Switch Your Browser Now

By now I am sure you have all heard about the viruses on web pages that track your keystrokes. Even my parents heard about it, and they are by no mean computer savy.

image

According to the article
This week, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, part of the Department of Homeland Security, advised Internet users to "consider" using a different Web browser as a possible solution until Microsoft fixes the flaw that allows Explorer to be exploited.

I agree switch to mozilla firefox . It is what I use when designing and viewing elmwoodstrip.com. I have noticed that 60% of you still visit here coming from Internet Explorer. You are risking so much using software that is poorly constructed and hated by the millions of people that want to see microsoft collapse.

Mozilla firefox is open source and best of all its free. It is avaiable for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. You can get a copy by clicking on the "get firefox" link at the bottom of the (e:info) journal's link list or clicking here . I have made this so easy , you have no excuse not to protect yourself and switch.

Here is a link [inlink]paul,627[/inlink] to another entry I wrote a while back on this and other open source, free, and useful software.

Sadness on Elmwood at Coffee&

I decided to venture on out of the house tonight to see elmwood first hand. Right now I amat Coffee& waiting for (e:mike).

image

Everyone thinks I am busy typing so they are talking freely about how it might close cause no one comes here. It is so sad cause newly corporosized spot is packed. As a matter of fact, I went by spot first and had to leave cause I remember how corporate they were getting and that they were going to franchise into the middle east.

I think there are two problems here at Coffee&. The first one is location. It is slightly more hidden than spot. They also don't appeal as much to the nouveux riche suburban crowd because of their deco. I mean it definatelt, appeals to the hippie elmwood crowd but that'snot the crowd with the expendable income.

I also heard their Coffee wasn't that great although, honestly, it tasted good to me. If they had the best coffee in town people would come no matter what.

The counter boys were saying they should make advertisments on their own initiative. When is the last time you heard a worker say something like that. They must actually repect their employer and enjoy their work.

The one dude just said, "I haven't even gotten paid yet and I would carry a sign down the street. We gotta do something" He is right.

I remember when Buffalo used to be full of coffee houses. Anyone remember the old topic? I used to be a chess champion there, I also used to love how the young and old would integrate their and share a cultural experience. None of that at starbucks. Starbucks sucks, first off cause it's full of corporate fuckheads and pretentious yuppies but also because its the equivalent of a coffee walmart. They clearly moved in here to destroy local business. I mean even if the coffee market sucks they will survive till everyone else closes.

I am so mad that elmwood is going corporate. And now that the coopisdoing their knock down and rebuild it crap, everychain store on earth is going to follow. When will they just put a glass ceiling over the top and open a rainforest cafe.

My Last Poster Against Smoking

Everyone said the lunch crunchies [inlink]paul,1246[/inlink] were too cute to be effective, so I added this new one, that is the blackness of satan. By the way I was once called the blackness of satan by my old roomate in South Carolina.

Anyways, it worked for me, one week since I quit and I am willing to brave the pink tonight.

This lung crunchie is like the gremlin that got wet. I might just try and get a job with those canadian cigarette companies!

A Chronological Approach to Me

I was going through some of my backup files and found some old pics of me. My favorite is the fat one (I was never fat, its a camera trick.)

Here we go in chronological order.

Me as a kid at nonna's House.

Here I am in 1987 feeding some seagulls at Lasalle Park.

Robin and The Robery

Robin, [inlink]robin,214[/inlink] sorry to hear about your incident. You should really post a description of the man so other people know to watch out for him. Maybe even scan in a little sketch.

I agree that the police in Buffalo are useless. I have called them during three serious situations [inlink]paul,692[/inlink] in Buffalo, and they have never helped and/or arrived during the time of the crime or even within an hour of the situation.

That is one advantage to living in Kenmore, that little police state on the other side of Kenmore avenue. I mean you have to deal with their draconian policies, like no siting on the sidewalk, etc but at least you know in an emergency they are there in about 45 seconds, seriously. If I was old and law abiding this would be ideal. They have even recovered several bikes for me which is never going to happen here in Buffalo.

The other night at (e:keith) 's house [inlink]news,362[/inlink] Jill and I were just joking but I think it holds true. We were saying that in a real emergency we would probably just call the Kenmore police and beg them to get us, haha.

I honestly do not feel any safer with our city cops. Just more scared, remember critical massacre anyone? [inlink]emily,167[/inlink]

Or how about when (e:chaibiscoot) had her night visit from cops [inlink]chaibiscoot,11[/inlink].

Sometimes vigilante tactics [inlink]holly,62[/inlink] are the best ones. One time in the Tops parking lot my mother was mugged, and (e:mike) was just a kid. He apparently just screamed and screamed while my mother wrestled her purse back. Robin, you should just carry some mace with you. I mean even if its illegal, we can pretty much rest assured the Buffalo cops will never catch you. Maybe even a tazer.

I got this picture from

Jason Coates has some really great oil paintings. I foudn him on google.

Lung Crunchies Update

In reference to [inlink]soyeon,45[/inlink], I have also made it a week without smoking any tobacco. This is the longest ever I think. So thanks to my little lung crunchies [inlink]paul,1246[/inlink] and some tastey mushrooms, I don't think I will ever be able to smoke cigarettes again.

The Taste Of Buffalo

Okay, so my very favorite time of the year is almost here. I once skipped out on a trip to France in order to attend the Taste of Buffalo. Here is a with all of the information. It is July 10th from 11am to 9PM and July 11th from 11am to 7pm.

image

I know, most of you probably think, he is so skinny, what the hell does he even eat. Well, at the tast eof Buffalo I eat everything, especially anything wrapped in tastey bacon, like the bacon wrapped shrimp they are bound to have.

It is time to plan for the day and save money for the 6000 tickets I will need to have. I was going to promote the site that day but I figure I'll skip it and wait for the Elmwood Art Festival [inlink]news,370[/inlink] where my hands won't be so greasy.

Anyone want to go along with us?

Buy Me A Drink Events Addition

I spent the day not planning for my trip or getting the car fixed but rather progrqamming the events calendar at the request of (e:keith). I hope that lots of events happen because of this as I had really intended to wait until I had time to develop the epeeps.net site.
image

I turned out better than I expected for an afternoon. If you'll have any feedback for the calendar system feel free to send me an IM.

I am going to go eat now. You can find me online via my sidekick if need something or have any questions about the event system. How about someone posts an event for tonight to celebrate its creation and buy me a drink.

On another note, I fixed the AIM stuff so maidencateyes can now be part of the game!
