Daily wisdom from the pic room dork I'm feelin listenin to: |
Like the sporty new icons? I had a blast putting them in and moving them around......God I'm a geek! Anyhoo, all of them except the heart came from this girl's very cool web site, but naturally I can't remember where it was so I can't give her credit! She had a whole page full of little pics, free for the taking. The original link to her site came from blogger, so hopefully I'll find her soon and give her the props she deserves.
Sneakin Tip: If there's any chance of getting in hot water from files (pictures, videos) on your computer, it's best not to save them on it. There are lots of alternatives out there. Zip disks are good, also you can save stuff out on the Internet, a la Yahoo! briefcase, but a slow connection can make that tough. I guess burning CDs is an option, but you'd have to save the stuff up somewhere till you got a CD full. Put the files in an innocent sounding folder that's somewhere hard to get to if you must insist on keeping stuff on the hard drive. And remember, any files that you work with or download may show up on your Documents menu, so be sure and clear it like I told you back on Feb. 26th when you get done.
OK, I'm doin some major dickin around with the colors and links and stuff, sorry for the inconvenience. Rest assured that I will continue to maintain the high standards that you've come to expect from hard times.
Doesn't the lower case title look nicer? I managed to change it without trashing the whole page, which is what happened when I put the heart pic on here the other night. Geeze, what a pain!
If you'd like to see YOUR name in Hard Times, all you gotta do is give me some reason to put it there! Send me some sneakin or Netmeetin tips, send me a quote I can use telling me how the site changed your life, be creative! As always, women who send pictures with their e-mails get top priority! And no, I don't publish my pics on here, so I'm sure not gonna put anyone else's up here. Due to my rampant paranoia, I intend to keep this site R-rated for all to enjoy, not just the pervs. Us pervs have plenty of places to go for the other stuff.
Sneakin Tip: You can minimize everything on your desktop in a hurry by pressing the Windows key and the M key simultaneously. Of course, if you're like me and sit at 3 or 4 different keyboards during the day, this can be a tricky maneuver. That sneakin tip was courtesy of the sexy and talented Che'rie. Thanks, cutie!
TGIF!!! It has been one of those weird restless weeks where no matter what you do, you're bored, and life just kinda moves along at blah speed.
I'm writing this stuff sitting in line to get on Seesaw, which is basically a new version of what MPlayer had last summer, with more features and less server space. It is a voyeur's paradise if you have the time to waste in line and looking around once you're in. It's a pretty safe bet that it will go belly-up before summer, so try and check it out if you get a chance.
Sneakin Tip: DON'T SAVE PASSWORDS! Not on AOL, not on Yahoo, not on anything. Cause someday someone will sit down at your machine and sign into something as you and see somethin you didn't really want seen. Or maybe Johnny Punkass hacker wannabe will get ahold of your accounts, that's always a hoot. Saving passwords is lazy, and lazy leads to busted, every time.
Somebody was heckling me about the backyard swingset sex last night and I remembered that we actually broke the swing. Heh.
Have you noticed how the little demon at the bottom of the page keeps blinking? That's because he's alive....and he's watching you! (I think I need to go to bed now)
Sneakin Tip: Do all those little programs that start up automatically when you start the computer bug you? Wanna be back in control? Thanks to Seesaw I spent some time today relearning how to deactivate stuff that I don't want to autostart. The best thing to do if you're running Win98 is to Click on Start - Run, and type in msconfig. After you click on OK, a nice little window pops up with all your critical Windows files. Go to the Startup tab and uncheck all the pesky programs that are bugging you (can you say RealPlayer update?). Now you can start the program when YOU want to, not when they want it to!
Today's Netmeeting Tip: Once you've found that pesky conf.exe file (or downloaded the program from Microsoft) you'll go into a setup process. One of the things that it will ask for is your First and Last Name. DON'T PUT YOUR REAL NAME THERE! Whenever you're in a Netmeeting, the name that you put in will pop up on the other person's screen. If you've already put your name in, don't fret. Start up the program and go to Tools - Options from the pull-down menu. From there you can change your name to whatever you want! (For all you ladies out there, "Janet Reno" is a great one to use!)
I just learned a new term.....GLBTQ, which stands for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning. You can definitely put me in the questioning group, cause I ask lots of questions. Some of my favorite questions are: Are you horny? Are you nekkid? Did you get a cam yet? Can I see your boobies? Where's your hubby today? Did you like that one?
Spring is in the air, and that reminds me that it will soon be time for the second annual Springfest and Hate Drunk at the Hard household. Last year wasn't intended to be a Hate Drunk, it was a going away thing for a co-worker, but 90% of the people there hated their jobs and were ready to cut loose. What started out as cookin steaks in the backyard ended up with obscene gyratin, loud cussin, bottles breakin, CD stealin, passin out in the yard, and even some hot backyard swingset sex for yours truly (woohoo!). In other words, a good time was had by all, and we let off enough steam to survive 2000. So if you're feelin a little stir crazy, try to make it till March or so and then cut loose! That's what spring is for! Get you some nice red wine or a bottle of Jack and get yourself stupid! Nekkid in the backyard even! WOOHOO!
There's a Mail link at the bottom of the page, just in case you want to say hi, or ask me something, or say "geeze, Hard, this is one butt-ugly page you got here". Please be polite tho....otherwise I'll find you and replace all your mp3's with Barney songs. Don't say I didn't warn you.....
Netmeeting Tip: Wanna try Netmeeting, but not sure if you have it or not? Well, if you have Internet Explorer 5 or 5.5, chances are it's on your machine, even though you don't see it. Go to Start-Find-Files or Folders, and type in conf.exe in the Named box. Make sure it's set to look on your C: drive, and click on Find Now. If it finds it, just double-click on the name to launch the Netmeeting setup. Easy, huh? You'll be camming with Aunt Sadie in Oklahoma in no time!
Oh by the way, if you came here looking for pics, sorry. This is nothing but text, unless you count that little demon at the bottom of the page. If pics are what you seek, get back to Yahoo! If you want to read some stuff that I wrote, then feel free to hang out here for a bit. Lots more to come!
Today's Sneakin' Tip: By going to Start-Settings-Taskbar & Start Menu, then clicking on the Start Menu Programs tab and clicking on the Clear button under the Documents menu, you can remove all your recently visited files from the Documents menu. This is handy if you've been working on some things (pics maybe?) that you'd prefer someone else (spouse, parent, boss) didn't stumble across on the Documents menu. |
