An Eventful Weekend

Hello everybody,

After this past weekend, I am glad to see the week arrive.  I spent most of the weekend fighting the Antivirus Vista 2010 virus on my wife's computer.  This virus seems to have attached itself to her user account, and had rendered all of the programs on her computer unusable.  It also changed all of her browser settings and kept displaying popup ads, and just wreaking havoc.  However, after two days, we finally got it fully removed and have restored the computer back to its original state.  This is the reason why there was no blog entry yesterday (I would have just ranted and raved anyway), and also why I am glad the week is here.  Now, I can focus on my schoolwork, and leave the terrible weekend behind.

On a better note, I did manage to get my new webcam for business installed this morning.  This will allow me to use Skype more effectively as I seek work and talk with clients.  It is much easier communicating with someone face to face than it is to rely on text or strictly talk.

I was interviewed yesterday by a new student in her first term with Kaplan as part of her project for CS114.  Essentially, she asked questions concerning everything from education to honor societies to communication and work.  It felt good to help someone who has only recently taken the huge step into bettering her life, as well as the lives of her family members, through education.  I hope I gave her enough information concerning what to expect as she moves throughout her education and finally off into the world of IT.

Have a great day,
