Sony Rootkit Mess: Shame on You Sony!

I can not belive that a company like Sony is doing this.

They are resusing themself to be the low level scum spyware/hackers that they are fighting.

They have a rootkit installer on all they new Sony music CDs that hides their files in the vitim's computer.

This make the ability for any hacker or malicious person to create a malicious program to hide themself on your computer and cause huge damage.

It also acts as a typical spyware by recording your music activities and sending the information to Sony.

Shame on Sony!!!!

Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol.

FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec

FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo) just like you would an MP3 file.

Hurricane Wilma: Update!

Originally uploaded by cand3la.

I will like to apologize for my delay in posting. As you all might know I have been busy with clean up from Hurricane Wilma.

I'll like to report that my electricity came back on last night. I did not have structural damage to my home. All I got from Wilma was two day with no electricity and phone. Also I got a broken water pipe which was fixed the next morning. I even got my cable at the same time as I got my electricity.

It was a little scary while we were under the Wilma but everything was ok right after. I don’t remember ever seen such shiny stars as the night before, maybe because the whole city was in the darkness due to the lack of electricity. It was beautiful!

One funny thing did happen to me while sitting at my house with no electricity; I was on my laptop’s battery writing my book when my computer said that I was connected to a low linksys network. I try opening my browser and there I was, online. I have no idea who could it be since there was absolutely no electricity. It was kind of freaky!
I open my AIM and started talking my favorite author Meghan Marco (Click here to view IM Conversation). Been online did not last but It was fun while it lasted.

I will like to thank all of my friends for your concern emails. My family and I are ok.

Thanks...

My Self Esteem

If you are one of the few lucky people that know me personally, then you'll know that I normally have a low sefl esteem. I have done one of the most stupid things that I have ever know any one to do. I put a pictuce of me in Hot or Not dot com.

Is this wrong?

Maybe not, maybe so but I know one thing, if I get a low number it definetely not help my self esteem. Which I know that is what i am going to end up with.

I'm sure I am not the only one thinking this way. Have ever woke up and felt this way?

Do you feel this way because of people around you or is it because of you?

I am not talking about the people that have a mental condition, I am talking about normal people.

Have you seen those people that are always smiling and have that appearance that they are please with themself?

I wonder if these type of people have this issues.

Is it this way when you reach a certain age?

Why do you have to be Rude?

Isn’t psychologically conceivable that if someone is nice to you then you have a desire to be nice to them?

Why are some people the opposite?

It just gets on my last nerve that someone could be so mean to you after you were nice to them of did them a favor.

Is it possible that these people have the right to bitch after seen your reaction to this behavior?

All of the sudden you no longer are the nice person but the bad one, only because you have the courage to defend yourself.

Do we have the right to defend ourselves?

I will no longer put up with these rude people. I take a stand and tell then that I will continue to be the nicest person that I can be to as many people as I can unless they are rude to me.

I am a strong believer that a smile and/or a good deed is contagious and I will continue to do such things in hopes that many people will learn from this.

But I will no longer put up with rudeness and I will defend myself.

News from Cand3lasville

I'm sorry that I have not posted as frequently as I have in the past. I am in between my new motorcycle and my movie. Which I have to say it will be out soon.

I know the trailer said September 1st, 2005 but it might be a little later than that date. We are filming the final scenes. The cool thing is that we are filming and editing at almost the same time so it would not take long. I personally can not wait for the movie to be out. It is looking good on the cutting room so far. Without spoiling the movie too much I will say is that it will be like watching an old Chinese movie with the sound just a little skew from the mouth movements. It will also have a little anime-feel to it, so if you are an anime fan like me then you would like this film.

I am also reading the old book "Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" and re-reading "Field Guide to the Apocalypse" which I have to say, have me hook. I don't know how many people can do this but I find it very strange that I am able to read multiple books. Also, if I happen to like a particular book or series of book then I would read them multiple times. I hope this doesn't makes me weird.

Oh well, I'm really enjoying these books so far. I think my next books will be the new Harry Potter book and Prey.

Well, this is my report from Cand3lasville and I’ll try to keep you posted sooner.

As soon as I finish my movie, I will be posting more frequent.

I Need You!

Dedicated to Tara Owen.

Tara, as you wake in the morning and open your beautiful eyes, the heavens that look at you can not help but smile. It smiles with such a beautiful sunset upon you that the birds feel its joy and start their serenade.

The sun can not wait to caress your delicate face. To give you the warmth that only the joy from a lover can bring you.

As you stand up from bed, the bed sheets caress your entire body but do not want to let go. They hold-on to what ever part of your body that can hold-on to, as long and as hard as they can. This tends to explain why it is so hard for you to get up from bed.

You body is so intoxicatingly addictive that the water in the shower is expecting your presence so it too can have its share of your essence. It yearns to run thru your skin, from head to toe.

As you get out for the day, the wind touches your head as it runs thru your beautiful long hair. And it carries your aroma thru the wind so the whole creation can bare witness of your beautify.

And at the end of the day, when you laid down to sleep, the stars of the night shine on your face. So even at night when most things are dark, you face will be illuminated for the world to see.

So as you can see, I am not one to be blame if all I want to do is be with you, because if the big creation itself with all it possesses simply can not live without your presence, as strong as it is. I am but a spec in this galactic scenario; and in comparison with creation,

I am just a simple man!
