| For manga loversJust in case anyone else reads manga on onemanga.com, don't visit the site. I got infected at some point with some "vundo" trojan, and I suspect I got it from the site (which is pretty embarrassing for me and it cause me some headaches). At some point they actually had a post that said there was some ad that was causing some trojan to be installed and that they would get the offending ad removed once they figured out what it was. They didn't say what the trojan was or provide much more info. Nor did they provide a later update. I guess they were too worried about their website traffic to tell people the seriousness of this. Nor have they actually addressed the problem. My antivirus program this time picked up on some javascript executed by some ad, and the site the javascript was downloaded from (roazoa.net) turned up some forum posts related to vundo. So do not visit onemanga.com!! They are very, very negligent. | | |

| There's a moderately upscale restaurant, Bistro Liaison, in Berkeley which is serving an "economic stimulus meal" for $28. It's of a 4 course prix fixe menu with a glass of wine which is a pretty good deal for a place like this. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. Today, the menu was
1) Soppressatta (french salami) with marinated olives
2) Salad Mescal (or a cold beet soup)
3) Pork tenderloin nuggets with some kind of sauce
4) Cream puffs with ice cream and chocolate sauce
Choice of a glass of Bourdeaux or some white wine.
The wine was a good table wine. I don't think there was anything super special about it, but it was reasonably complex but easy to drink. The items were meh for the most part. The pork was very tender, but if one were paranoid about food safety, one might complain that it was undercooked. I didn't mind that though. What I didn't like was that, there was a smokiness to it that was a little too pungent (not a nice smooth hickory smoke but something a little bitter), that plus, it would've been nice to have a little more sauce. The ice cream in the cream puff was very good, but the cream puff itself didn't add anything. It just felt like a dense dough. Also, there was too much chocolate sauce. It didn't have good balance. The item I liked the most was the salami with olives, but I only liked one kind of olive. Well, at least it was much, much more filling than I expected it to be. Oh well, should've gone to la rose with my restaurant.com gc to try the duck confit and be a little hungry after the meal.  | | |
| Bugger. I forgot my password. It's not a new password, and it's one I use quite frequently. Every once in a while I forget something that I really should know. Usually it's my phone number. Once I forgot my zip code (which meant I couldn't get gas until George reminded me what it was ) At least I remember the root password on one machine, so I can access some stuff. Hopefully, I'll remember later. hmmm
edit: eh. turns out i didn't forget my password. They just disabled all password to force ppl to use new ones. They just didn't notify ppl beforehand about it... | | |
