Cluey, do you live off Concord, just north of Walmart? I think I passed you in my POS rental as I was driving Saturday afternoon. Could have sworn I saw "Clueman" on the license.

yup, got mine yesterday and today.

Oddly enough, I don't know if it did anything for my coffee... I don't feel any more "awake" than usual...

ESD, I've changed my mind about Steve Thayer's Wheat Field and Wolf Pass books. I'm rereading them and though they're not my cup of tea, not nearly as much as his previous books, but I think you'd enjoy them. The deputy sheriff in the book is a former army sharpshooter, and there is a lot of gun talk in both books.

One thing that is odd though. He lifts complete passages from Wheat Field and uses them in Wolf Pass. He does this when giving background about certain places and events, but I think he could have changed the words at least a little. He does this over and over.

I clicked on the directions link to find out where their 15,000 square foot heated garage is, and it gives me a map of Matty B's. Anyone know where their garage is? I assume they are saying that's where the St. Paddy's day party is?? Thanks.

Question for the group:

A buddy of mine isn't getting any at home (been married for several years.) He naturally turned to porno. Last night, the wife found his online stash, and is furious. Aren't there some sort of automatic deletion programs that one can get to hide porn visiting? any suggestions?

Women: Please no smartass "Talk to her" responses, thanks!

Just clear the cache after every jerk-surf

Consider it as part of the clean-up :smile:

Yeah, normally does that. Apparently she used some sort of program to sniff out websites visited.

he got caught...

well...he can keep on looking now...

how bad can it be...

I'm sure it was an "ad-ware" or spyware scan...

he could have just said it was on a pop up...he didn't think anything of it at the time.....

I don't get the impression there was just one, Kitch. Knowing the guy, there were probably dozens.

Not only do you need to clean out cache - you need actually to review history and dump everything then also delete out the temp internet file on the hard drive - it gets into everything...

It really depends on how snoopy his wife is.

it's hard to get around someone snoopy. If she was "really" snoopy, she'd have a hardware key capture device on the keyboard, which is much more difficult to work around, save removing the device, which usually I'd be able to tell if it was removed.

If it's "that" important to him to surf annoymously, and she doesn't have keyboard/mouse monitoring hardware/software, I would suggest an external hard drive with Pen Drive Linux.

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

It installs a virtual linux machine on your PC with a web browser in it. Anything you surf on there isn't recorded on the host PC's system (as long as you remember to shut down the virtual machine and take the hard drive with you). The only caveat would be if she's sniffing data packets, she might see where the information is coming from. Easy thing for me to do, maybe not so for the average user.

As you can see, it's hard to suggest things without knowing how far someone will go to find out where someone is looking on the internet.

how far someone will go to find out where someone is looking on the internet

His 'friend' doesn't know how far she'll go since they're not even married yet.

Oh wait, they've been married a long time right? Heh :litesmile: :wink:

at least his "friend" didn't get caught the old fashion way :wink: :lipsealed:

Friend's been married 7 years. I know enough to keep my porn off-site under Cluey's bed, where I need it the most.

I know this is the usual time, but here's another sign of spring:

The Mesabi Miner is scheduled to leave the Twin Ports of Duluth/Superior on Saturday or Sunday with a load of coal from Midwest Energy Resources, company president Fred Shusterich said. The ship will likely head to Marquette, Mich.

Would love to be in Duluth to get sparklies when the bridge and ship sound their horns!!!

This is a video with the horns sounding, but it looks like the Indiana something-or-other, not the Mesabi Miner:

Announcing: Cooler Crew get-together

Sunday, March 16

5:30 PM

Carbone's in West St. Paul

Wentworth and Livingston

I'll get there early and "reserve" a big table.

Please post or PM if you plan to be there, so I have some idea of headcount, and can hold enough tables so we can hopefully all sit together!

Allison Wonderland

I don't think the solution ultimately is going to be how to hide it better. At this point trust is obviously gone and if she can't find it, she's just going to think she's not looking hard enough. And she would probably be right. If it were me, I'd be upset that she was being so snoopy in the first place. I'd also be upset about being denied any sexual outlet whatsoever. From her point of view, maybe she's mad that he is seeking other outlets instead of going to her about the problem (don't know if he has or not). Honestly, if they can't talk about it and work it out, I don't really see any solution other than getting divorced or resigning themselves to life unhappily ever after. Hiding the porn better is just going to delay and grow the problem.

I would tend to agree with Allison.

There's also a false assumption that anything you do on the net can be hidden. There's a lot of ways to track things down online, and you can get caught if someone tries hard enough to catch you.

she has no right to do that when she is the one NOT giving it up! period! trust is gone - its a no win situation.

Cool, kat, got you down as a maybe.

I don't need an exact headcount, just a ballpark, so if someone shows up last minute, no big deal.
