Well, this morning my vendors have decided to cooperate, and my Exchange 2003 Server is finally sending and receiving e-mails. Yahoo! Damn thing works. Now I'm an Exchange Expert!

Multivendor Solution
Update on the Exchange 2003 project. The Security / Firewall company says they should be passing mail, the ISP says the Firewall is blocking mail. Been going on all day long. Back and forth, back and forth. At least my end works. Mabye I should kidnap both of them and leave them in the same room for a couple of hours duking it out...
Bored Dren answers other people's mail...
Ok, I saw this in the paper the other day, and thought about it a little, it was in the Dear Abby column on December 19th 2003.
DEAR ABBY: I am writing because my 12-year-old daughter, "Dorothy," is pregnant for the second time. Due to our religion, we do not believe in birth control or abortion. We kept the first baby, but we're afraid if we keep the second, Dorothy will continue to have premarital sex. Should we abort this one or let her have this baby, too? Please reply soon. -- CONCERNED PARENT IN TEXAS
Dear Concerned Parent,
What religion do you belong to that it is ok for a 12 year old child to be impregnated twice, but does not want to deal with that child? Let's face it, your religion sucks, and your daughter is a slut. Here is what you do, 1) Kill the father, 2) Have the little slut's tubes tied, 3) Get out of the Michael Jackson / R. Kelley religious cult, 4) move to a new town where people won't know just how stupid you must be to get into this problem in the first place.
Your friend,
The Dren

The Power of SPAM
Ok, if I answered and ordered all 8000 e-mails I've gotten recently offering to make my penis three inches longer, would I get a 24000 inch (2000 foot!) penis? And would could I do with my 666.6 yard long penis? That's about 1/8 of a mile!

Dear George,
Getting Spammers is a pain in the ass. It takes some investigation. First, you need an e-mail program that will let you look at the headers. Actually, most will, you just have to hunt around for a "show headers" option. Now, headers can also be forged, but they are still a good place to start.
Next step, look for the advertised domain. For example, all my recent spam has been coming from .biz locations. If you go to Network Solutions and do a "whois" lookup, sometimes you can get a good idea of who is spamming you. The e-mail in the Whois sometimes is valid, so send them a warning. Next, find out who thier registrar is and send them a nasty gram as well. Sometimes it will get you somewhere, sometimes not, but at least you have done something.
For example, people from Japan and Indonesia are still trying to make my penis larger, however the companies listed in my 12/17 post as scumbag spamming companies seem to have stopped spamming me. So I'm about 50/50 this month.
Another good trick is to block a domain, kinda like the worst ISP was doing. Figure out who is hosting the products advertised, and block their IP range completely in any routers you have so that both outbound and inbound traffice does not make it for them.
This won't end all your Spammer problems, but it can help. Also, check out folks like Spamhaus, they have pretty good resources too.

DVD Review
As mentioned below, I got the Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime" CD/DVD box set for Christmas.
The DVD is the long out of print "Storytelling Giant" that was released on VHS originally in 1988.
It is a collection of Talking Heads music videos up to that point in the band's history, interspersed with actual real people telling real, random stories in between.
While the Full Frame (4:3) video shows it's age, it is refreshing to see true artists making videos that are visually interesting and intriguing. The "Crosseyed and Painless" is especially interesting, because it includes no footage of the actual band, an MTV no-no for airplay.
If you are a heads fan, this DVD is worth the cost of the box set. Buy it and play it till your eyeballs fall out.

Microsoft, you still suck...
Trying to upgrade my server this morning from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003. The install program tells me to remove the Windows 2000 Administrative Tools. Well, you can't remove it in Add/Remove programs, it is not listed under Windows Components. It is installed from a file in the \i386\ directory called adminpak.msi
Got Tech Net on with my "Online Chat" that is part of my $350/Year Tech Net subscription. Seems that they do not know how to remove it either. Good planning.
Update: Well, it took over an hour, and they kept sending me to Windows 2003 support pages, but then they finally found the proceedure to remove the adminpak.msi from a Windows 2000 server. Good thing Microsoft has employees that know their product, god only knows how long it would have taken if their employess did not know the product.

More Spammer News
I've been getting lots of advertisements from herbalworld.biz for their product that will, "Lenghten and enlarge your penis 3+ inches." Well, aside from the fact that my wife said she wouldn't sleep with me if my penis got any bigger, I just don't need to be getting three copies of this e-mail each day. So I went to Network Solutions to find out who owned this domain, and to try and stop being spammemd. Guess what, THEY ARE BASED IN TOKYO! Guess Asian men really do have small dicks, maybe an increase of 3 inches would give them 3.5 inches. Here is the whois record:

Jesus loves you...
The rest of us think you are an asshole!
Tonight one Kallumannil Chacko who resides at 9503 Sundance Dr., Pearland, TX 77584 came to my door, rang the bell, and handed my wife a flyer with his home phone number, 281-412-4428. Woke up the baby, made my wife stop what she was doing to go to the door.
The flyer is the usual born again tract. So why am I pissed? Because I have a sign on the front of my house that reads:
NO SOLICITING
This means, but is not exclusive to: Alarm sales people, people who claim they are not selling alarms, but giving them away, anyone from ADT or representing ADT, or anyone with a Kirby Vacuum product. In fact, if you ring the bell and I open the door and you hand me a gift, I will close the door and keep the gift. I already have a nice set of glasses from Kirby. In addition, lawn care, landscaping and yard maintenance, cleaning products or vacuum cleaner salespeople. Steam cleaning, pressure washing. Painting our number on the curb. Sun screens, gutters or blinds need not ring bell.
We have plenty, or don’t want any of the services above.
If you think this might possibly apply to you, it does, go away.
If you ring my bell, you are trespassing; I will call the Pearland Police department as soon as I close the door.
If you feel the need to leave your sales brochure, information or business card, please deposit it in the trash can below, we will put it out with the trash on Monday or Thursday for proper delivery to the local landfill.
NO TRESSPASSING
Pretty straight forward sign, but the wife said they looked Indian, so maybe English isn't the best language for them to comprehend.
My wife declined to call the police, but I'm sending him a letter, telling him to stay off my property. Next time I won't be so nice. I will call the police, and I will swear out a tresspass complaint.
Be sure to call the number above, it is their prayer line, I'm going to keep in handy for the next time I'm up at say, 3AM to pee, will be calling then to ask that they bless my stream of urine.
Tonight one Kallumannil Chacko who resides at 9503 Sundance Dr., Pearland, TX 77584 came to my door, rang the bell, and handed my wife a flyer with his home phone number, 281-412-4428. Woke up the baby, made my wife stop what she was doing to go to the door.

Admit it!
Yeah, you watched Star Trek: The Next Generation.
And yeah, you were a geek kid and loved it every time Wesley Crusher did something spectacular.
Think Wil Wheaton has disappeared from the face of the earth?
Think again!

Eureka, it works!
Well, I followed all the instructions in the big book from Microsoft, and now my Exchange 2003 Server is up and running without a hitch. And now that I have gloated online about this, I'm sure it will burst into flames and burn down the bank at the same time.

Do you like big butts?
I have found your ultimate BIG BUTT DATING SERVICE - Badonka Date dot com. All big and bigger butts looking for love!
Learn to drive...
So I'm out with the wife and boy Christmas shopping with the wife and boy when this beater of a pickup truck whips out in front of me and then slows down from 40 MPH to 10 MPH. Across the back window in big letters is HOUSTONHANDYMAN.COM.
Hope this stupid peckerhead fixes things better than he drives. I you are going to whip your POS out in front of me in traffic, at least have the courtsey to keep going as fast as I was going. That finger I'm pointing does not mean, "Hey, look up there!"

More stupid Judge tricks...
A really stupid federal judge, Paul L. Friedman, is going to let lunatic John Hinkley Jr. loose without supervision. Look out Jodi Foster, he's coming for you!
Story here.

Ouch, that really hurts...
Went home for lunch to check my blood sugar and give myself an insulin injection.
As I was putting the needle end of the syringe into the safety cap when I was done, the needle bent and came through the cap. Stabbed me in the thumb really good, and wouldn't stop bleeding for about ten minutes.
Hurts like hell, even 1 1/2 hours later.

Forgot my insulin today...
Makes the room move in funny directions. This is great!
Why this country is on it's deathbed...
Tonight, Barbara Walters will reveal the Most Fascinating (her opinion) Person of 2003 on her prime time special "10 Most Fascinating People of 2003".
To help us out, she has posted the first nine online, but you have to tune in to see #1.
Who is fascinating?
Five queer guys who turn normal guys into "Metrosexuals", a woman who can sing and has big tits, a psycho bitch that wants to decorate your house, another queer man who got mauled by his tiger, an acrtress that looks like she hasn't eaten in years, an actor turned politician with a propensity for grabbing women's asses and tits, an 18 year old BOY that is making more in one day than I make all year, and finally, last, but not least, a couple that didn't get married this year because they generated too much media hype on their own about the event, and didn't want it ruined by the hype they built.
Man, I find it utterly amazing that there is not a fascinating person on this planet that is solely involved in politics, science, computing or anything else. And how about this, every single fascinating person is from the United States. No one frascinating outside our borders. I'll trade places with any of these top 10 jackasses any day, I'll bet they couldn't handle real world daily activities. This country has already gone to hell, and the handbasket has long since burned away.
Try these fascinating people:
Stephen Hawking, a fascinating scientitst
Tom Delay, a fascinating asshole
Howard Dean, a fascinating guy who won't be president
Shrin Ebadi, a fascinating revolutionary

Think your job sucks?
Worst ISP Update
I don't know about SBC, but Time Warner's Road Runner, the Worst ISP is now processing mail from the IAPC.net and WT.net domains. Anyone else out there tested to see if the Worst ISP is still blocking SBC.net?
I still haven't decided what to do about using the Worst ISP for my personal internet access. Anyone out there in the Houston area have anything good/bad/ugly to say about DSL?

Proof that women make you stupid...
Fugitive Pussy
Dumbest customer ever?
Ok, late yesterday, I'm working on the phone with a customer in another state who has a virus problem. I realize that the best thing for me to do is to take control of her computer remotely and do the work.
So I'm giving her our url to type in so she can get to our online support. Our web address has a dash. She says the web address isn't working. So I had her read it back to me. First she has one letter wrong, in such a way it makes no sense as it no longer spells an pronounceable word. I had her fix that. Still does not work. So I have her read the name back to me again. Turns out she has a dot where the dash goes. I tell her it needs to be a dash to work. Then she asks me what has to be the most shocking question of all time.
"What does a dash look like?"
What the fuck? It looks like a minus sign. Then she tops the first question by saying:
"Oh, you mean the forward slash."
No, I mean the fucking dash. It should be on your keyboard, just to the right of the 0 key.
"I still can't find it, I'm going to need to get someone more familier with computers to work with you."
Now, that's a relief. However, what I really require is someone familier with the English Language and it's common Punctuation Marks.
Where do they get these coonasses and why do they send them to me?

Google Bomb
Ok, found lots of angry folks with problems getting e-mail to Road Runner blocked for no good reason. So, lets Google bomb them. Just include the following link somewhere on your web page:
Worst ISP
If enough folks do this, it should push them to be the first link on Google when folks lookup "Worst ISP"
Worst ISP

Road Runner, you suck
I work in IT Consulting, and have been getting calls left and right this week because many of my customers can no longer send e-mails to friends/family/business contacts that are using Road Runner for their ISP. It seems that they are blocking a huge number of ISPs from sending mail, and not responding when e-mailed to using the addresses on the page their rejection notices point user to for resolution of this problem. Road Runner Sucky Security Policy.
I use Road Runner for access, but not for e-mail, guess it will be time this weekend to evaluate moving to DSL instead if this is going to be how they handle e-mail for the forseeable future.
Here is a list of domains that I know Road Runner is blocking. If you know of more, send them and I will add them to the list here.
wt.net
sbc.net
iapc.net

Watch out!
Been a while since the last post...
About 7 hours after that last post in August, I started having severe abdominal pains, vomiting and diarhea. I thought I had yet another kidney stone, something I've had before.
My wife took me to the closest hospital, Memorial Herman Southeast. You get through the Emergency Room Triage rather quickly when they think you have Kidney Stones. I don't remember much after arriving at the hospital. The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital thinking it was a couple of days later. My mom was there, and told me that it wasn't a couple of days later, but closer to thirty, and I was in a different hospital, St Lukes in the Texas Medical Center. I had suffered an attack of Acute Pancreatitis followed by ARDS, followed by Renal Failure, and had nearly died.
This would be a strange enough way to start the day, but thanks to the drugs I had been given, I had been halucinating and having lucid dreams while I was in the hospital. I thought that my father was dead, my wife had left me, and that I had been on some sort of cannibalistic frency killing and eating people. I had also been on at least 4 ships, married a woman from Ecuador and died once in these dreams/halucinations.
Kind of a wierd day. Then, when I started to come to terms with the mental part, as nothing my mother was saying made any less sense to me than anything else, I got the fun physical news. I'd been in a drug induced coma for most of the time I was down. Guess what, I'd lost 40 pounds, all my fat, and a lot of muscle. 35 years old, and can't sit up in the bed, feed myself, walk or anything else. I couldn't even dial the phone in the hospital reliably.
I was in the hospital for about a week after I woke up. Once I was alert and awake, I started demanding physical therapy immediately. I left the hospital on September 9th. This was a full two weeks and three days before the doctors expected me to get out of bed and start physical therapy. The doctors also expected me to be in intensive physical therapy at the hospital for at least a couple of months. Instead, I chose to go home and do outpatient physical therapy two days a week. The doctors prescribed me 12 weeks of this therapy. But after 6 weeks, the therapists said I was doing well enought I didn't need to go any more.
I started back to work on November 3rd. The doctors didn't expect me to start back to work till early 2004. They didn't know me very well. I did come back with weight and rest restrictions, but I am back working. Installed a Terminal Services server yesterday, and I'm working on an a new Exchange 2003 server. Life is good.
Oh, and when I woke up from the Coma and found out that my wife hadn't left me, folks also reminded me that she was pregnant, and starting to show. We had a beautiful baby boy on December 1, 2004. Life is great.
