Knock Knock…

There comes a knock at your door…

You glance out the window and see…

A Panther, a Jaguar, or a Leopard…

Ask yourself, are you going to answer the door?

Now the roles have changed, and you glance out once again…

And to your surprise, you see…

A Fawn…

Quite feisty, yet so cute…

So hurry up, answer the door, and let it in…

Enjoy your new friend, as it will not only provide you with friendship, but it will make you feel strong, safe, and secure.

What's This, Kubuntu Sending Worms

This is way to funny. I think spammers need to start reviewing who they send their “worms” to.

Mail server report. Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer. Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms). Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably. After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail addresses Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.

/me pictures Windows users around the world cringing at such a warning

Grannys Gotta Switch

Well, Granny already switched. Over the weekend, I switched my friends 74 year old grandmother to Kubuntu, and even fancied it up for her. I showed her around, and how to update. Well, I showed her how to install .deb files as well. She is pretty computer savvy, which was just way to cool for me. Well, I just talked to her today, and here is what she had to say:

“I love dpkg -i Richie. I found a card game and it was packaged for Debian, but it had the .deb ending. So I did the sudo dpkg -i name.deb, and it installed without one question. That is what I hated about Microsoft. It always asked stupid questions that would confuse me, and I never knew if I installed the program or not, so I would usually give up or wait for Zach to come around.”

Granny B, You Rock! I thought this was pretty neat, and decided to share. Note, I couldn’t remember the card game she installed, but she is loving her Internet and E-Mail, now that she doesn’t have to constantly worry about opening them as well. When I visit Granny B, I will get a picture of her hacking away with her Kubuntu setup.
