Check It Out!

Although I'm feeling a bit ill, last night and this morning I managed to get my new business web site to some sort of completion. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hopefully, with this new direction in which I am taking my business, it will be more profitable. That's the idea anyway. I feel it looks much more professional than the LogosByG site. Better company/domain name, too.

Now, time to rest for a while.

Nice Save, Greg!

Today has been frustrating and scary, but it seems I saved the day. BearShare, a program I have used and loved for at least a year now, appears to have caused major problems with my computer. Okay, so it wasn't actually BearShare causing the problems; it was the programs the ad-supported version of BearShare forces you to install along with it. Namely, Weathercast and Save/SaveNow. AVOID THESE PROGRAMS AT ALL COSTS!!! Plus, there appeared to be a program called IncrediFinds that may or may not have been installed by BearShare. This one completely took over control of my browser, effectively keeping me from using the Internet. I tried various things, including deleting the programs by hand, which only seemed to make matters worse. So after undeleting them, I went through the Windows uninstall programs feature and uninstalled BearShare and any programs I knew/suspected to be associated with it. Well, guess what? My computer is working fine now! Just in case, I ran a complete virus scan, and my computer appears to be clean.

That's it! No more peer-to-peer for me. It has caused too many problems, no matter what p2p program I use. (I've tried BearShare, Kazaa, and LimeWire.) It's just not worth it.
