Tech Help and Observations (Kewl Quote Today)

Over that past few days Spybot Search & Destroy has had several updates. Most people need to check for updates manually (I do) so it may behoove you to hit that update button. Be sure and immunize. Hit the green + sign at the top of the immunize page to start the immunization process. There's also a virus making its rounds disguised as a UPS or DHL shipping notice message. Don't do it! Do a check before opening. Just scan that particular email with your anti-virus. BTW, have you defragmented your PC lately? Might be a good idea to check that too.

After the outrage at Notre Dame due to President Obama delivering the commencement address, all the protesters and the fact he had NO business at a Roman Catholic University given his somewhat shadowed religious beliefs, it was refreshing to read about another person addressing a graduating class. Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, addressed the attentive gathering at the University of Pennsylvania. He actually told them to turn off the computers for a while and look around in the analog world. Schmidt said. "Nothing beats holding the hand of your grandchild as he walks his first steps." Wow! Go Eric! Read about it at the Associated Press. Normally these things bore me, but this is an awesome article. Check it out.

No grumbling today. Some friends helped my plight by being good listeners or offering aid, some ignored me and others hung up. Thank you MJR for the offered Plaintain Cure, thanks Hoppa for the kind ear, thank you Verdana, Beagle, Felecia (edit: sorry about your rear end car accident while we we talking!) and Ashy for listening. Thanks to all my clients for their patience without pressure. Ahhh, so goes the way of the world. Have problems and friends tend to show true colors. God willing, today will be a better day. Lord-dee I was grouchy yesterday. Repairing the riding mower is the inside (or would that be outside?) beach house priority. You can bet your sweet bippie I'll be watching for those red wasps, lol. Nice to have my half full glass back. Have a casual day.

"Talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit, it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health."
