2001oct22. I’ve been installing a few things on my PC. Typically, I can go months without installing something. I’m not one of those pumped-up geeks who has to have the latest, the greatest. I want a stable system, nothing more. Somewhere in the middle of all this installing one of the programs put an icon on my desktop and in my system menu pointing to the “FREE BonziBUDDY” website, consisting of a small monkey. Apparently it’s some sort of web helper application. BonziBUDDY talks to you or something. It must be like that Microsoft paper clip, but for old people.
You know what? I’ve got a hard enough time juggling all of this junk, keeping it all in the air at the same time without some scumbagware putting ads on my desktop. So I hunted down BonziBUDDY and I killed him, the end.
In other news, boingboing is still down. I’m going to have start on the methadone pretty soon.
