Today I was a spent the evening providing a cousin tech-support. It seems she got tricked into downloading Security Tool. A fake anti-virus that holds your computer hostage unless you register it.

Project 365-048: From the Ice
Over the course of Jacobs skating lessons this year, I’ve strapped on my own skates three times, the first time was to see just how bad a skater I am. I hold my own, I haven’t fallen yet. The second was because Danny couldn’t make it and some one had to do it. Tonight was …

Revisiting the inbox

Project 365-044: Pigtails
Well it took just under 13 months but Melissa has finally managed to give Violet pigtails. Not sure what inspired her to try this morning but she did and found that it worked. They are pretty small pigtails but I have to say they are cute. Though they represent something I don’t like admitting, My …

Project 365-043: Opening Ceremonies
Tonight is the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympic games. I had hopped to watch the opening Ceremonies with Melissa, but it wasn’t to be. She’s off at work and though I thought of keeping Jacob awake to watch with me, I think he might be just a little to young. I’m hoping to …

Project 365-041: Mixing Up Playtime
Tonight for play time with Jacob we built a shed for his trains out of Lego. We started by making letters out of his Lego and spelling his name, but then the thought of a shed for his trains came up and away we went. It was a fun time. Though as it seems is …
