Praying Mantis

Yesterday right outside the door to my townhouse, there was a praying mantis on the wall. Since these creatures are endangered, I figured it was a good photo opportunity! Here’s one of the pictures I took:

Well, I finally got around to setting up a webmaster email account for DeuceNet. webmaster@deucenet.com is now active, so feel free to send any questions or comments about this website to it.

On a completely different subject, happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yarr.

AIM Viruses

Edit: 1/3/06
I have now updated the aimfix.exe file. It is now the version created by www.jayloden.com on 12/27/05.

It has come to my attention that there are a lot of AIM viruses going around. Someone from your buddy list sends you a link, you click on the link, and bam, you have a virus. Since I’m sick of getting all of these virus links sent to me, here’s a way you can get the virus off of your computer:

1. Download this program.
2. Double click on the program.
3. That’s it

I originally got this AIM fixer from http://www.jayloden.com/, so props go out to that website.

Argh

So the CD that came with my astronomy text book is missing a small piece. It is no longer a complete circle. To remedy this situation I went back to the bookstore today and showed them the problem. Now I have to wait for the bookstore to call the book’s publisher and get an answer from them about what to do. I am frustrated by this situation.
