Computer Job

I am working on a computer job right now. Geez, I hate these spyware and virus cleanups. They are such a pain because they take so long. Especially on computers that have all kinds of stuff installed like games, productivity packs, and so on. So far, over 1 million files scanned and 14 viruses found. I may end up having to reinstall windows, which means I will lose another couple hours out of my life waiting for that.

I have stated over and over again, do NOT use Limewire. They are the devil. Sure you get free downloads. They just happen to include spyware and viruses. The best way to prevent problems is to not download the crap in the first place.

They have another computer that does not access the web. It can see another computer on the same network segment. The other computer can access the web. The one in question cannot find the web. Haven't a clue what's wrong with it.

Blogger blocks excessive posting

A while ago, I tried uploading a blog post via Android App. The upload kept failing. Not to be deterred, I deleted the app and reinstalled, to find no better success. I thought that perhaps I could email the post to Blogger. That did not work either. The email bounced back with the following: Technical details of permanent failure: You have exceeded the the allowable number of posts without solving a captcha. This happened because I imported quite a few blog posts from another blog I discontinued just yesterday. It has been less than 24 hours since the import. It makes sense. I'm rather certain the captcha speedbump is also why the mobile app refused to publish my posts. The problem can be circumvented if you post directly on the Blogger site and solve the captcha. This problem will likely resolve in the next few hours and all will be right with the universe once more.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...
