Keystroke recorders

Somehow this get on my system

I noticed my computer having all sorts of problems, and always thinking the cntl key was down. I tried to do a virus scan, used adaware, lost my internet connection and networking for about an hour, etc. FInally I decided to try spybot and found that somehow there was a keylogger by winwhatwhere.com on my system. I feel so totally violated. If would personally like to see the developers of that stabbed to death with spoons.

As a matter of fact, I don't think there is a heinous enough death not only for them but whoever brought it to my system. The question is how did it get there. And furthermore, what information it took with it. Probably my bank passwords. What is so crazy is that my laptop never leaves my side, so we can rule out any physical entry. And i don't use explorer, so we can rule that out to. I am also always behind at least two firewalls. In this case three. The main router, the wireless router, and the windows firewall. So maybe they arn't really getting any data.

Is WinWhatWhere or TrueActive Monitor on my computer?

The chances of our software being installed on your personal system without your knowledge are very remote.

WinWhatWhere/TAM cannot simply appear on a computer without being installed. It needs to be installed by having direct access to the machine. It cannot be installed from the Internet or from an email without your active participation. It does not tag along with other downloads. TrueActive as a company has NEVER installed our software where it wasn't requested. We never will.

Many detector programs will report the presence of our software when, in fact, it is not there. They base their determination on the presence of certain files. However, the files they use to indicate the presence of our software are also used by many other applications - not just ours. Some of these programs even make the claim that they've uninstalled our software, taking credit for something that we know is not possible to do without our own administration program.

We share your concern and annoyance with the "false positive" reports from these detector programs. They are causing unnecessary worry for many computer users.

I find that hard to believe, what use would it be if people had to allow it to install!

Art, Links, and poetry

I was searching through the links to the site again and I found one from ice9 poetry

The

is in the link section. Seems like maybe it's someone from the site or someone I know but I can't place it. Then I was looking at their open mic night which is at Arte Brutale on Main St and I also haven't heard of that. So I searched it on google and came up with this person and her music

which is quite good.

Does anyone know more info about this space or these people?

Radio Shack

This is what $38.00 looks like when you convert it into resistors, capacitors, phototransisters, LEDs, speakers, wire, and perfboard.

My new shoes

I decided it was necessary to leave class early as I am so sick. I am going to stop at radioshack to buy my potentiometer and a capacitor.

I overheard people in class talking about this supercool guy, turns out it was jesse. They were amazed at how he etched his web address on his circuit board. The whole circuit thing is crazy, sems like a lot of toxic waste. Today the teacher said not to inhale the puffs of lead smoke coming out of our work, but we wern't really taking any safety precautions.

Having a cold

I am so sick but I have to go to school today which sucks even more. Everyone around me is bound to get sick but I really can't miss class as we have a test on thursday. Ironically, my first quiz in grad school after 3 years.

Then tonight I have to go teach at 6. 3 hours of talking with a sore throat seems like a bad idea.

New addition

I was working on today's new addition to the site, which I will be realeasing shortly when I got this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM

I have a feeling that the error was not intended for an english speaker. after looking it up on google with the word hebrew (GOOGLE - T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM hebrew) I found the answer.

Sickness

I am sick. I have a sore throat. It is what I get for being one of those stupid people that pretend that 40 degrees in Buffalo means it is warm out. I went out with (e:lilho) and decided to eat a banana split in the park with no jacket on.

Luckily, she came by this morning and made breakfast. Nick you are very lucky.
