Yesterday Randomness

System Security version 4.52 - - Triple Ugh.  At 1:30am Sierra is knocking on my bedroom door complaining about a virus that is claiming it's about to blow up the computer.  I drag myself out of bed - sure enough - something has invaded the PC.  It makes itself look like an anti virus/spam software and sends out pop-ups saying the computer is infected etc. etc. - it even changes your wallpaper to one that reads something like "YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED!!!! ---- YOU WILL INFECT THE WORLD IF YOU DON'T STOP IT NOW".  Jeezzzzz-us.  It was a brat to get rid of because it blocks .exe files.  I had to reboot in safe mode in order to run the detection software.  Needless to say - I hadn't gotten around to installing security stuff on this new computer yet.  Gah.

Yesterday Marcel & I went Nursery Hopping in Austin.  We had fun looking around and getting familiar with the various shops.  To be honest - none of them bowled me over, but The Natural Gardener (that I've been to before) was pretty cool.  I picked up a Patchouli plant, Spearmint, and English Thyme.  We also decided on Fire Bushes for our fenceline.

This reminds me - I'm going to download AVG tonight! Kinda funny that you were awaken for a computer virus.... like a kid with a 105 fever.

The Mr. and I hit a few nurseries in town. I finally found a chocolate orchid that I could afford (one with no flowers :) and golden beet seeds.

I use Linux (and Firefox and NoScript etc). This stops most problems.

You sound like a real techy mum bing able to do all thats stuff, though.

Why would a virus tell you it was there, though? Just tocause angst?
