Another Adobe Update, this is really getting crazy

I think I posted less than two weeks ago about an update now today, another one. Adobe is now worse than Microsoft and their constant barrage of updates. I've got two updates in progress at the moment with my HPUPDATER program. One is a hotifx for a firewire problem. I don't even have firewire capability on this machine. The other is the HP Photosmart Essential program update. Something about a crash fix for photo uploads. I never do any photo uploads using HP's products either.
It's getting to be that I forget what it is I logged onto the computer for after sitting and waiting and watching all these updates install. Then, there's a reboot that just makes me go nuts. The sun has set and I missed another sunset because of this crap.
Maybe Unix is the answer but then there's a learning curve with that too. I don't have the kind of time I used to have. I think I'll stop this post and just wait for this last update to finish. I can't believe it's still going on.

Adobe Flash Update, it never stops, just like Microsoft's Updates

I guess it's just a part of routine for pc users such as myself. You logon to your desktop and wham, up pops an update. You can close the window by clicking on 'Later' or whatever but you know that eventually you need to do this to stay protected. Today I get an update but what bothers me about this one today is the update is dated for Septemeber 20th, 2010. Today is October 10, 2010. I usually just go ahead and let the updates install as they don't take very long to do and I'd rather get it over with rather than worry about my computer security. It's always best to go direct to the website to look for updates. You could get one of these update notifications from a hacker I suppose. I've got a great antivirus package installed so I don't worry about that very much. I like to challenge AVG Internet Security besides and it hasn't failed me yet.
So, here's the link to the info on this patch and I'll include a screenshot pic of the update also. I'll be tracking these updates and how often they occur here on my blog.

I'm I having trouble trying to get this pic to be centered, having clicked on X-large, this is what I get. Sorry. Bugs in the blog I suppose, no time to report or complain about it to the Google folks today though.

If you're interested in programming Flash, here is a link to Amazon books.

I loved the comic books when I was a kid. So, I loved the movies as well. I may have to buy this blu-ray disc and watch it again. What a great movie to keep around the house for when family and the kids come over to visit.


Click on the link at the left and browse, you'll love it. If you've never been on Amazon or haven't been in awhile, I can tell you that it is where I have been coming to a lot this year for my online buying needs. I think you can find whatever you want there. I was able to find a nice used copy of an old book that I had when I was a young boy. That was my first experience with Amazon. So, what are you wating for, go shop!

Philanthropy Project

This is something I've been thinking about a lot this year. Not that I'm rich and have money to give away. It's that I've always thought why don't the rich give more money away. You see blight and stuff that you wish someone with money would just go in and fix up. Brad Pitt is doing something in Louisiana. Halle Berry is doing something for domestic violence. Good people are doing good things with their money, not to mention their influence.
Take a look at this web page I found on AOL a moment ago. It may brighten your day. It's something new that AOL has started.

www.aol.com/philanthropy.

It's all about making money isn't it?

How do you make money on the internet? This question is on a lot of people's minds these days. You've seen the get rich quick emails come through your inbox I'm sure. Well minded friends sending them to you too. They don't take the time to examine what they send you in hopes that you will, and then tell them how to do it, right? Hah. I've seen enough of them and I've done my own research. There really is no way to get rich quick on the internet unless you have some unique product that everyone wants or thinks they have to have right now.
eBay? Yeah, what are you going to sell? Junk and clutter that you no longer want? I don't think so. Okay, so how is it done. I'm doing it right now with this blog. You see the image and the link on the left don't you. You decide you like what you see and you go and click on it and take a closer look. You like it more once you investigate the product further. You add it to your shopping cart, then checkout and pay. Thank you very much, buyer. I've just made a percentage or commission on that sale. It isn't really a lot though but if you get enough of these in three months, it adds up.
Here's another way to get free money. In my previous post about the AOL update, somehow there was enough people that found that post and clicked through some link here that I made $4.98 in four days. Hmmm, that's a dollar a day. Now that motivates me. Fact is, I'm motivated right now to tell you about this so we can get rich together. Think about this for a moment. If you would click on a link or two on some webpages that you like each day you are helping someone make some money. It's called pay-per-click. Google adwords or Google Advertising. That's where I first learned alot about advertising and the pay-per-click thing on the net. I just started reading through Google's web pages. It's all right there.
This blog has made it easy for me to add any Amazon product links with images to my posts. There is a widget that you install on your blog that makes it easy to do. I found it by accident by looking around this blog a few weeks ago. This is what I've been waiting for. I didn't want to have to program or code a web page to put links in. I've been there and done that. It's not fun and it's not as easy as this method.
So, what I'm saying is, everybody should be in sales on the net. Get going and let's make some money. Oh, click on some links before you leave for me, will ya'? LOL

Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest GenerationKindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest Generation

Kindle Reader. I've been thinking about this more since this model came out. I haven't been doing much reading except on the internet of late. Probably like a lot of people. But, sometimes there may be times when we just want to sit or lie down or relax someplace and absorb ourselves into some interesting or entertaining reading. I'm wondering now where I might see and touch one of these before I buy. Maybe at my local Barnes & Noble store? Maybe Wal-Mart? Leave me a comment if you know where. Also, tell me your experience if you've been using the Kindle Reader. What features would you like to see in the future, your pros and cons and anything else you'd like to share with us here. Okay, time to read...

Another Adobe Update, 10.1 this time

Supposed to make flash so much faster. Yeah, right.
I didn't even see any Terms of the license agreement.
At least this time I didn't see them want to install any toolbars.
