New CFPL Staff

Welcome to CFPL Jackie, Migdalia and Xiomara, the new staff members here at the CFPL.

I am so glad we have 3 new people her since we were kind of short for a while. With these new people there is more cover now in the two departments that were needed the most. This will give us some relief and I can concentrate more in what I been slacking off for lack of time. Hope you guys have a wonderful time here.

Oh Hey! I can't close this post without this:

"YOU GOT TO BELIEVE! GO RED SOX!"

To all Non Believers RED SOX WIN WORLD SERIES IN GAME 5!

I HATE Register.com! Rrrrrrg!

Yesterday the day started normal until I went to check my e-mail. I opened Internet Explorer, went to Yahoo's main page, clicked on mail...Coming Soon register for this URL at Register.com RRRG! Not just did I could get to the page I wanted, but I also got 2 extra pop up windows of crap. Same thing everytime that Coming Soon page loaded. Rrrrrg! Fleep!

Ok Fine! Alt+D went to address bar typed mrd.mail.yahoo.com" Enter. Cool! I'm in I figured. Typed in Yahoo ID, Password, Enter...Page just reloaded asking for ID and Password again. Lets try this again... ID, Password, Enter...

...Coming Soon RRRRRRRG ! Bleeep, bleeep, bleeep! Back to main Yahoo page. Signed in right on that page. worked. Scrolled down clicked on (Local Yahoo Americas) U.S. In Spanish. Ok Yahoo in Spanish, cool. Clicked on "Correo" took me to mail sign in page signed in. Typed ID, password, Enter...Bienvenido, Name. YES! I'm in. clicked on Inbox...AAAAHH RRRG! BLEEEP BLEEEP BLEEP! Look, forget it!

Alt+Home back to my home page. Ah, at least Google works. Closer the browser. Ran Spybot search and Destroy, No threats found. ran Ad-Aware just a couple. Quarantined those. Ran Symantec's Antivirus. Scan Complete, nothing. What the hell. There went my morning.

Came back from lunch and thought "let me try Yahoo again see what happend." typed Yahoo's URL, Enter, Mail page... ID, Password, Enter...Freaking thing work like nothing. Oh Crap! I'm in. Clicked Inbox and everything was back to normal.

Now, why couldn't I get in before? Why did I get that darn Coming Soon Page? Why did I get redirected? Can anyone tell me what happend?

Troubleshooting a computer?

On a previous post I had said that once in a while I would post some links. This will be the first one.
Some times when I have a problem with a computer and I'm not sure what to do or what to try, I go to Computing.Net's Web site for ideas.

Computing.Net http://www.computing.net

At Computin.Net you will find answers to all sorts of topics, a How to section Basic or Advanced, a Novice sections, Forums all kinds of ways to look for solutions. It's Free and you don't have to be registered to read the posts or the answers to questions, but if you want to post a question, then you have to register.
As with any advice you get either online on the real world, just because someone tells you to try something doesn't mean you should. Always get second opinions and read more on the subject before you venture into whatever you are about to try.
Till next post, Happy Surfing
