Alright, I have a bunch of stuff to do (much of it college) so this is just bare bones (I’ll edit in the rest later), but I HAVE A NEW JOB! First, Dunkin Donuts wants to keep me, so they offered to put me on the path to manager, starting with shift leader, or maybe assistant manager.

But the MUCH better news came later today, when I talked to the owner of the Sweet Mesquite, and he WANTED ME TO COME IN FOR TRAINING ON MONDAY!!!!!!

Woot! All this, and I get the feeling from my aunt that my uncle will help me get the money needed to place a downpayment on an appartment!!! YES YES YES!!!

Life is good.

Hmm.. What a wonderful weekend I’m just getting off of. I spent the night with my Darling on Friday. What a nice night. Except that her friends are bitches (it’s a long story, but I cheered her up with a trip to Hitch Hikers Guide). But yeah, so we spent the night. And then, on saturday I took her out to a wonderful Prom Dinner (we decided to skip prom, and just do a fancy dinner with her and a friend and myself and her friends boyfriend) at the Windam Hill Inn. It’s a really great place, to be honest. And then we went back to her friends house, and they let us take a room for the night. *sigh*. It was the most romantic weekend of my life. Then this morning we just lay in bed for a few hours.

Then reality hit, and we had to rush out. I helped her with her recital (getting programs ready, printing out stuff, folding, ect.), and she was REALLY thankful. She left the most heartbreakingly sweet message on my cell after we parted (she didn’t want me to go because it would break her heart if her family hurt me. And honestly, they’re so immature that they might. I’m not worried, but that doesn’t stop her worrys).

I love her. We spoke tonight, and I hope to see her tomorow. Damn, I’m lucky.

She told me that it was the best weekend of her life. THAT was worth ALL the money.

Well, that’s basicly all. Good night, every one.

Just thought I should write a quick update to let you all know: I’m working on overhauling the site. I’ve got Tag support now (I just have to go back through and update EVERY one of my posts with the correct tags). And soon, I’ll have categories! Yay! Not that there’s that much to categorize….

But yeah, I’m tired, so you’re not getting anything else. Good day, my fine readers. Oh, and the pic in my profile? It’s of my sweets and I holding hands. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Here’s a link to a bigger one!

In my last segment on this subject, I disscussed the use of the venerable Firewall. If a Firewall is the gate and gate keeper to your kingdom, then Anti-Virus Software is the guards who patrol your town and catch any riff-raff that get by the gate.

Now, some out there will be saying “I don’t need Anti-Virus software! I don’t download dangerous files!!!”. Hogwash. Just going online can open you up to the Blaster Worm. I still to this day am not sure how I got it, but I do know it took me a litte while to figure out why my computer kept restarting. A good virus scanner will take care of that for you, likely before it becomes a problem.

Now, to know about virus scanners, you have to know a thing or two about viruses. A virus is in many cases a misnomer. You see, when most users (and software companies) speak of a virus, they are in fact refering to a large family of computer software, generaly written with malicious intent. This greater family is called Malware. So go on, read a bit about the history of viruses and malware in general, then come on back for my recomendation on what to do about it.

Back with me? Good. The best way to avoid the perils accociated with viruses is to have a protection plan in place. Personaly, I like AVG Anti-Virus. They’re simple, effecient (mostly), and most inportant, they’re FREE!!! Yep. They offer a paid version, but you can get them free for personal use. So, for your Anti-Virus needs, I give them a big thumbs up. Another choice I’ve heard good things about is NOD32. I can’t vouch for them like I can for AVG, though.

At any rate, tune in next time when I go over the next essential to safe surfin’: GET RID OF INTERNET EXPLORER!!!

‘Till then, adu, fair readers.

Any way, here it is:
