After enjoying temps in the 40's and 50's last week........yeah, I'd say ten degrees is quite cold enough. The good news is that there's only 6 or so weeks of potentially cold weather ahead and then it's all uphill (temperature wise) from there.
Started working on a client's computer last night..........I really, really, really hate spyware, adware and malware. Turns out the client let their grandkids play on the computer several months ago and ever since-the computer just wasn't "right".
I've worked on more infested computers, but this one was bad enough. It didn't have any rootkits on it but I removed over 30 separate spyware programs and bots. I use several different programs to hunt for stuff, it's kinda like playing whack-a-mole with computer files. If you miss one spyware program.........it will invite all its buddies back to the party unless you have real-time protection running all the time.
I hate to see people get so frustrated with computers, these folks were totally ready to go out and buy another computer. I'm glad I saved them the money.

It might be alright if what you got actually looked like the picture. I don't eat there very often, but everytime I do-my burger always looks like someone sat on it before they wrapped it up.
I'm one of those Libertarian nutcases. I'm pretty much on board with what this dude is saying.
I wonder how long it will be before George tells Dick he's "doing a heck of a job".....
A joke........
A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper Sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
....I've but cut off in traffic before by those folks with the fish emblem on their trunklids. I guess they ain't Christians when they're driving.
I plan to buy a Vista laptop in the next few months, but I think I'll wait until Service Pack 1 comes out. Hopefully I'll make enough money with my new business venture to buy both our kids new laptops this year. Our daughter has a nice laptop, but she'd like an ultra portable to take to classes.
All I could think of when I read this article was........what about fixing up or replacing the storm damaged houses of the folks that suffered through Katrina? Somebody ain't got their priorities straight.
Till later.
