Short day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Leaving the office a bit early today, to get an early start on the holiday weekend. I’ve managed to put myself in a pretty good spot by making sure I got all of the “must-do” work for the week done over the past few days, leaving myself free to have a relatively relaxed day today, as long as nothing breaks. (keeping my fingers crossed!)

Anyway, we’re planning on going down to a little park in our neighborhood that has a good view of downtown to see the fireworks display tonight. (Taking my 4 year-old nephew along with us) Then tomorrow we’re having the family over for the birthday celebration. (My birthday is tomorrow, my Mom’s is Sunday and my brother’s girlfriend’s was Monday, there’s a lot of writing on the cake!) Saturday will find us traveling to Dayton with some friends of ours. There may not be much online time…

Anyway, hope you all have a good weekend!

One of the PC’s here at work, when visiting some website, got 3 different Symantec warnings about Trojan.Trunlow: The virus warnings said “Access Denied” But at the same time stamp, Symantec was shutdown, and some of the password stealer .exe’s listed on that page showed up in…

    A new gallery added to the photo section, this one a handful of my favorite pictures of my home Columbus, Ohio. Yeah it’s about time, I know. I’m sure this gallery will be growing over time, but for now, this is a good start. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

  • Anti-virus built in to XP SP2?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As Dana pointed out, this is an interesting article about Microsoft adding a built-in virus scanner to Windows XP SP2. I’m torn, obviously. On one hand, for all those home users who never seem to be able to use AV properly, maybe this isn’t such a bad thing. Although many still won’t remember to update…
