messengers

i got a request today that someone has added my name to their 'buddy' list and was that ok. although i couldnt work out who it was i said yes (curiosity - meow). after i had ticked ok, i suddenly wondered about security issues on these messenger services. (i have yahoo and msn) are there any? can i be opening my puter to bad things by giving unknown people access to my messengers? just a thought. aloha

 

anyone know what this says?

 

roughly translated it's

"you must first go through hell to know what lives in heaven"

and through a crappy translating program it became "First you must lower to hell to know that you live in the sky" haha

there are some security risks with messenger programs, but mainly during a direct connection where someone mght send you a file or something...

not much to worry about as long as you deny their request to connect to you (unless of course you know and trust them)

 

wow, thats a pretty deep screen name. mine's just my name. lol

curiouser and curiouser. i didnt deny the request.,...which is why the question. and what sorta user name is that lol. and why do they want to connect to me. lol. will keep you updated lol. exciting this puter, i ought to call it 'hal'. there are probably programs that would make it say things like 'are you sure' and ' this computer will self distruct in 30 secs if you hit ok'. aloha ps was that spanish?

 

I really don't like people who have an often chaning non-identifying name. Like "i am a butterfly, don't make me die" or "Like a rolling stone" My one is quite good. Its my name

 

well they havnt got in touch yet....if it is someone that knows me or zoe, it could be an obscure reference to the difference between hawaii and gillingham, kent. however most people who know me and zoe, know we dont speak spanish lol. aloha

 

halo, i'll bear that in mind next time this happens. if this person doesnt get in touch in the next couple of days, you can help me delete it? double aloha

 

the only thing that comes to mind........somebody wants to know when your online..........but' since you don't speak the same, somebody messed up, and it came to you...............
