I have an impending parental visit tomorrow :) YAY!

England currently 468-4, only 16 behind! OMG! I am astounded. This has been a wonderful day's cricket from what I have seen. Wish I was there.

My dad gave me a warning today about a Virus he had contracted on his compie - apparently it disguised itself as a process called "unwise.exe" and deleted all the associations on his PC - to the point where Windows didn't know what to do with a ".exe" file ;) *chuckles* He said it was an RPC thingie, one that just snuck in when he put his PC back on the wireless network before enabling the firewall. Oops :)

I neglected to point out that there are very few linux virii (is it virii or viruses?) in existence ;) Besides, my router acts as a kinda firewall by doing NAT, the only ports that are open get directed to mainpc and they're SSH, Web, and POP3. Thassit. I think...
Mood:: 'pleased' pleased
Music:: Cricket - 4th Test
