Tuesday

This morning, I went for a slightly chilly bike ride. During the ride, I received a call from a customer, so I paid him a visit. Luckily, he's a contractor, so a slightly sweaty IT guy wasn't too inappropriate. I wouldn't make it a habit, though.

Anyway, his Vista Home laptop forgot about a printer that was attached via USB, and his Norton 360 installation was acting bad. The printer issue was rather easy; changed USB ports, the laptop found the printer, reinstalled the drivers and printed a test page.

Norton, as usual, is a bit more fragile. It hadn't finished the last full scan, and LiveUpdate didn't look like it would finish until the scan completed. Moreover, until it was correctly updated, it held the real time virus scan offline.

Have I mentioned I'm not a big fan of Norton Anti Virus products? My opinion, of course, does not reflect that of management, etc, etc.

If he hadn't recently renewed the subscription, he'd be running AVG right now.

In other events, I'll install the RDRAM this afternoon, finally.

Meeting at the club this evening, and a visit to St Joes will round out the day. My trip to St Joes concerns a member of the club (Tri County) who dumped his bike this past Saturday. He'll be OK, but it will take about a year of rehab and PT. We're all thankful for that.
