Me and Steve
I was just about at the end of my rope (or should I say “line”; there are no ropes on a boat other than a boltrope) trying for the last two weeks or so to figure out this mischievous and mutinous confounded frickin’ fandangle contraption and its peripheral problems; myself readying to scuttle this already sinking scow in the nearest open ice hole, or walk the plank myself–three sheets to the wind, of course–to end my bloody misery!
Arrrghh b’ dar, but then along comes the Kelly Lake Webmeister with his savvy of the confounder–I mean computer-and an arsenal of weapons aimed at corruption by the corrupted themselves, with their mindless ‘mindset’; whereas this humble Capt’n merely armed with sword and musket (musket ball in my shirt pocket!). Aye, and how noble tis he who renders his service so freely since the site’s launching, later so see a web cam mounted such as a telescope to look at the open waters of Kelly Lake from all four corners of thee earth and Seven Seas for our curiosity and enjoyment. Aye, me lads and lassies, the scurvy scoundrel of corruption be thwarted!
From where-st this screwdriver wielding wizard cometh? Aye, his forte are businesses and industry infrastructure; configuring, formatting and troubleshooting from coast to coast. He offers his magic free to the Kelly Lake Community web site. On behalf of the community, I salute you for your “one-two-three-there-it’s-fixed, Rog!” You saved this pc from a cold watery Davy Jone’s Locker!

Oh, by the way, the cam is still down!

visited the site on Friday and got a piece of malware.
“internet security 2010″ it tries to make you buy a program.
it locks up everthing and it is tough to get out.

Recently there have been attempts to hack the WordPress installation on KellyLake.net and while the site was temporarily infected with a common base 64 wordpress hack, the perpetrator has been isolated; your admin account has been deleted and the mess you made to our code corrected. You have to wonder about the mindset of someone who spends their time hacking into tiny community websites.
Anyway, Rog I got the email message and fixed it right away. I also did an upgrade to WP 2.9.1 (the latest version) BTW, I’m 99.999999% sure that this has nothing to do with your local PC problems, but I’ve been known to be wrong .0000001% of the time. ;^D Steve
BTW: If you experience any other odd website behavior or redirects to other pages, browser warnings etc. please let Roger know.
We’ll stick with the vanilla wordpress theme right now until some new clean themes come out. Corrupt themes can also be a backdoor into the wordpress installation.

Yes, Cam1 is down again and has been since Sunday afternoon. A week or so ago it was down due to cam failure and router failure–could have been a spike in the power lines. Well, my pc will not allow me to access the Internet or email, therefore I’m posting this on Shirley’s pc connected by wireless.
I’ve gone through all my troubleshooting from past failures and had tocontact techs from both my IP and pc manufacturer since late Sunday to no avail. the pc tech gave me a download ( almost a small book!) last to go through and try to restore my pc. I plan to tackle that today–a lot of reading.
If that fails, I’m going to try to connect this pc to the cam by downloading the cam’s software and entering the all the figures in hopes that I can receive communication from cam via my wireless. This might take awhile! Roger

Writing from the northern suburbs of Chicago, about 4 blocks from the lakefront(Lake Michigan). We are getting the snow that the lake is supposed to get. Hope you guys get enough for the sleds to run, but not too much to get around safely. Start the snowblowers- its going to be a rough night in Chicago.
