~ Buffer Overflow ~

 

WTF!?!  I have no idea what that is or what it means.  Several times over the past few days as I was in google reader and playing catch up on blogs McAfee displayed a warning that it blocked a 'buffer overflow'. 

I'd click ok and then I'd freeze up and have to knock myself off the net.  I tried to research it and amongst the computer mumbo jumbo it stated it 'could' be harmful.  I found nothing that really explained what it was or how to stop it.  ::heavy sigh::  I wish I was more technical savy.  So I thought it was google reader.  I stopped using that for my updates and went on my merry way.  The warnings stopped and I thought I had it in the bag.  Wrong!  I watched more closely the blogs I was reading when it happened and it's been narrowed down to those that have the ads on them.  I believe the user or blog owner may get $ for any clicks but I haven't a clue.  I've never looked into those money making things.  I just felt we all got pissed at AOL for littering our blogs with ads and the $ can't be worth the appearance. My opinion only and not meant to insult those that may have them.   So I'm going to avoid those blogs, for a bit anyway.  I've not had an issue any place else but I want to see if I'm correct.

In the meantime does anyone know what the hell it means or why?  Can I stop it?  What causes it?  Have the problem if they have McAfee?  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

My last day of disability.  I'm back to work tomorrow.  Seems like I've lost so much time, or maybe I mean missed so much time.  Now that I feel good and the weather has started to turn nice I wouldn't mind being off and getting paid.  That isn't going to happen so I will suck it up and get back to the real world!! 

Since it is my last day I ran and got some flowers and visited the cemetary.  I've been wanting to go and thank my sister for being my angel and helping me fight through all this.  I know in my heart she is the one that sent me back.  I have no doubt!  The flowers were definitely 'doctored' to have more color, but I couldn't resist.  So bright and cheerful!  I didn't leave the entire bunch because there isn't a holder.  I stuck several in the divisions around the stones and brought the rest home.  I have them on my kitchen table and they light up the room.  I hope she likes them as much as I do. 

Soooooooooooo back to work tomorrow.  How the hell am I going to keep up in blogger and facebook now?   A few less comments from me I suppose.  LOL  Or maybe work won't kick my ass and I won't miss a beat.  LOL Time will tell.  

Hope everyone had a great weekend and good start to the week.  How long 'til Friday? 

Hugs
