i'm sad that there seems to be a lot of people (at least on my freinds list) who have lost interest in livejournal. At the same time I am curious why LJ haven't integrated a feature that does something like posting the first 100 chars you write, or the title of your post, to your twitter feed or facebook status with a pre-shortened connecting URL ( Read more... )

we had a  new girl start at work today. i think she is going to rock it pretty well.  i hope she is anyway. i don't know if she seemed to grasp the whole situation with how we do things faster than i did because she is smarter than me, or if we have just gotten better at explaining it. regardless she already flossed some skillz with the graphics ( Read more... )

Last night and this morning I battled a computer infection called "Malware Defense". Holy living crap as it a pain in the ass. It was a virus/malware designed to look like a malware remover, complete with a slick GUI and very realistic looking task bar pop ups etc etc. Pure freakin evil.
