Evening Reading
by Maarten Goldstein, Apr 26, 2001 5:59pm PDTEvening Reading once again surprises everyone by showing up on time. This looks doubtful at times especially when one certain webmaster waits for another certain webmaster to show up. In this case the other webmaster did show up but said he was "hungry" and needed to "eat". The weakling! ER is much stronger.
- Boobies with guns?. Thanks Mike Boyle. - Malaysian traffic police insists their measurement of someone driving 480mph is accurate. A little corruption maybe huh. Thanks Shaun.Lastly, in these times of lower profits and layoffs Intel is offering the un-signing bonus. this is the secret text print $username; ?>!
- No more lies @$(#, long-term relationships are based on deception! - Those silly Canadians, stealing doormats. - But of course I can't mention Canadians without making fun of Americans. Thanks Chris Johnson. - Nothing like police officers getting breast implants with the public health system paying for it. - And how will you be paying your library fine today?

I was going through files to clean out some space on my system, and I
found an app called webhancer. I looked in the folder and there was a
license agreement I don't ever remember accepting saying it will report
usage statistics.
I didn't see it in add/remove programs ( I saw it there
later, just missed seeing it the first time. ) It was installed on the
system root, under program files. ( I allways install apps into another
partition. ) I tried to delete it but it showed some .dll's
in use I never heard of. ( several, all starting with wb )
After I couldn't delete it, I booted with a 98 floppy that had deltree added
to it and killed the folder. ( I'm running win2k on fat32 )
I didn't get any errors on boot, but I lost ALL network connectivity!!!
I couldn't see anything in my workgroup, no internet, and I couldn't
release and renew with ipconfig!!!
After searching with google, I found this POS software supposedly binds itself
to your winsock!!!
I tried removing and reinstalling all protocols and clients on my nic,
nothing! I tried removing the nic completely and reinstalling, nothing!
I removed tcp/ip, reinstalled sp1 for win2k, added tcp/ip, then installed
sp1 again, still nothing!!!
All of my dhcp settings, gateway, ect were like they always were!!!
I found some sites talking about this problem, and how to remove it,
( if haven't fuxored it up already, like me )
but I was able to finally fix it this way:
find file on whinstaller.exe and run it to reinstall the POS!
it bitched about a file it couldn't find, but gave me an option to
continue when I hit cancel. It finished and said it was complete.
I then ran the uninstall, by doing start, run
d:\winnt\whinstaller.exe /uninstall whagent
( should be the same thing from add/remove programs if it's there )
this doesn't take everything out though! Some of it's other .dll's are
left running, and rebooting doesn't free them so you can delete.
I ran the latest version of ad-aware and it seems to have cleaned it after
running ad-aware ( from lavasoft ) cleaning, rebooting, and rerunning again.
I hope someone knows another way of removal and shares it.
( not trying to pimp the ad removal software )
I was looking for some mp3 streaming software the other day and downloaded
a bunch of crappy "freeware" programs. ( all this crap just because I wanted
to stream on a lan, not inet with shoutcast. )
I guess I got it from one of those. (btw, the freeware version of winAce has it
also. )
please excuse the long post, but I want to keep others from losing their
connection.

Those of you hangin' around this morning probably saw my posts about goin' to chill in a quiet, private area and getting my sleep caught up today in my car (since I didn't get any sleep last night).
Well, I pack a pillow in my backpack and head out the door. I get in my car, and drive about a mile away from the house and I drive up to this abandoned house and see this green explorer parked there....so I sorta freak out and just park across the street in this field area. I didn't know who that was in the explorer...I thought maybe they were a land owner or something....
So I recline my seat back and pull out my pillow, and suddenly I hear a knock on the back of my car. I think to myself "Well, this guy probably owns the land and I'm on his property or something.", I get up and look around and see a Police Badge in my face through my window.
...
Yeah. So I get out and he searches me and my car and asks me some questions. I answered'em all honestly, cuz I know better than trying to fabricate a story to a cop on the fly. He calls another cop over that was in the area and they tried to decide between what he called a "Truant" and an "FI". They said since school hadn't officially started yet (It was 4 minutes before the bell rang), they gave me an "FI", which one of'em later told me was just an information sheet saying I was in the area if anything happens so I'll be the first to contact. Asked me where I was about to start work. Home phone etc.
They told me to get to school, and they'd call it later to see if I went.
So here I am at school. One hour of sleep. It's "Senior Skip Day" so hardly anyone's here. I feel like complete crap. And I'm posting through Netscape 4 because that's the only browser they have installed on here.
>:(
So I've had a rough morning I guess you could say.

So I'm still here.
It's really hard to read a half-way deep book on 1 hour of sleep. Chrichton's Jurassic Park in case you were wondering. I end up re-reading sentences a few times to figure out what's going on. :(

Like it says above. What you need to do is click that option on and off a couple times. For some reason it has a habit of sticking ON even though it is not checked. If that doesnt work you can type "setinfo lefthand 0" in your console.

I'm thinkin' about driving to someplace abandoned and quiet for the day until 3:45, then going back home, saying I was at school. Any ideas on a place I could park my car and sleep for 6 or 7 hours?
