 Discworld: Which Ankh-Morpork City Watch Character are YOU? brought to you by Quizilla
I'm feeling all excited about viruses. Looking at Norton I can see I've had the new one - Novarg - nine times (including three times tonight), Mimail twice (hadn't heard of that one) and Klez.H I had Klez.E a lot but I'm quite excited about H!
Of course the reason I'm excited is that: a. Norton catches these and b. I don't open them so I don't get viruses
The reason I'm so well protected is I got a virus once off a web site - luckily it was one that only e-mailed your username and password out from what you type. As what I typed at the time was 'p' and IE filled in the rest, and ZoneAlarm stopped it from going out, it wasn't a problem.
I can't say how much I love Norton though because it does everything for you. With my old virus program I had to specifically tell it to check things and update its definitions. Norton does everything, which is good, because I'd forget. Which reminds me, I need to do some backups.
I didn't go to Swindon today. I was quite lazy this morning (apart from finishing off yesterday's work, which involved getting out my old computer to get onto the network) but then this afternoon I did two and half hours of spring cleaning - and filled half a bin bag. The rest I'll save for the weekend, although I still have to write up the Rotaract minutes, speak to the Ladygrove magazine editor about getting a piece about Rotaract in there, and do some betaing which I said I'd do last weekend. Mind you, I also need to make some CDs, tidy my hard drive and watch all the millions of videos I've downloaded (and the rest of the TT DVD). It'd be handy if I didn't have to fit going to work in all that.
I did rediscover an funny site though: Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing - lists of forum posts from various websites from people wanting to name their kids really bizarre names. They have to be read to be believed.
