It’s Baaaack

April 23, 2005 by jameyt

Good computer tech, who I’ll now be able to call “my computer guy” got me back up and running today. Paul Miller of Now Technical Solutions made my computer a priority, found the worm, exterminated it, and got my computer back in my hands. Same day service at a reasonable price.

I’m running Firefox now and hope to get used to the interface quickly. I don’t think the worm came through IE, but rather that darn Kazzaa Lite program I stupidly downloaded a few weeks ago. Even as computer literate as I consider myself, I’m ashamed to admit I sometimes just hit the next button instead of reading the tab which tells me what I’m agreeing to when downloading a program.

I will not be using WinMX or Kazzaa Lite ever again. iTunes and even Wal-Mart offers music downloads for just a buck a file.

I went by the house last night to take a few pictures and see how much has been done on it. I was walking between the trees trying to figure out if we could wrap the driveway around the front and between the trees so we can have a circular drive. I wasn’t really looking where I was walking, looking over my shoulder to picture the driveway. I looked down just in time to see my foot about to come down on a snake.

I hate snakes. This one was so close to my foot I had to jerk it back. I don’t know that I’ve ever been jarred by anything like this snake jarred me. I froze. I probably even shook, thinking for sure I was about to be bitten.

It looked to be about 4 feet long and had the color of a copperhead except for a couple of bright yellow streaks in it’s markings. After I shook for a second or two I noticed it didn’t have a head.

I suppose some of the workers spotted it and beat the thing to death and chopped off it’s head.

It spooked me so much I carefully walked back to my truck and drove home. No pictures this time. I went back today to take a snapshot, but couldn’t bring myself to walk up the drive again.
Funny, I’m a grown man but I’ll probably be spooked by that snake for years after we move into the house. Go ahead, make fun of me. I really don’t care.
