Got Anything Random To Say

Crying is one way to release emotion. I don't find it to do very much for the anxiety though because it doesn't release tension or get rid of the adrenaline. Exercise can do that, since I have nothing to run from or fight off, but I think there must be some sort of best practice to use up adrenaline quickly. I say this because exercise doesn't always do this for me, so I must be doing something right, only some of the time.

A martial arts instructor once told me that fighters can actually cry after an adrenaline rush and drop. There must be some biology to the crying, as I'm sure the fighters would not welcome this reaction.

Getting angry? Well, it changes my focus at least, and it can lead to action, whereas depression can lead to stagnation or withdrawal into myself.

DCJ, that sucks. I'm surprised you're not mostly in bed then. Usually when I'm that sick, I'm either sleeping, or half asleep, all day, or I'm forcing myself to work or otherwise interact with the world for an hour or two at a time, or less.

Kuraudo, the character flaws sound legit to me, though I couldn't guess whether or not they fit your story.

I am suffering on my sofa, sitting in front of my PC doesn't appeal to me and I don't like to associate bed with anything but sleep but I do sometimes anyway when I feel down.

I am thinking about maybe taking a shower, I already had one but I felt better after it and now I am feeling bad again so why not shower again lol

Y'know, I wonder if anybody at school rerembers me. I dropped out in the sixth grade, and if none of them flunked or skipped a grade, they would be in high school by now...

So I fixed my hacking problem that I mentioned earlier by blocking a bunch of domains and getting a new IP. If anyone is having the same problem, I can send anyone my blacklist however, since I use very little of the internet and because there is so much hacking going on in the world I am considering a white list. That is to say that I would allow steam and google and wrong planet and pretty much nothing else. The downside to this approach is I couldn't see picture from off the site.

I am pretty pissed to be honest with you over this hacking thing, my mom seems to think I am crazy and am having some kind of delusion. I shouldn't mention such things in passing. Whatever it is seems to just be targeting IPs from this area. Still if anyone sees weird traffic let me know, I can fix it either by telling you to blacklist from your host file or you router. If you do the host file then it will still effect other computers on the network.

Why would someone want to screw up somebody elses computer, is it just for fun?

Realistically its probably ad related judging from the URLs but it is a bit odd to me in a few ways but I am not really concerned about it.

I am still thinking about the whitelist idea, it would pose a problem for some online gaming but its doable.

Um, question: What's a whitelist?

A whitelist is a group of domains safe confirmed IP addresses and websites which you consider to be trusted.

Does your mom know anything about computers, DCJ? Anyway, maybe if you explained it to her as weird, ad-related traffic? I can see some of it because I've been redirected to media.net. How do I see my version of the code you pasted? Did you use Get for that? Could I get the list of connections on Windows or Mac, or would I need a program to actually log traffic?

The blacklist is a good idea, since the nonsense is coming from the same domains. I can't do a blacklist on mobile Safari but maybe if I switch browsers. Anyhow, when the computer shows you unwanted domains, that's not a fever-induced delusion. Would your mother believe me? LOL.

When I'm really sick, I'm sometimes too dizzy to take a shower or otherwise stand for very long. Glad it works for you. Maybe the shower clears out your sinuses a bit.

Wireshark was how I got that log, its a little geeky, its a packet sniffer basically.

It is for Windows but I don't know that it is for you, its a little technical and I would be lying if I told you I know what every little thing meant on there. But if you know the destination then you can pretty much use it and get a wealth of information about income and outbound traffic.

But yeah I am not feeling well but I think I'll be okay. I can relate to not wanting to stand and being dizzy.

Very very fevery, sweating bad and the temp doesn't see to be all that bad in here.

As for my mom being technical, I could tell her she is in the matrix when she is surfing the net and she would probably believe it. I remember as a teen having a 45 minute long conversation trying to explain what "my computer" was and how it was different from her desktop. Jokes aside, she has learn more then I thought she would but I am still having to setup Dosbox for old Dos games for her and I don't think she really even knows why you can't just click on Dos executables in Windows 7.

I have known more technically inapt people then her though, I got a call from somewhere in the hood from an elderly lady a few weeks back. I told her I would be right over and come to find out, her computer was unplugged. She offered me money actually but I can't take it cause I think she was senile so when she offered me money, I saw drugs on one side of my brain and burning in hell in the other lol

I know nothing.

Oh OK yeah, that's why I asked if I'd need a program to log the traffic. There's got to be a quicker way than Wireshark to see the connections prompted by visiting a certain website though. I used to use a much simpler program to do it but different time, different OSes. If I had access to router logs, I'd do that.

About the elderly lady, that was kind of you to help her and not take the money.

Um assuming your on Windows, use TCPView, doesn't require an install and is pretty simple in design.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/tcpview.aspx

Just unzip and run Tcpview.exe.

I think that'll give your wanting but if not I have a few others ideas.

Oh yay, the website's working!

Hey any of you bored people interested in roleplay?
