What Are You Doing Today ?

Now, that I've tested my interwebby connection gonna head outside to enjoy the sunshine with Hello Kitty. Later, shall see if things are still working with the wacky wide world of webs....
 

GRRRRR! Just happened to look out the window to my right and spotted three deer sneaking up on the house. Threw open the window and yelled at 'em. Bye-bye you flea-bitten flower eaters! Enjoying them from a distance is much better. What the heck did they eat before we came along with our delicious flowers? Go back to eating that, Bambi! Guess it's time to whip out the Liquid Fence but the wind is up and no fun spaying that while dancing around trying to avoid getting showered. If I remember (and I'd better 'cause they'll be back) will try to get it done this evening.

i love NY, but it's just too expensive to live there anymore. Taxes are out of sight because most manufacturing has left the state. We are a resident of Florida and don't miss the snow so I vote for Florida.

I originally left New York after I got married because my wife and I agreed that it would be too expensive to raise kids there.

As well, I was just getting burned out from the place - I'd been there 28 years by then, give or take a few in other states. Everything was going up in price, the crime rate was rising and people were in general just becoming jerks.

I even dread the day I move to Florida and have to go to NYC to catch the train.
 
Grandaughter(15) got pizz at me today cause I would not drive her to her boyfriends house until his Mom comes home. His Mom has the same rules as me and she would kill me if I drove her over there.
 
Another beautiful day. Can hear waves crashing down the road but ain't goin' near it as the many, many years of enjoying it alone have made me oversensitive to anyone being around. In fact, when living at The Point, I was famous for hanging on the cliff with the boyz and not going out because it was crowded (five people . . .). One early morning, a few of us were standing in the dark, checking the waves when a car drove by and Mitch, General's girlfriend, said, "Well, now That Guy's not going out!" Good laughs all around.

So, today will probably be a repeat of yesterday. After logging off here, will head outside to join Hello Kitty in the glorious sunshine.
 
Go DJ, go!

Another glorious day here; sun shining; been in the garden, starting to tidy up, and the trees are coming out.
 
This afternoon I am going to see my grandson (8) and his class put on a little Tudor play. After that he is coming back home with me where I've promised I'll play pirates with him. :xbone:
 
Ooh good grief,Spring vacation next week. Why do they call it a vacation when the kids are driving their caretakers nuts by simply saying "IM BORED"
 
Just send 'em to the closest Spring Break beach party - they can keep themselves busy with knitting and religious discussions. ;)

I'm spending a large part of today researching WordPress security plug-ins for a gig I just got. Amazing how many plug-ins are devoted just to keeping the bad guys from getting into your website ...

There is no end,IMO,no way to keep those guys off people websites.
Its the people themselves that invite these guys into their homes via computer.

True, but there's something to be said for taking at least a little responsibility for protecting what's yours, whether we're talking about homes or websites.

Look at all the big companies that get hacked - even when they think they're safe, with all their experts working on security protocols, they still get their databases ripped-off or get a DDOS (Dedicated Denial Of Service) attack. Silk Road, the site that sold drugs and firearms, thought they were impervious because they used TOR, a supposedly hack-proof system of anonymity.

They found out differently when the Feds shut them down and started arresting a bunch of people.

It's always a game of cops and robbers in the end - when the cops get new technology to protect people, the robbers figure out a new way around it. It's always been like that and probably always will be.
