It has finally been launched in Australia. Yay!
But, it appears that our house was not included. Who should I complain to?

I was off surfing around the interweb this after noon when I suddenly got the following appear on my desktop. It shrank my Firefox and displayed this message to me:
If you click on the picture, it will show you exactly what I saw on my screen.
Now, I have used Linux as my primary OS now for about 2 to 3 years and I was suddenly quite concerned over this. Infected!!!! I believed it was now time to investigate. Infected!!!
I clicked on OK and then it started to get interesting. Click on the picture below to see what I saw next. It appears that it was scanning my C drive for an problems. I mean, I do use wine for one program. Maybe, just maybe it was infected.
It was good to know that D drive had no errors.
Uh oh! Don’t you hate it when you use Linux and a Windows XP window comes up advising you that you have all sorts of bugs and Trojans in your system? What to do What to do?
I decided to ignore it, but guess what, it wouldn’t let me. It kept telling me that I was in danger and that I should try installing the software that it was trying to send me. I even tried the cross at the top right to no avail.
It is no wonder all these unscrupulus companies are making huge profits from unsuspecting users. I had to save a copy of the antivirus program, just so I could continue usinf Firefox as it took over me entire browswer until it had finished its charade.
Well, it amused em for thirty seconds.
I’m Back.. Again..

Thought it was about time that I fixed up my website - again. I seem to spend way too much time playing around with my computer and not leaving it working correctly. I promis to leave it
as is now.
I did get some old photos of me recently. I don’t have any photos of me when I was a child and my children and wife have never seen me as a child. Wasn’t I a handsome chap!
Scarey thing is, I still remember those clothes. I’m guessing that was around a 1980 vintage.
