Thursday night was my first of hopefully many to come Holiday Party’s. It went well thanks to my Mother for showing up at the last minute to help make food. I ended up getting way more food than I needed so that just gives me something to replace Thanksgiving leftovers. I’ll post pictures in the Photo section later this week.

Friday was pretty relaxing. I got a new toy from IBM to play with until the end of the month so I spent most of the day setting it up. To avoid the Chicago/Milwaukee snow my Mom decided to stay and we watched Finding Neverland. Considering I usually hate Johny Dept I was pleasantly surprised at what a good movie it was.

Saturday was spent fighting a virus. I don’t know how Bri got it but her laptop picked up a nasty Spybot32 worm variant. AV had trouble cleaning it since it had replaced a bunch of Windows files. I tracked it down to a replaced version of winlogon.exe that was done at 3:30 last Tuesday. Even more strange was that Chris got the same virus around the same time. I ended up just backing up her data and reinstalling Windows. It’s always quicker to take the easy way out and it makes me feel better that there is no way that thing is on her laptop anymore.

I also got working on a new design for the blog. I took the blogger template that Doug Bowman with StopDesign made and started teaching myself table-less CSS layouts. I never bothered to learn it when I was doing web design work at Radio K and I thought I could use a web refresher. New site will be up sometime in January.
