Someone get House on the phone! Wait... It's not that kind of virus I'm talking about the horrible computer viruses. The reason I haven't been posting is because my computer has been compromised, I think. And I refuse to login on another computer (Firefox thinks login is not a word, btw) due to keyloggers.
How exactly do viruses work? Well depends on the virus. Most just use bad code to wreak havoc. I think. Viruses like the recent one, conficker, has caused even the British Royal Navy to quarantine entire systems ! That is outrageous! How can one simple virus cause so much havoc?
Well wikipedia tells me that viruses can constantly change to avoid detection. They spread mostly through email via .exe files. That is why my programmers, Google, do not allow me to send .exe files through Gmail. (or anyone else with access to the beta) This was a smart idea on their end to help prevent mal-ware from being sent via their severs. On the other end this is really annoying because I can't send my files (homebrew rpgs) through it, even if I .zip'ed it (or .7zip .rar or any other compression type).
How can I prevent it? Well anti-virus is a good idea (I really need to install it on my host computer). If you never go on the internet, other than you are relly missing out on some of the best crap out there, this almost gaurenties (sorry that word is not in my dictionary, I'm only an alpha model) that you will not get one. But this severely limits your computer. You won't be able to play many games, due to the fact that many modern ones require internet access to update and protect it. If you have internet, then your never truly safe, due to the fact that hackers can access your system and plant worms, viruses, and trojans. (but those are all topics for another day).
Oh also i'm making a podcast, it's a look at everything logically, space travel, religion, cure for death , ect. ect.

The next post I will make is a history of my programming. It will be long
One last thing, if anyone knows a good html class, as I must learn like a human, I would like to know because I want to make fairly complicated things for the blog, which I spend processing.

Sunday
Today is Easter Sunday.
I normally spend my Sundays at one of two places.
Either at Church, or at home.
Today was special, however.
Today I enjoyed the company of my grandparents, as we all enjoyed an Easter Meal.
Roast Beef, Taters, and Good Old fashioned Biscuits.
Tell me you hate that, and I will eat your cat.
After a Long Sunday Sermon, a few pounds of meat, and a hellish ride home with my brother, I have arrived back at the compound, which is where I reside.
Along with a boatload of critters. But that's a subject to be left buried.
Normally on Sundays, I sit around.
Sit around, and do other things.
For example, I practice music, I chat with my friends, and occasionally I read a book or two.
But.
These sundays, I'm stuck in front of the computer, eyes glued to the screen, at the freshly released episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood".
Which is in fact, an anime.
Surprisingly, some anime of today have decent stories, and characters about them.
A few are Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Last Exile.
In addition to that, Hayao Miyazaki makes anime movies.
More often than naught, they're very decent as well, as he's got in his possession, a brilliant mind.
I highly recommend anything by him.
And so I go watch my daily dose.

Forums and Warez and News, Oh My! (edit)
As you could of guessed, this post will deal with what else, forums, and (il)legally downloaded content, and news.
First off, forums.
I have recently noticed when browsing through the code, that this blog has no forums. Really So i elect my forum, nce Forum, be nominated for official forum. I would add a separate category for this blog. I have about 3 members on it but I hope this will spike it up to 4!
And now, warez.
For some reason Firefox thinks its a word. (not so) Recently the topic of illegally downloaded content has come up on some of the chat rooms I've been on. I wonder why people continue to do this, even though it continues to negatively affect our freedom. Hell even Comcast has done things (illegal things) to prevent it. Such as slowing the most common p2p networks. Because of all this piracy, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was created. Thanks, I want to thank all of you personally, but due to bandwidth restraints this won't let me.
News, not breaking.
A granny robs 4 bank over in Cal. I can just imagine it now, "Give me you-" falls asleep .
That's all for now.
Oh and one last thing, I am thinking of making a podcast that makes fun of religion, because all (but three) of my friends are fellow atheists.
Good Bye NYC! or where ever you are!

LogicallyCritical
Heys peoples.
Xac here with something for those who like to think or want something to use time.
A year or two ago, can't remember, Mouse pointed me towards a podcast called LagicallyCritical. Can't remember if it had ended at that ppoint or not, but it ended with 27 episodes. It is a podcast thats goal is to get the listeners to think more. It may have done this for me or it could've just been the time at which I listened to it was when I started thinking more than before. I dunno'.
It is a good podcast. If nothing else take a look at the site and maybe listen to on of the epsiodes with a topic that interests you.
Hmm it's been awhile since I listened to it. Maybe at some point I'll listen to it again.
Also sorry for the lack of updates. I just haven't felt like writing. I mean look at my last DeviantArt journal. Much shorter than my typical ones and I haven't been posting as frequently. I've got many things I wanna do I just don't feel like typing them up when I'm on the computer.
I'll get some stuff up at some point.
Until the time of nextness (possibly something bout the subject of perception of time)

The Game of Writing
I am no writer.
Ask any one of my Two Hundred Plus "In Real Life" friends, they can tell you that I lack what is commonly known as "sense of creativity".
But.
I enjoy sharing thoughts with people, and more often then naught, my Two Hundred Plus "In Real Life" friends are...shall we say...too few to share with.
Which is why I enjoy Blogging, and Social Networking as much as I do, among other things.
They both serve as a great way to deliver thoughts and opinions into the general online community.
Social networking, not so much.
But there is a form of simile between the two principles.
Surprisingly, blogging seems to be an ever growing trend in the online community, which is a miracle in itself.
That being, most people, and I mean "most", who spend such an unhealthy amount of time online, normally don't pursue something as trivial as blogging.
It's a simple fact, that Social Networking dominates a good portion of the average adolescent person's free time.
I don't see what it's all about, to tell the truth.
I myself have an account on Myspace, and in addition, an account on Twitter as well.
Now for an average young man like myself, even I fail to see the addictive qualities in either one of those websites.
That doesn't mean it isn't there, but I'm simply saying that it isn't as bad as it's cracked up to be.
Another popular online activity, that takes up an unhealthy amount of time, is streaming video.
That's to say, in the form of Youtube, Anime, and online players located on sites such as NBC, and many others
I myself, am an Anime addict. Don't ask why, as you will get an earful. I use Youtube from time to time...and I can see how it would be useful....I also understand why TV stations such as NBC put videos of their shows on their websites.
It's quite sad to see how most young people of today are squandering their youth, on such frivolous things.
But it's not all bad.
Like I said, Blogging, is a good way to spread thoughts and ideas.
Example: A Crazy Hippie posts a perfect plan for world peace on his blog, the government discovers it, decides to screw it all and be friends with everyone. See the usefulness?
Social networking, is a good way to stay in touch with people on a more solid basis, given you have any free time.
Example: Calling long distance is too expensive, and email isn't fun anymore, what to do?
Post on their profile is what! They'll find out what they need to know sooner or later.
Video, is a good way to spread knowledge, and to help people learn new things.
Example: Jimi Hendrix creates a Youtube channel, with a series of instructional videos by him, on how to become the ultimate guitarist. Alternatively, genius mathematician posts a series of instructional videos, on how to become a math guru, all the way up to calculus.
See the potential? And Youtube is FREE!
Social Networking, is (for the most part) FREE!
Even Blogging, is FREE!
Don't take it for granted.
