It just furthers my belief that drug abuse and hardship in general makes for more creative, more passionate artists.

I wish there were high-quality video cameras everywhere like ten years earlier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQqx1Dg9xYs

I doubt a complaint with oDesk would do anything, since I did the extra work under my own accord, and it isn't in the contract to which we both agreed.

"Undo the work" would be an understatement for what I would normally do. But I have plans of making a career out of this field, and I don't want the reputation of "difficult to work with" or "bad temper" or anything like that. It isn't worth what little money this is for.

That makes sense. I usually eat the extra time for the good reports too, just didn't think you would. ;P

CSS Mission accomplished for me. Now I have to do woman's work.
(And play some video games too... the virtual shooting of "bad guys" is therapeutic)

They might also try conducting some quality control on the applications they allow.

I would also say educating users on how not to be stupid and recognize shady stuff before it gets to them... But users aren't learning bollocks.

Double like:} I've been lurking, not been anywhere. You guys have just been so far out of my league I had nothing to contribute. B you are right. I'm not worried about myself and the dang apps cause I stay away from them, it's everyone else and the junk I get on my wall from them. It's just pure embarrassing how stupid people are.

As long as you don't click on the stuff from people on your wall, you should be fine.

Anytime I've wanted to use something that required you log into twitter, and it says "This app will be able to: *access your data, *tweet from your account, *follow/unfollow users" I figure I don't need to use it *that* much. Except for one time, it was from a reliable source, but even then I gave it a dummy account.

I can't understand why anyone would see that some application, potentially written by some douche like me, would give it control over what has essentially become their online identity.

lol, I know what you mean. I hate spending hours trying to get viruses/junk off my computer. Just not paying attention, I clicked on a Quick Time Player update....it said... that popped up while I was in FB. Dumb ass me clicked to update and you know what happened. I spent the better part of 12 hours cleaning up my computer. Since then, anything that would pop up for an update....I go to the official site and update there.
