Found a sneak peek of the Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King trailer here and it looks pretty good although the trailer is in a pretty small format and the bit rate is low making it a little shaky. The best way to view it is with Quicktime at twice screen size. The official trailer is not scheduled to come out until mid September and these downloads are a bit scarce and sketchy so this one might not be valid by the time you try it. Still, it makes waiting for the movie more exciting when you can get a snippet of the film and it looks great.
We are still waiting on the landscaper to come and start our yard. He was supposed to have been here at the beginning of the week but so far has been a no show. I only hope we don't see snow flying before it gets done.
Another virus is making the rounds and this one is creating a lot of havoc. Sobig-F is a variant on a virus that was out a few months ago. I have heard reports that this or else the Blaster or both have been responsible for knocking out several big corporate computer systems including a railroad in the states and the Air Canada ticket desks. Better make sure that your virus definitions are up to date and that you download two more critical updates from Microsoft if you are running XP.
