Friday Funny: Poor Sheep
This week's Friday Funny comes from deep within my e-mail archives. Actually, I just found it saved on an old external Hard drive when I was freeing up some space.

Poor Sheep. … [Read more...]
Remote Shutdown, Oh how I love thee…

Well, we were looking at adding a camera to the cars so you could see their speed from the car's … [Read more...]
Email Scam – Trying another route
I got another Scam attempt in the e-mail tonight and thought I would share. I may have to make a whole new section of the site for these pitiful attempts. I guess it must sucker somebody, else they wouldn't continue the effort. Maybe since I've ignored all of their other attempts, they decided they needed to switch directions. Received: from cantv.net (rs20s9.datacenter.cha.cantv.net [200.109.127.76]) by rs26s12.datacenter.cha.cantv.net (8.14.3/8.14.3/3.0) with ESMTP id n5F10Xop008234; Sun, … [Read more...]
