The Jaded Tech

If any of you clicked on this post simply because of the heading, then congrats….you are a nice and prime candidate for spam and/or a virus or two like the iloveyou virus simply because I love stupid people….they fuel my blog. Maybe I’ll look into that…..

So here is is yet another reply to some dum-ass spam email I got recently:

Why is it that people seem to feel the need to forward such crap? Even worse, why do they not even bother to check to see if it is real? What is it that makes their lives so boring that they feel the need to fill others up with ‘this is true because I saw it on the internet’ emails.

Do I really have to start banning people from sending me emails? I am fortunate enough to have two levels of spam protection (one through my web hoster and another through GMail(speaking of, use it, love it, worship it, make it your God!). Every day I get a report of SPAM messages from my web hoster. Normally I get emails from Vince on a regular basis but this one got in the report. Why? because the contents of this email is well known to be spam. Anyone here knows how to use Google….then freaking use it.

Simply put the subject line of any email into Google and you’ll get your answers.

I put in :

Fwd: Fw: PLEEEEEEASE REEEEEAD! IT WAS ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA

and got 165 hits all babbling about this piece of shit spam that’s been floating around for freaking years.

Learn about snopes.com! Search there, find your answers, use proper ‘nettiquette when sending out emails please.

Speaking of….learn BCC. That way I don’t have to deal with more spam reports because my email address got forwarded to some dumb-ass who couldn’t be bothered to clean up his fucking infected windows systems. If you don’t know what BCC is, get your ass over to Google and search!

If any one of you forwards this email on, then you are just as dumb.

You are all lucky I’m in a good mood today. To see my bad moods, check out http://www.jadedtech.com. I’ve been around, time to let it all out.

I’m getting pretty damned tired that every, single message from a new ‘person who followed me’ is a Twitter expert. They are a god-damned dime-a-dozen.

Here is a typical “Look at me, I’m an expert” message I get:

“Want to know how to get a huge following on Twitter and make residual monthly income at the same time?” (plus some shortened url).

It’s getting ridiculous. I’m willing to bet that Twitter has more Twitter experts than actual users!

I have a friend who recently complained about her being everyone’s ‘dumping ground for their problems’. She has the same problem….everything thinks that she has the ultimate answer for their particular need or issues. They completely gloss over the recent issues of her own she’s been dealing with and decided they were going to be nothing but insanely selfish to make themselves feel better.

I have officially labelled such people as Twits. Oddly enough, it matches up nicely for the twits that ‘tweet’ me asking if I want more traffic? Nope, I get enough traffic from people asking me if I want more traffic, thank you very much! I don’t need MORE of those people asking if I want MORE of those people. I would have to shoot someone and soon in that scenario!

So, if you are one of those ’self-proclaimed’ Twitter ‘expert’ get a grip…..noone wants to hear from you! Noone wants your ‘more traffic’ tips because EVERYONE else is asking the same damned thing. These guys are like the worst type of bad-MLM people. You know the type that scam you for money but you actually nothing in return but the ability to scam more people for money. (Don’t confuse this with legitimate MLM guys who actually have products…..).

A final thought to those ‘experts, and in keeping with the whole Twitter theme…”I wish you could do like the birds do……that is fluck off”

Anyone who drives (and PAYS ATTENTION) can tell you all kinds of stories. I’m one of those drives who pay pretty damn close attention to my car, my surroundings and most importantly, other cars. I have avoided so many accidents because I knew what my car was capable and of understand how non-capable the clues moron behind was. Say some car slams on his brakes in front of you. You know you have at least an extra 20ft after your car stops but the guy behind you is RIGHT on your ass. So your average driver will just slam on her brakes thus causing an accident because the guy behind her rams her ass…..not only that, this chick, would normally have stopped, now slides into the car in front of her who flies into the intersection and gets t-boned by traffic going the other way. If only she paid more attention and not panic and simply just took up 15 more feet of that extra stopping distance and buddy behind her would have not hit her. I have done this exact same move and prevented such horrible disasters like the one described. It is simply amazing and the fact that they will give anyone who can mechanically operate a vehicle a license is just freaky. In fact, you’d think that the Insurance companies encourage it because they make a killing on payments. Regardless, the point is that I simply pay attention to what I am doing and do my due diligence when a problem arises.

So this client says he can’t see the products he purchased, and then scampers off and whines to the sales guy. The sales guy, being the pussy that most of them are, caves in and without checking, whines to the licensing department. We look at the account and guess what…they’re there. You’d think that the sales guy would have did his job and checked….it’s amazing how someone can sell technology and still don’t know shit. Actually, after being in this industry I am absolutely amazed that it works at all. Seriously, you think you just hear about the odd stupid user…..what will really freak you out is that same stupid user is an IT manager at some major company that is responsible for some life-altering information that if left in the wrong hands, would ruin you forever.
It’s no wonder that 5% of the popular controls the other 95% of the world.
