For the last three days I have been trying to access my own site at home. For the last three days I have been unable to access my site. As you may imagine, this was becoming more stressful by the minute, to a point where last night I was going to make my PC a boat anchor. Cooler heads prevailed, and with a little help from
Tris and
Shylah, I was able to keep from going blogger on everyone in the neighborhood.
I was being protected by my own protection so to speak. I have a firewall called
Zone Alarm Pro. This firewall is to protect me from the nasty demons out in the internet that want to invade the safety of the confines of my PC. This was working so well, it was locking me out of my own site! It was like my own version of HAL!!!
This morning I was able to bypass the flux capacitor with the turbo coil and the dylithium crystals, and kill the monster we call Zone Alarm. It died a slow and painless death as the last little bit of computer cancer left the last wire from my home. The sky has now opened up and the air is fresh. I can post and read on the internet again.
Of course now I have my ass hanging out in the breeze and it like having unprotected sex! I want to have the safety of Zone Alarm back but it coupled with my other technology does not act nice! What am I to do? This job calls for a super hero! Captain Genuine?
You had better get your ass covered!lol
And what's with the adverts *in the middle* of your posts now!!! Gah!
Put up a note on your screen that says:
"Anyone who viruses, spams, scams or hacks this site will be drawn and quartered, and then killed. I am a geek and I can find out where you live. Plus, I am thinking of stomping your aorta flat. No, flatter than that."
I thought flying unprotected was the idea.... 20 "good flights" and then...
Oh wait, what are we talking about here....
I haven't tried it myself ... but I hear that Kerio's free firewall is supposed to be good. And Jim, could you sit down, pls. I don't want to see your butt. ;-).
