Another Jave update, Java 6, update 23

Good grief, Chalie Brown, it's been about a month since I've last blogged. Okay, I've had some things I wanted to blog but never got around to it. I've been looking over some random blogs the other day and I'd like to start adding some pictures. I have a new DSLR camera that the wife bought me for Christmas. It was one that I had been admiring for close to a year but was trying hard to justify buying yet another camera. I'm going to put up a shelve somewhere one day and display some of the relics of the past I now have but never use.
Back to the Java update. I need to get it done and over with and watch out for any slick stuff they want to install from another company that they are selling space and advertising to. Carbonite Backup is one such product and I don't need it. Okay, here goes.
Of course the first screen they want to offer OpenOffice but I don't need it either.
I've tried it, it's okay but I have M/S Office 2007, thank you very much.
This update is taking longer than previous ones. Uh, oh, 'restart my browser to finish installation'.
Okay, have to go now. But first, a little advertising from Amazon. Have to make my money too you know.
That worked well. Now I know how to add several Amazon links next to each other. Happy Shopping!

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.

Another update, AOL now.

IMPORTANT: AOL Software Update 4517.12.4 fixes security vulnerabilities and technical issues of the AOL software that you use. Please install this FREE update as soon as you are notified of it.


The AOL Software Update mechanism eliminates the need to manually download software updates (patches). Whenever there is a need to update the AOL software, the patch is downloaded in the background, thereby minimizing the impact of the download on your online experience. Once the download is complete, you will be prompted to install the software update.
========================================================================
Now AOL is getting in the habit it looks like. It's been a while now since Adobe has updated anything, or, have they been doing it behind my back. Like my time isn't interrupted enough. How 'bout yours?
I just previewed this post and this blogger is putting a time stamp of 4:46 AM but, it's 7:46 AM here in Florida, EST. I should not expect perfection I guess. It's just not the norm anymore.

Jave 6 Update 11, another update, geesh!

Don't ya' hate it? Every time I sit down to the computer I have an update waiting. Java and Adobe Acrobat Reader are the worst. What is it with this companys anyway, why all the updates? I never see any release notes with them telling me what has been updated. All I can think of is they are cramming more and more code into your system that will eventually tie up enough resources that you will get frustrated and want to through your computer out the window. Balance your budget now. Get ready for another year of unforeseen expenses. Is it time to buy another and more faster computer? I've been looking but I don't want to get tangled up in having to support Windows Vista either. I hear it's a sham. That's all I need is to waste more time on this damn computer. Yeah, get a Mac, right? I've got one and the browser, Safari sucks. Time to get something done now..
