Plug it in… if you dare

With computer viruses not so uncommon, it’d make you wonder what kind of person would trustingly open a file from a stranger without at least considering the risks. Some of the spam e-mails you get can be quite tricky, as they sometimes include some form of your name or tempting subject lines. But better to be safe than sorry, and with a click of mouse I quickly delete the tons of junk mail that clutter my inbox daily. More on that classic mistake another time.

So this next story is ODD in why someone would want to even create a file-sharing network in a public place, especially one in New York. Maybe the idea could work in a city with a name like Podunk — the ghost towns in Oklahoma or Nevada, not the actual one in New York — if at all.

Artist creates off-the-wall idea
news:lite

An artist has created a file-sharing network with a difference — it consists of USB sticks stuck into walls around New York.

Aram Bartholl says his “Dead Drops” project allows people to share whatever files they want and discover what other people have uploaded.

At present there are five USB flash drives — each containing a document explaining the project — that have been embedded into cracks in walls across the city, though more are planned.

The idea is that people simply walk up to them with their laptop and plug it in… meaning there’s now yet another way to pick up a dodgy virus on the streets of New York.

Bartholl said “Dead Drops” is an anonymous, offline, peer-to-peer file-sharing network in a public space.

“I am ‘injecting’ USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessible to anybody in public space.

“You are invited to go to these places to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your favorite files and data.”

—–

Do you have any regrettable or ODD experiences to share regarding a computer virus? Do you limit the type of files you open just to play it safe?

But speaking of flash drives, I rarely save anything to them. Don’t know why I choose to clutter my desktop instead with every file I open and save…

    I wouldn’t trust those. Anyone can put a virus in them. If I kept all my files on the computer it would be full. I have auxiliary drives for different things.

    I use flash drives for portable storage. That way I can move files from one computer to the next. AND I do not have to worry about if the one on that computer is updated or not.

  • By M, November 15, 2010 @ 12:37 pm

  • By sally, November 15, 2010 @ 11:34 pm

    My computer use is mostly social (FB) and creative. I do graphics, as opposed to business. I don’t do any banking or other financial stuff online.

    My use of flashdrives is to categorize projects and ideas.

    is QB’s “good news” the fact that she confirmed the “how to keep a bunch of baboozes in suspense” theory?

    My guess is that she’s gonna post a new blog before 100 post. hahaha

  • By matt, November 22, 2010 @ 9:33 am

    what’s the plural of “babooze”? “baboozes”? “buh-bye”? iirc, from booga-booga, the plural for “lolo” is “lolo” (“bucks for lolo”), so is the plural of “babooze” “babooze”?

  • By Kage, November 22, 2010 @ 10:59 am

    @matt – so I guess I am just a babooze? Or, one babooze? :) We used to say “bucks for lolos” but I figure it must be wrong. Like with you have multiple lei. It is not leis.

    ow, my head hurts now.

  • By Kage, November 22, 2010 @ 11:00 am

    My guess for the good news is that Queenie is getting a promotion after only being in her new job for months.

    That should have read,”Like when you have multiple lei.”

  • By Shauna, November 22, 2010 @ 11:51 am

    OK, time to share my good news!! Though one bright BEE already guessed it!

    I was officially promoted today! I got to add “senior” to my title, not the the kind of senior that makes bamboohouse808 lose his mind and get all forgetful and stuff! ;) So I now have the fourth lowest-ranking title in the office! (Fifth lowest if you count the intern!) :lol: Onward and upward!

  • By matt, November 22, 2010 @ 11:52 am

    @Kage: now that I think of it, it could have been “loloS” and we heard it wrong. i think i gotta check when i go home this xmas (mom and dad have it on vinyl…they only let me listen to “Kanakula”, small kid time, but, once I figured out how to use the turntable…)

    OH I remember what I did Friday. Went Sears cause had sale on one Panasonic LCD 42″ TV with FREE Panasonic Blue Ray DVD player with Internet connection for $599.

    I go the the store and ask the sales person about the sale. She look at me puzzled “What sale?”
    The one in yesterday’s paper.
    “Oh that sale. Wait, I just came on the floor and neva see the ads yet”
    (me thinking WHAT??????????)
    She grab one ad and no can find the sale.
    NO NO was one nuddah ad. Had 2 in da papah. I like the Samsung LED one but too expansive, so I just like the cheap one. I no need anything fancy.
    “I found it. Wait, I come back” (off she go to the back room. She comes back and tells me) “Oh this sale is the one we no more. Stay on order and going come next month”
    8O 8O 8O OK but I still like em. You get substitute?
    “Not the bundle sale”
    OK I take em. You get the Blue Ray?
    “Yeah. I go ring you up. You like da warranty?”
    Let me think about it. When da TV going come?
    “About Dec 5 or 13″
    OK I can wait.
    “But you can take home da Blue ray but you can only look at the box cause you no mo da tv”
    HA HA HA you funny. So what? I gotta go iin da back to pick em up?
    “Yeah, scan this one, not da TV”
    Oh man, I gotta drive to the other side of the store. I went park out here.
    “Oh wait, I think I get one on the shelf. Here take this one.

    OK thanks. I go put da box by my old tv and make believe it’s working.

    hee hee, I knew da girl so was all guud.

    What, QB…we not your new first ohana?

    hope you all are grinding like there’s no tomorrow. I went on an anti turkey kick today. had lunch and dinner at my house. southern style lunch with smoke bbq pork chops, cornbread, bbq beans, scalloped potatoes and a warm brussel sprout salad (with bacon). getting ready for a rib-eye roast for dinner. as a nod to turkey day I made some smoked bbq turkey tails to snack on.
