Read Immediately, Confirmed Virus [this is not SPAM or any other crap]

For those who run a Windows computer, this sounds familiar from a few years ago. My judgement, after reading the linked page below, leads me to believe that I had something very similar happen to me a couple of years ago. Believe me, it is very hard to get rid of this 'infection' and almost impossible if you are not computer savvy; and while you're trying to get rid of the virus/trojan, the author has your personal information and is using it for things you don't want to think about. It was a big hassle for me and I don't want any of you to have to deal with it. Just makes me glad my system is now Ubuntu (Linux) and Kassy's an Apple. (See below.)

True or not, doesn't hurt to be aware. According to SNOPES this is true.

READ IMMEDIATELY.....VERY IMPORTANT

Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton Please send it to everybody you know who has Access to the Internet.  You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled "Here you have it" If you open the file, a message will appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful....'

Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC, and the person who sent it to you will gain access to your Name, e-mail and password. This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus software's are not capable of destroying it.

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'.

PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.

A Little Test

I'm testing out a new blogger app for my phone. I like it better already because the typing is 'smarter' and the interface is cleaner. But then again, this one is made by Google.

New Light

I got this a while ago, but it's also been far too long since my last post.

Storage, Version 2

Now more spread out along the wall, and opening up access to the rest of the built in shelves. Maddock even has his own spot on the wall for his bike.

What I've Been Doing

With life being as busy as it has been, between work and the family, it seems like I never have any time to pause and scatter out a small blog post. But I have been riding into work every day, about 15 miles total daily. This here is interesting; it's the summary from my log:

Total Distance:            979.07

Total Time:              65:40:31

Moving Time:             59:53:29

Number of Tracks:             138

Average Speed:              14.91

Average Moving Speed:       16.35

Elevation Gain:            30,546

Min Elevation:               -190

Max Elevation:                819

  

Average Track Distance:      7.09

Longest Track Distance:     25.05

Average Max Speed:          25.79

Highest Max Speed:          43.84

Time Spent Stopped:       5:47:02

% of Time Stopped:          8.81%

Of course these numbers only include the days that I was able to have a good GPS signal, which was most days. But it is nice to no longer be "a slave to the numbers" and just judge my speed on my own and not be that concerned with logging the data because I can always upload it to the log later, because the phone saves the record automatically. One hell of a run-on sentence I know, but it gets the point across I think.

That's all for now, I've been typing this intermittently while at work so my train of thought is incredibly broken.
