Yup, the wife is off for a long weekend before starting her new job, so I’ll be home alone this weekend. And, of course, we all know what that means. Playing with Techie stuff! First on the agenda will probably be upgrading Firefox now that version 1.01 has been released.

Other than that, I have some plans to dig into SQL Server a bit, and maybe catch up on some blog reading and podcast listening. Oh and I still have plenty of those Drakes cakes to eat, too. 😉

    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…

    Yeah, as you can see, I moved all the blogroll lists into blogrolling.com so that way I can make changes on the fly and move at least those lists into new templates easier. It’s a pretty cool service, I must say. I have it set so that the order is random, every time you come…
