Viruses and Illegitmate Windows
Mon, 12/11/2007 - 1:58pm — jethroI spent 3 hours in the weekend cleaning viruses and trojan horses out of a friend's computer. They had popups happenning galore and the pc was running so slow because of all the applications that were loading at start time it almost wasn't functioning at all.
The worst thing, they had been sold the PC and Windows XP and Office 2003 by some dodgy backyard bloke who had given them illegal unlicensed software, though they were unaware of that fact.

Overflowing with Love for Daddy
Sun, 11/11/2007 - 4:30pm — jethroLast night after dinner the kids were playing contortionist games on the floor, spinning around and stretching and having fun. I was sitting in the chair watching them play and asked who could do the strangest thing with their body. Mercedes climbed up on to me and gave me a full on cuddle. I said Mercedes wins - she is cuddling me. Next minute I had 4 clingons as they all rushed me for a cuddle!
Â
As I was putting them to bed more cuddles came. As I said good night to Miranda and Jadeen, Miranda said "I have so much love for you I am overflowing with love for you Daddy." Jadeen said "Me too!"
Â
I guess their love tanks are full.

We went to the park and played frisbee with their 7 kids ranging from 19 yrs to 15 months. Then we headed back to our place for a BBQ. Following that we went to basketball and took their 4 oldest kids. Great time had by all and more playing to come I am sure.
Free Microsoft Web Design & Developer Event

Free Microsoft Web Design and Web Developer event in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney
'Mix On Campus' is a free Microsoft web design, multimedia and web developer event. Originally just for university students and lecturers, 'Mix on Campus' has drawn interest from members of the broader IT/developer community, so we're slackening the 'students only' rule a little. Whether you're a technology student, you know a technology student (please invite them), or are just interested in the speaker sessions, feel free to register so you can come along and hear about the latest in web design, web dev and multimedia news.
DATES
Brisbane: 20 November, 10am to 4pm, QUT City Campus, Room 117, B Block, 2 George St, Brisbane
Whats up with Microsoft staff blogs?
Thu, 08/11/2007 - 1:38pm — jethroWhats up over at Microsoft?
Â
I just cleaned out my RSS feed reader for all the inactive feeds that were not being updated. Fortunately Google Reader is good at giving me that info.
Â
But over half of the inactive feeds were from Microsoft staff blogs, mostly about Office products, Sharepoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Word etc. In most cases the sites had never been updated to say that the person was no longer working on that team or had stopped blogging about the product. In a couple of instances there wsa an explanation and a redirect to a team blog that was being updated.
