I'VE BEEN SCAMMED and my computer HACKED!!! My son informed me that the whole computer VIRUS thing I mentioned the other day was a SCAM! My Bank said the first step is to phone the company and cancel the 5-year Protection I paid for and to ask for a refund, which I have just done. Doubt that will happen. Also have to now take my computer in to be cleaned of all the malware, etc. they have installed on my hard drive. What a PAIN! I'm always very careful of scams and hoaxes, but I sure fell for this one. Will be without my computer for a few days this coming week. Thought I would mention this, as I wouldn't want you to think I must be off on another exotic trip, ha, ha!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 28 August 2018, I did another long drive, this time SW of the city into the mountains. This is a second area that I try to do on my own each year now, to make sure that I don't lose confidence to do the drive. Luckily, I saw a few furry, four-legged critters. Though my main purpose was to simply do the drive, I knew I would be driving through spectacular scenery and I knew that I might just see a Bighorn Sheep or two and maybe even a tiny Pika/Rock Rabbit. Fortunately, I was in luck with all three.
A tiny Pika made my day, too. Sometimes, one is out of luck, but I was able to get a few photos, mainly more distant shots. It was a relief to find that there was no snow on the ground, as walking on a talus slope that is also covered in snow and ice is really treacherous. Snow had fallen in the mountains the day before - yes, it was August!! - but either it didn't reach the area I was in or else it had already melted.
These little Pikas/Rock Rabbits are only 6-9 inches long and are usually seen far away, running back and forth over the massive scree (talus) mountain slope that they call home. Very occasionally, one happens to come a bit closer, usually for just a quick moment. Love their little front paws and their round ears.
"The American Pika is a generalist herbivore. It eats a large variety of green plants, including different kinds of grasses, sedges, thistles and fireweed. Although pikas can meet their water demands from the vegetation they eat, they do drink water if it is available in their environment. Pikas have two different ways of foraging: they directly consume food (feeding) or they cache food in haypiles to use for a food source in the winter (haying). The pika feeds throughout the year while haying is limited to the summer months. Since they do not hibernate, pikas have greater energy demands than other montane mammals. In addition, they also make 13 trips per hour to collect vegetation when haying, up to a little over 100 trips per day." From Wikipedia.

A couple of short YouTube videos in case anyone wants to hear and see these absolutely cute creatures:
When i woke up that morning, it looked like it might finally be a day without smoke from all the wildfires - a day with some blue sky, not to mention that perhaps the mountains and foothills could actually be seen. We all know that they are there, but it is eerily strange when they all disappear from view. A quick decision was made and I knew the drive had to be done. As it turned out, many scenic shots had a haze to them, especially when I reached my furthest point, which was Upper Kananaskis Lake. I need to check, but I'm pretty sure this was the first time I had ever driven myself to the lake, and I felt really uncomfortable once I turned off the main highway. So many small roads leading off the road I was on and I couldn't help wondering how on earth I would ever find the way back along this long road that seemed to go on forever. The view at the lake was so hazy, but I posted a photo a while ago, mainly to remind myself that I actually made it to the lake.
Once I turned around to head home, an orange light came on, on my dashboard. Out came the car manual and I saw that it was the Maintenance light. I think this is only the second time it has ever come on (in just under 19,000 km), both times when I was far, far away from home. Turned out to be just a warning that a service was due.
Ryobix is a loyal warrior and guard to his master, Valior. Being mostly robotic, the only living tissue is overgrown. Thus creating spikes and his hunched, slender shape. He runs the main AI controlling system for the TRS models. Mostly to keep the system updated, clean, and virus/Trojan/malware free. Ryobix uses his holographic screens and pre-recordings to speak; even though he can speak himself. Ryobix himself is a very advanced robotic system, years ahead of our technology today. Skilled in the ways of defense and doesn't ever flinch.

Ralph Lagner cracked the code of the Stuxnet worm that tried to destroy the Iranian uranium enrichment facilities six months ago.
The code contains two digital warheads. One slowly modulates the centrifuge rotor controller so that it eventually cracks and explodes. The other interrupts the input values from sensors so the plant control systems see raw sensor data that masks the damage being done.
“When digital safety systems are compromised, then real bad things can happen. Your plant can blow up and neither your operators nor safety systems will notice it. That’s scary. But it gets worse. This attack is generic. It has nothing specific to do with centrifuges or uranium enrichment. It could work as well with a power plant or auto factory. You could use traditional worm technology to distribute it as wide as possible. And if you do that, you end up with a cyber weapon of mass destruction.”
Who did it? “My opinion is that the Mossad is involved, but the leading force is not Israel. The leading force is the one cyber-superpower. There is only one, and that is the U.S.
Fortunately, fortunately, because otherwise our problems would even be bigger.”
Ponder that for a moment….
The TED video of his talk just went online.

Example of Android malware that asks permission to sent SMS messages to numbers cybercriminals can profit from.
Headline news states that in the UK many businesses and NHS Trusts ave been victims of a computer encryption virus - here is how it may have happened. An incoming eMail to an employee refers to an unpaid invoice, the employee clicks on a link to an external website (eg. Sharepoint) where the criminal hackers have been allowed to host their encryption ransomware / malware.

Quoting from the placard:
The Morris Internet Worm source code
This disk contains the complete source code of the Morris Internet worm program. This tiny, 99-line program brought large pieces of the Internet to a standstill on November 2nd, 1988.
The worm was the first of many intrusive programs that use the Internet to spread.
-- The Computer History Museum
Quoting from Wikipedia | Morris Worm:
The Morris worm or Internet worm of November 2, 1988 was one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet. It is considered the first worm and was certainly the first to gain significant mainstream media attention. It also resulted in the first conviction in the US under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It was written by a student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on November 2, 1988 from MIT.
It's somehow less impressive to just have a copy of a program on exhibit like this.
I mean, for starters does this floppy even work anymore, or has it demagnetized over time? Is there a backup somewhere, and if so, does it work?
Questions like this is why people hate making museum exhibits for computer nerds.
The taste of shame is what Kenzero loves the most. The Kenzero Twins work together, one half investigating, uncovering every deepest secret of their victim, just so the other half can reveal everything as loud as it can, to everyone. If you have something to hide, it's already too late: everybody will know what you've done.
