HBO Intermission music and video in the early days of HBO

I distinctly remember watching intermission programming on HBO between regular programming when I was a kid.  We didn't subscribe to HBO, but during their free-trial weekends, I would watch as much as I could.
I recall turning on the TV and either seeing a movie or hearing this "weird" music.  I vaguely remember them also showing calming color patterns along with the text showing upcoming programming.

It always wondered what the music was, and I've finally figured it out after many Google searches.

The music is Brian Eno's - Music For Airports.  Specifically track 1/2.

I'd call it haunting and memorable.  Exactly how I remember it.

Progress report (old post, out of date order)

All of the carpeting is out and all of the walls are down, the last one was next to the furnace and water heater and came down on Saturday night. The partiers on the street looked perplexed to see me carrying out rolls of old carpet and old 2x4s at midnight.

We're trying to get an estimate on cleaning up some plumbing that is running in front of a basement window.

Comfort Windows and Doors is coming on Wednesday to insulate the band joist and sill plate area. This should prevent a lot of air infiltration and make the basement less drafty and lower our heating needs.

New water heater is installed and pumping out the nice warm showers.

Reconstruction is expected to commence next weekend, starting with insulating the above-ground portion of exterior walls and, then framing the walls.

Pictures coming soon!

Right Coupon is the Wrong Malware unless you get the the right cleaner.

I noticed one day a LOT of ads were appearing in my Google search results page, along with the fine-print "Ads not provided by this site".  Wondering who was supplying them, I started doing some research which yielded even more ads including coupon slide-out widgets.  Oh crap, I have some adware/malware...

Being a fan of Nick Francesco's computer show, I immediately went to Security Tango at http://securitytango.com/ as I've heard that it is the definitive solution to removing viruses, malware and adware.  The steps boil down to rebooting in safe mode and running a bunch of programs.  Then rebooting and doing it one more time to be certain.

I diligently when through the first time, performing each step as instructed.  When the programs found some infections and cleaned them, I was relieved.  I decided I didn't need to run through a second time.  I rebooted back to normal mode and ran my tests.  Bad news, RightCoupon was still presenting ads on my pages.

So, I guess I do have to do the second pass.  I reboot to safe mode, perform all the steps in the first pass, reboot to safe mode, perform all the steps again.  Whew.  Finally done (6 hours later)

I reboot to normal mode and ran tests again.  Bad news, RightCoupon was STILL adding ads to me pages!

I did some painful googling (try to find the results when you're getting served dozens of third party ads), and found a page suggesting using the free AdwCleaner to remove RightCoupon.

I installed and ran it, and it like, the Security Tango found a list of infections and cleaned them up.  No safe mode, no 5 step program, no two passes to be sure.  Just run it, then reboot.

I ran my tests again, and Ahhhhhhh.  They're all gone now.   Thumbs up to AdwCleaner.
