AVG

Despite a couple of false positives on the scan, AVG is now active as my new anti virus program. It works, and email and web are back to normal.

Who knows what the fuck was wrong with Avast! Had a problem with that once before where the definitions file got corrupted and it started finding trojans everywhere, so I don't mind the swap.

Go-Lo bargain

Will be checking out one of these Bagless Vacuum Cleaners at Go-Lo today. At $39.00 for a 2000 W cleaner it seems too good not to have a look at.

adventure

Well, I think I was right when I said that the day was going to be an adventure.

I: went to Charlestown after missing one bus and catching another almost immediately; went to the library; caught the wrong bus to the wrong destination; got off at Cardiff station and caught a train/bus that got me to Toronto 20 minutes before the right bus would have; browsed a second hand Bookshop and found Time/Life books on Rome and Byzantium I'd been looking for (for quite a while; had lunch at an Indian/Kebab place; checked out local second hand shops; went to Toronto library; went to ALDIs; finally got to Go-LO and bought a cyclonic vacuum cleaner for $39.90; waited for the bus back to Glendale and chatted to a one eyed man who put meths in his car's tank to get rid of water; got home with a ton of Library stuff; some food and the vacuum cleaner; greeted by Bobby (who hadn't got out); left again and went to Jesmond; got two photos printed at Big-W; travelled on two buses to Edgeworth where I nought Groceries at Coles; and finally caught the bus home (again).

Been a long day, but I had fun.  My feet hurt, I feel good.
