be careful with avg8 virus scan

it now knows how to look in detail in .tar and .tgz files (avg 7), and if it finds anything inside these (in my cases, old) unix files, IT WILL DELETE THE ENTIRE FUCKING TAR FILE, regardless of how important it might be.

And I mean DELETE.  not just "virus vault". 

Much of my archives of my time with my previous company are now GONE.  Utterly Wiped, because of ONE file in ONE obscure mail folder: "trash" (meaning to my mind I'd already deleted it).

I am NOT fucking amused right now.

point to ponder

Robert Fripp's Diary for Tuesday, 27th May 2008:

Faith, Hope & Love: three ways to the True, the Real & the Good. There is a fourth way: a shift in consciousness. When our consciousness changes, we experience Faith, Hope & Love quite differently. These become less, qualities that we hold; rather, qualities that hold us. They find a place to reside in us: if we invite them, welcome them, support their action in us.

not sure who the author is, but i like it...
