With the weather getting a bit nippier out these days and the middle of October just passing us by I spent the day getting a few things prepped for winter including stowing the patio furniture and cleaning out the garage a bit. I just replaced the small entry door on the garage with the one that used to be on the front of the house. It was going to be trashed anyway so I salvaged it to replace the old garage door that was slowly falling apart.
I just installed five more security updates for Windows XP which are now being released once a month instead of every week. I guess Microsoft thinks that they can save time by giving us five at once instead of one every few days. However, I wonder how vulnerable we will be while we wait for the monthly "fix".
Looks like the PC and the Alliance are making political history by going ahead with their merger although they don't want to call it that. I guess the PC term is "creating an new party which will be greater than the sum of it's parts." They're thinking like Microsoft now... better to have one big group of boneheads instead of a bunch of small groups of boneheads. Makes for more efficient incompetence. Actually I shouldn't be so crass. The new party will have their hands full when a new election rolls around with the Liberal power team to go up against. T'will be an interesting spring.
