Everyone else is making money but me.........
Well, not really. I find that people seem to always think that others are making huge money from whatever they are doing.

Non-Technical - Adware/Spyware developers and marketing folks are not my favorite people
At one of my customer's, when I am not there, someone else will use the computer that I use, due to resource limitations. That is fine with me, I'm not there all the time. Unforntunately, about a month ago, one of these folks somehow got hoodwinked into installing some adware/spyware. Now, whenever, I show up in the morning, I get one popup screen after another (AOL 9.0, MSN, Refurbished Dell computers (like I would ever buy a Dell again), and such) on this development computer. I have tried Spybot and Ad-Aware SE. Spybot sees almost nothing (yes it is fully updated). Ad-Aware SE sees some of these files, but whenever I instruct Ad-Aware to remove the files, these same files keep coming back. I'm not criticizing Spybot and Ad-Aware for being bad products, merely that they can't handle the current situation. I have googled for all of these adware, spyware, malware products, but I have never been able to get these scum bags removed. These products are wupdt.exe, polmx3.exe, and qwnpln.exe. I am fearful that the only way to resolve this problem is going to be to repave and start over with this machine. About 12 months ago, someone installed some adware product at my office. It messed up everything with the computer and the only solution was to repave. About 3 months ago, I got caught by the Download.Ject virus and I just repaved and started over. These spyware people wonder why no one likes them.......Geez.

The US Economy is definitely on the upswing
The US Economy is definitely on the upswing. Want to know why I know that? Because in the last couple of months, the body shop headhunters have been coming out of the woodwork wanting me to come work for them. I have now been contact 3 times in the last week and 5 times in the last month. All I have to do is take a pay cut and sign away every bit of intellectual property I own and I can belong to them. Oh, oh, what should I do........

Intel CEO Dr. Barrett is upset with his employees
It seems that Dr. Craig Barrett of Intel is upset with his employees. I disagree with his views, but I couldn't resist responding to his latest memo with a smartass comment of my own.
