A very cold Tuesday

Welsh class again this morning, continuing to work on the current assessments, firing questions at each other and making notes of the answers. No rain today which makes a welcome change but the weather has become much colder with quite a frost last night.

A new release of the blog software today, quite a few changes to options and plugins, I’ve completed the upgrade and it seems to be working as planned.

The problems with email on my webhost appear to have been resolved, they’ve been undertaking a server upgrade and for several days recently email access has been dreadful. Apparently no emails sent to me have been lost but they have been taking a significant time to arrive, the backlog has now been cleared so fingers crossed!

I’ve also upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2007 on my notebook computer, a tortuous upgrade that probably needs a complete uninstall and reinstall which may sort out the problems. In typical Norton / Symantec style the uninstallation fails, I’ve raised a support query but as my last one went unanswered I’m not holding my breath. I have two months left with my current subscription so the jury’s still out on whether I’ll continue using the product or revert to my previous security products.

A warm dry Saturday

Work is continuing on the new fences, John is using an air powered nail gun to attach the feather edge uprights and it’s quite amazing how quickly the fence is being put up.

I’ve had to restore the main software drive on one of my computers as Norton Internet Security 2006 is still causing major problems if I use Live Update to take the latest program updates, it keeps accessing the drive and it’s impossible to open the Norton interface to disable it. I think when the subscription expires I’ll be uninstalling Norton on that machine and using an alternative solution for anti-virus, firewall and spam blocking.

A bright Sunday

A quiet day at home today. I installed Norton Internet Security 2006 on the desktop pc today, for a few years I stopped using Symantec products as I found they were often a serious resource eater on my computers, however the latest versions seem to perform very well. I’ve now removed AVG anti-virus, Agnitum Outpost Firewall and Spamweed and we’ll see how the more integrated approach in Norton works, so far so good.
