A big ol' WTF
Oct. 14th, 2005 01:35 amI have a big entry about the suckiness of SHS to type up later, but for now, I have a mystery to solve.
I was looking in My Computer to see how much disc space I'd used, and I got to wondering, just what IS in the D drive, anyway? So I decided to peek in and see.
Some computery stuff, okay, that's normal... wtf, "My Documents"? As far back as I can remember, that's always been on the C drive. So I decided to look in and see.
Prepare to WTF.
There are 354 files dated to around 1997-1999. That's okay, except there are about five Excel files filled with phone numbers, credit card information, and... a chemistry lab. Actually, several, but this is only one of them.
( WTF pt.1 )
There's one folder, a desktop.ini file, a file that turns out to be a shortcut back to My Computer... and the other 340+ are all letters or poems.
The "author" is Salah Batrawi, but google says she/he doesn't exist.
The letters seem to all concern the same large group of people. I've only read a few, but everyone loves this one chick Maxine.
( WTF pt.2 )
The ones that aren't letters or combination credit card info-chem lab write-ups are poems. This one's my favorite so far:
( WTF pt.3 )
I don't have any idea who Ann Sheridan, Maxine, Al, Salah Batrawi, or any of the other people mentioned in these files are, and neither does my mother. My computer was originally formatted by Bob's doctor (remember him?) but around 2001 my computer was completely wiped, and since then has been used exclusively by my mother, father, and I (and random friends like Jackie and Bianca on rare occasions.) I'll keep you updated.
