Any of you ever had a wart?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I know its random but I’m curious as to how people usually get them off because i have one on my hand, and I’m using some liquid stuff I got at Wal-Mart that was much cheaper than the freeze-off solutions.
Anyway, not until i looked up info on WebMD did I find out exactly what the stuff is supposed to do, and why I just screwed up the process.
The past couple of days, I’ve been pretty diligent about putting it on, and tonight after noticing the slight toughness of the skin around where I had applied the stuff, I proceeded to try to remove what I thought was merely a film of the liquid that had hardened.
That may have been true to an extent, but what I picked at and eventually tore off must have been an entire layer of skin around it.
WebMD says the stuff eventually creates a blister around the wart, lifting it off of the skin… and that would explain the unusual watery discharge as i began to pick it away.
:/
So, now I have a band-aid on it, waiting for it to heal a bit before I start over. Ugh.

Service Pack 3 is out!

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Yes, friends, it’s what you’ve all been waiting for … the final service pack for Windows XP. And I consider it a must-get.

If you’re installing on one computer that has high-speed internet: Visit Windows Update
Or, to install on multiple/offline/dial-up computers: Download the full service pack (316 MB)

If you’re interested, you can read the SP3 release notes to find out everything that’s new - or, you could also skip straight to the list of fixes in SP3 (beware, it’s a long list!).

Enjoy - and happy XP computing to all! ;)
