Dream Log 10-01-10

I am a student at a medical school. As in most of my school dreams, I forgot my schedule and can't find a printed version of it anywhere. I wander throughout the school finding various things. Part of my journey involves sneaking past a restricted area. This leads to a library, which should not be restricted. After passing the library, I reach an area where corpses are left out in the open to rot.

I find a small room that has a lot of electrical wiring on spools. This is the location of the electronics class, but there are no students nor teacher, because everyone is here to learn medicine and not electronics. I spend some time contemplating why there is a classroom for learning electronics. I wonder if I should study medical electronics and get a career in making medical devices.

After leaving the electronics classroom, I pass more rotting corpses. This eventually leads to an outdoor area that seems to be a fenced in giant mound of feces. I climb down the fence, run past security, and wake up.

Missed Connection?

While waiting for the train today, I saw an attractive woman on the other side of the platform. She noticed me looking at her and waved to me. I looked around to be sure that she wasn't waving at anyone else and waved back. We glanced at each other several times during the next few minutes, and she waved several more times.

Shortly before my train arrived, she took out a marker and started to write on a piece of paper while repeatedly glancing at me. I wondered if she was writing a message to me like in Signs, but the words were clearly not large enough. She did not show me what she wrote and waved one last time while I got on the train.

While the train moved away, I suddenly realized that she might have written down what was on my shirt. I was wearing a shirt with "blogstalk.com" on it. The text is fairly large and could have been read from across the station if her vision was decent. I was hoping that she would join and contact me, but she hasn't.

Free Ice Cream

\"Fox
Fox is apparently trying to bribe people to watch their shows. I did not eat their free ice cream and I will not be watching their shows tonight.

Also, I got boob-slammed three hours later at the same location where the ice cream truck had been.

USAGC.ORG is a scam

A client asked me to help her with registration on usagc.org, because she was having difficulty. I did not immediately realize that this was a scam site and attempted to help her. Filling out the form was fairly simple, but I encountered unusual problems when trying to upload a photo. The box that should show the path to the file displayed something very strange. Instead of something like "c:\users\myclientsname\pictures\photoname.jpg", it showed "c:\fakepath\photoname.jpg". There is no bug I know of that causes the path name to be substituted with "fakepath".

This seemed very suspicious, but I persisted. I initially had tried on Internet Explorer 8 and decided to try on Firefox 3. I again encountered a problem with the upload, but the problem was slightly different. Instead of "fakepath", I got two boxes. One showed the path, which was correct this time, and the other showed the file name. The upload still failed. I tried again in Chrome and got only one box that showed no text. The browse button was not visible but functioned if I clicked in the correct area where the button should be.

These errors were too odd. It seemed almost as if the errors were placed there intentionally to frustrate users. I asked my client about the site and she informed me that she discovered it through an unsolicited email (spam). She also informed me that she had to pay for the service. She paid, believing that this was the Green Card Lottery registration system. It is not.

The only correct site for the Green Card Lottery is http://www.dvlottery.state.gov. On the official site, there is a fraud warning about sites that charge a registration fee. The green card lottery is free. Also, official US government sites should end in .gov and not .org or .com.
