picassa problems, practically picayune

Looks as though Picassa is having problems again. I've not been able to upload any photos today.

Most of my posts for the last several days, esp. the car show pics, are from the post-dating feature Blogger has provided us. That's a really nifty feature of these things.

August 18, 2007

It happened only once, and was most likely due to me deleting some unused photos out of this blog's album.



At least someone has a sense of humor, huh?
