    Today I go back to work.  

    Yuck.  I think you need another day off to get re-acclimated to being home before heading back to work.  You may tell your boss I said so.

    Too late now since I already worked today.

    Morning. City towers leaning into a lumpy grey overcast fashioned ghostly white by the rising sun and ear-splitting noisy from legions of mechanical diggers scrapers and gougers making up for lost time after the two-day horse race holiday :)

    Good morning everyone~ laugh

    Up and at  em this fine Austin Tuesday morning, slept pretty well for being in a strange place.  Looks overcast today, but that won't slow down my exploratory manuvers!!

    Anne is a very nice, fun lady.  Great conversationalist! yes

    I need to go 0ut and find breakast and coffee.. there are a huge pile of eaiing places so I sure won'tstarve!

    So, tes commute today and a haircut, then wander around town for the afternoon.  I'm going to grab the super-fancy all-modes bus pass that gets me on light rail, bus,and express bus - worth the investment.  

    Still a t9uch tired but I feel WAY than after the list flight I took.  Leg feel fine, back isn't sore, and ZERO screaming kids to deal with.  The bus from Tulsa to Dallas was older but had extra legroom, I could actually stretch out!  The bus from Dallas to Austin was brand new, not as much regroom but omg the seats were insanely comfy.  On both buses i had two seats to myself,, I got to squirm around and wtch watch the landscape go by.

    Observation - Oklahoma and Texas have a lot of cattle.  The only time I didn't see pastures full of cows is when we were in a town! surprise Mooooooooooooo..

    Time to clean up and head out!  Talk to you later!

     

     

    Mult-eee pass

    LOLOLOL cheeky

    Mmmmm, spotted owl soup... Just like mom used to make.

    How about sharing her recipe with us?  At the very least, it sounds like this could be a new food item for your catalog.  I want it.

    Owl soup would be a hoot cheeky

    I got a text message on my spare phone that Microsoft was telling me I have a virus on my computer

      Wtf?   What kind of sick joke is that?  Tonight I can do diagnosis but why won't Microsoft use methods through the computer to let me know?  Also that is the wrong phone number to text.  I won't pay anyone to fix my computer for a virus that may or may not exist.

    It looked like a scam since too many things made no sense.

    I know most of the people here are fairly well versed and experienced in tech and are computer and Internet savvy... But, often there are those who just read these threads and never really comment, so more for those whom I don't know, and therefore can't know what they know or how experienced they in such matters...

    Please be wary of any contact from Microsoft, especially this new scam where they text, email or call you to notify you that your Windows 8 and or Windows 7 license has "expired" and you must now upgrade to Windows 10. Microsoft will not contact you for any reason especially to tell you have a virus or anything wrong with your computer. These are professional scammers who are attempting to hijack control of your computer, they instruct you to click on links and while walking you through the installation they WILL remotely gain control of your computer... They WILL lock you out and charge you a ransoms of around $200- $500 to gain control back, only within a few days you will once again be locked out and they will once again try and get money from you... When they no longer can bleed you for cash, they will wipe your hard drive and do as much damage to your computer as that hijacker can do as punishment for not obeying them... These are vile and ruthless criminals that are in special league as they are unusually vindictive and cruel.

    Being that there have been no attempts to stops this sort of industry and there are so many variations it is bewildering and almost impossible to keep up with on a daily basis.

    Popular at the moment:

    • IRS scam... You owe the government thousands or hundreds of dollars in back taxes, you have been audited and found to owe money, the IRS is filing a lean against your bank account and you must pay immediately or they will jail you... There are many versions and many levels of sophistication, fortunately most of the jokers who make the calls can barely speak English and threaten to jail your children too, which is to a citizen is ludicrous, but may work on immigrants from countries with corrupt governments... Most of the texts and emails are equally stupid and unsophisticated, but sadly a few are pretty well played and presented.

    The IRS does not call your home, they will notify you by mail, you can not be force to pay immediately or go to jail and there is an appeal process.

    • The "There was a problem with your shipment" scam.... Pick an online company, Amazon, Overstock, EBay, even UPS and FedEx... The goal is to get you to click on a link... don't... Go to the official site and track down the status of your order that if you indeed are expecting one.

    • The "Stop f_ _ _ing calling me!!" Text scam... Respond and get charged a fee... There are many variants of this, sometimes it's a text from what seems like a friend, or sexy young woman saying she lost your phone number, sometimes it's a plea for help from someone who seem to be in trouble... The goal is to get you to respond (even what sounds like someone about to commit suicide) mostly you will be charged a one time fee of around $10-$15, but sometimes this opens you up to a subscription to a "service"... Sometimes this is to harvest real live phone numbers for other criminals or for "spoofing" (using you number for caller ID, so people will think they are getting a local call and not one from a foreign country).

    I could go on and on, there are dozens of these and somewhere I was actually making a list, but either it got deleted or renamed, because I can't find it... But please don't ever be too hasty with anything even remotely suspicious... When in doubt, throw it out... Delete it... If you ever fall for a scam, it's not your fault... Brilliant people fall them, you might be off your game, sleepy or they did a good job... Report it to the relevant authorities and don't feel funny about mentioning it to others or warning others... The more people know, the more people don't fall victim to these rectal parasites.

    Dont trust anyone... Hell don't trust me even... I'm evil... There it's out of the bag... It actually felt good to say... 

    Anyway... I just wanted to say all that and it's not meant to imply anyone here is a mark, pigeon or naive... Just be careful.

    Laterz peeps.

    Yeah, I got a call from "Microsoft" a few days ago from a guy with a deep Indian accent who said his name was "George" and he tried to tell me that my computer was malfunctioning in some way.  I interrupted him and said "First off, I know my computers are OK, and your name is not George, you're not from Microsoft, and I'm not going to talk to you any more, <click>.  I reported it to https://www.fcc.gov/guides/unwanted-telephone-marketing-calls enlightened

    Today I got a call from one of my few remaining PC repair customers saying that she'd gotten a call from "Microsoft" saying that her drivers were faulty and other bad news.  I finally got enough information from her to believe that she did not go to their links, and strongly warned her NOT to.  I hope I nipped it in the bud for her. yes

    I know some of those callers are doing it because it's a job and they're desperate but I wish there was some way to cauterize the problem immediately, like a "Fry the Caller" button on my phone. devil

    I am always somewaht surprised to find that there are people who honestly believe that a Corporation as big as MicroSoft has the text/phone number of everyone who has MS whatever on their Computers.

    Apparently the PT Barnum Sucker Theory still holds. My latest call came from Bangalore (or Pune, or Chennai, or Kolkata etc.), informing me that "the government" had selected my number (number... not name) to win $9,000.00. If you toy with them a bit, you can drive them off their script and they become insulting then hang up. I find that method, when I do have time to play, tends to have them remove my number more than demanding same.

    I get being desperate, but they know what they are doing and they coached on how to take advantage of the elderly and how extort money and instill fear and make threats... Worse yet, these are educated people using their technical skills for evil... Nevermind a B-ark, I'd like to have an F-ark... Fill it with scammers, virus and Trojan authors and all manner of evil hackers and cyber scum and send them off to go colonize the sun... Yeah, send us a text when you get there.... So long and thanks for all the grief.
