Friday Funny: Things you probably shouldn’t do

November 6, 2009 By Robert Owen

Happy Friday!!!   This week's Friday Funny is not a joke but, a series of images of certain activities.  Activities that SHOULD NEVER be performed in the manner in which they are pictured. This post is not intended for instruction... In other words "These people are obviously professionals,  don't attempt this at home!" Just click on a thumb nail to see a larger image. Enjoy!  :lol: … [Read more...]

Scam attempts: Aren’t they cute?

November 5, 2009 By Robert Owen

Howdy all! I hope all is well for everyone this fine day! Today, I got a fresh scan attempt in my e-mail.  This one is interesting in that fact that  it abandons the old  "Hey, I'm in another country and my pop died and I need to funnel his money out..." route.  This is attempting to lure you in by embracing the whole "random internet user" thing... In fact it addressees  it's opening remarks to "Internet User"... Is this supposed to give you a sense of security?  I don't know but, from … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: The Afterlife

October 30, 2009 By Robert Owen

Hello everybody!!!  Sorry for no Friday Funny post last week...   It appears my friends really did have other things to do as no one sent me anything new.  (Go figure!  Bunch of over achievers!)  Couple that with the fact that I was "Busier than a one armed paper hanger" and you have my excuse. So, here for your Friday Funny pleasure, I give you...  The Afterlife! A  couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back  and inform the other of the afterlife.  Their biggest fear was … [Read more...]

Windows 7 error 86

October 28, 2009 By Robert Owen

Windows 7 & Windows 2000  -  Error 86 when mapping drives. One of my upgrades this week to Windows 7 was from a Windows XP laptop. Following  the steps I outlined in my previous post the initial process was a breeze!  No problems at all!!  Simple, some would say,  and as everything else goes as soon as "they" said it was simple...  Something will break!  That's just how it is... If something seems easy, it will be easy!  Until you TELL someone it was easy, then all bets are off! In … [Read more...]

Windows 7 Clean Install from Upgrade

October 28, 2009 By Robert Owen

Windows 7 seems to be a hit! Since it's release on October 22, I've installed it in one form or another MANY, times probably twelve in the last 6 days.   The first couple of upgrades concerned me slightly because of the indefinite answer on whether or not you could do a clean install from the upgrade disk. I had a couple of laptops running the release candidate and I DID NOT want to have to install Vista then do an upgrade.  But to my surprise that was just as easy as the install from an … [Read more...]
