the overheating again

(read this too), and yes, this too, but what we came here to ramble on about is the laptop because the laptop is definitely overheating as i sit here without the fan and kaspersky is driving with first a download of databases and now a rootkit scan i did not schedule or authorize or ask for and i wish the dang kaspersky total security 2015 software had an "ask me" mode, that is, "do not start a scan without asking" since it does not have a "do not start a scan while the user is typing on the keyboard or otherwise using the computer the user bought and paid for and would like to use without slow down or interruption" mode... yeah, kaspersky is pissing me off again and if it overheats the laptop i just may give it up on the next licensing renewal cycle... it's been stuck on 45% scan for ten minutes and the harddrive is spinning madly and the laptop is just getting hotter and hotter and if i try to do anything beyond typing into this text box it slows to a crawl (and has frozen in the past) so why am i connected to a public wi-fi and even trying to do anything other than type words into this box... oh, because i would like to use my computer tonight, of course, how rude of me...

how sarcastic of me too... and how intrusively rude of kaspersky... so i disconnected... since kaspersky took over the laptop, i decided to disconnect from the public network and suddenly the root scane jumped from 45% to 65% in less than fifteen seconds... the laptop is still way too hot... time for chocolate...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
