School is back in !!!!!!!!

Kids are now back to school. I was looking forward to it SO much. I forgot one little thing. It isn't a big thing to most. But it is to me. I need to wake up earlier now. Again, I am sure that most do this already but I SLEEP in the wee early hours of the morning. I might go to bed at 11 or even 3 AM but I don't SLEEP SLEEP until 4 or 5AM. Wife, she SLEEPS the second she hits the pillow. But she stirs around 4 to 5 AM. It is not fun to get up for me....
Speaking of school back in. My cam traffic will drop like a stone now. Not that it was ever great. But now that both kids are in school. And now that BOTH kids are in school full time now, not much will be seen on these cams from 7:40 to 3:15PM or so. We will ALL be gone. So just to let you know if you drop in once in a while, we still live here!

And if you see me stumblin' around in the AM, half dressed, hair everywhere, looking pissed, SORRY.....

Nothing much to report...But will anyway.

Little slow around the home front, and crazy at work.But we wont talk about sewage backup right now....
Have cooked out about 15 times in the last 20 days. LOVE it. Will continue with pork tenderloins Tuesday.
Been painting the third floor this past weekend. We will be moving the 10 year old up to this new bedroom next weekend or so. I have been looking out the windows a good bit and wondering if it is time for two or three new cameras..? Wouldn't be a great view for you all, but great from the security standpoint. Well, one could give a great birds eye view of the pool and back yard. God knows I have the cameras sitting around.. Just need to look into a computer...Just what this house needs.........
Kids start school VERY SOON!!!!!! woohoo.....
Thought I might have more to say tonight, but guess not.....
Later,

Another pet lost..

We lost a pet this week. Sally McWhiskers was one of the kids pet rats.
For those of you who haven't had rats as pets, I don't want to hear it. They are good pets, and no different then any other cage pet. I deleted one comment from the guest book already. I guess this person saw what was going on in the house from the cameras, and left a message. Now, I believe it was a lack of English, but it didn't come out right. And since My 10 year old reads all of this, it needed to be deleted. Free speech doesn't work here... But I still believe the person just "wrote something" he or she didn't understand.
Anyway, the kids are crushed, as they have been before, and will be again. That is the thing about pets, and it is heart breaking to see your kids hurt. We have a cat not doing well also, and when the time comes, I WILL BE CRUSHED. It is hard being around these animals and loving them, and then they are gone......

Kids are starting school soon. Life, and times will change alot around our house.
We will see how things go!
Later, Bks

Road trip...Well, not yet, but soon.

Still tyin' to get the last few things hammered out for the trip to Asheville NC.
It is coming up in October. We were down that way last year. Beautiful country. Great beers to be had. All you need to do is get passed the hippies. They are everywhere. On the streets. Inside all the stores, etc. Nothing like placing an order for pizza and your waitress has dreads. And the cook has dreads, and half the people in the place has dreads..... And I don't care, you want to save the world, but do you need to farkin' SMELL to save the world? Do you hate soap because the MAN made it? Give me a break....
But like I said. Beautiful country. Smell or not...
I will try my best to set up a camera from North Carolina. If I have no view out of a window, I guess I will send video from the hotel room. And post lots of pictures I guess!
Cause it is purty!







Smell or not......................

By the way........

I am still looking for beers from around the world! But no one has sent me any yet!

I am the GRILL MASTER!!!!

LOL
Ok, the people that come here know I like to cook out. I fire up the grill this time of the year 3 times or more a week. Nothing makes me happier then when the grill is hot, I have a spatula in one hand, and a beer in the other. I love working in the kitchen also. But the kids(know this) so they have started coming in while I am tryin' to cook. It is not so fun doing something you love and the noise starts. And it is like the people in this world who hates cats. The cats seem to know this, so they come to them. Wont leave them alone. Now, I love cats. Love them far more then dogs. I just can't say that out loud since I own a CAT AND DOG Hospital. I can't say out loud that cats rule and dogs SUCK...... LOL.
Now one of my heroes on the net, we will call him ERNIE, loves dogs and hates cats. I even know it is not cool that a man to love cats, but I do. You put down food, the wife cleans the litter box. (old agreement when she was pregnant), and they come to you when they want love. I wont say what MY dogs do to make me ,,,um, not like dogs so much, but just wanted to give you a little back story.....Anyway, the kids seem to know when I am getting into my happy place. So they,, um,,attack. If they wanted to learn that would be different, but they just want to make noise and get in my way. Don't touch the stove. Stay away from that!!! You know......
It is funny. I got into my local Beer brewing club to learn how to make better beer. The club gets together once a month to try beer, and cook food. Lots of these meetings are beer food matches. I have "WON" many if not most of these events because of my foods. I make great beer. But I can cook far better I guess. I just need to work harder on the beer I guess.
Sorry, I have lost my train(hehe) of thought. I guess I will blame that on my lack of beer on tap, and the amount of Mead that I have put down my gullet. I might not make the best beer. I might not make the best Mead, but let me tell ya. The Mead is strong..... And I have 35 gallons in the basement. Some of it is 3 years old or better.
Again, sorry, what was I talking about?
Oh, I like to grill....
Till later,
Brian


Still not sure what I was writing this about.... But HEY, I did post today!

I like cheese.

The cook out with the neighbors went well. They have three kids, one of which still has that new baby smell. Well, until he did a little toss-up on me.Two or three toss-ups to tell the truth. Got the wife a few times also. The last one being a little impressive. Kid is cute as hell. All three of the kids are cute. I just thank god that we will never do it again. It is nice to see a nice little baby, hold it, and then hand it back. But once your manly little friends have met the knife.........You don't need to worry about little ones ever again. But that is a story for some other day.
It was still hard to watch someone else grill.. But that is OK. I mother came in from out of town today so I will fire up the grill (like I need a reason) at noon on Sunday. Going to have hamburgers,cheesy mett's, and the basic fixin's to go with it.
The more I think about this blog stuff, the more I wish I could write. I know very few people read this, and I know few come for the cameras. BUT I wish I could right about something to keep you coming back. With my spelling, grammer,(see) structure, etc. I find my own blog hard to read.... But I just pound away at the keyboard and click post. I never see it again. So I am sorry. If you force yourself to read this, I just want you to know I will try a little harder from here on out. I still wont read it! Or even check spelling. But I will try to write. And I will try to stop the bitchin so much.......
On that note, my eyes are a bit sleepy..
Bye Bye,.
Brian

time flies on your day off.

Here it is almost noon. Just gave the kids breakfast and working in the kitchen.
Going to do some quick clean up and head to Sam's club to find something tonight for a cook out with neighbors a few doors down.
Wish it was going to be here. I really don't like to watch other men grill. Just like I can't stand to have someone else drive. I cook out two to four times a week and can't stand the thought of not being in control of the grill!!!!! LOL, silly I know, but true.
I guess I will make up for it Sunday and do some hamburgers and Metts on my own grill. I don't want to make it sad....
Things have been going very well around here. And the kids will be in school in about two more weeks. So it will be even better! LOL

Wife and I will have every Thursday alone for about 6 hours! We plan to do a lot of hiking. Carter caves in KY has some great trails. Lttle bit of a drive, but will be fun. Some trails around here also, but nothing nice and long. Movies, nice lunches, who knows. But I am really looking forward to Thursdays again...

Not been the best year for the pool. Seems like it has rained most of the summer. And I do like the water around 90. Hasn't been above 84 or so at all. Next year I am going to look into a heat pump. I would rather go with solar, but not sure where I would put a 4 foot by 24 foot panel. And I bet I would need two... I will not climb up to the third story of my house.... My knees wouldn't allow that, but it would be the best solution.
We shall see.
Till later. Bks

Do a little dance...........

"We have processed your request for review of your website, http://insanitycam.com/. At this time, none of our data partners are reporting badware activity related to the site. Any warnings displayed by our partners about your site have either already been removed or should be removed shortly. In addition, the report(s) about this site in StopBadware's Clearinghouse have been moved from “active” to “archived.”

Woo Hoo.........

Normal

Is te site back to normal? I think so.
Google has removed the "attack site" warning.
Travcam.com had to change my index page, to get rid of the porn redirect. I guess I could have done this, but I panic when things go wrong with my website, or one of my many computers.... But thanks go to Travis none the same.
So I guess some things are fixed, some are still broken. I plan to get a new modem soon. I believe I will run some new cat-5 to the living room computer so I stop dropping three of the cams. And if need be, I will replace the router. I have added a gig of memory to most all my computers, a new network card in one of them, and still have a few issues. BUT I am tryin'...................
I believe in a week or three I will have a fourth machine to add to the mix. And I do have about 7 more cameras waitting to be used. Some IR cams, some PTZ cams, and even a webcam or two.. Just not sure where to put them. Wife still has a say of coarse. And a few more outdoor cams will not interest people on the net. But they would come in handy from the security stand point. We shall see.
Still grilling out 2 to 3 times a week. Would do it even more if I had the time. Nothing is better then MEAT from the grill. WEll, ok, a few things are. But food wise.................................

What do I do now?

I was told by e-mail today that if you type in insnitycam.com into the addy bar, it takes you to a porn site.
I have seen the attack site pop ups in firefox that make it real hard to get around my site.
I have seen what happens if you google my site.
I am still having problems with networking that takes out three of my cameras.

Is anyone still even coming here??????????
I was looking into a new router, modem, and running some new cat-5 wire to fix the three cameras that come and go as they wish, but is it worth it if I can't fix the "site"? I love this hobby. Wanted to add more cameras. Even some at work. A few more at the house. BUT, this attack stuff. This google blockade, this porn site redirect...... I am at a loss. I want to keep going. But I don't know what to do next.............
If anyone can even still read this, I am tryin' to figure out which direction to go... Too much money in cameras, software, time, cables, etc to stop. But I have no clue how to fix it......

Issue after issue....

Just a little update I guess.
I can't find the bad code, or even know if my site was hacked or not.
This is what I do know. If I use Firefox to go to my site, I get massive attack site warnings. It is a pain to get around, and a pain to see. It even says something in google under my site name that it may do harm....
If I use IE, no warnings come up. But, it does block a pop up from opening. I clicked this pop up a year or more ago, and it wanted to download the newest Flash player. Is this why I am now getting "attack site warnings"? Because my site tries to download the newest Flash player? OR, is that a bug someone put on my site on the server side?
I don't know......I do believe I have lost some of the few people that come here.
I put a new network card into the living room computer today. It drives the living room, porch and front door cameras. I thought it might help. And it did for an hour or so. It is still dropping the network again. It doesn't seem to happen all the time, just here and there. So I guess the next thing to do is change out the cat-5 wire again.Not that it matters if I can't get rid of the attack site crap.
So I lost it on my last post...... I just hate being dumb. Having no idea how to fi this stuff...
Haven't had any problems with the Dining room and kitchen cameras since getting backfrom vacation. Knock on wood.... But if they start going down again, on top of these other problems, I might just give up this site...
