Duplicates

Have a program named Duplicate Cleaner under the "microscope." Unless you are an advanced tech please let me review this program and also gather some opinions. Their website, Digital Volcano, is straightforward, has very good instructions, and they seem to have a grasp on the duplicating problem that we all experience. This program can be mega destructive if not used properly. I'll keep you updated on the results.

Still trying to post a tutorial on installation and usage of CCleaner. With the last week or so running rampant with distractions I am guilty of procrastination. Still have several projects to finish and need to start some type of minimal salvage of the recent fire. Still looks like almost a total loss. Hopefully before the week is out a routine can be established. Several factors, etc.

Two Items, One Tech One Not So Much

Am using a program that scans your computer and not only tells you what is not upgraded, but also links to the upgrades. It's called Secunia PSI. It is freeware and I read the EULA finding no hint of spyware. Now you may have noticed that I have not linked to this site. It needs more review. Those advanced enough to try it know how to locate this program and download. It has a simple and advanced mode. The simple is easy enough, but you find all the real settings and power in the advanced section. After some use a link may be posted. So far so good. This PC will be the guinea pig before links are added. Remember, if you do download, it's your ball of wax. Wanted everyone to know I've not forgotten to lend a hand at tech help. More on this later.

Congratulations are in order for Scott Brown. He won the deceased Ted Kennedy's vacated seat in the Senate. Yes, we can change. We can take back our country and stop all this ridiculous spending, idiotic foreign relations (our President bows to foreign hostile leaders?!?!?!!?!?) and put this derailed train back on the right track. Good Lord I hope we have a decent candidate for that office in the next election.

FYI, comments moderation is off so you should be able to comment and it post immediately.

Opinion

Ever have one of those crazy days where things just almost work? Happening at the beach house and surrounding area on this fine, fine Tuesday. Weather has turned out awesome, but fighting registry entries in DOS...'xcuse me the DOS emulation in XP. Fried Pie registry me thinks. Hate for people to lose valuable data, but no back up. Do you have an external back up? No? Do it!!!!!!!!!!

Privacy Netwise?

Took the weekend off from posting. Sorta' ridiculous to mention the obvious. Needed a break and had to do chores. Still not finished. With Ty Roneus doing most of the cutting we attacked that overgrown hedge. Now it has to be cut up into small pieces. We left a good bit of it since the thing has grown so tall it is in the electrical and cable wires. Big privet hedge, huh? Now the chain saw needs sharpening. Yep, big privet hedge.

I am a Google fan. This post is being written in Google's browser, Chrome. Firefox is still my favorite browser, but I like Chrome too. Anyway being a Google-ite this next recommendation may come as a surprise to others. Even though I like Google and feel they track only random web habits, there's a search engine out there that maintains strict privacy for users. Meander on over to startpage. The How-to Geek has a really good article about this search engine. I will compare it to Google for a while and let you know more. Meanwhile if you check it out, let me know your opinion. We've lost most of our privacy on the internet, virtually. Is that redundant?

Things to do. Catch ya later!

New Protection Software at the House of Beagle

Was cruising over at Beagle's site this morning and am testing the recommended protection software found there. There's a free contest to win a subscription. I read the whole EULA, then entered it. I think their estimations of various software is out of kilter somewhat, but the product scans in the background and found this PC clean. They seem sincere in their effort to help eliminate all the malware bad guys. We will see...For more info go over to the right column here, find the LINKS section and click on Beagle's Live Journal. She is at the very top of the list. My personal opinion of these creeps that write this garbage (malware, adware, spyware, thiefware, hijackers, etc.) is that they are the very scum of the earth and will reside in the lower bowels of hell. That said, a big thanks goes out to Beagle and her ongoing fight in this battle against these cretins. You da' Bomb, daughter of mine!

Still waiting on more photos of the gathering for Mother's birthday this past Sunday and will post when they arrive. Once again I'd like to thank my older brother and his gorgeous young wife for a wonderful shindig. Gosh, the food was tremendous! Many people contributed to the menu. Sis D had many wonderful entrees especially the pasta salad with balsamic vinegar, feta cheese and many other goodies, Lex made an awesome chicken salad, Beagle brought great cookies, Verdana made a sugar free Trifle that was to die for and This Could Be Yogurt (TCBY) supplied the heavenly birthday cake. Oh yes, a good time was had by all!

One of my favorite quotes, wonder if our President has read it? If so, he certainly didn't understand it!

Links Added

Added several new links. Just click on the one that interests you and off you go! This will eventually be a very long list. Links used to be a separate page, but there was some hosting confusion when MetroCast bought VistaMedia. It's good to have them back on the main page. Am working how to better define each link title and center things in the sidebar. Taking a few days off from trying position the Header. Arggghhh! New meds are taking some time to incorporate and tolerate. No surprises here. Everything is on schedule. Not much more to tell. The elephant will be riding the turtle late this evening (lawn mowing). What a great way to spend a Saturday evening, entertaining the community.

Tech Help and Observations (Kewl Quote Today)

Over that past few days Spybot Search & Destroy has had several updates. Most people need to check for updates manually (I do) so it may behoove you to hit that update button. Be sure and immunize. Hit the green + sign at the top of the immunize page to start the immunization process. There's also a virus making its rounds disguised as a UPS or DHL shipping notice message. Don't do it! Do a check before opening. Just scan that particular email with your anti-virus. BTW, have you defragmented your PC lately? Might be a good idea to check that too.

After the outrage at Notre Dame due to President Obama delivering the commencement address, all the protesters and the fact he had NO business at a Roman Catholic University given his somewhat shadowed religious beliefs, it was refreshing to read about another person addressing a graduating class. Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, addressed the attentive gathering at the University of Pennsylvania. He actually told them to turn off the computers for a while and look around in the analog world. Schmidt said. "Nothing beats holding the hand of your grandchild as he walks his first steps." Wow! Go Eric! Read about it at the Associated Press. Normally these things bore me, but this is an awesome article. Check it out.

No grumbling today. Some friends helped my plight by being good listeners or offering aid, some ignored me and others hung up. Thank you MJR for the offered Plaintain Cure, thanks Hoppa for the kind ear, thank you Verdana, Beagle, Felecia (edit: sorry about your rear end car accident while we we talking!) and Ashy for listening. Thanks to all my clients for their patience without pressure. Ahhh, so goes the way of the world. Have problems and friends tend to show true colors. God willing, today will be a better day. Lord-dee I was grouchy yesterday. Repairing the riding mower is the inside (or would that be outside?) beach house priority. You can bet your sweet bippie I'll be watching for those red wasps, lol. Nice to have my half full glass back. Have a casual day.

Tech and Life, It's Highly Recommended

Looks like the Southern Geek (disclosure - a great friend) is embracing Windows 7. Nice to see this site active again. After a well needed layoff (Mrs. Southern Geek was severely ill, but glad to report much much better) his return to things techno is great. Glad to see the hands on interest in Windows 7. Microsoft may have a winner. They need one. At least Vista has not been the outright failure everyone witnessed in Windows ME (aka Millennium). Dropping Home Basic would have been good and the Business version is not too spiffy either. Home Premium and Ultimate would have sufficed for all markets. Anxious to see hardware compatibility stats. Hopefully, they have curtailed that annoying UAC garbage that pops up every time you seem to hit a key while using Vista. Anyway, jump over to TechandLife and glimpse things from the mind of a Southern Geek. BTW SG, Christians Rock!

Yesterday morning the snow was pretty as it fell for a few minutes in the early morning. Schools were out north of us. Bundle up today. It's cold in the Deep South.

Looking for Midnight, Windows 7 beta and Peanuts.

You have no idea how glad I am that it's Tuesday the 20th of January, 2009. In less than 24 hours the Inauguration will finally end. I plan on avoiding the TV today. Rush Limbaugh is calling it the immaculation, LOL. It is historical in its own way, but enough is enough. Put the dude in the White House and let's see what transpires over the next 4 years. Get over it!

God in heaven knows I'll NEVER trust the TV news media again. Bunch of prejudice jerks. Okay, Fox is not so bad. BTW, I did cut cable back to minimum and am cancelling the TV part completely the end of this month. It's too expensive and really nothing but a load of garbage. I did 'up' my internet speed. Hope they install it soon.

On the tech side of things. Windows 7 beta is available for free download. Check it out over at TechSpot. They even tell you how you can dual boot it with XP or Vista. Nice.

If you haven't heard about the peanut contamination you might want to read Reuters. Hope you have a casual Tuesday.

Scroll Up for the SpeedTest Link Too!

As requested the Speedtest permalink now resides at the top and bottom of the page. Yes, that is a long way to scroll down. Hope everyone is enjoying a nice day. It was actually pleasant to take time out and mow the yard for a few hours. The neighbors drive by laughing and pointing when I am on my YardBug riding mower. The common nickname around the area is 'Elephant on Turtle', since the mower is green like a turtle and I am, well, a lardass. Now it's back to the grind. Have a workstation and a server to repair plus a great friend is droppping by to do some work on his gaming machine. It's an awesome SLI machine with all the heavy hardware. Hope Windows Update site is in a good mood today. Sometimes their voodoo is hard to download. You can thank that jerk Steve Ballmer for this annoyance!

You may notice that Sitemeter has changed and another source for counts may be sought. Their website and configuration might as well be written in another language. Many good years with a really nice counter then somebody buys it and makes it difficult so you will pay them money. It's the way of the internet. Greed is such a nasty, dirty thing. Later.

Real Time Stock Quotes Online and Free!

Google rocks. They now offer free real time stock quotes. Read about it at the Official Google Blog. You can find the quotes at Google Finance. This is a great online utility and it's nice that they are sticking it to sites like the hateful jerks at the Wall Street Urinal...uh, Journal. Don't like the WSJ since they blocked a link of mine last year. To be in the finance business they sure haven't figured out the internet. Otherwise they wouldn't dis free publicity. The beach house likes people linking.

It's really super that down through the years people have gotten in the habit of visiting on a regular basis. Thank you very much for your continued support. I read EVERY email and note all comments. So nice to know that people are interested in the ramblings, possum lore, tech news and southern flavor of this site. Certainly I encourage people to recommend Cybersouth. It's apparent that new visitors show up because this site is usually in the top three over at Google Search.

During the past week or so several posts have been made about my intense dislike of Obama. While it's known that I am a conservative it does my heart good that the Republican, Democratic and other parties exist. My distaste of bleeding heart liberals runs deep and organizations like the ACLU, yellow press, etc., should fear if ever the title 'Emperor of the Known Universe' is bestowed upon me. This is a position that is not likely to be offered anytime soon. From time to time it is mentioned that folks that endorse such institutions should find some other site. They won't find any sympathy here. At my age it is a sure bet that opinions won't change.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for your support. If you need to rant, rave or rage against this small machine then please use email. There is a limit on length in comments. My email address is cybersouth@gmail.com. Compliments are welcome too! Have a casual Tuesday.

Dissent and Dissension

AT&T is ridiculous. They want $129.00 to replace my present phone with one just exactly like it. It's a Razr V3xx. The Razr V9, the one I really want, is $200.00. Seems the "phone company" is forever trying to screw us all. Since I am due for an upgrade I think the least they could do is replace my existing phone. But nooooooo! If anyone has suggestions, help will certainly be appreciated. Know what? I'm going to change the subject, somewhat, because whining and complaining does no good.

Shopping for a new phone? Beagle and Mudslingr found this great link that gives specs, costs, reviews, etc., about many different carriers and phones. The web page is Mobiledia. You can see the phones supposedly available thru your carrier. Better check with a local rep to make sure they really do offer a particular phone in your area. This is a good site. It helped me decide to keep the phone now in use and purchase a new battery for it.

CYBERSOUTH LINKS: They have been removed by my internet service provider, MetroCast. They gave no warning and didn't even notify me. Just changed it to some of their propaganda and ignored politeness and manners. I wish VistaIIIMedia still drove this train. Oh well, what should one expect from a group of people that far north of Corinth, MS? Manners are not their forte. Efforts will be made to put the links back up on some other provider.


Let me reiterate. If you do not like what was said in yesterday's post about Obama, please drag your dumb butt to some other site. I WILL NOT retract anything said yesterday and this flaming from people that can't even compose an email is a joke. You can keep doing it though. Instead of making me angry it comes across as amusing. If only you'd include your address instead of going to great measures trying to hide your presence then I could use a red marker and return your emails with corrections. Wait...nevermind. Keep sending them anonymously. No need to waste my time. Flame on!

Landings

The Phoenix Mars Lander touched down successfully on the 25th and is now sending back pictures. Read more at NASA.gov. What a nice way to start a great exploration. Space geek here and will constantly monitor the NASA site for news. Think they will find evidence of water? I do. If you'd like to see a great photo spread concerning the red planet check out the Mars Photo Album from MSNBC. Thanks out to EdC, that great Texas philosopher, for a most interesting link.

Everybody is raving about the new Indiana Jones movie. Several people have emailed or called to say Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a must see box office smash. 311 million bucks the first weekend? Yep this is a winner. This blockbuster has truly landed at your local theater. Click on the link and learn about this movie. This site is very well done and has several clips.

Glad to see that folks nationwide honored our Veterans on Memorial Day. Does everyone know that John McCain has been to Iraq every six months since the war started in 2003? God knows this man realizes the horrors of war. After being a Vietnam POW he can identify with the rigors of being a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine. His recent actions against the proposed GI Bill alterations will actually improve the whole concept. What has Mr. no hand over heart Obama done except promise some vague sort of "change." Change what?

I try to stay out of it, but Obama scares the hell out of me. His continued support of his racist pastor, Jeremiah Wright, really bothers me. His extremist Muslim background rightfully bothers Christians living in a land founded by Christians. Of course, my vote will be for McCain. Wish there was some way Hilary could win the nomination of her party. This vague, smooth tongued Obama fellow doesn't deserve the nomination IMHO. How did he even get elected to ANY political position? Are there really people that stupid in the world? Guess so. And hey, if you don't agree, tough! All my Democratic friends say they will crossover and vote for McCain, or as one put it, "against Obama."

Please remember this is NOT a forum. If you disagree with my political stance you may flame on by using email. My addy is cybersouth@gmail.com. This site reflects my attitudes and opinions. If you vehemently disagree with me then go somewhere else. Better yet, create some type of web site and voice your opinion. I will stand up for our rights as Americans and am a believer in free speech. Soap box is being pushed back under the bed now.

Updates Somewhat Varied

Just finished the installation of SP1 for Vista. It was in the Automatic Downloads from Windows. Downloaded quickly, installed smoothly and there have been only good results so far. Machine shuts down and starts up in a more efficient manner. I'll keep you posted if any problems arise. Microsoft apparently cured the problems experienced early on; now if they'd only get rid of that PITA Steve Ballmer.

Attention ZBoard users. Don't let that May 22nd date fool you on new drivers. If you are running any flavor of Vista they are still using the version 2.3.0.19. So stick with your present driver if you haven't updated. They had issued a new version (2.5.0.18), but are now advising everyone to roll back. You'll know that you have a problem if you receive a DMDMO1 error. Read more about it at Ideazon. Wish they'd get busy and cure the call target problem after sleep mode! I love some ZBoard though!

There is a new SetPoint version 4.60 for Logitech G5 mice. Be sure and do a search by image since there are several versions of the G5. It's a hefty download too. 54.2 megs, and that's a whopper for driving a mouse. IMHO, the Logitech G5 is the absolute best mouse on the planet. It'll coast ya at least 50 bucks and it does have a mouse tail. Yep it's wired, not wireless. The Zboard is wired too. It's a small thing when it comes to performance. The G5 download page is at LogitechSupport.

Enjoy this great national holiday. Memorial Day is so important to our nation. If you know someone in the service of our country get in touch and tell them, "Thank you!" They are keeping your butt free so do something to show appreciation. And if you see an old Vietnam vet, give the poor soul a hug. They came home to a very cold welcome from anti-war protestors and flaming nancy liberals. They still had the draft back then and many were forced to go.

"They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead."

Tupelo Area Buyers Alert

Ashby Rhett Culpepper, III, Esq. Jr, made a computer purchase yesterday. First attempt was BestBuy to pick up one they had in the paper. They had none in stock and told him they could not order any. The sale ended yesterday at closing. He arrived with money in hand early in the afternoon. This is blatant false advertising. The salesman even refused to discuss it any further. When Ashby told a manager, the manager laughed and said, "Have a nice day." JERKS!

The only reason he didn't go to Circuit City first was because of the, "advertised sale." He did leave the creeps at BestBuy, walked into Circuit City, found a better model at a better price which happened to be on sale, but not advertised. They gladly took his money and he now has a great machine and feels good about the price. He was certainly pissed when he left the herd of baboons at BestBuy. You go Ashby! Jason, the manager at Circuit City, has always been helpful as have their sales reps. Nice folks. Keep up the good work! We appreciate ya!

To my Guild Wars friends. Ahhhhhh! The future is so bright I gotta' wear shades. Magnus Tormance, Ranger Beastmaster, can be seen in the game from time to time with his faithful companion Seeineye Cat. He is honing skills as a Beastmaster, but still shows up as a Barrage Ranger from time to time. Needing help in Asura land? Now have 4 level 5s in the Asuran track and 1 level 7 that's close to 8. What great, great fun! Nice to get a chance to play again!

Today is #5

Took the weekend off to let the back rest and get some sleep. After a mad attempt to clean Saturday it was apparent that my wrestling with the huge battery backup last week resulted in a less than good thing. Feel better now. Part of it was the fact that I stayed still with my feet up most of Sunday. Now the new week starts and there's minimal whining at the beach house.

The battery on the phone went down yesterday. I didn't realize this had happened until I awakened last night thinking how it had been a strangely quiet day. Looked at the phone for the time and realized it was off. If I missed your call, well, I missed your call. Apologies out to my Guild Wars friends for leaving the game on unattended. Noticed most everybody in the guild played yesterday. That's great! But so was my sleep.

There's a lot of prattle on the internet concerning the collapse of the Windows family of operating systems. I have two words for all you naysayers: BARNYARD MATERIAL. Granted the recent venture called Vista hasn't been a great success. Microsoft has listened and extended the sales and service of XP until 6 months after the initial availability of Windows 7 (it's almost a sure bet it won't be called '7') or June 2010. This wording tells me we aren't too far away from Version 7.

It's sad in a way. Recent studies has proven that Apple's OSX is so easy to hack that people don't bother. Linux seems the toughest with Windows Vista (NOT XP) in the middle. Vista can be annoying with the UAC stuff, but it's there for a reason. It protects you from yourself. True, Vista is demanding when it comes to hardware. This in mind, please don't upgrade to Vista with a machine barely capable of XP. Memory? When they say 1gig is substantial don't believe it. Get 2gigs. Or more.

Besides, the other operating systems have some form of UAC (User Account Control). Hate to disappoint the dissenters, but Vista is not a bad operating system. And before you Apple Nazis start flaming about the above remark let it be said the beach house is soon going to have OSX or an Apple machine on the network. Nothing wrong with Apple if you don't mind the price and hype. As a matter of fact if you are doing graphics work Apple rocks. Yet, please don't mislead your PC buddies - Quark runs fine on a Windows PC. K, Quark really doesn't run "fine" on anything (insert that evil grin here).

If you are satisfied with your present XP machine and don't like Vista just wait on Windows "7" or whatever they call it. But don't be afraid to carefully look at the hardware specifications on a new machine and try Vista Premium or above. Vista Home Basic should be removed from the shelves - TODAY. It's horrible.

Here are several links concerning the operating systems bruhaha:

The weather here is cool. It's a good day to stay casual. Enjoy life and laugh sometime today. As a matter of fact, laugh several times. One last thing: Cybersouth, from the Saltillo Beach House, is five years old today. Thanks out to all readers, supporters, dissenters (yes Apple Nazis, I love you too) and the many people that are my core group. Y'all help keep my rambling and feeble efforts to entertain up and running. Those that use this site as home page are the absolute bombdiggity, lol. Thanks to Chyna Moon for the awesome banner.

Melody of the Nutbird

Why would anyone be foolish enough to put over 100 games on a business computer? Among all the other activities this weekend I removed over 1000 infections (it may have been 2000 - I lost count) and did the registry edit from hell to save this machine. It has an AS400 client on it, a huge office suite and many other proprietary applications. Yet someone decided to play games with it. Absurd even on a home computer!!! There were also 3 different anti-virus programs running. Thank the Good Lord for Safe Mode because this one sure wouldn't boot in Normal Mode.

One of the culprits supplying this nefarious garbage was Yahoo. Just Google the words 'Yahoo and Spyware' and scroll down after all the yahoo addresses and read about this junk. It's horrible. If I ever become Emperor of the Known Universe, this company will be first on the list for eradication with AOL and COMCAST not far behind. I'd also offer bounties on people in the spyware business. Just shoot 'em and dispose of the bodies. Anyone in this industry stands a DAMN good chance of going straight to hell. I hope that I haven't been too reserve in my opinion.

Yes, the ear is still bothering me, but spyware inflames me. Now I must stop to take my meds. Later, y'all.

Day 4 of 2008

Using GMail? This is the absolute best email service on the planet. Quit worrying about all the people you have to notify and send them a message from your new GMail account and get with it! Read a great article by John Brandon over at PCMag.com

After a most trying day yesterday with the truck almost going up in flames I opted to play Guild Wars and distract myself from the most stressful week of the year. My daughter in Baton Rouge felt my pain and got online for a while and we messed around doing a few things in the game and talked a lot.



She knows it bothers me to not be able to keep to the schedule and spent some time supporting and shoring up her old Dad. My daughters are awesome! To have them both in the game and talking to each other on Teamspeak is one of my favorite pastimes. Truly, God has blessed me. You know, the truck situation doesn't look so bad now.

Getting Some Negativity Out of the Way EARLY This Year

Ah yes, there's nothing like starting out a new year with your vehicle in the shop and a million tasks that are VERY important to complete. Well, I am not gonna let it bother me and start the stress-out dance. It'll be repaired or replaced then life will go on as usual. Could be several things malfunctioning and the wait n' see game is underway. It just won't crank. Here's hoping a new battery will cure all.


Be very careful with Service Pack 3 for Microsoft Office 2003. It will disable several older file formats. If you have, say, some old Word 97 documents or Quattro, etc., you may not want to use this update. There is a workaround available, but apparently it'd take the ghosts of Einstein and Newton to install it. Read about it at Slashdot. Of course I am running Office 2003 here at the beach house. There are many old documents here too! Gosh, wouldn't have it any other way, LOL.

Which Operating System Are You? <----Click here for the quiz. Yes, I've been over at Beagle's site cruising around and it's for sure we're family. She ended up Linux RedHat and my results---->



You have to use a grain of salt with any of these quizzes since I haven't the foggiest of Slackware knowledge and can only wish to know the ins and outs of this great server operating system. The description box is posted because it does declare me testing insane, LOL!

If you are shopping on this Black Friday, please be careful. The life you save may be my own. Yes, I am going to wait a while and venture down to the mall area. The medication hasn't quite kicked in yet. Stay safe and peace out!
