[23:46:59] -ssblogbot@#scriptschool- Added comment C1.
[23:48:04] [@Forser] TDavid-LIVE : Microsoft has some examples in dotNET working against that.. like mutes the volume of the music if you go to the toliet or such

[23:53:04] [jvastine] Forser, we can always send you one
[23:53:40] [@Forser] jvastine : i will look around first in Sweden, see if i can get hold of it here
[23:54:31] [jvastine] if you defend yourself, you’ll have an idiot for a defender & a fool for a client
[23:54:56] [jvastine] it is possible to plant that on a hard drive
[23:55:38] [@Forser] jvastine : found it in sweden sweet
[23:55:41] [jvastine] queries point as to what the guy may be looking for or interested in
[23:55:58] [jvastine] cool Forser, how much?
[23:56:28] [@Forser] jvastine : around 25-30 dollars (more expensive then newegg.com sells it)..
[23:56:49] [Rowdy] back finally… sorry about the limited participation today.. had something come up that I had to take care of
[23:57:18] [TDavid-LIVE] I’m thinking google analytics is pretty nifty
[23:57:33] [jvastine] TD, it depends upon the number of searches & search terms in relation to the crime, but still should not hold too much weight
[23:58:04] [jvastine] yeah Forser, it is a tad more pricey
[23:58:29] [jvastine] wb Rowdy & no worries mon
[23:58:29] [@Forser] jvastine : oh well .. i will wait anyways, don’t have the cash for that little toy
[23:59:05] [jvastine] well Forser, get another coding job mate!

[00:05:33] [jvastine] ran a registry check on my 98 box & it returned 435 errors!
[00:05:53] [Rowdy] my xp pro is usually good to go and most reboots are solely for updates
[00:06:19] [@Forser] Only thing that turns my XP machine off is power cutouts and updates
[00:06:28] [jvastine] JohnnyRS, I find that too unless I start running multiple apps
[00:07:54] [JohnnyRS] me too. opera is cool.
[00:08:04] [Rowdy] I install very few things so that helps a lot I’m sure
[00:08:07] [@Forser] Been running Opera for a long time.. even before it was free
[00:08:23] [jvastine] indeed, I have used opera for years myself
[00:09:14] [jvastine] don’t you just hate ie-only sites?
