I can't remember the last time I was this tired. It's been a while since I was working 17 hours a day and after only 3 days of it I'm suffering already. I have found a new friend, it's called Redbull :-)

I routed through a cable into the video shop so I can watch Sky during the day. Yesterday and today it was Bravo. I can remember as a kid when Knight Rider first came on air and I couldn't believe how cool the series was. I look at it now and chuckle at how corny it all is.

My dog Zeus is all moody because he's only used to being left alone 1 day a week and I'm glad he doesn't understand there is still another 2 days to go hehehe.

This new virus Sasser is already causing problems for friends. I had the owner of Pappas bring his machine over yesterday because it was grinding to a halt. I didn't know about Sasser yesterday but I saw he had a virus and removed it. It was only this morning when I was watching the news did I see the reason for his problems. Sasser is unusual because it doesn't rely on you clicking or opening anything; you can get infected just by being on the internet.

To protect yourself against this and other viruses you must:-

1. Turn your firewalls on
2. Update your virus programmes at least once a day.
3. Keep up-to-date with windows updates

Recently the virus checker I use has updated more than once a day and even this is sometimes not quick enough because there will always be a few hour gap between the virus being discovered and the updates being created. If you use a modem it will be a real pain but it's something that you must keep on top of.
