Operation March Sadness II

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd just rounded up 108 people in Operation March Sadness II sex sting. Detectives say dozens were arrested during an operation focused on human trafficking, prostitution, and child predators. Judd has been busting pedophiles for years. I’d think the word would have gotten around not to seek sex online but Judd just bagged another hundred including a retired judge! Fox13 Tampa Bay reports: Basically, the undercover detectives communicated with suspects and arranged a meetup location where they were arrested. One couple traveled as far as Bradenton…

Williams-Sonoma is FidoSysop’s Christmas Grinch of the year! Apparently, the home goods giant’s company bean counters decided that seasonal work from home employees would be fired two days before Christmas Eve. What’s even worse was how the upscale home goods retailer handled their employee firings. They gathered those to be forced on conference zoom calls and a recording said you’re fired. The crap hit the fan with at least one employee recording her conference call! Daily Mail UK reports: Home goods giant Williams-Sonoma has fired scores of remote workers in…

state farm drive safe & save app

State Farm Insurance Company has their Drive Safe & Save app that is designed for older cars that do not record driver’s habits. When inquiring about a recent rate increase, my agent suggested drive safe & save beacon and iPhone app to receive a monthly discount. First, let me start out by saying. I’ve been driving for over 50 years without an accident. My last traffic citation was in 1983 with a Kawasaki GPZ-1100 Motorcycle that was sold a year later, and I haven’t had a ticket since! 😎 Update…

Fort Desoto Park Brian Laundrie Sighting

Brian Laundrie is as good as captured now that Dog The Bounty Hunter is hot on his trail. Both Brian Laundrie AND his parents visited Fort Desoto Park, located in Pinellas County Florida. I know that park well being born in Pinellas County. Getting there requires going over three bridges in what’s called the bayway islands, in south St. Petersburg the tip of Pinellas county. After crossing the third bridge there is a good-sized public boat ramp facility. Next is a toll facility that is staffed by a county employee…

Roku Subscribers May Lose YouTube TV Subscription

roku youtube tv

Received an email from roku.com today saying negotiations between them and Google had broken down. The email went on to say, their subscribers may lose access to YouTube TV. Roku is concerned about unfair demands from Google concerning their user’s data. Why is it the big guys are always trying to dropkick the little guys in the nuts? Money and Power just like the Biden Admin! In my personal opinion, this is nothing more than a big-tech power play to force TV viewers back to the cable companies. Just like…

Saying Goodbye to Costly cPanel and Hello Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE

Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE

Recently I gave cPanel the boot and said hello to Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE which is FREE for up to 3 domains. I’ve run cPanel for well over a decade, but its license fee has skyrocketed within the past year. Searching for an alternative and trying two others, I chose the FREE Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE version as the easiest to set up. And had my two sites online within an hour. Plesk Obsidian is way different than cPanel and with such, there is a learning curve to…

Just What Is Considered An Essential Service During Covid19 Shutdown

FidoSysop
essential services covid19

I’m bored today and figured this video clip of a Largo traffic cop running his speed trap during covid19 shutdown would be different. Are writing traffic tickets considered an essential service? Cops must earn their keep in this spot alone. Cars come hauling ass over the overpass at 142 ave north. The posted speed limit is 55 mph. Probably going 5 mph over the limit will get ya pulled over. Then the officer wants to see yer license, registration, and proof of insurance. It could get really expensive if your…

fidosysop on the coronavirus doom and gloom

Doom and Gloom seems to be today’s message on TV. As America begins it’s most deadly coronavirus cvnid-19 week yet I’m ready to live or die. Never even two weeks ago were these thoughts echoing in my mind. Thinking about the love of my life that passed away in December. She was probably lucky our heavenly father took her when he did. She was spared the worrying. My personal thoughts are, cvnid-19 was cooked up by China and the Democratic Party. China and Democrats both HATE America’s TRUMP ECONOMY! Sounds…

Pinellas County Emergency Management Website Insecure Joke

pinellas county government insecure non-mobile friendly website

I’m sure you’ve received at least two coronavirus related sms messages today. The alerts (one woke me up during my afternoon cat nap) link to pinellascounty.org website. On top of not being https secure. The OFFICIAL pinellas county EMS website is NOT Mobile Friendly. If this was my website I’d be embarrassed to link it to sms emergency alerts! 🙁 So I’m wondering how much Pinellas county taxpayers are paying for this garbage website? Looks like something that was created with a GoDaddy site builder! 😆 This website reminds me…
