Um.
Posted Aug 11, 2001
Okay. My DSL has been a bit slow lately, so when I saw a banner ad for InternetBOOST I clicked in it. It turned out that it wouldn't work for DSL, so i hit the back button to return to the website I had been at. This caused a popup ad for Bonzi Buddy (or however you capitalize it) to appear. When I closed it, this made yet another one pop up! (From what I understand, this shouldn't be possible, as there isn't a closing event that can be captured by Javascript.) After getting over that bit of frustration, I managed to finally get back to surfing the Net in peace. The next time I started my browser, though, my home page was set to the Bonzi Buddy website! Internet Explorer is supposed to always prompt before setting your homepage, so I am somewhat disturbed by this apparent security hole. And, I couldn't find a suitable email address on either the Microsoft website or the Bonzi Buddy one to send a complaint to.
Oh well, I guess that's what I get for using a Microsoft product.

So, don't click any InternetBOOST banner ads.

Hmm...

Am I becoming famous?
Or infamous?
Or am I just noticing that I'm being noticed?
Should I try some more technical stuff on h2g2?
Or refrain, so it doesn't get banned?
Should I stop talking to myself?
Or am I really talking to the world?

Just got back from a week-long family reunion, so that's why I haven't been around lately.
