HOSTILE TAKEOVER...

(begun Sunday 18th July at 5.35am.. Logged on now to an appalling slow connection and only 94% signal..)

Many of you read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo yet?  I bet you have...*grins... How perfectly the now-deceased author describes the means the Creep uses to control and monitor our computer.. The hacker is the hero of the trilogy and there's no doubt in my tiny mind that Balliram regards himself in a similar light..*vomits..
Chalk and cheese you Idiots!   The fictitious heroine was after information, and that's always been of secondary importance to Colin P. Balliram, while mischief and destruction are the gods worshipped by this sad, obsessed Crook...*shrugs..

I still struggle to believe how you've blindly followed this Cracker, as he's moved the goalposts to include so many others on his hit list.. He simply couldn't stop at just the Toady Show, although the Courageous Couple's version of my character was more than enough to garner your support.. My own yammerings once begun on this blog would've added mightily to my ongoing free-fall...
As they began adding other victims to their list, regaling you with stolen snippets of private lives, did you not have any misgivings at all?  Did you not begin to see that Balliram had elevated himself to some sort of Judge and Executioner?  Clearly not...*eyeroll....

Once his good buddy Nayager's exploits hit the headlines did it not occur to you to pull the bloody plug on your slavish devotion to this Creep?  Or did van Zyl consistently defend him, making it that much harder for you to see the truth?  His role here in the Zone is vital to the Big Brother Project, and his short-comings must be overlooked?  Shortcomings FFS??!!  *falls over laughing... Now there's an understatement for you... Forget your carefully painted and bought Bigger Picture, and admit that his employment was a serious error..

I'm betting the Authors had a fairly comprehensive character study run on el Monstro in the early days and were well aware of his relationship to the underbelly of society... Just the man for the job then?  *nauseated...
What you couldn't have known, was how his instability would lead to such uncontrollable levels of vindictiveness.  Malicious behaviour that did more to reveal the corruption surrounding the Plan Fantastique than anything else...
Will the Authors learn from this mistake?  Will they Hell!  *coughs...

Last night the PC was at it's worst yet as pages loaded drunkenly and google displayed some seriously bad behaviour.. Kapersky said we'd not done a full scan for 6 days.. A lapse fosho, but despite this, the only problems encountered on our computer are those generated by our seriously disfunctional Network Administrator, and you know it...
Sitting in full view of a base-station as we are, and subjected to all the odd little extras that go hand-in-hand with that particular privilege, our connection should be perfect... Balliram continues to ensure that it isn't, despite the  money the GW diligently feeds to tradepage...*waves to Ian Halliday...
Do you have any idea how many others dotted across the Zone endure similar attentions?  You give a toss as long as you can enjoy your WUG companions?  *blinks...

Monday 19th July at 3.55am..

A mirrored harddrive hey?  A hostile takeover?  The nearest I came was to call it cloned, and that was close enough... Something that since the book was written and first published in 2005 has probably been refined and made dead easy for your average hacker to do...*yawns.. A means of surveillance and control now par for the course and employed by Big Brother Controllers across the world...

I'm betting the 'How to' is part and parcel of the Creep's tutoring curriculum, right Missus C?  I'm also betting that he doesn't stop there, but in many cases tacks on a few extra lessons on how to cause the most damage and mischief to a target's computer...
Despite running the full scan yesterday, when I connected last night our Network Admin couldn't resist tweaking google as he had the night before, despite that when I'd asked the GW he'd said he'd had no more problems since the scan...
Live with it Jannie?  You and yours created this monster, and either you've found you can't control it, or you don't wish to..

Let's adjust the blurb on the book's cover just a tad, shall we?
How's about: Colin P. Balliram, enigmatic, delinquent and dangerous security specialist. A genius computer Cracker, he tolerates no restrictions placed on him by individuals, society or the Law...*pukes endlessly.. Izzat so?
You couldn't have put it better yourself, could you... A character portrait I swear you've encouraged the Chop himself to believe...*roffels... Good strategy (!) to harness a hacker with those traits maybe? Except of course there's a slight glitch and one that makes all the difference..
You have knowingly employed a Cracker to run the system here in the Zone and that is pretty much unforgiveable... *belches..

Deliberately handing so much power to someone who thrives on causing mischief and destruction was not your finest hour, nor was it that of the equally corrupt Superintendent of Electricity for Durban... *yawns..
No harm done?  *falls over shrieking..
Dewd - whilst I've learned the hard way that the majority of IT-savvy users can be easily manipulated to become a mindless, tunnel-visioned mob, I can't accept that you allow this DICKHEAD free rein to attack so many others here in the Zone...
You've heard how he fries target's appliances by spiking them to melt-down point, you've heard how he tortured the old couple up next to the Gatehouse in Garbutt Road via their power supplies.. You're fully aware that he and his rubbish cohorts are behind our VC's increasing problems, and that the weird symptoms so many of us now endure are as a direct result of individual attacks via our power supplies, and still you drag your well-shod feet FFS!

On the off-chance that you've lost the plot and succumbed to your own sales pitch Jannie, allow me to remind you that what once may have seemed a brilliant strategy has fallen flat on it's face...
See, the Knob totally sees himself as 'tolerating no restrictions placed upon him by individuals, society or the law, and you've happily fostered his delusions...*laughing..
A massive oversight that should have been nipped in the bud early on, but you were enjoying it too much to put the brakes on until it was simply too late...*nods..
You're not familiar with anything resembling guilt are you? No, I didn't think so...*grins..

Have YOUR Superiors not pricked up their ears yet, or have you assured them you'll take care of the problem?  Would that be before or after the next catastrophe?  *interested...
Will one of Agliotti's or Rassool's appointed Controllers (endorsed by your Genius Self) be the cause of yet another public outcry, as happened at Craigavon or Blairgowrie?
Maybe controlling the masses tightly is the only answer, but that's way beyond my comprehension..

You've lost some serious ground here Meneer Telecoms Agent, and I'd love to know if you still consider these as minor glitches to be ignored, or whether you're going to make an effort to rectify the damage..?*doesn't hold it's breath...
You could start by leaning heavily on the Insurance Scammer next door, and include the ex-Head of Sydenham Station and close buddy of Jackie Selebi, Glen Nayager. (Who is still inexplicably heavily involved in the Project)..
You could have Johan Booysens turn his gaze to this bunch of criminals and in particular to their Manager, the carefully scrubbed-up and now apparently squeaky-clean Druglord, Earl Michael Barnabas..

You could have Booysens check out the relationship between the ShaikBoyz and this piece of shyte for starters...
Problem is Jannie - You know all these details already don't you?  You've tried laughing off my allegations derisively and I've just kept coming... A 'bugger for punishment' and 'by now she believes her own lies' has acquired a seriously hollow ring after all these years, dontcha think?  *cackles..
It's too late?  You couldn't stop this express train of wickedness even if you wanted to?  Baby steps Dewd...*fingers crossed..

I'd gone out on the front lawn yesterday afternoon at 3.45pm to see what the dogs were fussing about.. A couple of pups were playing unattended down in the valley... He stood very still, doubtless hoping I wouldn't see him, and I turned on my heel and went to fetch the camera... In the minutes it took me to return, he'd run up the bank behind the trees, but his red jacket gave him away and I got THESE pictures.. He broke cover, pulled his hoodie over his head and galloped across the valley and up to below the Plumber's boundary wall.. On the way, his hood fell back and Bingo, I got lucky HERE...
Much older than his outfit would have you believe then?  *grins..
Another with a large wardrobe of different outfits, hired for a purpose Balliram?  The same guy as the one pictured HERE and HERE on different days, over under the gumtrees?  *nods..

You care to tell him he's on camera, and that with a bit of luck on my part he could end up on uTube with an eye hanging out, should he be foolish enough to get within my range? *teeth... You've surely figured out that I'm on a slow burn by now?

LATER at 9.20am..

Just after 9.00am I was out the front to see what appeared to be yesterday's Bushdweller stroll by down in the valley.. No hood this time, but a red baseball cap and considerably more facial fuzz... Clothes swop or same dude?  *interested...

Peace..
