Insane Random Ramblings

But I have absolutely no idea what it was. I mean I totally forgot what I was looking for in a mere matter of minutes. I had closed my internet browser and was about to power down my computer when I remembered that I wanted to look for something. So I clicked to reopen my browser and waited forever for the internet to reload. The page finally loaded and I went to my handy search engine…..and drew a blank. I could have wanted to look at the barcode scanner for the new air conditioner I want to buy. Or I could have just wanted to check my bank balance. One thing is for sure, I have no idea what exactly it was that I wanted to do.

I feel kinda crazy because it was 3 days ago and I still haven’t the foggiest what it was I wanted to look for. I guess it will come to me eventually.

I had my sound on yesterday while I was surfing because I was listening to music. As I went to certain websites, I noticed that they had sound. Since I usually have my speakers on mute, I thought it was funny hearing all of the noises. Mostly I heard a buzzing sound like when you get the wrong answer on the Family Feud. I also heard a lot of clicking as pages loaded. That sound was pretty annoying though. I’m sure if I had gone looking for Acid cigars I would have heard the crackling sounds of smoke or even the sound of someone puffing on a cigar. There were a few other sounds that I heard but I can’t remember them all.

I figure I’ll turn the sound on every once in a while to get some entertainment as I’m playing around on different websites.

My boss has put the entire office on a internet ban. They are looking at a few people very closely, especially me. Right now they’re lurking about trying to see what I’m doing. I also think they have a few of my coworkers spying on us. It’s so ridiculous though. If I’m on my lunch or caught up on my work then what’s the problem?

I could see if I wasn’t doing my work or making too many mistakes because I was more concerned with the internet, but that’s not the case. This place is beyond juvenile.

From the spam comments I mean. I thought it was just backlinks to their sites, which can be very important if you’re trying to make money. Those backlinks can increase the visibility of your site and also raise the page rank. The rank of your site determines how much people are willing to pay you for those links. If you need to sell anti wrinkle cream, shoes or furniture, you would pay more for a site that highly ranked and even more for a site that is relevant to yours.

Otherwise I don’t see what they get out of spamming others. Unless they just a kick out of annoying other people.

It’s almost funny because I really almost let one of them get to me. The comment said something like my opinion was wrong and I didn’t know what I was talking about. When I first read the comment I got aggitated. Then I looked to see what post it was on and whether or not the comment was relevant. It wasn’t. They commented on a really old post about me mailing a bill late. Since the comment was geared towards quick trim users, it wasn’t even remotely related to my post. I just deleted it and kept moving.

It’s really funny how some of the spam comments almost get through. I just have to keep watching them and make sure I only approve real comments. No free back links for you Mr. Spammer Guy.

There are days like today when I really don’t have anything to say. I mean I do but I can’t always put it into words. That’s why I generally stockpile at least 3 or 4 posts for emergencies. That way all I have to do is edit the post to make it current and hit publish. I can write about anything from tv stands to Tiger Woods and his latest drama. But today I’ve hit a wall.

I should be back to normal tomorrow. I guess all of those days off last week knocked me off of my game.

I wanted to post more pictures in celebration of the Yankees win but the one I did post didn’t come out right. They’re too long and too wide. I’ve never really had any luck with posting pictures to my blog. I’ve tried several times and I almost always mess up. I can find a life insurance lead or any other information that I need online but when I need to post pictures I have trouble.

I need to start networking with more bloggers to find out where I’m going wrong.

Not by more blogging though. I have several and it’s hard keeping up with all of them. What I am thinking of doing is joining either Facebook and/or Twitter. I do have a Twitter account but I haven’t used it except once. I’m still not sure exactly how it works. I haven’t joined Facebook but everyone swears by it.

I think I’m just using this as an excuse to get a smart phone with internet access. It still should be fun though since I like being on the internet anyway.

I can’t stand them. They just pop-up whenever they want to. I don’t do anything special to trigger them. I know that I probably downloaded some software of something that makes them appear but I can’t find the code to get rid of it.

If I can’t buy a new computer soon, I’ll reformat this one to get rid of everything. It’s bad enough this thing runs super slow, now I have to contend with this craziness. I guess that’s what I get for just randomly downloading stuff and not really understanding what it is. You best believe I’ve learned my lesson from that.

I was able to access the internet at work. There are a bunch of sites that I’m unable to get to like MySpace, FaceBook and Ebay. I was able to get regular sites including blogs. I came back to work today and everything is blocked. I can only get news sites now. I need something to read during lunch.

I wonder if it’s a corporate block or if someone is turning in sites individually?
