Detail one: There
is that one program I am so careful about, I do not lay it in the
safe but I keep it carefully from all other programs so I can
always find it back easily. This is the program I make graphical
art with, it is a (American) program under the name of
PicturePublisher 9 from Micrografx. Lately
the program failed a bit so I decided to install it again on my
computing device. When I
placed the Compact Disk into the recorder to my great amazement
some files were missing, for example the 'install' file was
missing... That was very strange. Although
very confused upon this I succeeded into starting up the
Micrografx program in other ways then via the desktop shortcut (a
simple direct click on any jpg file was enough often to get the
thing started). But via the desktop shortcut always this problem
run into trouble. The date upon the
start of these particular problems is important but is not a part
of this detail. Detail
two: What timing concerns, I
feel shit I never filed the exact moment that my graphics program
started doing 'strange' was not filed properly by me. I did not
recognize it's importance (you know how chaotic Window
applications can behave) and I am well aware of the limitations of
the human memory. But in this
long story I gave a clue about my particular graphical program
right after that PAM project from DARPA (Pentagon) was axed away
by their political leaders. (In August this year.) Since the PAM
project was a rather wise thing to do (PAM = Policy Analysis
Market, with futures in future political developments and so) this
was a big '1-0' for the story. (Because just two days before I did
some boasting upon 'stockmarkets of international terror'.)
Yes, I had fun and victory was here again. But on the other hand
it was very possible that some DARPA employees were frustrated to
the bone, this was very very likely at that moment in time... So
I think that the graphical program problems started after this PAM
shootout but I am just not sure given the strange ways your own
memory can cheat on you. Detail
three: Strangely enough I
could not run the standard 'defragmentation' maintenance (Windows)
program on the 'C:\' part of my hard disk. Constantly this started
over and over again and constantly there was this new build up of
my desktop (you could see a new screen was build every few
minutes). Detail
four: I grasped that
there was some monitor activity sneaker at the scene, but what and
where? I decided to install the graphical program again... Detail
five: After the strange detail
number one I placed an extra Compact Disk burner into my
hardware and I figured out that this strange non-reading of the
'install' file would be different in that hardware part. I was
right, the 'install files' were 'back'. And
I just clicked on the 'install' command. Detail
six: The installation
failed, the last message from the computer was 'Your DirectX 6
file is corrupted!' I had to shut down the computer and when I
tried to reboot this failed. Detail
seven: Upon inspection of the
content of the hard drives I found that each and every file
exactly five directories deep was wiped out. So a lot of work was
gone and I got mad, the original files to the WarArt numbers 16
though 20 lost! Carefully I
did not repair my computer because I would have recited at least
three extra (car) bombs. I just started thinking 'Who did
this?' __________________________ Summarized: The
DirectX 6 file was so corrupted that when deleting or replacement
takes place it destroys all files to a level of five directories
deep.
I would like to have a kind of weapon like this in my CyberArsenal,
my dear CyberWarriors can you pay a bit of attention to stuff like
this in the coming years? Also my
dear CyberWarriors I am well aware of the fact that you already
have some good filled arsenal and that I often do not even see you
actions or your helping of this story. But for sure you have given
me great works and because they are 'military important' I simply
do not name it at all. I just trust in you, have a nice 'orange
day'. |
