I recently ran an ad in Walnut High School student newspaper, the Hoofprint. It promotes my site, intelliot.com. If you’ve come here thanks to that ad, welcome! I hope you stick around and become a regular reader. You can bookmark my blog or add it to your RSS reader or news aggregator. In any case, leave a comment, even if just to say hi.

Since I’m an AdSense publisher, Google sent me an awesome little Christmas gift. This is an assumption, however, because they didn’t include a card or note. But it’s addressed to my name, so it’s surely for me. The box says: “From your friends at Google”.
I went to my friend Steven’s house and fixed his computer. The problem was that a virus infected wininet.dll, and thus Norton Antivirus deleted it. Windows can’t work without it. Only the Task Manager would open, whether you tried a regular startup or Safe Mode. So I did some File -> Run’s and poked around to see what I could do. Eventually we found that Firefox worked, along with networking and the DSL Internet connection, so I downloaded the file. But that introduced further complications: I couldn’t extract the file because (1) the Windows extraction tool wasn’t working with wininet.dll missing; and (2) no other (un)zip software was installed.
My dad had some old software lying around: Astound, a presentation software that was big in 1994 and ‘95. It came on floppy disks or a CD-ROM. And it came in a big box, plastic-wrapped, and a thick cardboard box inside.
