Love Smart (or How to Get a Man)

This is the second installment of ‘Mobile University’, or formerly known as ‘What I am Listening to in My Car’. I haven’t been spending a bunch of time in my car lately, but I continue to use that time for what Zig Ziglar calls “Mobile University”.

Life Changes

Back in 2005 I made the decision to stop being self-employed and started looking for full time employment. That is when I discovered my lack of college degree had really come back to bite me.

New Year – New Resolve

2006 started out as a resolve to take off the remaining pounds, but ended up adding 32 pounds to my body. One of the reasons for this gain was a school schedule that caused me to spend 10 weeks on my butt working for A’s. After I finished these 4 classes, David and I joined the local Cardinal Fitness and I started going several times a week. A really bad cold sidelined me for a number of weeks and the holidays were another reason to eat (aren’t they always?).

Grrr…Fed up with Symantec

I pulled Symanted Antivirus off of yet another home user’s computer when it failed to find all the parts of a trojan dropped on a new home client’s computer. One of the things I’ve noticed is that Symantec will zap a trojan…right after the dog-goned (G-Rated word) trojan drops its payload. Like that’s gonna help. This time the user had Trojan.Bankem.B on their system and Symantec failed to find ANY of the files even with up-to-date virus definitions. Fortunately AVG found the bad boys and so did Spybot Search & Destroy.
