In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Bandwidth and Thievery

Bandwidth can be expensive. I know this because I've always paid for that I use. That's why I detest pop-ups, programs that decide to download crap I don't need, and the constant pestering of ads.

I'm sure an attorney would tell me there is something hidden in the fine print of some program I use that allows such things, but my answer to them is there are too many attorneys, and a good purge might lead to the elimination of such thievery.

    What do you call a hundred lawyers at the bottom of a pool?

    Again, these things flourish because people mistake legal for moral. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's moral. And vice versa.

    I use ad blocker to remove the ads and pop ups. Now I get the "You are using an ad blocker, we need the revenue to provide our (junk) services, to bring you better content"

    Ghostery works fine for me on Firefox.
