Quantity Over Quality

July 20, 2009

I’m sure nobody has ever noticed this before, but depending on what size/box/bag of Cheez-Its you buy they often taste different between each other. To me the bigger the package the worse the actual crackers are inside. Now sometimes there are exceptions and I get a good big box of Cheez-Its, but the little bags always taste better to me. Maybe it’s just me and I eat way too many Cheez-Its.

Test it out though, if you want to. The quality of the cracker degrades as the packaging gets larger. So the preference of packaging I prefer is (listed best to worst quality)

  1. Bags
  2. Mini Box
  3. Regular Size Box
  4. Family Size Box
  5. 3lb Box (yes they make this)

I even made a handy chart for you. Feel free to print it out and take it with you so you know which size Cheez-It package to get the next time you go shopping for a snack.

My Bad

July 2, 2009

I think I may have just gotten some spyware on this computer at work. It was completely by accident, I swear! I was just reading The Pirate Bay blog talking about how the site was recently sold and will be turned into a legal service (like that’s gonna succeed – look at Napster). But anyway, as I was reading it Firefox started freaking out. It wouldn’t let me close that tab and the whole computer was going pretty slow. There was a buttload of comments on the post so I’m guessing somebody put spyware or adware or something in their comment. I would give you a link to it but then I would be putting you in the same pickle I’m in.

So I finally got the tab closed and the computer was slowly getting back to normal (as normal as it could get) and up popped the window. It was AdwarePro or something like that? I don’t remember the actual name, I just denied everything it asked me to do and ended the task as quickly as possible. It even tried to trick me. The first message that popped up asked me if I wanted to buy the full version, so I said no. Then there was a second dialog box asking if I was sure I wanted to not purchase the full version, so I had to say yes to that one. Sneaky, sneaky AdwarePro.

I haven’t seen any signs of it again so hopefully it won’t come back, but I highly doubt it’s that easy to get rid of. Looks like we will be reghosting this machine next week…


Nothin’

I have absolutely nothing to do at work right now, and I have absolutely nothing to write about.

Sorry :-/
