Windows Defender again

I noted last week that it seemed odd that the new definitions I was prompted to download were dated 4 days ago. I’ve been prompted to download 2 updates since then, so obviously, they are updating the def files often.

  • Testing, testing 1,2,3

    Back at work this morning. Quite enjoyed the three-day weekend, hope you all did too. Didn’t spend alot of time working on tech projects over the weekend, just a little bit, along with a little bit of movie watching, picture taking, sleeping, hanging out with Angela, etc. It was probably needed with what’s coming up…
