At the intersection of Poweruser and Paranoia

Hmm... I wonder if there are any passwords on the note stuck to the monitor. That's about the intelligence I'd expect from her.
Not paranoid enough. She'd think that "hackers" would magically turn her computer's hardware into a webcam and look at the password. Instead she'd write it on a post-it note stuck in a Faraday cage locked in a file cabinet at the house of a distant cousin with no internet access.

This whole thing has to be some kind of joke... someone writing a weblog in their spare time to screw with people on the Internet. Seriously. The scrapbook is normal until the end; it's like she took a course on storytelling or something... what, with the foreshadowing in the earlier entries.
And she knows a bit about computers, too... I don't understand how someone with her credentials and knowledge could come to the conclusion she has. That's also why I think this is a farce of some kind.
That's clinical paranoia for you: a person can be fully functional and apparently normal as long as nothing brings up their certain knowledge that someone is out to get them.

You want to talk to Robert? I can arrange that.

Gee fellas, someone would think that brilliant young minds like you would not waste time your making fun of someone
who is so tragically ill as you describe. That is pointless and cruel. Perhaps it is even unethical.
You don't even make money from it.It is hard for me to understand how it is that people who have so much talent
and warmth and humor and brilliance can get off on laughing about someone else's misery and sickness.
You are so far above that. Still of all the mysteries on the planet, people are the most difficult to explain.

It's easy, huh? Actually you better make sure your ground the thing right or else you're fried.
Maybe some people aren't paranoid enough.

I guess you don't know much about how distributed processing clusters work.

That is known as having "incorrigible" propositions (they can not be corrected, no matter). You folks seem to have a few of 'em too.

Glad you liked the comic. I think I'll write another one soon. Some of you will be in it. But, hey I love helicopters,
I always have, Have you ever seen a Jayhawk land across the street from you? It's awesome.Far as I'm concerned the helicopters have nothing whatsoever to do with my computers and I don't know what made
you think they had. We live on a major port. Sometimes blackhawks, jayhawks, and dolphins are around all of the time.
I think they are fantastic. I don't think they are coming in after me (darn it).The end was a joke about the neighborhood but never mind that.
