Made a lot of progress. Still not back up to the 10,000 words per week rate but I also got a lot of background done. I had a very hard time getting restarted this morning but once I got started I flew through 2,000 words. I actually got a lot of plotting for books two and three done as well.

I think I’m done creating avatars for a while

You can click on my image to see all my avatars

I hope folks be amused

But spyware, wyrm, and virus authors are Flaming ASSHOLES! If someone were to admit to being one, in my physical presence, they will get an immediate nose job with accompanying full body massage using a DID850 motorcycle drive chain!

Thank you.

was creating avatars last night and her computer started behaving strangely. For one thing, pop up ads started appearing in spite of the pop up blockers that we have. This morning one rude ad decided that we were n’t allowed access to the task bar. I immediately shut down the machine and booted to root. Running Spybot S&D now, followed by MS AntiSpyware beta (it’s running as I write).

The infestation that I found is unbelievable and we practice careful computing. I think that she got the infestation from one of the avatar build sites but I don’t know which one.

I also find it slightly annoying that MS AntiSpyware thinks that UltraVNC is spyware.

Edit: I finished the scans and everything now checks out as clean … 2 hours later. I seriously would like to bill back for my time [grrr]

We found the gia dream avatar site again!

I spoke with my brother last night. Last Spring, my mom moved in with my sister. This was a sudden decision. Well, sudden for me anyway. Mom has been a full-time RV’er since about 1991.It was last night when I finally got the whole story from my little brother, my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last March and the State of California yanked her license. My mom is 76 years old.

I feel bad about that. But inexplicably, I’m also angry that I’m only hearing about this now!

Never release a working product the first time.
